  1. Things that patients say that make me smile!

    3dayRN replied to ninaricci's topic in General Nursing

    I asked an older man during his admission assessment when his last BM was and he said "well it was sometime this year" I told him I hoped it was sometime this

  2. New Grad Co-worker driving me NUTS!!!!

    3dayRN replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    I would be annoyed if this supervisor acted this way also. I work with a nurse, the most senior nurse on the floor. If I have to follow her I always, and I DO mean always, find mistakes. She is the...

  3. Call light response time policy and procedure

    3dayRN replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    I do not follow our policy that no one can walk past a call light. As someone stated in an earlier comment I will not stop if I'm already going to another room to pass meds etc. I just think its very...

    3dayRN replied to MYRN2016's topic in General Nursing

    We have had a policy for awhile that states NO ONE is to walk past a room with a call light going off (still haven't figured out what they want us to do if we are walking to a room where we just...

  6. Did you get their bath done? Seriously?

    3dayRN replied to Bezoars's topic in General Nursing

    When I'm sick I always feel better after I have a shower. I understand as a nurse this is important but if I have to decide, for instance, between passing meds and giving a bath then they will not get...

  7. Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    3dayRN replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I guess it's just where I live then. I only see RN plates, and a lot of them too! Just wondered how it was in other places. I still think it's strange though, don't know why I just do

  8. Why do nurses feel the need to put RN on their license plates?

    3dayRN replied to 3dayRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If you notice this is a nursing site. This site has nursing students, NA/PCT's, LPN's etc.... So, that is the reason I put RN in my title. If this site was only for RN's then I would not identify...

  9. Are you insulted????

    3dayRN replied to CNABESS's topic in General Nursing

    My mom is a CNA and loves her job. That's what she wants to do. I have never thought for one minute that she should be a nurse. I was a nurse aide before becoming a nurse and I liked my job also...

    3dayRN replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

  12. CNA's/PCTs are worked real hard.

    3dayRN replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as and aide before becoming a nurse and it is hard work but ultimately you are not responsible for the patient the nurse is. Everywhere I have worked as and aide or nurse it was ALWAYS the...

  13. How to get a nurse to give a quick change of shift report

    3dayRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    There is a nurse at work that takes way too long giving shift report. So if I have to also give report to the nurse she is talking to I sometimes have to wait 20 minutes for her to quit talking. I...

  14. Am I the only one?!!

    3dayRN replied to BrewerRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been on bothe sides, I usually go to work if I am sick if it is something minor that I will not spread to staff and patients. There are sometimes I just HAVE to call off. I will NOT feel guilty...

  15. Insurance

    3dayRN replied to Chelsea K's topic in General Nursing

    It is a MYTH..and one of the biggest ones in nursing, that you are more likely to get sued if you have malpractice insurance...there is not a single statistic out there to back that up, not to mention...

  16. How to get a nurse to give a quick change of shift report

    3dayRN replied to 3dayRN's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse I'm talking about is not a new nurse. She's been a nurse longer than me. I don't think she would appreciate me giving her pointers on how to give report. I also can't redirect her to keep...

    3dayRN replied to newbiekenobe's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not oxygen, this is considered a medication. Now in certain situations I have put on o2 then called for an order or talked to the physician in the morning for an order. Either way you have to get an...

    3dayRN replied to kikwon89's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Just found this post. I work on a stepdown floor and I would have held the insulin WITHOUT a dr. order also. Happens all the time on my floor. If I called the doctor about this, I work 7p-7a, I...

    3dayRN replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    3dayRN replied to tammietan's topic in General Nursing
