    Nurse_Lily replied to sergioray's topic in Legal

  2. Making the switch

    Nurse_Lily posted a topic in Critical Care

    I currently work part-time for a level I trauma center in the neuro ICU night shift. I just recently accepted a day shift job at another facility, which is a stroke center, but mostly a medical ICU,...

  3. Making the switch

    Nurse_Lily replied to Nurse_Lily's topic in Critical Care

    Hey Gromit! Thank you for the insight. I'm pretty much preparing to feel like a new grad all over again. Appreciate the reply

  4. Olive View - UCLA RN I/Relief Nurse

    Nurse_Lily replied to iamalagirl's topic in California Nursing

    Hello! Call the main line and ask for the number to Nurse Recruitment/Retention office and then ask to be transferred. HR just processes new hires and deals with the paperwork, so they would not be...

    Nurse_Lily replied to NCC_RN's topic in Neuro Intensive Care, ICU

    In our neuro ICU, our visitation policy is as follows: 24 hour visitation policy. 2 visitors per patient every 10 minutes (meaning they can switch out that often) No visitors allowed during change of...

  6. ICU Question about central line infection control

    Nurse_Lily replied to Benj2610's topic in Critical Care

    In our mainly Neuro ICU, we definitely have patients who stay long. RN's will do the dressing change on triple lumen IJs and Femorals q7 days or PRN (when visibly soiled or no longer intact). We also...

  8. Linguistic Pet Peeves

    Nurse_Lily replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    How has no one mentioned the informal use of "am" as a stand-in/shortened version of the contraction, "I'm." It's mostly used in written form, but I first started seeing it in high school when my...

  9. This is why I love my job...

    Nurse_Lily replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    I love reading the school nurses forum! I want to be one, one day. When I'm over bedside

  10. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    Nurse_Lily replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll save my comments regarding the post itself because it really makes me mad even thinking about the content, the delivery, and the praise for the rant posted. I wanted to to post a link to a story...

  11. Comfortable shoes?

    Nurse_Lily replied to Chickie77's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I hate clogs. I feel like I would roll an ankle walking in those. I like NB. Used up a pair recently. I switched to Nike walking shoes and they're a dream! My feet are no longer

  12. Embracing Night Shift

    Nurse_Lily replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    LOVE LOVE LOVE. All of the above. I, too, have a baby. 8 month old precious minion. I am 0.6 so I work three 8's, but transferring to ICU next month. I am a zombie most days, but I love spending time...

  13. Orientation + OT

    Nurse_Lily posted a topic in General Nursing

    Just recently, I was informed by a co-worker that my manager had stated that an orientee (new hire) is not allowed to take OT pay. They need to arrive on time and leave on time, even if it means...

  14. Orientation + OT

    Nurse_Lily replied to Nurse_Lily's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry. I'd like to clarify. I think the ER nurse might have dropped the ball in informing the MD of the latest Hgb. The first two units of PRBCs had been given and the post-transfusion CBC was drawn...

  15. Orientation + OT

    Nurse_Lily replied to Nurse_Lily's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that would have been possible since the pt arrived at 0650. She would be paid the 30 minutes extra as time-and-a-half. Obviously, because she worked during that extra time. I guess it...

  16. Orientation + OT

    Nurse_Lily replied to Nurse_Lily's topic in General Nursing

    My thinking as well with the ER. I also think they dropped the ball on reporting that Hgb to the MD. But that's beside the point. I took primed the blood tubing, took initial vitals and double checked...

  18. When we become the patient

    Nurse_Lily replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I've had two inpatient experiences, one was labor and delivery, the other was an ER experience that turned into being admitted. My L&D experience was so amazing. They did not treat me like I knew...

  19. What grinds your gears about your coworkers?

    Nurse_Lily posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I absolutely HATE it when a pt is NPO and my coworkers document "0" as the oral intake labeled "NPO". Seriously? Just unnecessary. What grinds your

  20. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    Nurse_Lily replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    "Nephro" instead of Nepro when referring to the tube feeding! I hope I didn't

  21. FINALLY!

    Nurse_Lily posted a topic in Critical Care

    I've been accepted to the ICU! I am currently an RN with two years experience in a med-surg stepdown unit. I'm beyond excited, scared and nervous! I've been lurking this board so I've written down...

  22. Why I Love IV Nurses

    Nurse_Lily replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Love my night shift IV nurses! I always try twice and then call them if I can't. I've had a nurse try to stick me 3 times when I was feverish, hypotensive and dehydrated. It just wasn't pleasant. Let...

  23. FINALLY!

    Nurse_Lily replied to Nurse_Lily's topic in Critical Care

    I didn't even think about a new stethoscope! Thanks again! Great

  24. FINALLY!

    Nurse_Lily replied to Nurse_Lily's topic in Critical Care

    Oooh how exciting!!! I'm told it's only 6-8 weeks on orientation. No classes beforehand. Our manager would rather us take those classes after we've had hands-on
