  1. Co-workers begging for donated PTO

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

    Wow, I can't really picture a scenario where we could give up our sick or vacation time to someone else, never mind someone asking for it. We have short term disability where I work, it isn't...

  5. Suicide Risk Assessment

    CodeteamB replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    We don't have a formalized tool, and we certainly don't ask about suicidal ideation unless the patient is presenting with a mental health concern. Actually, once past triage our psych patients are...

  14. Shift Cancellations (Please HELP!!)

    CodeteamB replied to wenRN01's topic in Nursing Career

    Are these your regularly scheduled shifts that are being cancelled? If so, that's a giant load of BS. In my workplace you cannot be cancelled if it is your regularly scheduled day, only pickups and...

  15. Residents....

    CodeteamB replied to mwlude's topic in Emergency

    Coding pt, skeleton staff on nights, everyone in the room, one nurse doing compressions, one bagging, one watching helplessly, I call the code and page the resident (only 1 junior on call). He calls...

  16. Are you good at charting in "real time?"

    CodeteamB replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

  17. What does your username mean?

    CodeteamB replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    One night my friend and I were the backup code team (my department assigns 2 teams, second rarely gets called). Anyhow, that night we got called a lot, but for un-exciting stuff. Meanwhile the primary...

  18. FFP infusion

    CodeteamB replied to EmeryRN's topic in General Nursing

    OP, sounds like you did just fine. It is important to remember the indications for FFP. It makes no sense to run it slowly, you want to get it in so it can do its

  19. It was just one of those nights

    CodeteamB replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in Nursing Humor

    I got home from night shift once and my husband had not walked the dog, as he felt it would be easier for me to do it since I didn't "have anywhere to be." I am usually pretty even keel, but being...

  20. Nurses who believe in herbal nonsense, alternative medicine, anti vaccine etc

    CodeteamB replied to mhy12784's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just had a long discussion about this with one of the docs I work with. He has noticed many of his colleagues in family practice who have started offering alternative therapies in conjunction with...

  21. Are you good at charting in "real time?"

    CodeteamB replied to Ativan's topic in General Nursing

    I have always made real time charting a priority. As other have said, in the ER it is necessary to do this, as well as it fitting into the flow fairly well. When I worked on the floor I would do my...

  22. Migraine treatment in er

    CodeteamB replied to dsherman's topic in Emergency

    From what I understand, rebound headaches can be caused by any analgesic including Tylenol and Ibuprofen, it is more about the way they are used. So, you have a headache and take 1g Tylenol and 600...

  23. DNR status and therapeutic hypothermia

    CodeteamB replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, if we have circulation post arrest, let's do what we can at that point to promote higher function. Especially with TH, which is minimally invasive and easy to

  24. back pain

    CodeteamB replied to dsherman's topic in Emergency

    Is your chief resident perhaps trying to direct this patient to an appropriate level of care (which weekly ER visits and toradol shots is not)? Surely this patient would be better served by seeing a...

    CodeteamB replied to Mischa83's topic in Canada

    First, do whatever UNA tells you to, they will be your best friends and know best how to help in this situation. Next, the cat is out if the bag in regards to your diagnosis. Did you declare this on...
