    Waste of Time

    RosesrReder replied to casper1's topic in General Nursing

    Refaxing orders to pharmacy (yet again) because they can't find it, call them periodically to find out the status of your TPN/IL only to find the tech is out and you need to pick up yourself (no...

    Use your call light - Wisely

    RosesrReder replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This one of the few (ok many) reasons why I love working NICU vs Med-Surg :loveya: Still have nightmares from call bell abuse

    Anyone get away with a "questionable" hair shade?

    RosesrReder replied to Little Miss Blue's topic in General Students

    No one could speak for your program, so I'd play it safe and test the waters first before jumping into it. If push comes to shove, I would just wait until after

    My crockpot is my best friend! I do everything from a roast, to stews, chili, soups and my favorite..........lasagna in my crockpot!! It is the tastiest. I make my own sauce a little runnier than...

    Calling briefs "diapers"....*vent*

    RosesrReder replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I call them "underpants" plain and simple for adults. "Brief" doesn't work for some because they have no clue what that

    Neofax 2010 Question

    RosesrReder replied to niculove's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Yes, well worth it for me. I like the fact that I can highlight infusion times, special considerations, compatability of frequently used meds/fluids rather than sit there and search through the...

    Found A Patient Deceased In His Home

    RosesrReder replied to homenurselpn's topic in Home Health

    I am so sorry. It would have been an awful finding for anyone. You, being a nurse is not an exception. I don't have much advice other than maybe seek some counseling to help file it away. Good...

    BSN Required...what does this mean for the 2yr ADN programs ?

    RosesrReder replied to DaddyO's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It means they have a surplus from the pool of nurses to choose from. If there was a shortage of nurses, I guarantee you that the ad would say "Anyone with a pulse, warm body and license welcomed to...

    Most ridiculous patient requests?

    RosesrReder replied to AOx1's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd be like "heck yeah, if you get my NM to find coverage for my other 6 pts, sure will". Maybe, just maybe that way I get to hop, skip and eat my lunch on the way and get a break.........lol j/k of...

    How much does your hospital ceo make?

    RosesrReder replied to vivicaq's topic in General Nursing

    Not fair when there are no pay increases to the employees because of 'budget' costs, no working equipment because of 'budget' costs, no longer a secretary or housekeeper because of 'budget' costs...

    RosesrReder replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, it seems that the facility is going out of their way to please and 'respect' only one side versus the many that would be affected. I would have suggested that we do rounds, patient updates etc...

    RosesrReder replied to UnionRN2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What a bunch of bologna. The nurses would be laughing all the way to the floor pretending to listen/comply, had that been at my hospital. I too would wish mercy on that particular doc next time he...

    When did patients become "clients"?

    RosesrReder replied to woahmelly's topic in General Nursing

    To me, as the patient, it sounds as you are there for me (the client), only for $$ purposes. I don't know, sounds more 'personal' to me to be refered as your patient. Don't ask me why, but it does....

    Vaccine Question - Mistake worth mentioning?

    RosesrReder replied to kaliRN's topic in Pediatric

    I'm concerned at the fact that she didn't at the very least apologize and act compassionate. Thank goodness they both were there for the same vaccines. Had I been that nurse, I would have apologized...
