   My facility has started team nursing & I dont care for it. I am on a busy sugical/ortho floor. We have had meetings about team nursing and 10pts at one time is to be our max. Lately we have been going up to 12. I told the CNM it is way too much f...

2. 8 hr shifts vs. 12 hr shift

   RN2B07 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in Med-Surg

   Prior to nsg, I never worked more than 8 hr shifts. I was a little nervous at first, but they arent as bad as I had imagined. I love them and couldnt imagine going back to 8 hrs. Ironically 8 hr shifts seemed to drag more than 12. But I am not gonna ...

3. turn, cough and deep breathe

   RN2B07 posted a topic in Med-Surg

   On a post-surgical floor this is very important. I find many pts to be very sleepy and groogy after surgery. How can I effectively encourage this?

4. vanco po given im?

   RN2B07 replied to RN2B07's topic in General Nursing

   Let me clarify...original order was for po. Last post was correct because pt had recurring C-Diff infections. Thats why she was on po. The po vial is a powder mixed with sterile water...when mixed is clear. The MAR states for oral use only! I dont kn...

   RN2B07 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi I have been working with a LPN doing team nursing...I am worried because she told the charge RN that one of our pts gets vanco IM. She gives all injections and p.o. meds. Now the following day we had the same pt. group and a SN asked to give the v...

8. M/S 1st year--don't know if I can do this...........

   RN2B07 replied to EDGRADNURSE's topic in New Nurse

   First of all, you CAN do this. I have been working M/S for 6 months and it really does get better. I had a horrible preceptor and sounds like you do too. What really helped me was to make up a sheet that has all info about my pts. and tasks needing t...

   RN2B07 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Anyone trying team nursing? I am currently on a very busy med-surg ortho unit and my manager wants to try team nursing for more effective patient care. This consists of a RN/LPN team caring for about 10-12 pts. (usual load for RN is 6 pts.) Not sure ...

11. Allowing more than RN on name badge?

    RN2B07 replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with you on this one! I know I have BSN tacked on behind my name but it doesnt bother me that it isnt printed on my badge. Some pts. will ask and I can tell them. As long as RN is there, thats all I care about. Life is too short to be caught up i...

13. just a question

    RN2B07 replied to mystical_angel8's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospitals will hire you as a graduate nurse as long as you pln on working there after passing the NCLEX. You will make less than a RN but it is better than miminum wage. But that depends on the state. Look into that to get your foot in the door ...

14. Platelets

    RN2B07 replied to RN2B07's topic in New Nurse

    Just questioning whether a rough estimate of 6-10 units per bag sounded right. Not questioning the order. The next nurse came on and she said she would find out and start the transfusion. Then I was off, so I am not sure.

15. Is there any nursing job that'll make $30,000+/yr for the FIRST job?

    RN2B07 replied to Matt000's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is definitely something you MUST want within....you will get a wake up call if you are just doing it for the money. If you really want to be a nurse, then yes...it is very possible to make that amount. But you have to want it from within your...
