  1. Hospital Clinicals

    A lot of nursing you learn actually doing it. It'll be good for your classes to correlate what you are doing at clinical with what you are

  2. Missing narcotics

    chrisrn24 replied to jeremyrachp88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  5. Death Notification

    chrisrn24 replied to guest042302019's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In LTC most people, from my experience, are somewhat expecting your call. Its not like a 30 year old dad of two kids died, its typically a. 93 year old grandma of 20. That said, my "script" is...

  8. How to get Pediatrician to let me Volunteer/Shadow?

    chrisrn24 replied to Amber307's topic in Pediatric

    I wouldn't say "volunteer." Most people will be able to discern that you don't care about volunteering but rather want to see what it's like...which is fine and dandy but call it what it really is....

  15. Food police?

    chrisrn24 replied to mschelee's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    This. It's one thing if they do it but don't aide in it. There are exceptions. I think it was Esme who told a great story about bringing a dying woman pizza and beer into the ICU. It's a good

  24. Constant Vein Blowing?

    chrisrn24 replied to JVoEDrn's topic in General Nursing

    If he's just choosing that for his own good and he doesn't mind all the pokes then its his problem. But if he minds the pokes, explain that most people can get their vitamins and minerals naturally...
