1. Peds Stethoscope or not?

   MissJoRN replied to RNinJune2007's topic in Pediatric

   I can't live without my peds scope. I don't like assessing a small child with an adult scope. As the PP said, it can cover the whole chest, also, I don't think you get good contact due to the...

2. Pt beds in the hallway

   MissJoRN replied to Nurse1966's topic in General Nursing

   Picturing myself wheeling a guy who happens to be sitting on the commode (with his hairy butt sticking out) down the hall to store him in a closet until the fire alarm is over... Seriously, no. Not...

3. Help!! Maternity scrubs?? Are they necessary?

   MissJoRN replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

   Unless Mom is on bedrest there's no reason she can't work if she wants to. As I hinted, I worked on my due date (Silently grumbling everytime I heard the lullaby played on the intercom for other...

5. Help!! Maternity scrubs?? Are they necessary?

   MissJoRN replied to RNin2007's topic in General Nursing

   I lost my first post. The summary- Maybe it was just the way my baby was positioned but I needed elastic. In the OR, I either wore a BellaBand over bigger pants or looped an elastic band around my...

6. What is different about peds? How to adjust to each unit?

   MissJoRN replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

   Our meds are seperate but we keep pretty much back-up stock. Not nearly as much as Mat though where most pts get the same meds. Not only is everyone on different meds for a variety of dx, the dose...

7. Non-Nurses calling themselves a Nurse

   MissJoRN replied to sarajasmine's topic in General Nursing

   Where ever I've done private duty in PA schools they are "Health aides" or "Health room techs" Actually, even RNs cannot be called "School Nurse" unless they are cetified, here. The complete opposite...

8. Strange S.O.

   MissJoRN replied to joeb1's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Ugghhh, I don't know why but I got an abusive vibe just from the way he first spoke to you. I'm sure he's hate for his wife to find out that there might be nice men in the world. I think Dayray has...

9. Change in IV Phenergan Policy

   MissJoRN replied to RNKPCE's topic in Patient Medications

   Our hospital changed policy- we're not giving it any more at all. If they do want you to give a 15 min push- can they get a few bard pumps for you? Our hospital only had them for peds but I used...

11. license to breed

    MissJoRN replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Emergency

    Don't think that didn't cross my mind, that's part of my reason for saying "assuming". The story is most memorable to me, the other details, not so much. I seem to remember this kid not being a...

12. New Grad interested in Peds - NJ/PA area

    MissJoRN replied to RedHead23's topic in Pediatric

    I assume you're looking at St Chris's, too? I've had homecare pts and family at St Chris's, CHOP, and DuPont and I prefer St Chris. I ran into an aquaintance there one day and found out she works...

13. observers/students and pt rights

    MissJoRN replied to MissJoRN's topic in Operating Room

    Unfortunately common courtesy may be as common as commen sense. That's why we need policy committees and I'll be bringing this issue up with ours. Typically, out of common courtesy, we do introduce...

15. observers/students and pt rights

    MissJoRN posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm interested to hear how everybody handles all those extra people in the OR. When a pt is in any other hospital dept they meet everybody involved in their care- students, interns, job shadowers,...
