    HisHands replied to coadestone's topic in General Nursing

    Second thoughts? Medicine calling me!

    HisHands replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in General Nursing

    There aren't any physicians here, my dear. We are all either pre-nursing students, LPNs, RNs and some advance practice nurses. But, I hate to tell you none of us have gone through those 9 years of...

    Report in the pt's room?

    HisHands replied to 1BunnyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Our administration started that line of cr*p too. Here's my thought: How is doing "walking" report or report outside the pt room (or inside the pt room.... our rooms are semiprivate) not a HIPAA...

    Need some guidance to be an LPN!!!!

    HisHands replied to gogett's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know this is true for Michigan, and I can imagine it would be the same for other parts of the country. I don't think that they are able to offer accredited LPN programs online because these programs...

    HisHands replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Nursing

    We use two step for patients and employees. My inservice coordinator told me that nurses who work on TB units would get tested either every week or every two

    How do you deal with seeing a dead body?

    HisHands replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    If you are going to be an LPN, you will probably end up working in some form of long term care. I will never forget my first death. I had been a nurse for about 6 months, and I had already grown...

    Had my first doctor scream at me today

    HisHands replied to TigerGalLE's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We have one group of docs (actually, MDs and NPs) that are always on call for one of our regular docs. So, we get the priviledge of calling them pretty frequently. Anyway, I had to page this one NP...

    HisHands replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I recently had a pt that we had to bladderscan and frequently straight cath'd for urinary rentention. Well, he was uncut, and I swear to God cathing him was the worst experience of my life. The...

    Scripting Nurses?

    HisHands replied to Cindylufus's topic in General Nursing

    Think about it. If I was a patient and let's say I had ohhh... 5 different nurses during my stay. And let's say that every single nursing used that scripting every time they came into my room. If...

    Anyone work five 8's in a row 11p-7a?

    HisHands replied to RN007's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently working 8's, but did 12s in the past. I hate hate hate working 5 days a week, but it's my option at the moment. Before, if I had to work 5 days a week doing 12s, at least I had the...

    My job has no meaning

    HisHands replied to PHLEBOTOMIST_TO_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this is the way they do it up here in the sticks, but the phlebotomists I know all were hired in off the street (one in particular was an unprofessional manager of a gas station who got fired...

    HisHands replied to jamonit's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Big fat congrats to you.... No offense to you, but to all the nurses out there that have gone through pinning. I loved my pinning ceremony. Wouldn't have traded it for the world. BUT, geeze louise,...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands posted a topic in General Nursing

    Today my girlfriend confided in me regarding a situation she recently went through. I just don't know what to tell her. We are both relatively new nurses (2 years on the job). We work together at a...

    HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    HisHands replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    One of my rules of managing CNAs is: "I will never ask you to do something I wouldn't do myself." That includes bedpans, briefs and buckets (emesis). Another thing my nsg school taught us was our...

    How to get to work in a snowstorm?

    HisHands replied to AfloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know that sometimes situations cause us to live farther away from our employers than we would have hoped for... however.... I'm just curious why you would commute 1.5 hrs to work? Now, I'm...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate everyone's voices and opinions on this whole situation. Like I said before, I've passed on all of the posts throughout. I think that maybe I gave the wrong impression when I first...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    "The best thing your girlfriend could do is to see an attorney and plan a good offense...like why was a brand new orientee that was not being surpervised properly allowed to take on a new admission,...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry for not replying sooner... I've been super busy. First off, I am not trying to justify my gf's actions. But, I see her every day. I know what kind of an employee she is. I know what kind of a...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, my girlfriend did talk to the DON and apologized for her actions. The DON told her that she was happy my friend didn't end up working at her facility and was generally hateful to her...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    Is it normal to have more than one orientee with a preceptor? I've never had to share an orientator before, so I don't know. I can only think that by having two orientees with this poor lady, this...

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate everyone's input in this. It's scarry to think that she is a brand new nurse and already put her license in jeopardy. But, think about what most 23 year olds are doing these days.......

    What do I tell her?

    HisHands replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    If she loses her license, is there anyway of getting it back, or will she never be eligible to work as a nurse

    No Medical Background

    HisHands replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Nursing

    Here's my two cents for what it's worth. I never worked in the medical field before becoming a nurse. BUT, there were a LOT of students from my class who were CNAs. Let me tell you that I didn't...
