  3. Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind this order?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm just gonna chalk it up to there was no rationale for this order and maybe the resident didn't know we could do D5LR...and maybe another poster above was spot on and the resident might have...

  4. Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind this order?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Patient Medications

  6. Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind this order?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Patient Medications

    This does make sense. So why would the doctors have us continue giving all of his PO meds and clamping the ng tube if they were all not going to be absorbed anyways? I don't understand why we would...

  7. Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind this order?

    MyUserName,RN replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in Patient Medications

  11. ER Nurse (Me) calls Report to Ortho/Neuro floor

    MyUserName,RN replied to libran1984's topic in Emergency

    I don't think you deserved that kind of questioning. Honestly, the report you gave her is better than I ever get from the ER for admissions. The best we get is a sloppy SBAR faxed that you usually can...

  13. Potential nursing students who dont want to hear the truth

    MyUserName,RN replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I think you should just leave it alone after the first attempt. Telling them the job market is tough and they may not get a job right away and then leave it at that. People told me that...

  15. New nurses feel like quitting?

    MyUserName,RN replied to Patti_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think nursing school in and of itself should be more clincal based and less of only teaching how to pass a test. It got to the point in my schooling where I could pass a test without studying much...

    MyUserName,RN replied to LifesAJourney's topic in General Nursing

    I was a tech on dayshift before I went to nights as an RN. I will tell you from the tech/CNA perspective working on days with more staff, it was still WAY more hectic and busy than the techs on nights...

  18. Dealing with doctors

    MyUserName,RN replied to ultrarunner's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't get that impression. Sounds to me like she was making sure the nurse is covering her A and charting that she made attempts to notify the dr of the

  19. First day of CNA clinical - Elder abuse?

    MyUserName,RN replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is why I would never have my mother in a nursing home. You just can't trust that everyone will always do the right thing. Plus, they are overworked and understaffed, it's impossible to give...

  20. help with interferring classmate

    MyUserName,RN replied to SC APRN's topic in General Students

    I don't see what the big deal was. She helped a pt to the bathroom and unless it was her pt how was she supposed to know about the situation with her not urinating and the need to get an accurate...

    MyUserName,RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    MyUserName,RN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not an L&D nurse, but I think you did the right thing. It's always better to be safe than sorry. When my water broke with my 2nd child, I went into the L&D Triage, told the nurse my water...

  24. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    MyUserName,RN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In the nursing school books techs, cna, aides, are all titled "unlicensed assistant personel" atleast nobody is running around calling you that all

  25. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    MyUserName,RN replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Personally I'd rather be called an aid than somebody call me their assistant. Its really all just a play on words that you are getting hung up on. If being the assistant, aide, caregiver, whatever,...
