  2. Does anyone love their job?

    I adore nursing,love to assess my pt find something and report to MD,then treat it,I love to rub backs,I love it when the pt tells me I am the best,I love to look at my pt's at the end of the day and see that I did make a difference even if it is a v...
  3. I forgot to give report!

    RELAX you are so stressed you are forgetting things...you will notice that you will forget much less as you become more relaxed,your check box idea is a good one.Good luck.
  4. I'm so ashamed...

    Daytonight....I respect your thoughts,but I feel you are more than just alittle harsh...this new nurse is very remorseful,very worried about the pts well being...something happened that is not all that clear, no one knows {not even her} what she was ...
  5. I'm so ashamed...

    PLEASE.....do not punish....TEACH.
  6. I'm so ashamed...

    Almed,Please stop beating yourself up,you need to gather your thoughts,go to your manager and admit to your error,poor judgment is not a sin,but,you need to report the error,I hope the pt did not suffer any residual effects,as I am sure you do too,mo...

  9. Is 52 to old for starting nursing program

    Deb Good for you! I think with all your life experience's and your mature nature would make you a valuable employee,I would not hesitate at all.I would suggest that you work as an CNA just to get the feel of the hospital. Good luck and let us know ...
  10. Team Nursing...yay or nay

    We have primary care where we work....but it does sound alot like team nursing,RN usually have 3-4 pt's and oversee the 3-4 pt's assigned to LPN..they do own assessments,charting,they always mention that the RN collaborated in the care. Rn calls docs...
  11. House, MD last night.....AAAGH!

    Yes Steve I did see and hear it.....they could have helped him themselves...could have called for an CNA....I can tell you that I did see one of our MD's empty a bedpan once.......I was speechless....but after I worked with him more I realised he is...
  12. do staffs have a right not to send pt to hospital?

    I have to agree with the moderator on this one,OP sounds alittle judgemental,maybe the pt wants to "get away".
  13. I work in a small rural hospital in Nebraska,you would think the nurses here would be as professional as anywhere,or more so,wrong-wrong-wrong...we have some younger 22-30 year olds that use the f word and others I don't care to think of,at the drop ...
  14. Can anything be done about feeling like a waitress?

    I would not want to make a meal for a visitor either BUT service with a smile is the name of the game,doesn't your dietary dept. send late or extra trays for pt's? We have a coffe machine at the very end of the hall that gives free coeffe to all that...

  18. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Nurse clown...................you are 110% right, you have a wise NM.
  19. Ward Clerk in Med/Surg Unit

    I you want to be a nurse anyway,why don't you get your CNA first and work hands on, with the pt's. That would give you a good foundation to start from. Ward clerks are wonderful too.:balloons:
  20. backstabbing co workers

    Hopalong...........do we have to confront at the nurses station,or anywhere for that matter,why can't the NM do their jobs and get rid of these bullies???? Any NM out their that would like to comment...Has anyone ever been fired for being mean and na...

  23. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    Here it is a year + later,I have been following your lead and it does work,when your busy being a good nurse you don't usually hear the "bad stuff". I would like to hear from some management folks,still need to know why you allow it,surely you have l...
  24. Disney

    I understand that many US hospitals are adopting the Disney approch to nursing care,actually a hospital wide approch to improve care..... as you can see,I know very little about this,only a few things that other nurses have told me. Can anyone give m...
  25. Disney

    Thank-you,I have looked for this book and can't find it. Do you remember the author? I know pt. service is of the most impotant...but don't they also look at the "crabby" staff,those that may be good nurses but are awful to work with,they are the one...
