  1. cell phone usage at work

    Marnaby replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

    Some nurses carry cell phones on my floor, but don't use them. Our tele tech uses her cell phone during work which I don't agree with at all. If you're at work people should respect that and not...

    I also work at a large teaching hospital on an intermediate, or step-down, cardiac unit. During days and eves the RNs take 3-4 patients and at night we go up to 6-7. We usually have 3 or 4...

  3. Docs forced to write legible

    Marnaby replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    It really is a wonderful system and I have never seen anything like it (of course this is the first nursing job I've had). I wonder if there are other places around that do the same thing. I also...

  9. Transporting Telemetry Patients off the unit

    Marnaby replied to CV CNS CCRN's topic in Cardiac

    Where I work, patients are always taken off their telemetry monitor before they go off of the floor to a procedure. The only time a pt is accompanied by an RN is if they are on a drip like Nitro or...

    Marnaby replied to SCNuttyMeg's topic in Cardiac

    Thanks for the encouragement! Even though I am mentally and physically exhausted when I get home, I am thrilled to have put in a hard day's work. I learn so many new things everyday and for that I...
