  1. How do YOU handle these situations?

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Rehabilitation

    True. I shouldn't have made tylenol the issue, but rather, ask others opinions on if I should call for the change in condition at 6 or endorse it being so close to 7am. Granted, endorsing anything,...

  2. How do YOU handle these situations?

    SleeepyRN replied to SleeepyRN's topic in Rehabilitation

    I'm thinking more along the lines of what to do in the moment. I know a few reasons her temp might be up because I'm pretty familiar with her as a readmit. Im betting when I go back Friday, she will...

  10. School Reputation

    SleeepyRN replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes!!!! If you are applying to places where your program had clinicals, and your class leaves them with a good impression of the school, that's big. I've personally gotten jobs partly because I...

  11. School Reputation

    SleeepyRN replied to oldsockventriloquist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Besides obvious state accreditation, NLNAC accreditation (I've seen some employers require this accreditation of the applicant's school.) I graduated in May 2012, and we got accredited that...

  12. Ethical dilemma

    SleeepyRN replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    Then what are you expecting us to tell you? If it's just a vent, that's one thing. But you've gotten the advice we have. It's not the advice you want, but really? What else can we

  13. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    My mom has this weird thing that if you take the collar of your shirt and rub it on your teeth, she freaks! I have no idea how she learned this bothers her, cuz who randomly does that? So I do it to...

  14. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    When I was a little girl, I had a framed big picture of a clown that my grandma gave me. (My grandma was actually a professional clown! At her funeral, we had a clown cake lol) I painted on one of...

  15. MAR how should it read?

    SleeepyRN replied to newrnontheblock's topic in Patient Medications

    I wasn't quoting anyone specifically with that post. In writing, I can see it sounding condescending, which was absolutely not my intent. I was genuinely confused. I was too tired to think of a good...

  16. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    The nurses I know do not want the title nor the responsibility of a doctor. And undermining? Look at the one who is undermining titles. YOU are by saying CNAs should become nurses. If one wants to be...

  17. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    1st, none of us have the intension to create a devicive work environment. We simply don't want unlicensed assistive personnel portraying themselves as nurses for patient safety reasons, and personal...

  18. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    Did you ask it on fb? Would love to see her reply lol. I can just imagine putting on fb that I'm a doctor, and my entire family responding with a bunch of raised eyebrow emojis. I'm laughing just...

  19. MAR how should it read?

    SleeepyRN replied to newrnontheblock's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm not understanding the confusion as to how to enter the order. If every nurse gets on the same page with entering the order, then confusion greatly decreases. I will quote myself again. "The way...

  20. MAR how should it read?

    SleeepyRN replied to newrnontheblock's topic in Patient Medications

    This is exactly what my post stated: "The way we enter meds is like this: Ok, so we have an order for hydralazine 25 mg. When we enter it into the computer, we do NOT select "Hydralazine 25 mg,"...

  21. why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

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

    Thank you!!! This drives me up the wall! The majority of people think we are having "down time" or being lazy when we are sitting. There is SO MUCH behind the scenes computer and paperwork, phone...

  22. Least Favorite Things Patients Say

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

    I know it's been said dozens of times, but when you go to give meds or do a tx, and they say for whatever reason, "not right now." Not only did I waste my precious time getting everything prepared...

    SleeepyRN replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Students

    I wish I could click like 100 times!!! This single response says it all. What you said about body systems affecting each other for example: like with CHF. If you understand it, you understand why...

  24. Drug seekers

    SleeepyRN replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    After having had a kidney stone removed and a temporary stent inserted into my ureter, I was back in the ED with agonizing pain after the stent was removed. I felt the doctor and nurses believed I...

  25. Drug seekers

    SleeepyRN replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I want to clarify that I ONLY make a patient wait if there is a higher priority at the time, or if I am smack dab in the middle of something. Judgment aside on the true drug seekers. I give them their...
