  1. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    SionainnRN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't understand why the ER nurse is being harped on for "inappropriate admissions". The ER nurse has no control over what pt goes to which floor. If the floor nurse feels the pt is inappropriate...

  2. Punished for good time management (Vent)

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Emergency

    Thanks for the good wishes. I have a really hard time standing up for myself in these type of situations, but I will try the next 6 shifts if it starts happening again. If my manager wasn't so butt...

  4. Punished for good time management (Vent)

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Emergency

    There's really nowhere else for me to chart so that's out. At first I did take it as a compliment, especially when one charge tells me she's giving me the harder assignment because she knows I can...

  6. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    SionainnRN replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I find it very hard to believe that the ER nurses don't chart their meds. Everyone has to chart meds given, no matter what floor. Maybe you can't see the ER MAR, but to imply we just give meds willy...

  7. Falsify credentials

  9. Punished for good time management (Vent)

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Emergency

    The docs put in orders. I'll be sitting to chart and my charge nurse tells me to clear their flags cause I've got to help them. Always great when I have almost double their pt load. And it's not...

  10. My school is saying I owe 1750!

    SionainnRN replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This isn't your advisors fault, you're an adult and it's your responsibility to be on top of your finances. They are just there to help guide you. I don't see any reason why you shouldn't have to pay...

  11. Nursing student theft

    SionainnRN replied to beeker's topic in General Nursing

    I would be ****** enough to bring charges against her. My stethoscope was a graduation present from my extended family and has a lot of sentimental value. BUT I would be ****** at the school for...

  12. Nurse to patient ratio in ED

    SionainnRN replied to 1fastRN's topic in Emergency

    That seems very unsafe. In my ER we usually have 4 beds each, unless the house is full type stuff and we're holding people. When someone has a one to one we try to absorb their other pts. But I've had...

  13. NG Tube

    SionainnRN replied to EDNurse13's topic in Emergency

    I'm the go to in my unit for these, I almost always have someone come in with me. I let the pt know exactly what I'm going to do, that it's not fun, it's going to hit their gag reflex and probably...

  14. how to deal with management?

    SionainnRN replied to takeiteasynyc's topic in Emergency

    Honestly it sounds like you're burning bridges. Even if you didn't have the issues with the manager and mistakes, calling out a lot when you've been there such a short time is bad. I know in my ED we...

  15. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    SionainnRN replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I personally hate it when pts walk from the ambulance with positive luggage sign....sigh I just know they're really

  16. Do you have 30 minutes for lunch?

    SionainnRN replied to Kurious RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked ICU and ER and except for the occasional crappy night I get lunch every time. But I also work nights so that makes it a little different than

  17. Hospital Marketing FAIL

    SionainnRN replied to tom's topic in Emergency

    One of the ERs I work at has a 15 min

  18. You won't believe.....

    SionainnRN replied to NanikRN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear God are you kidding me? If I'm interrupted while on my break you can bet I'm not going to be that nice to anyone, let alone a student. If she was there to prep for clinicals then that's what...

  19. Honestly, what does documentation get you?

    SionainnRN replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    I know at my hospital we can see their past visits but not the documentation that goes with it. If it's slow I can pull up their dc note from the doc but not the nursing notes. So your coworkers may...

  20. Why do I even bother anymore?

    SionainnRN posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

    So lately there have been a couple of threads on reddit of nursing posing in their scrubs, at work and obviously on the clock. I've tried to let them know that while it's not a HIPAA violation it...

  21. Why do I even bother anymore?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yep and so much of it is honestly who your friends are. You ****** someone off this week and have posted work stuff, they will screenshot it and send it to hr. I don't mention anything, literally not...

  25. Why do I even bother anymore?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    The reason I do try to warn them is because so many people aren't aware of the fact that pretty much every hospital has a social media policy. They think if they don't break HIPAA they can post...
