    mediatix8 replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Did you try calling HR? That's who she told you to

  2. What To Do When Dating A Co-Worker

    mediatix8 replied to bobber's topic in General Nursing

    OK buddy. You just tell her that "someone was saying something" or whatever and that's the reason "we" (not just she) should try to not be too touchy/feely or whatever. See... not your fault. And not...

  3. New Grad RN as an RN supervisor?

    mediatix8 replied to cebuana_nurse's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would have a serious problem being supervised by a new graduate. I don't care if she used to be a supervisor for Burger King or whatever. She's not going to know what she is doing without any...

  4. Missed fingerstick

    mediatix8 replied to CC918's topic in General Nursing

    You should check it anyway, even if they have all ready eaten. If their insulin coverage is the same no matter what their bs is (eg 5 units novolog with meals), then I'd just check the sugar and give...

  5. Question about pts leaving AMA...

    mediatix8 replied to NBMom1225's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see why you can't advise them they they might want to contact their insurance company to update them that they are leaving AMA. I think this can be done in a noncoersive

  7. please help with my situation

    mediatix8 replied to shuubie's topic in General Nursing

    I would do it for at least a year and then you can always get another job somewhere else. It will be easier to find a job after you have a year experience. 1 year of your life will go by quickly and...

  9. Any others with latex allergies out there?

    mediatix8 replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    I am allergic to latex. The only thing with latex at my hospital are the STERILE gloves and the catheter part of the foley catheter kit (aren't supposed to touch that anyways). When I use the sterile...

  10. pt was very upset about fluid restrictions

    mediatix8 replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't go and get it for them, but if their family brings it in or they get it themselves out of the sink or whatever, then just document their refusal and your education. Just like if someone is...

  13. Critical thinking questions in job interviews

    mediatix8 replied to jla623's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience, they do not go into real detailed questions of how you would handle real specific situations. From my experience, they have asked real simple questions pretty much like the once...

  14. pt to per diem question about pto time

    mediatix8 replied to slideboard's topic in General Nursing

    When I changed status, they paid me for 100% of the vacation time I had accrued. I don't think it's fair that they only give you 50 cents on the dollar. You might as well have used all your vacation...

  15. Per diem in a hospital.. please help

    mediatix8 replied to samsam22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure there are exceptions, but most hospitals that I know of need extra help way more often than not. If you were hired to work on a particular unit and that unit doesn't need you for that day,...

  16. Question about CMA (Certified Medical Assistants)!!!!

    mediatix8 replied to GlaMoUr_GirL's topic in General Nursing

    I know it would be a real bummer to not attend school this August because you all ready had it in your mind that you were going to this medical assistant class. But what will be an even bigger bummer...

  17. legal paradox

    mediatix8 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know that we have the legal right to refuse to accept report. And I've heard that at least in Illinois, the hospital can't force mandatory overtime. So what happens if the shift that is following...

  18. April Fools- Admission slips

    mediatix8 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking about playing a fun joke this year on April Fools by making up some fake April Fools admission slips for the next oncomming shift. Where I work, when the supervisor calls us to give us...

    mediatix8 replied to mediatix8's topic in General Nursing

  21. Tech Refuses Patient

    mediatix8 replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    How do you know the tech isn't pregnant? I know for pregnant nurses we are very careful not to assign them any contact isolation patients. It's not too difficult to find a few clean people for nurses...

  22. Unit Secretaries

    mediatix8 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I saw another thread about unit secretaries and I have always wondered about how much they make. Does anyone know? I've been thinking about it because I think that you have to be real sharp to do that...

  23. Absolute Neutrophil Count

    mediatix8 posted a topic in General Nursing

    There are two different calculations for the ANC which are confusing me on what they mean by neutrophil. 1.) (WBC) (%Neut + %Bands) = ANC 2.) Sample calculation of the ANC: WBC count: 6,000 cells/mm3...
