  1. Smelly Co-Worker

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    If it were me, I'd want someone to tell me. In private. At the beginning of the shift...before I started to become more odoriferous. What to do about it. Not that I had an odor, I'd already know that....

  2. Age when you had your first child?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to sugabuga's topic in Ob/Gyn

    1- 21 2-24 I think there is no best age, but it sure helps to be finished with your education, and have a bit of a financial background before children arrived. Wish I had done

  3. How does your facility handle holidays??Looking for advice on a problem.

    Luv2BAnurse replied to IrishNurseColleen's topic in General Nursing

    If you really don't want to work it, don't. Bear in mind that it may affect future raises, promotions, requests, etc. I would love to not have to work any holidays either, and if I ever get the...

  4. the period that will not end

    Luv2BAnurse replied to endlesssummer1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    goodgawdalmighty.....I actually WAS eating leftover cranberry jello. looked like clots in it.

  5. Appropriate Action?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to mdmetz's topic in General Nursing

    That was inappropriate behavior and documentation. I just wonder, however, if that student nurse knew that patient....outside of the hospital

  6. Worried...caught med error but only CNA

    Luv2BAnurse replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    You did what you thought you needed to, and that's ok. If you were asked to fill out a med error report, then do it. There could be several reasons why a bag of unasyn could be left hanging. The IV...

  7. How bad is this med error?

    Luv2BAnurse replied to bth44's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't have written it up either, I don't have time. Sometimes things are written up because staff is tired of messes that certain nurses leave, and they are using the write up as a form of...

  8. 3 Consecutive 12 Hour Shifts

    Luv2BAnurse replied to loconno2's topic in General Nursing

    I work three 12's in a row, and it is exhausting. I cry too. I'd STILL cry if they were split, I just don't want 12's anymore. Dream job....4 8's....

  9. STUDENTS: what do you want out of staff nurses? NURSES: vice versa....

    Luv2BAnurse replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    When I work with a student I don't mind answering questions. I agree with you about the superior knowledge, that's a total turnoff. I remember when I was in school, there was a particular nurse that...

  10. nsg

    Luv2BAnurse replied to nsg's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you saying the other health care provider has incontinence? And there is a cognitive impairment? Speak to him/her anyway, with suggestions, or the

  11. UUUGHH (White-coat syndrome?)

    Luv2BAnurse replied to jbeck817's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand what is inappropriate with a white coat , if it's a scrub jacket or lab coat or whatever. Everyone where I work wears them...just like scrubs. That CNA, just like any other...

  12. I guess I'm a florist now too....

    Luv2BAnurse replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    while I "love to be a nurse" I don't love being treated only as a servant. Most times, I wouldn't mind doing "extra" things at work. Most nurses that I know already feel overburdened by tasks and...

  13. How do you communicate between staff???

    Luv2BAnurse replied to johnson0424's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Communication books are ok although it is something else to initial, so what. Email works fairly well, as long as everyone has access. For Goodness' sakes no notes. They get lost, overlooked,...

  14. Medication Nurse Assistants

    Luv2BAnurse replied to K205's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just wondering if a CMA is in addition to the RN or LPN, or instead of because the LTC I Prn at keeps telling us they have no money.... What would the nurse's responsibility be when a CMA gives...

  15. "you don't have to wear scrubs, just uniform"

    Luv2BAnurse replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes the nurses on my unit wear tee shirts, and that is usually with scrub pants (although not always). I always wear scrubs, only because they are cooler and more comfortable and I am all for...

  16. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    My little angels always woke up early Christmas morning when they were younger. Now that they're teenangels, they rarely wake up early...BUT, two years ago when I worked Christmas Day, they got up at...

  17. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    EXACTLY....it is a shift. It will pass. 4,6,8,10, or 12 hours. It AIN'T 24. (feels like it at times,

  18. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    Luv2BAnurse replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Enjoy your holiday Marie. I have "kids", well teenagers....I wouldn't expect someone to either trade to give me time off, nor ask me to trade so their younger children will have mom or dad home. Where...

  19. night shift has begun....

    Luv2BAnurse replied to ava'smomRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly

  20. Question about horror stories

    Luv2BAnurse replied to nursehottie12's topic in General Nursing

    I did. Once. Actually, it was the son of a patient. He was belittling me, and of course that irritated me, so I did give him a piece of my mind. I got a write up after he complained. He got....nothing...

  21. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    hehe

    Luv2BAnurse replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle

  23. your very own personal crusade

    Luv2BAnurse replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

    Being from the South too, I LIKE being called those. Gives me a sense (however false it may be) that someone cares. I also USE those endearments on occasion. More so at LTC than in

  24. Nurses Will Eat Anything

    Luv2BAnurse replied to bobnurse's topic in General Nursing

    like cream of wheat, only corn- not wheat. like oatmeal, only corn- not oat. it's a hot cereal. Grits are delicious, salt, butter, pepper, cheese, gravy, canned bulk sausage, red-eye gravy, etc. GRITS...

  25. Paid Preceptorships??

    Luv2BAnurse replied to VeryPlainJane's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work, the orientee gets paid regular pay, and the preceptor gets a WHOLE 50 cents per hour
