    24hr shifts?

    RosesrReder replied to RiderRN81's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I personally love the 24's. I work ground ambulance mostly interfacilities. I am the only nurse on shift so am always open for calls from BLS, ALS and CCT. We usually stay busy but I find that...

    ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    RosesrReder replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    GM2RN, perhaps picking your battles wisely is a good idea. If you know you get the silly question if whether the pt has an IV quite often, then perhaps changing your report style to say "18g to R AC...

    ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    RosesrReder replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We can all sit here and argue until pigs flew, but the bottom line is that we are overloaded with way too many tasks, not enough help/support and anencephalic management/administrators for the most...

    ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    RosesrReder replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The last hospital I worked at went to no nurse report as well; however, a faxed face sheet with basic pt information were given to the admitting nurse. Didn't last very long due to many mistakes...

    RosesrReder replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes a break is a good thing and needed. I have been a member for quite a while (10 years!) myself and am gone for periods of time for all the above reasons. I hope she considers taking a break...

    Why Can't Spouses and Families Understand The NOC Schedule?

    RosesrReder replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    I literally gave up trying to explain or care. I finally went to two 24-hr shifts a week and off 5. My ex-husband never got it and needless to say, it didn't work

    RosesrReder replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Wow! I am a nurse just like you and somehow can't help to wonder what you would think of me, or the care you would render me if I should ever become your patient. Yep, in my hospital gown at my most...

    Occurence reporting to punish other nurses

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

    I don't know where you guys work but at my place, it takes an act of God and great lengthy troubles to submit an incident report. I don't bother unless they affect patient safety or are a huge near...

    RosesrReder replied to newrn2587's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    What did HR say? It sounds like they might be a little behind and busy getting the new unit rolling. Go in person to HR and get your answer. There is only so much the director can do. Much

    Should ICU get more pay than floor nursing?!?

    RosesrReder replied to francoml's topic in MICU, SICU

    Maybe you can help relieve the stress from some of those asked to pick up overtime each week, and pick some up yourself? Also, will give you a perspective of what other than passing meds they do....

    Am I the only one who hates 12 hour shifts?

    RosesrReder replied to jdubs99's topic in General Nursing

    I love 12's. I currently work nightshift and do NOT work them in a row. I find that I nap the night off and have a great night sleep with my family. It works for me. When I work dayshift I find on...

    Absolutely ridiculous... You can keep your 4 hours

    RosesrReder replied to HeartRN13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That seems to be the trend. I worked at a hospital that did just that. Sometimes called you for the last 2 hours of the shift. They would cancel you and place you "on call" and the entire day was...

    Charge nurse is just a literally getting the short end of the stick. Very little compensation, double the work and responsibility and someone to blame for all that could go wrong. At my last job,...

    Patient vs Client

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

    I will always use the word patient. To me, client is best reserved for business purposes or in the justice field. Although healthcare IS a business just like walmart, I refuse to use that...

    RosesrReder replied to NYNursingStudent's topic in Nursing Career

    RosesrReder replied to CPTjOYjOY's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Try Texas. There are some towns that although undesirable to live, will afford you the minimum experience required to get you back to California and into a job. I know a very new grad friendly place....
