  1. Took my relative to the ED

    CodeteamB replied to CP2013's topic in Emergency

    Apologies! No negativity meant, I'm just a bit of an IV nerd so I get a little

  2. Took my relative to the ED

    CodeteamB replied to CP2013's topic in Emergency

  3. OMG Say it correctly!

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

    Perhaps, my sarcasm-in-print detector has failed me

  4. OMG Say it correctly!

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

    Sorry, but precordial is the correct term

  5. Jobs in calgary, ab...any to be had

    CodeteamB replied to courtney1987's topic in Canada

    Not to be a Debbie Downer here but ideas of working the rigs are just as unrealistic as finding your dream nursing job in Alberta right now. What is a chemist qualified to do on the rigs? Labour......

  6. Without Orders

    CodeteamB replied to Apollo8933's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, let's turn it around! What are some things you would do without

  7. I still don't understand why a hospital would hire cna's, or techs but not lpn's

    CodeteamB replied to Destiny'skid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. Took my relative to the ED

    CodeteamB replied to CP2013's topic in Emergency

  9. Can I get fired from signing the MARS a night before my next shift

    CodeteamB replied to pinkdustmagic28's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Ok, I am ignorant having never worked LTC but I'm having a hard time understanding how this saved time...

  10. Can't stop dreaming about work...when will it end??

    CodeteamB replied to julz68's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ahhh, the new nurse stress dream! I had those for a long time. Mine was always that I had 7 patients, And they were in a grocery store, like one in the bakery, one in the produce aisle etc. It was...

  11. omg! Bad day! Failed my AcLS recert....

    CodeteamB replied to jalws's topic in Emergency

    They didn't give you a second chance? My first time the instructor told us almost everyone (her included) needs their second mega code to pass. Maybe they are harder in recerts, regardless, that...

  12. Why can't nurses intubate?

    CodeteamB replied to natnat122's topic in Emergency

    We can place IOs, but so can the residents, new attendings and paramedics so there are a lot of people who want to do it to relatively few

  13. define break...lol

    CodeteamB replied to lkulmann's topic in General Nursing

    My goodness! That is insane. I may complain but I take my breaks and if I don't my employer pays me the break time at OT rates. We also have no limitations on when we can go, each nurse has an...

  14. Without Orders

    CodeteamB replied to Apollo8933's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that we need to help our patients. By protocol I can slap as much O2 as I feel necessary on my patient, start as many IVs as I need, order most labs, hang normal saline to bolus or KVO,...

  15. Took my relative to the ED

    CodeteamB replied to CP2013's topic in Emergency

    I'm glad you had a good experience. This thread made me smile! It's a great feeling when you get warned within an inch of your life about poking and then slide one in like it's nothing. Luckily I have...

  16. define break...lol

    CodeteamB replied to lkulmann's topic in General Nursing

    The time when I can groan "I'm on my -insert profanity- break! What can't wait another 6 minutes!" When I am

  17. Without Orders

    CodeteamB replied to Apollo8933's topic in General Nursing

    This is a rather curious thread. The majority of RN independent practice is with nursing diagnoses and the implementation of the same. I can assess a patient with say, atelectasis, and implement a...

  18. Do doctors have any idea what we nurses do? lol

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

    Lol, mine wrote me a prescription for "light duties, no lifting". My manager and I had a good chuckle over that

  19. Why do I feel like an outsider?

    CodeteamB replied to GGirll22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's hard. The night staff at my last job was probably 75% Filipino. While report and patient care was always in English, casual conversation / socialization was primarily in Tagalog. This can...

  20. day/night rotations

    CodeteamB replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Really? You don't rotate at all? I don't think I would like that, I like rotating through, variety being the spice and all. For me, night shift diff is about 13%. It's a flat rate so the more you make...

  21. day/night rotations

    CodeteamB replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    She may have been specifically referring to the 2wks days/ 2 was nights rotation, which btw many people work (and love) here as well. Say what you like about it, it's better than the fireman's...

  22. What would YOU do?

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

    Duplicate post, sorry

  23. What would YOU do?

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

    Avoid sharing her

  24. What is the correct title?

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

    In my facility patients are called by their first name, unless requested otherwise. When referring to a physician in front of a patient or paging overhead I use "Dr. Schmo" but best believe I'm going...

  25. What is the correct title?

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

    Call me B, that's totally ok, and I'll call you by your first name too. If you feel awkward about this a good way might be to introduce yourself "hi! I'm (insert first name)" just as you would out in...
