  1. In Over My Head????

    traumaprincess replied to TJRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    TJRN, I personally think that it is normal to feel like school did not prepare you for the real world. It did though, you are probably just not aware of how much you change as a nurse each day you...

  4. In Over My Head????

    traumaprincess replied to TJRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    I am not new but I will NEVER forget how I felt. If you feel like you need more orientation you can always ask for more. Just know that you are not expected to know everything and there is always...

  6. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    traumaprincess replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is interesting, then if she does not want to take phone orders and write them herself she needs to tell the doctor to hold while she gets someone who can do it. Because no matter what the NPA...

  9. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    traumaprincess replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I guess I was confusing. Basically what I am trying to say is this does not have to be about RN or LPN. This is basic nursing knowledge, you write your own verbal orders, you do not ask...

  10. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    traumaprincess replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought so you might avoid a big RN vs LPN thing.... I will not write orders that another RN takes either. If someone is comfortable taking the phone order they need to write it themselves....

  12. Can you be called "Doctor" with a PhD in Nursing?

    traumaprincess replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    This is a great thread!!! I just have to add my two stories. I got report from the ER RN, she said I would be receiving Dr. so and so... She gave me report and I waited for the patient. When the...

  16. What can managers do to work on their staffing schedule more effectively?

    traumaprincess replied to Angelfish1234's topic in General Nursing

    Even in larger units self scheduling seems to work. And it is something that is usually a huge morale boost for staff nurses. Our nurses, PCTs, and Secretaries all do self scheduling. There is a...

  17. Floor nursing vs ICU nursing

    traumaprincess replied to faithrn2002's topic in MICU, SICU

    I really think that EVERY nursing job is hard. There is no easy nursing job. There are so many different areas in nursing. Each person needs to find where they are happy and go there. I have...

  18. pt report to ICU?

    traumaprincess replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    Jetsetter, I loved your post!!! You did such a great job seeing both sides. I think report is just another way we as nurses take the opportunity to be hostile or act superior, rather than trying to...

  19. pt report to ICU?

    traumaprincess replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    I am an ICU nurse. We are definately from different planets. I agree with you all though. I here all the time from other nurses about how little info they get from the ER. It makes me laugh. I...

  20. Visitation and staying the night

    traumaprincess replied to optimisticSRNA's topic in MICU, SICU

    I guess my opinion is very different from the others here. I think patients get overwhelmed and stressed especially when intubated when visitors keep waking them and talking to them. I have to wake...
