   BunnyRN replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   I would look up meds before going into the room, see if VS need to be taken, look up any unfamiliar medication. Just briefly, and side effects, drug interactions. Once in the patients room with the...

2. uggh i soo want to give up right now!

   BunnyRN replied to erin01's topic in First Year After Licensure

   It is better to ask questions. Then, just working, without knowing rationales. Newcomers will be overwhelmed, it is expected. Don't be intimidated by people who may look down upon your curiosity for...

3. I'm so sick of training other nurses and new grads ! Will I ever get a break?

   BunnyRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   WOW!!! This is very scary. I believe that you should look for another job. Easier said, than done, in this tight economy. Talk to your NM, supervisor, management and explain that you do not feel...

   BunnyRN replied to LuvPedsNrsg's topic in General Nursing

   This is so true!!! I work with the good, the bad, and the worst CNAs. I do know that there are some lazy CNAs, and some lazy RNs. But it will be nice if sometimes you wouldn't have to beg, someone...

8. Can another nurse chart on behalf of you?

   BunnyRN replied to Truegem's topic in Medical-Surgical

   But what if tomorrow RN Jones totally denies ever making that phone call. Do you how many nurses deny knowing a pt. condition, during end of shift report. The next day when getting report, they'll...

9. Young Nursing Students

   BunnyRN replied to TaraRae123's topic in General Students

   The way I see things, very cliche "Age ain't nothing but a number", is so...true! Being an older nursing student doesn't make a person any smarter or dumber from another. It is the will to achieve...

13. Can another nurse chart on behalf of you?

    BunnyRN replied to Truegem's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I wouldn't take the chance because sometimes some nurses forget to do their work. I've come across some patients that denie certain treatments/medication given/done. Therefore, I will chart my own...

    BunnyRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    FLArn, You are absolutely right!!! Some nurses fail to report putting a patient on the bedpan, and causing spilling. They are giving extra work, simple communication saves time. I appreciate my...

    BunnyRN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I have personally witnessed this type of behavior. This is why, I encourage my CNAs to continue their education. I am proud of my CNAs because they have a lot of skills that you could learn to help...
