  1. charting times

    kaylee. replied to Mr. Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Most people chart all the am assessments at 8, and the IV assessments at 8, 12, 1600. At first this seemed weird to me too, but not really anymore. If something happens like a run of vtach, i will...

  2. Report etiquette

    kaylee. replied to nursecatRN's topic in General Nursing

    There is one nurse I work with, who has less than a year experience, who has the habit of interrupting my report and trying to take over by dictating questions. For example, I will start the head to...

  3. Disciplining employee in front of other employees?!

    kaylee. replied to Seas's topic in General Nursing

    I hate this type of situation! Its totally embarrassing/belittling to do this! It happened to me once, and I was so caught off guard and humiliated! I never approached her about it...however i wish i...

  4. Describe Your Bedside Report

    kaylee. replied to ak3991's topic in General Nursing

    This seems like a drawn out process and should be streamlined. And they are proposing a 'goals' convo with pt/fam to be added in as well.? I love when management tries to throw in an extra time suck...

  5. New Grad off Orientation

    kaylee. replied to froggy93's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As previously posted, maybe you are just that good, but thats not what being a new grad is about. Being great comes with time. Period. Its about the volume of experiences you have accumulated that...

  7. First Incident Report

    kaylee. replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, where in my pp i said i personally would have been concerned with a k of 2.4. I would definitely be frustrated with recieving a patient like this not on monitor etc. but my personality is one...

  8. First Incident Report

    kaylee. replied to gemmi999's topic in General Nursing

    Medscape: Medscape Access I dont work in the ED so I dont know how things are dealt with but according to this medscape page, the patient is in the category of "severe hypokalemia". This makes sense...

  9. Is it bad that I got over failing a class in like 3 days?

    kaylee. replied to alie46's topic in General Students

    There is no set time frame for how long someone should grieve a failed class. As long as you are aware of your pit falls and have an action plan to do better in the future then I say the sooner you...

    kaylee. replied to MelissaMooRN's topic in Patient Medications

  11. Please read my Nursing university essay

    kaylee. replied to FarahFMJ37's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Need reasons why becoming a nurse first, then becoming a doctor, is a bad idea

    kaylee. replied to jeaux's topic in General Nursing

    So basically they are saying they will pay for your tuition to become a nurse, where you can then make some money and fund your own medical degree if you choose. It looks like they aren't gonna help...

  15. new nurse thinking of leaving hospital job

    kaylee. replied to n1wgmp's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Were you underpaid at the hospital? Will the salary increase of $12k at the Dr office put you where you should be in terms of salary at the hospital? Find out what the contract with this new job would...

  18. Pyxis question

    kaylee. replied to blueflower33's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, nothing happens where I work. Non-controlled drugs get lost in the shuffle easily. Just the other day I discovered a colace that a pt refused in my pocket after work...ehh, no biggie. If...

  21. Ok so this is BS

    kaylee. replied to ksparks's topic in Health, Stress Management

    OP, I noticed your previous 2 or 3 posts were similar but were all in the time frame of 3 weeks. It seems like they are all telling the same story, possibly reflecting that you are spiralling in sort...

    kaylee. replied to NocturneNrse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am hypersensitive too, so i totally get the experience of leaving with an uneasy feeling, often triggered by subtle cues from others. Alot of the time I realized it was just me filtering the...

  23. What is Normal for New Nurse

    kaylee. replied to JollyMolly2's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have been there with the anxiety about my shifts on my days off. One thing I still do, 2 years in, is I actively take the nervous energy, and refocus it on how to be better prepared. Hit the books....

  24. Rhythm debate

    kaylee. replied to MendedHeart's topic in Cardiac

    The answer is in the V leads, specifically V4-V6. These are seen as the first 3 rows top right as well as the bottom row. They show ST elevation with T wave inversion. This is consistent with an

  25. Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    kaylee. replied to BonnieSc's topic in Patient Medications

    I didnt see the OP as "downplaying" errors... And I would argue that looking at "systems" for contributions to error--doesn't downplay the magnitude of a nurses individual responsibility. Recognizing...
