    JeneraterRN replied to made's topic in General Nursing

    JeneraterRN replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Condom catheters seem to cause a mess you are trying to avoid, and have a high potential for skin breakdown on the member. B&O's are still made and we use them, but are not a good choice for long...

  15. What have your co-workers done to make a shift go more smoothly?

    JeneraterRN replied to xtxrn's topic in General Nursing

    Ward clerks are invaluable and an essential part of the team. Some are more efficient than others-lol. It's really helpful to me when the offgoing night nurse takes care of the 0730 meds. That's a...

  16. Strange encounter at flu shot clinic

    JeneraterRN replied to newtress's topic in General Nursing

    Who knows if she was a real RN or LPN? It wouldn't be the first time. I wonder if she thought that she could get a discount for giving it herself. I'd have refused her,

  17. Interview today...why ask me to come if you've already decided on someone?!!

    JeneraterRN replied to Lifeofanurse's topic in Nursing Career

    That seems like a tough situation, hearing your side of it. Rejection is awful, even when done nicely. One potential employer told me once that she thought I'd be too bored-clearly she didnt pick up...

    JeneraterRN replied to Gently.me's topic in General Nursing

    Your coworker is right-hang in there. There are people like that everywhere, this will not likely change with a change of scenery. Only you can allow yourself to feel like, "you can't do anything...

    JeneraterRN replied to vashtee's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to me once. A patient threw a Kleenex box when he was told that he wouldnt be receiving any more narcs. I told him that since it was time for him to ambulate, he could pick that up...

  23. How to handle particularly pushy/picky/questioning family members

    JeneraterRN replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I hear you. Last shift, I had a patient's wife follow me for 2.5 hours asking for DC orders after telling her multiple times I'd come to the patient's room when I had them. Meanwhile, they had...

  25. Anyone ever seen a 17.2 for an INR

    JeneraterRN replied to LVN2beRN's topic in General Nursing
