  1. What's the craziest getup you've ever seen?

    JeneraterRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    The worst one I've seen was an absolutely awful Tshirt that the mother of an OB was wearing. The poor infant is being held by his grandmother while she's wearing a shirt that says, "Clean your cli--y...

  2. Thick skin

    JeneraterRN replied to Chixie's topic in General Nursing

    Why are they saying you need a thicker skin? Are you defensive in the face of constructive criticism? New grads are often needing feedback during orientation and learning facility policies. You...

  3. What are your ICU policies?

    JeneraterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all! I'm currently working on creating ICU policies that we are lacking. Would anyone be willing to share the frequency of assessment for various conditions (mainly any differences between the...

    Thanks! That's a great

  5. Using technical jargon with patients-EYE OPENER

    JeneraterRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had an experience today that I thought should be shared because it was such a powerful lesson. Yesterday, I had to attend a customer service training session that showed a video of a man talking...

  6. Using technical jargon with patients-EYE OPENER

    JeneraterRN replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    For this particular doc, I think she was just really tired. She looked

  7. Using technical jargon with patients-EYE OPENER

    JeneraterRN replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    There are definitely some docs that are better at this than others. I can see why some may have trouble converting their language to layman's terms, but you have to at least try to ascertain if they...

  8. Toradol use in L&D

    JeneraterRN replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your MD has the training and knowledge base (hopefully) to make a risk vs. benefit decision. If you feel like you should question it, then do. Hopefully, the MD's you are around are approachable and...

  9. Quitting more than one addiction

    JeneraterRN replied to Nursetastic's topic in General Nursing

    Though you've now found that the counselor recommended this route, I've heard the same story from those who are outright lying about what a professional says about their rehab because they dont want...

  10. Toradol use in L&D

    JeneraterRN replied to foreverLaur's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Darn, I jumped on this one because I thought I could give a good answer, but the previous three responders nailed it. Kudos to

  11. Kudos

    JeneraterRN replied to LLL01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oh geez, now I really feel behind. In our hospital, the OB nurse is the neonatal nurse. Another RN comes from the med/surg floor to assist with babe in a vag delivery, and our csections are like a...

  12. Kudos

    JeneraterRN replied to LLL01's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for your observations! I hope you find nursing in general as

  13. Gah! So much judgement on all nurses.......

    JeneraterRN replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    No, not at all, I was just curious why you stayed. You seemed very upset. I'm glad you found some

  14. Gah! So much judgement on all nurses.......

    JeneraterRN replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry xtxrn, but I have to ask you this-weren't you going to give up this site for this very reason? Your recent thread regarding the rudeness of allnurses lead me to believe

  15. Stupid mistake that I can't fix

    JeneraterRN replied to SneakySnake's topic in General Nursing

    Our version of meditech has a section for notes that cannot be amended. Thankfully, I caught myself before I filed "S@&$ summary" instead of shift summary. I think that was Freudian that day,...

  16. Should rural nursing be a specialty?

    JeneraterRN replied to msn10's topic in Rural

    Thank you for a very constructive question! As a rural nurse, the generalist nature is quite challenging. OB has been a particular challenge to gain proficiency because I practice OB perhaps 10% of...

  17. When "The Calling" wears off?

    JeneraterRN replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    You know OP, I've read many of your posts and have found them very interesting. Keeping in mind that I only know you from posts, I could definitely see you as being the idealistic philosophical type....

  18. Met and worked through greatest fear in OB

    JeneraterRN posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello Allnurses community, I had an experience that I thought I'd share. I have practiced OB nursing in our hospital for two because of a lack of nurses in that area. The thought of coding a...

  20. Racking my brain for this 14 year old patient, can't get her case off my mind, help?

    JeneraterRN replied to EponaRN's topic in General Nursing

    i'm with you on this one! sounds like it to me, too. may have to get a visual on that

  21. How many other nurses do you work with?

    JeneraterRN replied to rob4's topic in General Nursing

    We are a 23 bed hospital and staffing changes with the types of patients we have. PP OB is 3-1 Pt to nurse, laboring is 1-1. Med/surg and swingbed ratios vary because they are often mixed together....

  22. 4th of July in the ER

    JeneraterRN replied to tk88's topic in Emergency

    we have a lady who regularly comes in with dka and has had a few over a thousand, one at 1250. get this, she's usually awake and talking. she's probably the most brittle diabetic i've ever seen in...

  23. 2 Wks Postpartum Bleed in ER

    JeneraterRN replied to flyingchange's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I agree with the first two respondents, though I am surprised by the length out from delivery, as well. It would be useful to know her WC, med and surgical history, and medications in case there is...

  24. 4th of July in the ER

    JeneraterRN replied to tk88's topic in Emergency

    My 4 year old daughter was caught in a firework accident tonight. Thank God that it wound up being a quarter sized first degree burn. Unfortunately, she's in major need of a haircut. It's ironic...

  25. What ridiculous things have you seen happen in the workplace?

    JeneraterRN replied to pink_shoes99's topic in General Nursing

    I personally like the male trauma victim that was asked for a urine specimen in our ED. He gave us the wrong kind of specimen. Curiously, lotion disappeared in that man's room like crazy-I wonder...
