  1. New CNA needs to be fired, but is union.

    CodeteamB replied to CaitlynRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am in a union, and it has a reputation for being very strong, and going to bat for employees. If I were behaving in the fashion described I have no doubt that my employer would discipline me in a...

  2. calling into work sick and feeling very guilty

    CodeteamB replied to chellemaree88's topic in General Nursing

    From other posts I would say hherrn has a highly developed (and often hilarious) sense of sarcasm. Just

  3. New CNA needs to be fired, but is union.

    CodeteamB replied to CaitlynRNBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sweet Rainbow Sprinkles. If this person is behaving as you describe and your manager can't do anything about it then y'all have the world's best and scariest union in the mix. If, as I suspect, your...

  6. Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    You

  7. I'm a procrastinator... Help?

    CodeteamB replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    OK. Former procrastinator here. If you can make a really good schedule and keep to it you will be less stressed out and you really will perform better. You may work well under pressure, but what...

  8. Theme song to your Nursing career?

    CodeteamB replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Katrina and the Waves! It's my go-to karaoke

  9. Theme song to your Nursing career?

    CodeteamB replied to sMoLsNurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Nice!

  10. No cardioversion due to risk of embolism?

    CodeteamB replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    This is why I was thinking that the initial dose of adenosine was more of a diagnostic tool than an attempt at cardioversion. I have seen 6 of adenosine given with the intention of slowing down the...

  11. My Bad.

    CodeteamB replied to CodeteamB's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! The label thing is important too! In this case the med was labeled appropriately, and I do truly trust the Nurse who drew it up/asked me to give it, but that's the point. We can all mess up...

  12. No cardioversion due to risk of embolism?

    CodeteamB replied to thelema13's topic in Emergency

    I have several questions. Was the adenosine being used in an attempt to cardiovert or was it diagnostic (I'm figuring the latter since only one dose of 6 was given). If this was the case it makes more...

  13. calling into work sick and feeling very guilty

    CodeteamB replied to chellemaree88's topic in General Nursing

    Dude. Think of it this way. Pretend you are the patient lying in that bed, do you really want a sleep deprived nurse who is distracted by her sore junk and needs to run to the bathroom q15 minutes?...

  14. Tattle Tale?

    CodeteamB replied to andsoitis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's how I see it. 1- a serious error was made, this needs to be addressed 2- I assume that the fact that a heparin gtt was delayed for hours ( the RN's whole shift from the sound of it) was...

  15. Narcotics ..so I got put on unpaid administrative leave today

    CodeteamB replied to jbecerra's topic in General Nursing

  16. What does it cost to renew your license?

    CodeteamB replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    It appears that we pay a lot more for registration here in Canada than in the US, but (with the exception of BC and Quebec) registration includes coverage by the CNPS, so perhaps this evens things out...

  17. I Ask For "Nothing".

    CodeteamB replied to CheesePotato's topic in General Nursing

    Right

  18. Losing respect for nursing students

    CodeteamB replied to kjnsweets's topic in General Nursing

    Meh. As a student I once had an RN ask me "well, what good are you then?" when I told her I would not be able to complete a task as it was scheduled for after I had to leave the floor for conference....

  19. IV "wide open" ??

    CodeteamB replied to sassyann8585's topic in General Nursing

    We use pressure bags all the time (although we rarely use IVs less than 20g). In my experience it does not make an IV any more likely to infiltrate or blow. If 18 g can handle the level 1 infuser...

  20. Parents!!!

    CodeteamB replied to daviex's topic in Emergency

    Oh, I had a good one last night. Probably the most difficult parent (or any family member) I have ever dealt with. The "child" in question was 20 years

  21. Picc Line Question

    CodeteamB replied to sophtheorn's topic in General Nursing

  22. Is there any truth to this?

    CodeteamB replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lol, it would help me, I don't know what any of these numbers mean... (Too lazy to look it up or a do the ridiculous

  23. Is there any truth to this?

    CodeteamB replied to Nurse SMS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope, no truth! However, watch out for the septic elderly person with a LOW temp. That one can happen. I generally will not let this one go. Time for some pt education! I get people with "special"...

  24. Unpaid training (or: being a team player but not on our dime)

    CodeteamB replied to flyingchange's topic in Canada

    Wow, there must be some favoritism towards certain units as I have never been denied my PD pay, nor have I heard of this from any of my co-workers. Really, it is the least they can do. It used to be...

  25. WE WON! Let us know if you do.

    CodeteamB replied to JDougRN's topic in Emergency

    54 beds, inner city. I will have to live vicariously through others! Congrats on the big
