  1. colleague does not want to take day off

    Dogen replied to bellefleur's topic in General Nursing

    No. Next

  2. Favoritism in assignments

    Dogen replied to wildlaurel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't want to sound like a jerk, but... 2006 was 9 years ago. Isn't it to be expected that a person would develop new positions after a decade of

  3. Doctor charts later?

    Dogen replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it depends what you mean by "without doctor's order yet." If the physician asks for it, that's an order. If they haven't asked for it, it's not an order and you should probably wait. This is...

  4. Doctor charts later?

    Dogen replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, if it's not an emergency but there's a reason the physician can't put in the order, we put it in as a verbal order and it gets added to the physician's to do list for a co-sign. Basically, as...

  5. ixchel's 8/15 This Week I Have Learned...

    Dogen replied to Farawyn's topic in General Nursing

    You should come work

  6. Scrubs for the slim

    Dogen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I didn't mean to hijack your thread. It just comes naturally. My apologies. Good luck finding willowy

  7. Scrubs for the slim

    Dogen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Oh, so they really are European! Does that explain why their men's shoes look like their women's

  8. Scrubs for the slim

    Dogen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    So you wear like a size 12E

  9. Scrubs for the slim

    Dogen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    No, technically all three of mine just mean slender and graceful, not tall. Fail. Willowy is definitely the best option for tall and slender. Do they make willowy

  10. Scrubs for the slim

    Dogen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Or svelte, lithe, or lissome. All of which mean essentially the same thing: slender and

  11. Scrubs for the slim

    Dogen replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Technically, since everyone seems hung up on the word petite, you could wear petite scrubs without being petite. So, your first sentence seems correct based on the way manufacturers label clothes, but...

  12. August 2015 Caption Contest. Win $100!

    Dogen replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Hoyer has filed a complaint. He thinks it's sexist that you ask him to help you lift so many of your

  13. 5 Ways Night Shifters Can Sleep Better Now!

    Dogen replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember getting so angry that my neighbor was running his ******* lawn mower while I was trying to sleep... at 10am on a Sunday... I had to remind myself that it was a totally reasonable thing to...

  14. 5 Ways Night Shifters Can Sleep Better Now!

    Dogen replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    1. Black out curtains. 2. Bright lights in your bathroom/wherever you get ready. Light hitting your retinas tells your brain it's time to wake up (see #1). 3. If it's sunny when you clock out wear...

  15. Why is there no nursing school mentoring?

    Dogen replied to etuttle1's topic in General Nursing

    I did an accelerated program that started in June and finished the following September. Each June the cohort that was about to graduate became mentors for the group that had just started. I didn't...

  16. Are you a great nurse leader?

    Dogen replied to willegan's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me wrong, having a NM made of steel who stands between me and administrators who think I have all this free time to add new responsibilities would be great... ... but a NM who shoots Sierra...

  17. What advice would you give your 19 year old self?

    Dogen replied to depalma.amada's topic in General Nursing

    - Your roommate is into you, stop waiting - Your other roommate is going to start smoking crack in less than two years, so save up and move out - Get your Canadian citizenship before you move back to...

  18. Admissions

    Dogen replied to nightsinBoston's topic in General Nursing

    We do verbal reports. A hospital I used to work at tried sending report sheets through the tubes (pneumatic, not internet), but they inevitably forgot to write down things like the BP, whether a UA...

  19. Are you a great nurse leader?

    Dogen replied to willegan's topic in General Nursing

    This feels eerily like some BSN homework I vaguely remember doing. The skills I look for in a nurse leader are: - A Stephen Hawking-esque knowledge of EMRs, including answers to questions like, "How...

  20. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    Dogen replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    If you're inclined toward chemistry: CO2 + H2O = H2CO3, aka carbonic acid. Some people find it easier to remember that way (it has the word acid in it!). Other people find that to be a useless...

  21. FNP in a psychiatric office?

    Dogen replied to bethymaester's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    In Oregon the OSBN executive council includes one APRN, and because she's an FNP they bring in a consulting NP if there's a practice question or investigation of any other specialty. The full board...

  22. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    Dogen replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    Patient is SOB.

  23. That one random nugget of information from nursing school that you've never forgotten..

    Dogen replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school I had a DD patient who always had a family member in the room. I walked in one time about 10 minutes after we'd started vanco to see how it was going, and the family...

  24. Psych NP questions

    Dogen replied to Danielle.RN.BSN.'s topic in Psychiatric

    Through work and school and being a fairly friendly individual who goes to departmental alumni mixers I know 30 or so psych NPs. The only ones I know who do therapy are in private practice, like...

  25. This week, I have learned... (8/8)

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    One of the things about working nights is you can basically drink whenever you want. If it's 8am you just say, "I just got off work, this is my 5 o'clock." If it's 6pm and you've only been up for an...
