    Ours always have a small bubble that does not seem to be able to be expelled- no matter what. According to our director, the manufacturer says the dose is accurate despite the

    Tylenol ordered for pain.

    Pangea Reunited replied to gouranga's topic in Patient Medications

    Tylenol ordered for pain.

    Unit nurses...how do you feel about an outsider becoming manager?

    Pangea Reunited replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Internal is better if the person is fairly neutral and "plays well with others". Someone who's experienced a lot of conflict with co-workers would NOT be ideal,

    Patients allowed to go outside and smoke???

    Pangea Reunited replied to JackiRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They are allowed to smoke in some units at some times where I work. Employees who leave every 20 minutes to go smoke bother me more. At least I'm not expcted to take care of the patient's patients...

    Pangea Reunited replied to Photofosterrn's topic in General Nursing

    My first job was a "sink or swim" situation. Unfortunately, I learned a lot by doing things wrong and/or making people angry. As for time management, you've got to experiment and figure out what works...

    Calling yourself an RN

    Pangea Reunited replied to MadpeysRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most of these are "practicing" violations. A few say "using RN title", but give no context at all. What were the circumstances of your acquaintance? I would love to find one concrete example of...

    new RN frustration; med surg makes nurses become bitter people??

    Pangea Reunited replied to ChooSoul's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I like med/surg! I don't care for eight patients, though. The max at my current job is five, but having 7-8 for my first few working years taught me ALL about time
