  1. POLL: nurse-to-patient ratio

    j0yegan posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know there are different acuity levels, but on your floor, what is the nurse-to-patient ratio? I just want to add them all into a visual-friendly poll. (If you work with "couplets", include mom and...

  4. Scrubs and Beyond

    j0yegan replied to tall1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've gotten my scrubs there. Sure, it's expensive (as are all scrubs), but they have a large variety. They can order a size for you if they don't have it in the store. I saw someone return a lot of...

    j0yegan replied to msjpurdy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sounds like it IS a sign from God. I'm happy for you, and I think you should try mother/baby unit. It's a great opportunity to try something different, and you just might like

  9. Documentation, Scapegoating and Fear for Jobs.. The Current Status of Being an RN.

    j0yegan replied to PedsRN25's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely, completely (sadly) agree with what has been said here. The number one thing I hear at work is "document it... ya gotta save your butt." Charting is now done for lawyers, not doctors....

  10. Why do people insist on coming to work sick?

    j0yegan replied to LTCNS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not your fault, so don't feel bad for having to call-in... I think people come to work when they're sick sometimes because they really want the money. I don't get it myself. When I'M sick, I...

  15. Cosigning meds

    j0yegan replied to ICUNurseG's topic in General Nursing

    We do that at my hospital as well. No one likes it. You're spending time trying to find another nurse just so they can co-sign with you on the computer. And sometimes, when they co-sign, the computer...

    j0yegan replied to j0yegan's topic in Ob/Gyn

  21. Brand new in POSTPARTUM

    j0yegan posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm new on the mother/baby floor. It's a totally different area than I'm used to. It's not just following orders once you see them on the computer. It's just things you have to already know. There are...

    j0yegan replied to mon00707's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yeah. Most places are 12-hour shifts. I like it. 4 days off a week. Using less gas. I couldn't stand just having 2 days off... especially with an incredibly stressful job as

    I hear ya. We have our own nursing duties to deal with and just don't have time to change every single patient 2-3x a shift. If there are heavy patients, we will help change them. As for the others,...
