  1. Pet Peeve

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I too was a sitter. It WAS exhausting work, because as you stated, I helped to keep from having the nurse come in in the first place. I did so by exactly as you stated. I was creative with ways to...

  2. Pet Peeve

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Patient Medications

    By "love" I mean "respect and greatly appreciate them" I didn't want all CNAs on the board to start something. Disclaimers can prevent bickering. I get your point about being assertive. The new place...

    SleeepyRN replied to Doll Head's topic in Patient Medications

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

  10. Accused of withholding pain medication

    SleeepyRN replied to trucol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I realize only a couple hours had passed since you gave him the Lortab, but as long as its been 6 hours since he got his demerol (the order was demerol prn q6)... then I would by all means give it. It...

  11. Growing Up Unvaccinated

    SleeepyRN replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ughhh Mother in laws. This is YOUR child. I tend to notice that people who are against vaccinations don't listen to a word of someone trying to advocate it. Their minds are settled no matter what...

  15. Written warning for a care plan written prior to my employment

    SleeepyRN replied to LTCNS's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just FYI, signing does not mean you agree to an error, it simply acknowledges that you received the warning. I signed a warning in nursing school while adding a notation that the accusation was...

  16. Do med errors = bad nurse ?

    SleeepyRN replied to Hibbzem17's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Please please read the recent article on mistakes. You're having doubts because of Colace? Holy Moly, I wouldn't give that more than 2 soconds of thought. A quick "oops, gotta be more careful, moving...

    SleeepyRN replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    Can you say you were taking your legally entitled break? I don't know. At this point you already admitted wrongdoing by strongly apologizing. If you could turn back time, Id say I was taking my break...

  22. Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    SleeepyRN replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    That to me shows a lack of respect and knowledge of what a nurse is and does by that doctor. Years ago, I was moving into my then boyfriend's apartment he shared with his brother and his fiance. My bf...

  23. Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    SleeepyRN replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only 2 years out of nursing school myself. I have had both great and negative eperiences with coworkers. Some love to teach and take you under their wing. Some just like to be in their own misery...
