  1. Preachy Coworker

    Luv2BAnurse replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I still don't understand why he'd "throw the f-word in". Usually THAT isn't tolerated in the work place. I understand that most religions urge you to share the word (but not THAT word).........maybe...

  2. I am going to do it

    Luv2BAnurse replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

  4. Unit Secretary Doesn't Know Scope of Practice!

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Okami_CCRN's topic in General Nursing

    It took me a while to understand this. The hospital I am PRN at has CNA's for Unit Secretaries...that would have been in their scope of

  5. Too Busy to.....

    Luv2BAnurse replied to DesertRoseAZ's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it can be a challenge to take a break. I know that I have been that busy when working the floor. I think we just don't want to get behind by taking a break, but it can be done. Most units...

  6. Fear of physicians and taking telephone orders

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Joni's Mom's topic in General Nursing

    That or ask the MD to clarify, or spell the med...I've done that before and the MD spelled it incorrectly! They are human too. :) Just remember that you and the MD are both there for the better of the...

  7. What did you do before you were a nurse and how has it contributed to your career?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Dancin'Mom's topic in General Nursing

    I had gone to NS right after HS graduation, but quit and got married and had children. I worked as an 8th grade special education assistant teacher for several years before going back to

    Luv2BAnurse replied to kstec's topic in General Nursing

  9. How lengthy is your commute?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to RNOTODAY's topic in General Nursing

    If I had taken a position that far away, I would be looking into moving closer. I walk to work...it takes me about 3 steps from my bed to my desk. Working at home is wonderful. I do PRN at the local...

  10. Is this common???

    Luv2BAnurse replied to femsmahus's topic in General Nursing

    Not that the "attitude" makes any difference, but I'm just wondering if the "student" in charge is already an RN, working for a higher degree (wonder why she'd bother :chuckle ). Let us know how...

  11. Have you ever said something so dumb...

    Luv2BAnurse replied to 1jazzynurse's topic in General Nursing

    That just reminded me of a time I had a male patient that was quite eager to go home and was going to be discharged. I had told him numerous times that the orders were not yet written as the doc was...

  13. "I have kids! I need to come in late, need more sick time, etc."

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Unless it is written into the policy, then no, it isn't fair to expect more days off or to come in late/leave early just because you have children. I definitely missed more time from work when my...

  14. What side of the elevator do you stand on?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    almost always I move to the left when entering and put my right cheek next to the wall, so if I smile at anyone, they don't see my missing tooth! heh, but usually I like for my back to be to a wall so...

  15. Moral Dilemmas

    Luv2BAnurse replied to happyhelpert's topic in General Nursing

    Remain professional. Nurses do not have to agree with lifestyles to provide adequate, or even superior care to their patients. There are many different backgrounds amongst people. This is somewhat of...

  16. How long did you take off work post cholesystectomy

    Luv2BAnurse replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

  19. Unrealistic steriotypes of medicine on TV

    Luv2BAnurse replied to chnc1024's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't bother me too much, only when people actually believe what they see on TV. Just as an aside, my husband always makes comments on military uniforms being worn incorrectly on television "Do...

  20. Getting a hard night off my chest-

    Luv2BAnurse replied to FNimuaeMae's topic in General Nursing

    That is awful, for everyone involved. I just want to thank you for being there giving dad extra attention. We just never

  21. Nurses who DON'T work in a hospital, what do you do?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to RNfaster's topic in General Nursing

    I work from home for a disease management company. I make telephone calls to educate members regarding their specific chronic conditions (MS, CF, ALS, Crohn's, Scleroderma, MG, SCD, etc...). I worked...

  22. Did I do the right thing, or did I not do enough?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

  23. Whats with the scrubs?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to scattycarrot's topic in General Nursing

    Um....No kidding...I saw a woman in Wal Mart with her bathrobe and slippers on...no hair rollers

  24. Giving report-rude nurse

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Blackcat99's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are an experienced nurse, just new to that facility? Are you perhaps MORE experienced than the nurse you give report to? If so, maybe she feels the need to say things like that to validate...

  25. Could use some opinions and/or advice.

    Luv2BAnurse replied to mandaleigh's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It does take time. You are a new nurse. You are still in orientation. If you still feel that way near the end of your orientation, speak to the DON and request a little longer. I know that nurses have...
