    Jenni811 replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Jenni811 replied to MsBlissful's topic in General Nursing

  4. Second career?

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    who knows?? i think it has to deal with benefits. you hire more part-time people, the less benefits you offer. she knows im interested and said a .75 "may open up" but she has been saying that for...

  5. can a med-surg nurse work in telemetry?

    Jenni811 replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    yes, you can. They may need to just schedule you some easier patients. I.e patients without drips. I work on a cardiac floor (basically a tele unit). we had an ortho nurse float up to our unit. We had...

  6. A vent thread for patients- what can we do better?

    Jenni811 replied to canoehead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Clearly you didn't because why would she be involved in anything else if she wasn't my nurse?? And it wasn't like i was THAT terribly critical like i couldn't breath. I came in before that point... I...

    Jenni811 replied to krista312's topic in General Nursing

    ours is pre-drawn up for us and we can just push it, no diluting necessary. 1mg/minute for morphine. the 50cc may not be good for patients with certain cardiac or pulmonary conditions (i.e. CHF or...

  9. A vent thread for patients- what can we do better?

    Jenni811 replied to canoehead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. Enemas for GI bleeders?

    Jenni811 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    And yes, i agree with xtxrn. you want warm water, not cold. but you don't want it too warm. Like body temperature warm, not hot tub warm.

  11. Enemas for GI bleeders?

    Jenni811 replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    They need to do the colonoscopy to see where the bleed is coming from. i had a GI bleed that had a tap water enema until clear. It was a huge mess, required 2 RN's and a CNA to do it. But, we got it...

  14. Clinic nursing vs Hospital nursing

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! :) It would be a clinic owned by a hospital, the one i work for now. I don't think we even have any physician owned offices. 2 large hospitals and clinics in town that would be difficult to...

  17. Second career?

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    i've considered it...if i found the correct place. The area i live in is very odd. its a large city in the middle of nowhere. So its not unheard of for a home health nurse needing to make a 2 hour...

  18. Question about wasting narcotics

    Jenni811 replied to EndoscopyLPN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Clinic nursing vs Hospital nursing

    Jenni811 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Jenni811 replied to SJE RN's topic in General Nursing

    i would have just left out names. Documentation isn't the place to point fingers at blame. If they want to know (as in the people who go over documentation or whoever reads that crap) then they will...
