  2. what's your pet peeve?

    SarahJ08 replied to chacha82's topic in General Nursing

    Coming out of a code and being reminded by a manager that I didn't update my white boards in all my patient's room. My jaw hit the floor, I then proceeded to pull out a marker, hand it to her and...

  3. didn't call about anticoagulation

    SarahJ08 replied to sweetstrwbrry1's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The nurse should have addressed this with you while you were giving report, they were way out of line to call you after report and clocked out. I would have been livid to receive a call like that,...

  4. Answering Call Lights

    SarahJ08 replied to Laurus Nobilis's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Lol I've worked in several hospitals where this was " implemented". It's dumb and doesn't work. If the non clinical person actually answers the call light all they say is "let me find your nurse"....

    SarahJ08 replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. Should we put up with verbally aggressive relatives ?

    SarahJ08 replied to Charlottemay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's unfortunate that undiluted phenergan was pushed obviously was a terrible error. But why would you come this forum and basically say that being a abusive family member is a promise? If you have...

    SarahJ08 replied to Momof8CNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Well sir, there is a difference between SCHEDULED medication and AS NEEDED pain medication. 9/10 the doctor is going to order it as needed, and some patients refuse to understand that. And it sounds...

  9. I can't WAIT to say "Oh, me, I'm a nurse"

    SarahJ08 replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sitting here on my lunch break wishing I had not gone into nursing. I also try to avoid telling people so they don't ask me health related questions. I've been a nurse for four year and I'm a...

  10. When a patient signs out AMA...

    SarahJ08 replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Terrible turn of events. But I don't thinks a patient in DKA would be well enough to save a drowning child. Or even really be present enough to focus. I don't want to sound cold hearted, but if she...

    SarahJ08 replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  14. Sad story of an ex-new grad nurse

    SarahJ08 replied to furelite's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would leave that hospital immediately. They were absolutely setting you up for failure. There is no way a new grad nurse can thrive on 5 weeks of orientation. That is less than what they orient...

  15. I was happy once. Then I became a nurse

    SarahJ08 replied to ebart03's topic in First Year After Licensure

    SarahJ08 replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

  17. Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    SarahJ08 replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    It was hard but I made sure that I had time for myself, so I didn't go crazy. Real life nursing is way

  18. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    SarahJ08 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    Hahahhahahahahhaaha this is adorable coming from a student nurse who literally has no clue. I wish I could be there to watch as the reality of what real nursing is comes to slap you in the

  20. Nurses: How many phone calls do you get per shift?!

    SarahJ08 replied to Cola89's topic in General Nursing

  21. Urgent! IV drip rate?

    SarahJ08 replied to ArceusAlpha's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This isn't going to help you on your test, but in real life, in all the hospitals I've worked at I've only seen 10 meq of k in 100 ml of ns to be run over one hour. The only other way I've seen iv k...

  23. Price of Patient Satisfaction

    SarahJ08 replied to knoxnurse236's topic in General Nursing

    We recently received complaints from family members that the patients weren't getting bathed for weeks at a time. Lie. So now our techs are required to do baths on the morning, as if day shift isn't...

    SarahJ08 replied to AcuteCare4Life's topic in General Nursing

  25. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    SarahJ08 replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    As many have previously stated, we don't get any extra compensation and just expected to teach the students when they show up to the floor. And then you have the ones that think they know more than...
