    RosesrReder replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Nursing

    In my place of employment the charge nurse is the one who pushes the IV meds and hangs the blood. It just works better for everyone on the floor to keep the charge nurse out of staffing and she can...

    e-MAR headaches!!!!!

    RosesrReder replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient Medications

    The length of time for pharmacy to enter orders is insanely ridiculous. What if those meds are antibiotics or special compounds? We use Cerner and although I am not too thrilled about the charting...

    The case of the missing pens: A rant and an idea

    RosesrReder replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I think the contraption is a good idea for backup. When you find yourself looking for your other lost pens, you could quickly reach for your contraption and finishh what you are doing until you...

    WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    RosesrReder replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my neck of thw woods, most are allergic to work, make welfare a way of life and are the ones berating, and treating us (the nurses) like a POS. Great post

    Am I a victim of discrimination or being too sensitive?

    RosesrReder replied to TheFloorisCold's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to grow a backbone. As a latina, I have never hesitated to clarify, speak with, or pull someone aside to let them know how I feel things came across. Had that been me, I would have...

    Does Oxygen need to be prescribed?

    RosesrReder replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    Slap the NC on, monitor, assess and call the MD for an order (or whatever he/she wants). Everywhere I have worked there are specific oxygen orders upon admission for everyone, even if oxygen is not...

    RosesrReder replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I did the opposite. Didn't care about walking on stage to get a fake diploma with the entire college, so I didn't go. I went to the pinning ceremony only because it was only nursing and it was great...
