    Why don't you just read the chart?

    vanilla bean replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You don't need to know what's coming. You can just read the trip sheet/paperwork when EMS rolls through the doors with your new patient. OP didn't say what, if any, info should be provided prior to...

    Why don't you just read the chart?

    vanilla bean replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would like to extend your proposal to the report that happens on the "front end" of the ER patient transfer - the one that happens between EMS and the ER. Why should EMS be wasting everyone's time...

    I agree with the other posters that you shouldn't feel guilty if you're unavailable to pick up extra shifts. I also wanted to add that your supervisor has a responsibility to exhaust all options when...

    Best way to ask visitors to identify themselves

    vanilla bean replied to shopaholicRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a patient. Sorry to intrude.

    vanilla bean replied to francisarsenic's topic in General Nursing

    I think if it's bothering you, then you should say something. IMO, the apology you proposed would be appropriate for the situation as you perceive it. Please don't dwell on this. If you feel like you...

    Any ex RTs?

    vanilla bean replied to Justsomedude's topic in General Nursing

    That's entirely possible. One of my colleagues made the transition from his AS in RT to BSN in a 3 year accelerated program. But this was quite a while ago, so I don't know if program requirements...
