    Protecting my license

    P_RN replied to cassie1682's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'd be wary. Check w/ your malpractice insurance co. Friends have a way of expecting the most of you, and you wouldn't want to have anything go amiss. I believe also the highest standard would...

    Drug orders PO "o.d."?

    P_RN replied to missninaRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    No way should you give this. It's a bogus order. OD is not an abbreviation for anything oral. The doctor needs to

    OMGosh...she wrote me up! Update about the Narcan!

    P_RN replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I'd assume writing up would be the making of an occurrence/incident report, either naming or suggesting that triage did or didn't do something. Wouldn't something from management be more of a...

    May I nitpick here? This has nothing to do with Triage's post. Slander is spoken Libel is written (like in a Library book) Now back to our regularly scheduled

    New Grad - can't keep it together.

    P_RN replied to vegnurse21's topic in General Nursing

    IS this a hospital? Frankly I don't think 4 weeks is long enough of an orientation to be set out totally on your own. That plus it's really only been 2 weeks on the unit you are currently assigned to....

    Back-handed compliments

    P_RN replied to EmerNurse's topic in General Nursing

    OK our clinical ladder required being a preceptor. I ended up with several additional nurses because _____________ also a senior RN didn't LIKE to precept. Hey I liked it, BUT I also liked the extra...

    OMGosh...she wrote me up! Update about the Narcan!

    P_RN replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    In the first grade they told me that when you point a finger there are 4 more pointing back at you. She pointed the finger and it seems that she may have been covering her gluteal prominences with...

    Hello MA to LPN???

    P_RN replied to happymama30's topic in Washington Nursing

    There are as many answers to your question as there are people in WA. :) First where you live, are there LPN schools? They are usually but not always associated in technical colleges. Where you took...

    What is the major reason nurses leave?

    P_RN replied to saguaro13's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to point out that management might just tell you that W/C is out because you cannot pinpoint an exact event/injury. Management is "NOT THE BOSS OF W/C" I don't know how it is in TX, but...

    How can I check out a doctor's reputation?

    P_RN replied to nurse_wannabe's topic in General Nursing

    I chose my IM doctor by asking the nurses who worked with internists on the floor. Then I asked Internists what they thought of my choice I chose my GYN by asking OB/GYN nurses who they would use...

    Internet at work?

    P_RN replied to Kait's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a slippery slope myself. Next time you are on the net note the time. Surf for what you think is say 10 minutes......I believe you will find you have been on quite longer than that. With...

    Best lotion & hand soap?

    P_RN replied to mommy2boys's topic in General Nursing

    I like Neutrogena hand creme. Their glycerin soap is good too. Some of my coworkers recommend Bag-Balm (Dairy farmers swear by it) Fortunately I have soft hands and hardly ever have chapping. Don't...

    Stupid Nurse Trick... Don't try this at home... or work!

    P_RN replied to TXRN02's topic in Nursing Humor

    On our code cart we had maintenance rig up a bracket to catch the cord in case someone tried running before unplugging. It kept the d/fib from falling and provided enough drag to remind us to unplug....

    scrubs: yes or no for an interview?

    P_RN replied to RNJess10's topic in Nursing Career

    Scrubs are pretty much as casual as you can get. In Europe they call them pyjamas. You don't have to buy a designer suit, but nice clothes and clean shoes say a lot about how you see yourself. I'd...
