    Noise level at night

    BSNbeauty replied to NoonsRN's topic in General Nursing

    And the sick ICU patients care because??? I understand nurses are human. However, I still don't think it is appropriate to be talking at the top of your voice at night. I've seen ICU psychosis due to...

    Noise level at night

    BSNbeauty replied to NoonsRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally dislike when co-workers at talking extremely loud at the nursing station at night. I don't even like it during the day. There is enough noise in the hospital, we don't need the additional...

    Its really NOT a fate worse then death

    BSNbeauty replied to KRSLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Reading this makes me want to go back to LTC. I miss the relationships I built with residents and family members. Eight hours really does go by fast. And I'll get paid

    Stop complaining about your job - It could be worse.

    BSNbeauty replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Its really NOT a fate worse then death

    BSNbeauty replied to KRSLPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I've worked in ER, CVICU, School health and LTC. I've never felt more like a real nurse than I did when working in LTC. In the hospital, a patient codes and you have your beautiful code cart and...

    "Difficult" Patients

    BSNbeauty replied to Vespertinas's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OP you are doing what we should ALL be doing as nurses. I do the same things you mention and don't have an issue. Sometimes, I had the opposite happen, where patient was being difficult for me and no...

    New RN - what would you do?

    BSNbeauty replied to knitnurse72's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I've never called scripts in when I worked in sub acute. The NPs and Docs filled out the prescription order form with their DEA#, signature and etc. Nurses simply faxed them

    Surgery floor nurses

    BSNbeauty replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    I've been on both sides of the fence. If I'm in the ED and I can wait to transfer after shift change I will, and most times I did this. I know what it is like to get a patient during shift change on...

    Disagreement with medical director over wound staging

    BSNbeauty replied to savoytruffle's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Staging wounds can be very subjective. I've disagreed with other nurses and docs when staging as will. I can see why the doc says it is unstageable. I was always taught that if there is any slough in...
