  2. Calling In Scripts

    Mulan replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of that. All I'm familiar with is the patient being given hand written scripts (written by the doc) that they then have to take to a pharmacy to be filled. Where I am now has this med...

  3. No Charge Nurse?

    Mulan replied to ~nurselissa~'s topic in General Nursing

    Well if you're on a small unit that only has one RN and one LPN, and no charge nurse, then you're it. Good

  4. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Not bitter and not pissed off as you say, and I don't think you're trying to answer the question the OP had, it seems like you're trying to argue with me about no meal break and not going to the...

  6. Heparin IV administration

    Mulan replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this is the case, but years ago a mainline was hung (with certain meds) in case you had to shut the med off in a hurry, you just stopped the med and ran the mainline, it was a matter...

  7. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I still say it's not about taking a break or going to the bathroom, it's about the working conditions, the understaffing and the poor nurse to patient ratios, it has nothing to do with going to the...

  8. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that's my opinion! Eating on the fly or while you're doing your charting sounds good, however we are not allowed to eat or drink in the nurses station and will be written up for it. I think...

  13. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Add to that, the fact that most of these hospitals, probably all, are run by businessmen and they are in the business of making money and making a profit. Labor is the biggest cost, so where are they...

  14. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We work 8 1/2 hours, get paid for 8, the only problem is there is no one to cover for the breaks. I think California is the only state that has mandated nurse patient ratios, that leaves 49 states...

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    No comparison! If you have not worked on a medsurg floor as an RN then you do NOT know what we are talking about, and you are in no position to offer

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    No one is going to do the work while I am gone if I insist on taking and do take a lunch break, and then the work is that much further behind and I am that much later getting out, no thanks. Show me...

  18. CONTINUED IN WHAT IS THE MAJOR REASON Why are they all leaving?

    Mulan replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Well, when you don't even have time to use the bathroom and you have to stay 2 hours over to get your work and charting done as recently happened to me on an evening shift, does that tell you...

    Mulan replied to DISCONTENTNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    Does your husband have health insurance that would cover you? If so, try working prn, then you could work as much or as little as you could

    Mulan replied to cleo's topic in Nurse Management

    Yea, what is that about? New hospital job, about 10 colors are allowed and that's all I've heard so far, discussion about colors and people not wearing the right color. Don't know if it's about...
