  1. narrative documentation and use of "this nurse"

    SleeepyRN replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I definitely would not have worded it like that. The writer may be able to go back a year later and say, "yeah, I was talking about me." But progress notes are for others to get a clinical...

  2. Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    SleeepyRN replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That nurse absolutely did her job properly. Part of her job is prioritizing, deciding what needs to get done and when. It is absolutely the nurse's job and right to tell an assistant (respectfully) to...

  3. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    SleeepyRN replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    God forbid we want our message to be that we are talented, knowledgeable, life changing nurses who want to be viewed by society as such. The people IN society are our patients. I personally want my...

  4. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    SleeepyRN replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    YOU may not, but I am seeing thousands from social media unite after this. I don't understand why you sound offended. I'm happily uniting with other nurses, and discussions are developing over...

  5. An open letter to the #NursesUnite movement

    SleeepyRN replied to disillusionedrn's topic in General Nursing

    Very well worded. I love your post. However, my explanation for this talk show issue getting under my skin is this: The comments on the View are part of a larger picture going on where society views...

  6. What do you say?

    SleeepyRN replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    "Patient care! Please give us a moment!

  7. Picked on by resident

    SleeepyRN replied to imaLvn2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    The ignorance of the general population on what PRN means vs scheduled drives me up the wall. I have many scenarios such as yours where I bring their meds and they ask, "Where's my pain pill.' That...

  8. Cops and Nurses

    SleeepyRN replied to GundeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. Once when I was lost on my way to an interview so he let me go immediately. Another time I wasn't familiar with the area, and was running late, and thought the speed limit was 55. I was...

  9. Nurses don't know the lab

    SleeepyRN replied to ezpzpizzi's topic in General Nursing

    Your experiences seem to come from a few bad apples. I appreciate everything you do. So just know that while there are witchy nurses, there are many more on your side. We are

  10. in the wake of this tragedy do we really know our breaking point ?

    SleeepyRN replied to rudecat's topic in General Nursing

    All I can say is wow. I love my nieces and nephews, husband, siblings...more than I love myself. I do love myself. Within reason, I will go above and beyond for people. I'm learning to create a...

  11. Clinical mistake

    SleeepyRN replied to Babyd2013's topic in General Students

    I understand feeling the way you do. But it is a great learning experience. Not just with samples, but ALWAYS verifying name, DOB....for everything required to do so from now on. Med administration...

  12. Nurses behavior towards CNA's?

    SleeepyRN replied to x0xerika's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree completely ^^^ The nurse is the one who sees the big picture. (Overall health status) He/she then has to prioritize. It sounds like she really felt like she needed that BP from you while she...

  13. narrative documentation and use of "this nurse"

    SleeepyRN replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I hate hate hate "this nurse, this writer" and only use it when absolutely necessary. I'm not saying this is correct, but below is what "this writer" does lol. I have yet to have anyone tell me I...

  14. Work rules

    SleeepyRN replied to Dragonstrike's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I have no advice but understand your feelings about this. It is very different than working the floor in which you are constantly moving which makes it easier actually. But to be standing...

  15. narrative documentation and use of "this nurse"

    SleeepyRN replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking of doing the same. I'm glad you posted

  16. Tattoos and nursing

    SleeepyRN replied to Adamson94's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There have been threads about this before. To save time for yourself, I would utilize the search option and type in "tattoos" or something of the like. It should bring you to previous posts with a...

  17. Nurse Slang Yo!

    SleeepyRN replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. This

  18. Nurse Slang Yo!

    SleeepyRN replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    I viewed it differently. I looked at it like, the doctor was trying to make sure that she was not under treated for pain. Similar to certain cultures that do not admit to being in true pain. We have...

  19. Passion statement

    SleeepyRN replied to acantu67's topic in General Nursing

    Passion statement. Why oh why must a school perpetuate the myth that one must be passionate about nursing in order to be a

  21. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

  22. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

  23. Offer letter but no job???

    SleeepyRN replied to bbtt's topic in General Nursing

    How frustrating. I suppose 3 weeks is better than a few months of actually working there and then realizing they are a mess. Onward and upward. Or however that phrase goes. Good

  24. Medical Assistants in the office

    SleeepyRN replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    You were going beyond your scope of practice by stating the numbers could indicate pre-diabetes. Just because the doctor turned around and said the same thing, doesn't mean you were right in what you...

  25. Medical Assistants in the office

    SleeepyRN replied to SHELLYBELLYRN's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    Well said. I'd like to use this in response to a previous poster who stated she called a patient explaining that her BG readings were high, and that the doctor wanted to further assess the situation....
