    ER float nurses

    eatmysoxRN replied to kaylasmommy's topic in Emergency

    How is it a critical care float pool if the nurses are progressive care nurses? I'm confused. ~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent -Eleanor Roosevelt

    Hypoglycemic emergency protocols

    eatmysoxRN replied to ofcruz's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't know anyone who would have access to an ng tube but not to glucagon or an IV line to give d50. ~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent -Eleanor Roosevelt

    I can't use sick time I've earned??

    eatmysoxRN replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    I never get to accumulate PTO because I'm almost always called off atleast 1 day for low census and my PTO is used to cover it, even if I ask them not to use it and just not pay me. I have yet to have...

    Nurses calling out

    eatmysoxRN replied to WWTucker's topic in General Nursing

    Have you heard about the flu? Many hospitals have policies regarding employees coming in with the flu and I know where I am you cannot come to work with it. It's possible that many nurses have it. ~...

    Sleeping Nurse = No Agency?

    eatmysoxRN replied to HisTreasure's topic in Private Duty

    I'd be angry as well. I'd be fired on the spot for dozing off at work. I don't think you overreacted whatsoever ~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent -Eleanor Roosevelt

    Bedside Reporting

    eatmysoxRN replied to trottytotty90's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I dislike it. Have you searched for similar threads? I know I've read a lot of threads about it. There are benefits but overall I prefer getting report then making quick rounds with the other nurse to...

    How to Deal with the Chaos of Med/Surg

    eatmysoxRN replied to Pinky89's topic in Medical-Surgical

    1:4 sounds great! Still it is easy to get overwhelmed and fall behind. Are you delegating appropriately? I found that to be hard but it's all about teamwork. Ask the aid to take the low bs a snack....

    Not a nurse? Then, why does LPN stand for Licensed Practical Nurse?

    eatmysoxRN replied to tjmiller's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Although the practice in different facilities are different, LPNs play an essential role on my floor. Although we are able to function without one, they make the night much better. I'd never refer to...

    Help! I didn't make it out of orientation

    eatmysoxRN replied to Superstar1182's topic in General Nursing

    What'd you do that compromised patient safety? Are there other hospitals in your area? Have you considered moving? ~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent -Eleanor Roosevelt

    Is this really a med error?

    eatmysoxRN replied to gemini14's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't seem like a med error to me. Why should a faulty safe deem you worthy of incurring a med error, especially when you gave the clients the option of returning later? ~ No One Can Make You...

    Tattoos in healthcare

    eatmysoxRN replied to savoytruffle's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When people say this I truly don't understand. If my tattoos are the most worrisome part of my life in 20 years, I think I will be doing well. ~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent...

    What to expect in patient's "Progress Notes"?

    eatmysoxRN replied to nurs1ng's topic in General Nursing

    I usually glance at the progress note at shift start because it helps me to plan my care for the shift. If it is written to increase ambulation, I'll try to get the patient up to walk a bit. It's also...

    Too much info to remember / confusing patients with other patients

    eatmysoxRN replied to LaceyRN12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I stick post it notes on my report sheets and list new orders, abnormal labs.. Anything that happened that the next shift should be aware of. ~ No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent...

    Anxiety

    eatmysoxRN replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My employer requires employees to disclose any potentially mind altering prescriptions they take. I take lortab for pain and they haven't said anything about it. See your family physician about it. No...

    What the heck!

    eatmysoxRN replied to nurse4sale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think each place is different, but yes, courses do have an "expiration date." I would call around to different places and inquire as to whether your associates counts toward basic classes, even if...

    Pain meds and low BP?

    eatmysoxRN replied to fsh1986's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you spoke with 2 different doctors who both said to give it, I probably would. I would also ask them if I could start some fluids if her health permitted, just to keep her bp up some. Now I would...

    Angry Nurse here!

    eatmysoxRN replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's ridiculous that someone would do that! I would report it to my manager and his. I'd also mention that he should be required to purchase new tupperware for you. I'm lucky I eat weird food no one...

    Would appreciate any critiquing of my new grad resume!

    eatmysoxRN replied to NurseEricaB's topic in Nursing Career

    I do see a few places where commas shouldn't be. When using a conjunction (mostly I see you using a comma then "and"), be sure the phrase following it is a complete sentence. Otherwise you should...

    eatmysoxRN replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Next shift RN took over - help

    eatmysoxRN replied to Do_Good's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Did the nurse leave out something important that caused the orders to be inappropriate? If not, I don't understand why you are angry. I'd thank them for helping me out. ~ No One Can Make You Feel...
