  11. signs of a bad unit

    johsonmichelle replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    I still see a high turn over rate as a bad sign, for this particular unit a good portion of people left because of the unit. Some of them went to other floors so it had nothing to do with CRNA school....

  12. signs of a bad unit

    johsonmichelle replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    There are very true true icu patients, the floor has a very high turnover rate and not a lot of options to bring in staff. You mean sitting with patient is not a norm? Then thats a shame, when I sit...

  14. signs of a bad unit

    johsonmichelle replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Actually it not, most of the time they do not have a tech. If they do have a tech, its only one tech for the whole floor. A good portion of time when i float to the ICU , I get pooled off the floor...

  19. signs of a bad unit

    johsonmichelle replied to johsonmichelle's topic in General Nursing

    Good advice, although it can go both ways, I believe the nurse and cna should work together. There are some lazy cna's but there also overtly demanding nurses. I believe in the ICU, the nurses do most...

  24. Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    johsonmichelle replied to 2bnursebeckky's topic in General Students

    I don't blame the nurse. Now that I work in the hospital, I can see why they don't want to teach. Thejob itself it very stressful, then adding teaching to the already heavy workload is not easy. I was...
