  1. Someone has to stay!!!!!

    rnccf2007 replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    Have to agree, this happens many times where I work. Refuse to be guilted anymore, because after 12-14+ hours with one or two five minute breaks, I can't do anymore without being a danger to my...

  2. sneaking meds in food

    rnccf2007 replied to playforever's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, are you sneaking the morphine to chemically restrain the patient? If so, not a very good idea. As the previous poster states..."it's a fine

  3. Night shift, CNAs and homework

    rnccf2007 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember right, the OP asked for opinions. No one questioned your abilty as a CNA, but for some reason, you feel a great need to justify why you did homework while you were on company time and...

  4. Night shift, CNAs and homework

    rnccf2007 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this comment. Beginning to feel like a B and perhaps a minority here, which I did not wish to portray. I am proud to be the latter. Thanks,

  5. Night shift, CNAs and homework

    rnccf2007 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    Not on my unit, it is always crazy and there are no nights when not much needs to be done. I want your job! Getting homework done is a null issue. However, most nurses on our unit try to help and...

  6. Night shift, CNAs and homework

    rnccf2007 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    If I could give you a million kudos, I would.

  7. Night shift, CNAs and homework

    rnccf2007 replied to bubblymom373's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, this post makes me livid. At the hospital where I work, night shift is just as busy as day shift and were are given less nursing assistants than day shift. In addition, many of our...

  8. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My apologies, just read your profile, welcome to the real world of hospital nursing, where there is often a "get them in, get them out, transfer" etc between departments with no real regard to...

  9. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Furthermore, who or what are you? No specialty, no years of experience. If you are not a nurse, why are you

  10. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, have you ever worked in a hospital? Does not always work this way. For example, ER calling to give me report on a patient (new admit) , when I haven't even gotten report on the other four...

  11. "Nurses Are So Mean"

    rnccf2007 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Unfortunately, "mean" people and bullies exist everywhere and will; therefore, be found in every profession. And...nurses are definitely not saints, just ordinary human beings. There are some nurses...

  12. Why do Doctors think they are................God!!

    rnccf2007 replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    recent e-mail to my boss after a doctor complained that i did not put an admission order in ( admit with specific dx), and i was subseqently written up: what disturbs me is that: "no admission...

  13. Hospital frequent flyers??? Whatever happened to it being an acute care facility!

    rnccf2007 replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, nursing is a respected profession? Gallup can kiss my A$$, because I sure don't see any

  14. What reason is used for call offs!

    rnccf2007 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    This is pretty bizarre, but notable as an ultimate call-off. An employee where I worked at years ago called off, because her husband had been murdered. She stated that she would be back to work in...

  15. Is Nursing really THAT bad???

    rnccf2007 replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is. Why? For me it concerns the fact that nurses are the ultimate scapegoats. We are blamed when everyone else fails to do their job...from doctors, to nursing assistants, to housekeeping, to...

  16. Sitting down to calm an upset patient is unprofessional?

    rnccf2007 replied to kristandrews's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is some weird phenomenom or some old, yet not identified race. I do see the common heriditary trait of the brown

  17. Sitting down to calm an upset patient is unprofessional?

    rnccf2007 replied to kristandrews's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    God bless all "unprofessional"

  18. I'm the office manager and "his wife"

    rnccf2007 replied to netglow's topic in General Nursing

    STAY away!!!!! I was once worked as a medical receptionist for two partners. I was interviewed by doc 1 and his wife, and they hired me 2 days later. Doc 2 and his wife (unofficial OM) were on...

  19. IV med dosing question

    rnccf2007 replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

  20. Suspended without notice

    rnccf2007 replied to RUN_RN's topic in General Nursing

    So on top of being every imaginable scape goat are nurses now responsible to be prison guards also? What about the guard who was suppossed to "guard" this patient? And, if this person was such a...

  21. IV med dosing question

    rnccf2007 replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    Technically, I would say yes. But then again, aren't you practicing outside of your scope? You are saying that you would start the patient on 1 mg and give another if necessary. That is prescribing...

  22. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

    rnccf2007 replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks to everyone with a sense of humor for giving me a much needed belly laugh. My scrubs now know their place (white), and if they give me any trouble, I will punish them with a super strength...

  23. $450 scrub top... yeah, I know, for real.

    rnccf2007 replied to A&OxNone's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Nurse Jackie? ...or some rich imposter who is making a fashion statement out of our cherished

  24. IV med dosing question

    rnccf2007 replied to luv2b_a_nurs's topic in General Nursing

    Have had similar discussions with other nurses regarding such orders. Don't think that this is within the parameters for dosing. The order clearly states 1 mg q4 or 2 mg q4, not give 1 mg q2 and you...

  25. Intimidated Nurse, Informed Patient, and WebMD

    rnccf2007 replied to rnccf2007's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but I guess I left out the fact that the patient condoned this, because after we asked the family to leave twice, the patient stated she wanted them to stay. My interpersonal dynamics with the...
