  1. Proper MD orders

    quickkarma posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am interested in learning if other organizations operate this way. Nurses where I work are expected to read the notes that MDs write and then go about getting orders entered properly....

  2. Proper MD orders

    quickkarma replied to quickkarma's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the replies. I agree with it

  3. Proper MD orders

    quickkarma replied to quickkarma's topic in General Nursing

    REPLY: It is coming through nursing management/nurse educator. And I've tried to tell them this isn't acceptable. We cannot spend our time reading notes and getting things ordered by paging it out and...

  4. Proper MD orders

    quickkarma replied to quickkarma's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for replies. This sort of thing happens every day. It has been brought up to nursing management. They expect us to read notes and follow through by, basically doing the MD's job. And on...

  5. Questions for getting started in this specialty

    quickkarma posted a topic in Camp

    Hello! I'm curious how you all got started in camp nursing? Start in your own state? Part time Summer gig along side another job? Did you obtain licenses in other states? Insight into this? Is it...

  6. Questions for getting started in this specialty

    quickkarma replied to quickkarma's topic in Camp

    Thank you for your response-this is helpful information! I just started a new job as a licensed school nurse; coming in at the peak of covid has not been fun, but I love working with the kids. (I do...

  7. Peri-care without gloves?

    quickkarma replied to lightwing's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen it in home care. I sure do appreciate the perspective of our older nurses who have seen the changes in health care through the years! I would bring my own gloves for peri-care if none are...

  8. Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    quickkarma replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    ?After 18 years of experience, she has earned the right to use the word poop on Christmas Eve!? "Oh poop, I'm working another holiday away from my family." Like another said, if this manager has the...

  9. Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    quickkarma replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I remembered another: in mid 2020-at the heart of xxxx-show, I charted that a pt's sp cath output looked like a Tequila Sunrise in a bag. No one said anything to me. Chart what you see; chart what you...

  10. Writing “poop” is unprofessional?

    quickkarma replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I have been sick with a cold for 6 days. I am enjoying reading these posts! I was scolded once for documenting that a properly staffed shift would have prevented this fall. Oh man was the DON pissed....

  11. Switching from nurse to daycare teacher??

    quickkarma replied to NursePoopyPants's topic in General Nursing

    I just want to say that I understand, truly. I've been a nurse for 7 years. I am strangely burned out on caring. I just accepted a school nurse job & I hope it brings me more sanity. Have you...

  12. 150 bed facility-nurses answer all calls coming into facility

    quickkarma posted a topic in Rehabilitation

    I'm curious how many facilities out there have the nurses carry the cordless land-line phone and answer calls coming in during their entire shift through med pass, cares, etc. One can imagine how many...

  13. Anybody else dealing with pertussis?

    quickkarma replied to Kittery's topic in School

    Please explain this further. Otherwise, No. The non-seroconversion causes the infection, or the rate of that particular person's immune response causes this. NOTE: Pertussis IgM and IgA antibodies...

  14. Anybody else dealing with pertussis?

    quickkarma replied to Kittery's topic in School

    Exactly. But the same holds true. I believe TEACHING is part of the solution. Masks should be sent home with all new borns and parents should be told to wear one or ask people to wear one if they are...

  15. Anybody else dealing with pertussis?

    quickkarma replied to Kittery's topic in School

    This is a minor rant, some facts, and mostly on topic: I think it is important to remember Biology and immune response. Memory B cells live in the lymphatic system, and live a long time. Memory B...

  16. Is this a normal patient load for one nurse?

    quickkarma replied to Rivalicious's topic in General Nursing

    Well, interestingly, I logged in to ask a similar question. I think this job of yours sounds exhausting and sounds like a heavy load to me. I've got day shift 1:15 ratio, sub acute TCU where the cart...

  17. PDN and boundaries

    quickkarma posted a topic in Private Duty

    I am curious of others opinions on private duty nursing and the extensive boundary crossing that is seen in this type of setting. I've seen it all, gifts, vacationing together, planned lunches,...

  18. How old is too old to become a new RN?

    quickkarma replied to CathyH's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated 2 years ago and a fellow nursing peer was 57. She is working and making a nice salary with an ADN! She is only a few years younger than you-then by the time you would graduate. Yes, it...

  19. Job switch -Private duty to TCU and concerns

    quickkarma posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all: I am in the process of switching jobs to a Transitional care Unit after a couple of years working in private duty nursing. I have had non-nursing, fast paced jobs within facilities in...

  20. "Cell phone" vibration in your thigh?

    quickkarma replied to srercg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I think/believe this is the lymphatic system moving through and clearing debris. A good sweaty work out would probably resolve these strange vibrations. I practice yoga regularly-twists, compressions,...

  21. I Should Be in Jail

    quickkarma replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for this post. I usually just read, but I needed to thank you. I'm dealing with some situations right now and this article posted to my email at exactly when I needed to see
