  13. I think my spirit is officially broken...

    I would hardly consider looking at the monitor and recording the SPO2 and then looking at the hiflo or whatever respiratory device the patient was wearing assessment. Sounds like observation to me...
  14. Charge nurse and take patients?!!!

    On the telemetry unit that I used to work on, we became greatly understaffed for 8 months. Before that the charge nurse never took patients, but it became very necessary. When I would do charge, I...
  15. charge nurse after less than a year of experience??!

    I agree with you. Some people are able to handle the large amount of multitask multi directional work that is required for charge. I was charge nurse after about 3 months many shifts on a 24 bed...
  16. Encouragement?

    Good advice on getting the CNA before deciding to commit to nursing school. In fact it is required at our local technical college that all nursing students have the CNA cert before they can enter. I...

  21. Friend who does not do their work

    I come to work knowing what I am going to do and budgeting my time so I may complete everything. In the ICU of course things come up so it is important for me to be proactive and do everything that I...

    How else would they show off the
  23. Other nurses signing my initials

    Wow that sounds pretty darn crazy to me!! I would certainly say something. What if there was an error or some patient was hurt by a med and you did not even give it! That is poor practice and it...
  24. nurses with bipolar?
