  1. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I work in an ER and a coworker helped me out by discharging a pt for me. She later said how she thought he was cute, nice, funny, etc. Well we were looking at our hospitals facebook page and saw...

  2. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She didn't send text messages. She sent a message through fb. And yeah probably 75% of ER visits are true

  3. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well just talked to my coworker and she realized it was creepy and deleted the message. Hopefully that's the end of

  4. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The pt took a self portrait, and posted it on his page. My coworker didn't take, post, or get tagged in any

  5. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope she hasn't friended him, as far as I know. But with me telling her this was icky she may not tell me if she

  6. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The pt took a pic of himself and posted it on his page but tagged the hospital in the post. My coworker sent him a private message saying she hoped he was feeling better. My other examples were stuff...

  7. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And I think it would be only against policy if she had used his pt info to track him down. But since it was on a public fb

  8. Overreacting?

    SionainnRN replied to SionainnRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah that was my thought. Luckily it's not like she hit on him, which I've heard of nurses doing, everything she said was very nice and polite. I've even heard of some nurses getting pts phone numbers...

  9. Calculator at work?

    SionainnRN replied to 1Luv_xo's topic in General Nursing

    Of course!! And if you have any tricky calcs to do I usually have someone double check my math. Especially if its for a peds

  10. When did you realize that "newbie" wouldn't cut it in the ER?

    SionainnRN replied to lvnlrn's topic in Emergency

    Exactly. The pt being transferred could have waited a half hour. We weren't short on beds we were short nurses and that pt didn't need to be moved at that moment. What they needed to do is come see...

  12. When did you realize that "newbie" wouldn't cut it in the ER?

    SionainnRN replied to lvnlrn's topic in Emergency

    I have a feeling a nurse just off orientation isn't going to make it. Called to tell them I was bringing back a chest pain, they tell me they're going to take a non-monitored pt up to med-surg. I tell...

  13. It's Finally Happened!

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry but I have to think if Occam's Razor here, the odds of someone trying to sabotage a coworker on a website are slim to none. It's much more likely that the picture belongs to the

  14. Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    SionainnRN replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    How about the 29 year old who had a bad dream and came in for

  15. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    SionainnRN replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    Little confused as to what you're getting at. The pt in this scenario had a bolus ordered in the ED then 100 mL/hr on the floor, so the doc was specific. And since this pt was hypotensive she was not...

  16. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    SionainnRN replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it's very odd. Cause on this thread she says she's a new nurse. It would be nice if the OP could

  17. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    SionainnRN replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an ED nurse and bolus is always wide open. If its on a pump it's at 999 mL/hr if its on gravity it's

  18. Got fired for changing fluid rate

    SionainnRN replied to lolakbolak's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just confused about your work timeline. Plus you other post you were wanting to go part time and they already knew you didn't like it there. Sorry to say but you didn't get fired for a fluid...

  19. It's Finally Happened!

    SionainnRN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not slander if its true. And honestly if I found a coworker on here I would probably look through their posts, especially since it sounds like they are a terrible employee. You seem irrationally...

  20. I screwed up

    SionainnRN posted a topic in Emergency

    Busy night in the ED, down two RNs, and I screwed up and hung my abx before blood cultures were drawn. I know in the big scheme of things there are a lot worse mistakes that could have been made but I...

  21. Home med lists make me crazy.

    SionainnRN replied to imintrouble's topic in General Nursing

    In the er where I work it's up to the admitting md to get the med list as part of their h&p. when they come in we do our best but a lot of times the pt doesn't know, the pharmacist has gone home...

  22. Have you ever performed CPR? Results?:

    SionainnRN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's not about evidence it's about a scene not being safe and putting yourself in danger along with others. It wasn't known if the injured person had a gun or other weapon. If the op's brother wasn't...

  23. Have you ever performed CPR? Results?:

    SionainnRN replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Really? You brought your brother into the conversation, the other poster didn't know anything other than what you told us. I agree with her that by rushing into an unstable scene he put himself and...

  24. How often do you have codes on your unit?

    SionainnRN replied to Morainey's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in the er so

  25. Change of Mindset

    SionainnRN replied to exit96's topic in Emergency

    I've found "letting go" of the mentality of "my patient" was the hardest. You'll call report for another nurse who's pt you've never laid eyes on, you'll discharge a pt you've never seen before then,...
