1. Nurse stealing narcs advice

   notyetnurse replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

   With all due respect is it your business? I understand standing up for patients and by all means reporting an impaired nurse who may well make a mistake and cause a person harm but truthfully, you've already approached your DON. several times as you ...

2. Being blamed for fall after shift

   notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

   To all thank you so much for the input. I really have been questioning it and feeling bad but you are correct and the input solidifies my position to take this up the ranks if need be. At this point only the night shift has documented the fall and I ...

   @boomer thank you very much for your thoughtful and kind reply

4. Being blamed for fall after shift

   notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

   And you are correct - there is no way a chair alarm would have gotten anyone to bedside quicker than a nurse that was already at bedside

5. Being blamed for fall after shift

   notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Yes the oncoming nurse was in the room and says that the patient attempted to get up on her own and the nurse broke the fall. I have my doubts as to whether the pt attempted to get up vs the nurse attempted to move her but regardless

6. Being blamed for fall after shift

   notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

   According to my facility "any unplanned descent to the ground" is considered a fall. So I guess if the patient plans to fall we are in the clear 😡

7. Being blamed for fall after shift

   notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

   Agreed on both counts. I did make it very clear today that I will not be signing anything and that I will take this further up if necessary

8. Being blamed for fall after shift

   notyetnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all, I have a question maybe you can offer some input. Even if you can't I need to vent a little to people who may understand. I'm a relatively new ICU nurse. I've been on the unit for about 2 month now, 5 weeks or so on my own. I have never h...

11. how to tell P wave from T wave on EKG?

    notyetnurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Good morning all, Taking a very intense program to transition to the RN role in the next 6 weeks and a big part of this is EKG. We did cover some of this in school but not extensively and it may sound funny but I am having a hard time differing betw...

12. I received this email from a professor. I was a little shocked. Opinon?

    notyetnurse replied to kdflet's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I don't see anything wrong or rude about the email either. My LPN and RN programs were both at a Catholic hospital and perhaps that is why, but we were always subject to being inspected by faculty. In actuality, I find it hard to believe that ...

13. Graduation can truly give ya the blues...

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in Stress 101

    @ Vintagemother, exactly. It's the routine, the comfort of it all. I know it goes away eventually - LPN school took months to get over haha! but we were all very close. In this case, I will certainly miss the professors and the routine of having to s...

    notyetnurse posted a topic in Stress 101

    Well, I have been doing my research on this topic so I know I'm not the only one but just wanted to share that I will be graduating in less than 4 weeks now. Yes, it is supposed to be one of the happiest times of our lives and, yes, everyone I mentio...

15. Speaking of imperforate anuses.. an HR story

    notyetnurse replied to notyetnurse's topic in LPN-RN

    Wanted to take a second and thank the folks who took their time to reply. In the end I did go up the ladder to HR - risky, yes, but in my mind I figured there wasn't much to lose. I made sure it wasn't a bashing session, simply told the person the fa...
