  1. New york examination

    nynursey_ replied to Jandrox's topic in General Nursing

    Our ATT wait is quite lengthy. Hang in

  2. A coworker made me so mad!

    nynursey_ replied to typoagain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Have to agree here. Whether or not you can "cajole" (as a prior poster pointed out, though I disagree as this implies the patient has been persuaded) a patient into having labs drawn or an IV placed,...

  3. Nominate Your Favorite Nurse: #NURSESEARCH

    nynursey_ replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Katie Dukie, Nurse Eyeroll, and Nurse Mendoza have all asked their followers to nominate them. I think that pretty much ensures one of them will be taking home that

  4. Bedside Reporting

    nynursey_ replied to Bluebell.'s topic in General Nursing

    It remains an epic failure at my hospital.

  5. My rights after pt assault

    nynursey_ replied to RadioJenn's topic in General Nursing

    He sounds like a patient that has frequented my hospital. And so I'm not surprised. I'd call the police and ask them what your rights are. Regardless of whether this patient is under your care or not,...

  6. #nursesforgive

    nynursey_ replied to Nerd eNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The Golden Rule doesn't really seem to fit here. I think what you're reaching for is the "forgive and forget" adage. If anyone needs a lesson in The Golden Rule, it's the women of The View. That day,...

  7. Apologies for using the term "NETY"

    nynursey_ replied to Perisoreus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Funny thing is, before I had ever even joined this site, I had a CI who said this during lecture. It leads me to believe it's not just unique to the Internet. It's an urban nursing myth spread in...

  8. Frustrated getting back into the hospital

    nynursey_ replied to nurseklg's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like your resume needs a lot more beefing up. In the hospital setting, if it isn't recent experience, then you have to sell yourself hard. Best of

  9. Placed on administrative leave, reason unknown

    nynursey_ replied to TurtleN84's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect it depends on the state in which you're employed. If you work in a 'Right to Work' state, then your administrator can suspend you/fire you without any just cause. Just as you're entitled to...

  10. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    nynursey_ replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. To the point you made in your second paragraph regarding CIs not having an understanding of their role, I think utilizing the bedside RN as sort of "adjunct CI" if you will comes from the...

  11. Vent about toiletting patients

    nynursey_ replied to SleeepyRN's topic in General Nursing

    My philosophy is this: I can do a CNA/PCA's job, but they cannot do mine. If I have time to help out, I do. I never mind taking vitals, checking F/S, toileting patients, turning/repositioning, and...

  12. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I agree. And it isn't just the Katie/Kati's. It's expanding. NurseNacole. NurseMendoza. All names who I appreciated for their contribution to the nursing world, whether it be a quippy video about how...

  13. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ posted a topic in General Nursing

    I found myself so fond of Katie Duke in her NYER days. But her shameless self promotion to win Dr. Oz's nurse contest has really just turned me off. She and Kati Kleber have suddenly become the face...

  14. Do RNs get extra pay for working with students?

    nynursey_ replied to johndough's topic in General Nursing

    My facility works with some odd 10 or so different schools of nursing. As bedside RNs, we do not receive extra compensation for working with students, nor do we receive a differential for precepting...

  15. What to study now??

    nynursey_ replied to RN5348's topic in General Nursing

    Give yourself a little time to get accustomed to all of the things you'll be seeing in your facility. Jot down notes about procedures, disease processes, treatments, and tests frequently...

  16. Discharge Orders

    nynursey_ replied to sno963's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it depends where you're discharging this patient from and where they're being discharged to. For example, I work in acute care (hospital inpatient). When I receive a discharge order, the...

  17. Do you consider nursing a profession or occupation?

    nynursey_ replied to going4nursing's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it depends on the respective definitions of 'profession' and 'occupation', as they are terms that are clearly defined, and in comparison to nursing's educational requirements and job...

  18. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    And I fully believe this. I believe that both she and Katie Duke went in having a genuine interest in being an accurate face of nursing. But I'm not sure what happened along the way. Maybe it's the...

  19. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what my age has to do with it, but since you asked, I'll be 31 in exactly 2 weeks. If you read my prior post, I clarified my "in the dark" comment. I also followed it up with a genuine...

  20. Firearms

    nynursey_ replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    We can agree to disagree. But imagine if NO ONE had firearms. Would we have to fear much in the way of violence

  21. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Right! The sponsorships! It's frustrating. They're getting compensated for doing their job? Being the "public" faces of nursing but not really bringing the issues to

  22. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Nope. No NETY. I'm not that sensitive and that term clearly doesn't apply here. Again, I stand by my statement that in my follow-up posts, I adequately explained who they were. And it wasn't intended...

  23. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    The "in the dark comment" wasn't meant to be insulting, but I can see how it came across that way. My

  24. No Longer a Fan

    nynursey_ replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I enjoyed her response. But what she did beyond her taped response just isn't sitting well with me. She's proved she feels she's far beyond rules. Fired for violating her employer's social media...

  25. Patient fall without bed alarm

    nynursey_ replied to Texasnurse81's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure there's any legal leg. Falls can happen with or with bed alarms on regardless. How much injury to the patient? I went through something very similar and in the end the family accepted the...
