  2. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    RNdynamic replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What the above says. Our manager has nurses from our unit who randomly audit our skin and restraint documentation. If you miss a q2h turn because you're too busy, you get in trouble if you leave it...

    RNdynamic replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    My program wants prescribes approval for benadryl and all otc meds in fact. They do test for antihistamines. What are you supposed to do if it's the weekend and you can't sleep because you're...

    RNdynamic replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't actually tell them you made stuff up. You just tell them it was true at the time you documented

    RNdynamic replied to herring_RN's topic in Nursing News

    The quotation I cites said the clot was due to bring excessively overweight. Whatever else contributed to it, her blood clotting up still isn't the fault of the

  6. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    RNdynamic replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Usually it doesn't catch up with anybody, because usually it isn't a big deal. I've known a ton of nurses who "write in" vital signs, restraint documentation, CIWA scores, pain scores, and other...

  7. Woman Died After Being Arrested fo Refusing to Leave Hospital

    RNdynamic replied to herring_RN's topic in Nursing News

    The police weren't the cause of her death, though. Her weight was. QUOTE: It's one thing to say the police were being overzealous or that the HCPs weren't paying attention, but you can't blame...

  8. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    RNdynamic replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    An in-law isn't a biological relative. Many people out there don't consider in-laws to be a part of their family. The woman who made the FB post is possibly overstating her relationship. It isn't as...

  9. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    RNdynamic replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not sure either why some people are trying to conceal the FB poster's identity by avoiding mention of her name or quoting her post. She put herself in the public eye. I wonder if it is because...

  11. Negative Post on Facebook About New Nurses - I'm Fired Up!

    RNdynamic replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also don't know why some people here want the FB post suppressed either. It doesn't violate the TOS or community guidelines, and the originator of the FB post put it out there in the public arena....

  12. Should we put up with verbally aggressive relatives ?

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

    If I run into verbally abusive family members, I tell them that I'll either come back into the room when they are in a better mood, or I will find someone else who would be willing to take the...

    RNdynamic replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Can someone PM me this post? Or tell me how to find this? This thread is difficult to follow without the source material. I don't know why it can't be posted here, given that it sounds as though...

  14. Can a Criminal History Stop Me from Being a Nurse?

    People shouldn't have to be haunted for life due to criminal

  15. Magnet Designation: What's the Attraction?

    RNdynamic replied to ElizabethStoneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hello nursing student. By glycerin control, I am going to assume you mean "glycemic control?" Who or what is the "ACA" conducting this research? What does the ACA stand for, other than "Affordable...

  16. Magnet Designation: What's the Attraction?

    RNdynamic replied to ElizabethStoneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious and true. When my hospital was trying to get redesignated for magnet, they had posters everywhere about shared governance, evidence based practice, and other such temporary shams that went...

  17. Magnet Designation: What's the Attraction?

    RNdynamic replied to ElizabethStoneRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. The OP is just an exercise in overthinking a whole lot of boo-hooray. I worked for a magnet hospital; it was the most corporate style, impersonal environment that I've worked in during my...

  18. List of programs for nurses who wish to become paramedics

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Many flight nursing services require RNs who are also licensed as paramedics. Creighton University in Nebraska is a 2 week program that allows RNs to transition to RN-Paramedics if they are ICU...

  19. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    RNdynamic posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am a male nurse on an inpatient unit in a hospital who began a couple months ago. Recently I used the bathroom in the staff lounge, and after I left to sit down at the nurses station, an older...

  20. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm quite sure that me education any woman on her toilet habits, could easily be construed as sexual harassment, given the natural bias in women's favor on that issue. So yes, reporting her to HR,...

  22. Is it just me, or is this rude, sexist, and condescending?

    RNdynamic replied to RNdynamic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's great. However, let's for example say that I were to correct some woman on the unit about her toilet etiquette, how much do you want to bet that she would be successful in reporting me for...

  23. Illegal immigrant nurses can now be licensed in California

    RNdynamic replied to Guest07/13/15's topic in Immigration Advice

    This bill is frightening. They already allow illegals in CA to obtain driver licenses. Good luck getting any money from them if they cause a motor vehicle accident, though. Chances are they are...

  25. Calling yourself an RN

    RNdynamic replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't help but agree. It is so stupid. Why pretend to be a nurse when you're a housekeeper?! What is the end goal?! It's so
