  1. I feel so bad

    JSlovex2 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    what?! must be nice to have time to watch TV. when i was a CNA i never had time to sit down. i could've easily skipped my break every night bc there was so much to do, but since my pay was getting...

  2. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    JSlovex2 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    i know when i was working as a CNA (and this is something i carry with me and i'm thankful for the experience) many of the nurses would let call lights ring and walk right by them or even be standing...

  3. I have your meds, please take them:)

    JSlovex2 replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    i see medications left unattended all the time and while it's definitely an issue, i'd hate to throw someone under the bus for it. i know how crazy things can get and mistakes can be made. i only hope...

  4. Nurses with nose piercings?

    JSlovex2 replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    i had my eyebrow pierced when i was younger. it got ripped out accidentally and i let it grow up because it was too nasty to try to put a ring or anything in there. it needed to heal. i have a little...

  5. Strep - Call in or go anyways?

    JSlovex2 replied to TX_nurse_08's topic in General Nursing

    stay home!! i've had strep a million times. i've rarely gone to the doctor, but when i have - it's been because i've had strep. my children have had it a few times as well. it never fails when one of...

  6. does anyone out there copy charts to save time?

    JSlovex2 replied to lordgregoryrn's topic in General Nursing

    i agree - the original documentation is the real issue. however, there's also no way that 15 patients ALL slept ALL night so that alone makes things "fishy" without taking into account their...

  7. NICU Nurses! Some advice & recommendations needed!

    JSlovex2 replied to BarnabusRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    be patient and kind. most everyone in the hospital has a family who is under stress and most everyone knows what it's like to deal with those family members, but having a child or newborn in the...

  8. Do hospital patients get better care if they're nice

    JSlovex2 replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    i was helping a nurse one time to clean up an incontinent patient (as a CNA) who had come to us from a nursing home. she had breakdown from not being turned as often as she should've been at the...

  10. off duty nursing?

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    where do you come up with these fabrications? how did the child i mentioned turn into a child who was: a. in distress, b. ignored, and c. needed her guardian located? i obviously didn't ignore anyone...

  11. off duty nursing?

    JSlovex2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    how many of you have been out in public when you had to step in and offer your assistance, or did you? i'm just asking because today i took my kids for a surprise visit to the park which is...

  12. off duty nursing?

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    i think this is something i need to look into further in regards to legality, etc. it's natural instinct to want to help (nurse or not) but since becoming a nurse i feel more than an instinct and more...

  13. off duty nursing?

    JSlovex2 replied to JSlovex2's topic in General Nursing

    awesome!! i'm glad the little girl today was OKAY not only for the sake of her being okay, but for the selfish sake of me not having to step in when i had 2 little kids who needed to be supervised so...

  14. HIPAA VIOLATION?

    JSlovex2 replied to katie maz's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    i don't think it's a violation. she was smart enough to use initials and not names. i'm with the person who said,"why post this on FB as the person won't read it," but then again - i guess it was an...

  15. When does the responsibility of a nurse start/end ?

    JSlovex2 replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    that's crazy! my manager has always told us we can't clock IN before X time, but what time we clock out depends on "what is best for the PATIENT. not what is best for night shift/day shift, etc., but...

  16. "I didn't want to go into nursing because I didn't want to be labled gay"

    JSlovex2 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Men in Nursing

    i disagree that the stigma of male nurses has subsided. it's still very much alive. as a CNA - when i'd go into a patient's room and introduce myself and write the MALE nurse's name on the board, i'd...

  17. Blood draws

    JSlovex2 replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    maybe i mis-read, but isn't it bc of the risk of

  18. Does anyone really like their job?

    JSlovex2 replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    when i get into a discussion with patients about my life in general and the road i took to get here - i always tell them when they ask that i really do LOVE working with patients, and it's true. i...

  19. Discharge presentation for a 12-month old

    JSlovex2 replied to kdon27's topic in Pediatric

    oh, okay. i figured the "cot" reference might be a geographical thing, but the "usually lives at home" i wasn't sure about. i tend to look too deeply into things - especially if i know it's an...

  20. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    JSlovex2 replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    furthermore, i agree with the person who said to contact the CEO of the entire establishment! if she contacts anyone else TRUST ME they will do everything they can to keep it out of the hands and away...

  21. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    JSlovex2 replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i don't care if she was a crack addict and the nurse saw a stem and some chore boy hanging out of her pocket - they were UNPROFESSIONAL and should most definitely be reported. this makes me SICK! i...

  22. post-interview anxiety!

    JSlovex2 replied to SrnD's topic in General Nursing

    others may disagree, but i wouldn't call back in a week. if they want you, by then, they will have called. i think it's extremely rude for an employer not to call or at LEAST email potential employs...

  23. Discharge presentation for a 12-month old

    JSlovex2 replied to kdon27's topic in Pediatric

    good ideas. "if momma ain't healthy, ain't nobody healthy!" jk. seriously, look into helping mom get healthy which in turn could help the child. maybe they need some community resources. did mom work?...

    the definition of resusciate: to revive, especially from apparent death or from unconsciousness. unless they are dead or appear to be dead - you seek help. DNR means do not bring them BACK (revive)...

    JSlovex2 replied to EliseM's topic in General Nursing

    this is a good idea - i was going to say dermatologists clinics. i would also go to a store like wal mart or target and write down the contact info (or use google) for some of the less popular...
