    vera4130 replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Could someone post the link to the website search engine? I can't figure out how to include just 3 databases which makes me wonder if I'm doing it wrong. This is what I'm using:...

    vera4130 replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Good participation from two, the other two not so much. I ended up redoing a lot of work but fortunately one other member split a lot with me. It's not as bad as it looked, but it's not going to be a...

    What are we supposed to do if people don't participate? What happens if they submit something last minute, too late for any critiques or revisions? What if they're told they need to revise and don't?...

    vera4130 replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I wish! I'm in Texas. I'm in Goad's group apparently but still haven't heard from them. Considering this is my only day off until Saturday, I'm pretty upset. The emails this morning were poorly...

  13. Need help with a very timid child

    vera4130 replied to PerfectlyPlump's topic in Private Duty

    If the above suggestions don't work, I would see if there is a nearby pedi hospital with Child Life Specialists who might be willing to give you a few suggestions. Those people are brilliant. I had a...

  14. Ideas for small gift(s) for unit staff?

    vera4130 replied to _Kaneohe's topic in General Nursing

    Pens, little sharpies you can put on your badge, badge holders I'm sure there are little things like that that you could get a few of each and put them in a basket. You might check out a uniform store...

  15. How to not feel embarrassed or dumb when you dont know a skill?

    vera4130 replied to HeatherGurl84's topic in First Year After Licensure

    There is NO SHAME in asking for help or guidance. It is better to say 'I don't know,' than be too proud or embarrassed and put a patient at risk. If you are primarily worried about skills, watch...

  16. Family claims hospital's staff shortage responsible for fatal crash

    vera4130 replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I chose to be a nurse, I have nothing to do with staffing. One hospital I've worked at was always short staffed, and if there was an open nurse, they sent someone home. Nevermind we might get...

  17. Rude/ Inconsiderate nurses during clinicals

    vera4130 replied to Nonetheless's topic in General Students

    I actually don't let anyone else do my blood sugars anymore. One of the best CNAs I've ever worked with took one for me once, and I'm positive he did it correctly, the one he got was 380s. I had a...

  18. Rude/ Inconsiderate nurses during clinicals

    vera4130 replied to Nonetheless's topic in General Students

    You have no idea why she didn't want you in that room, but you aren't entitled to see every patient. That patient could have some difficult family dynamics going on, or it could be an issue where...

    vera4130 replied to tulip5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm on the other side of it, so to say. And it may not be a popular opinion but... I am in my 20s, am of normal weight, eat well, exercise, have excellent lab numbers, etc. My husband... 8-9% body...

  20. Does the Clinical Ladder violate Labor Laws?

    vera4130 replied to Valerius's topic in MICU, SICU

    At my hospital, our nurses who are RN IIIs ARE expected to take harder patients and precept. There is a very specific list of qualifications to be an RN I, II, III, IV, and V - you have to resubmit...

  21. There's nothing worse than a FAT nurse!

    vera4130 replied to Darkstar1485's topic in General Students

    You know what I would prefer to see? A work environment that supports health. A gym for employees, and reasonably priced, GOOD tasting food in the cafeteria. Anyone seen the Safeway model? It would be...

  22. Nurses that don't work holidays?

    vera4130 replied to kegardne's topic in General Students

    vera4130 replied to AlphaPig's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Where I work I see a mix. Some doctors are wonderful, they may not hunt down the nurse, but always take our concerns or suggestions seriously. Almost all the specialists I work with are wonderful -...
