    I have a similar question. If the extended application deadline was August 1st, would they extend interviews too? I submitted my app on August 1st but haven’t heard anything. It also hasn’t been...

  4. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    002rn05 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is more than embarrassing.. I just cried at a staff meeting. I've been working 3rd shift on a very busy/heavy floor for over a year, and since that day have been severely understaffed with few...

  5. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A little delayed but I truly thank each of you for your input and support. I'm learning that my stubbornness for change and emotions (god forbid!) can help me gain support from my peers so that change...

  6. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you. After a little sleep and some reflection I think you're right..exp626. I shouldn't lower my standards of nursing because management like this. My patients ( and my sanity) shouldn't take...

  7. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just an additional side note, but falls are at a record high as well and on night shift alone we've averaged 7 transfers a month to the ICU or telemetry units which equates to about 50% of the total...

  8. I just cried.. In a staff meeting

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Patient satisfaction is down significantly (I want to say 15-20% lower than our hospital average) and our staff satisfaction results have not come back yet but the last round were the lowest they've...

  9. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    so, my pt suddenly developed chest pain, SOB, and extreme dizziness right at the start of shift and I immediately went to my charge to notify her that I'd be calling the MD. I received orders for a...

  10. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Again to be clear, my language was not clinical but what I was saying was the labs were cancelled by the MD when I notified him of the unsuccessful foot

  11. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Dansamy- I did. We had a foot draw order. I had notified the MD. And again to let him know we could not get the draw. Doc had no other suggestions and the trops went out the door when the EKG came...

  12. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Exactly on both comments above. My concern moving forward is this apparent communication issue and the fact that she was very unwilling to at least hear me out and I was trying (not as effectively as...

  13. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I took the order with the suggestion of a foot draw because he had been successful with them in the past. So I had an option. The problem is that the hospitalist, just like me, was obligated to follow...

  14. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree and unfortunately calling the specialist at 0100 was not an option so I really relied on the hospitalist's orders and the experience of my charge. When I found the order from the doc that...

  15. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I guess there are two issues here so maybe i should just focus on the one thats not policy related because that varies place to place. I'm just concerned for the future relationship between myself and...

  16. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm just confused because I did the right thing but it sounds like everyone would have drawn against the order and against hospital policy and that would be ok, no reprimand. What am I missing here...

  17. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    For a charge to demand a staff nurse to do something she won't do herself is insane in my opinion... And

  18. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think your missing the point. You can not draw from a midline. The French is to small and drawing from it causes hemolysis of the sample and makes it useless. Not only that but drawing from too...

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I had suggested that if she were comfortable drawing off the line that she could. She declined and that made me think if she weren't willing to take the chance, why was she willing to let

  21. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Not only that, but I infact had the MDs order NOT to draw from the line. Having gone against the order based in her decision would have landed me in hot

  22. Standing up to my charge nurse prevented a mistake

    002rn05 replied to 002rn05's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thanks for your response! I could use the line for fluids and to administer medications but our policy just won't allow draws from midlines. The EKG showed similar post MI changes to the previous EKG,...

  23. How many patients do you get on night duty?

    002rn05 replied to uniquegifts1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    6-7 and I work nights on an ortho floor, but we also get many post op spinal and Neuro patients. All those Q2h CSM, Neuro exams, and Prn pain meds makes for a very busy night. No one sleeps on my...
