    CVICU interview questions

    remotefuse replied to appleandoranges2's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    It's hard to believe that no one has EVER had any type of conflict at work. A simple one I can think of that didn't really seem like a big deal include nurse who was consistently 30+ min late to...

    Sitter Roles Defined

    remotefuse replied to chanprit's topic in General Nursing

    This is very similar to my facility as well. The if the sitter is not a CNA they will not touch the patient which can get pretty annoying. At least with a CNA sitter, they will take them to the...

    Some interactions are just plain odd. What's one that will stay with you forever? Mines is I had a 34 y/o female pt. She would always put her light on to tell us that she had just used her diaper....

    How much detail do you give when calling in sick?

    remotefuse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Last week I had to call in sick for a very personal situation. I feel comfortable sharing online since it is anonymous. But occasionally I have severe spasms in very delicate areas. They stared...

    How often do you work without a TECH?

    remotefuse posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious as to whether working without a tech/CNA/UC, or another type of support staff is a common thing. I work on a very busy med/surg floor, and I understand that there are units with no...

    Not the type of know it all I mean. You just couldn't teach this particular student anything. He had never worked in healthcare and just believed everything he read on the internet. Like he was trying...

    Do you recommend Hurst Review for Nursing Students

    remotefuse replied to IM2bRN1's topic in General Students

    It won't make much sense until you're done with school. It's pretty much a book that you fill in the blanks, and at our review our group was able to answer 90% of the questions with the facilitator...

    Sounds to me that you are nit-picking. Some of these things may need attention, but I think it's important to realize there is the nursing school world and the real world. Like the dressing change on...

    No, it wasn't life threatening. But pulling on the sore itself can disrupt the healing process. Plus if it's a patient that you're not familiar with, you don't know what is there. If there are...
