  2. Male nurse midwife

    greenerpastures replied to Eyalslevy's topic in Men in Nursing

    A nurse is a nurse is a nurse. I personally think it's a great idea if that's your passion. Go for

  3. Vancomycin rate question

    greenerpastures replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    One addition to the thoughts, if you and the pharmacy work out running the vanco slower/faster, please make sure the timing for a vanco trough lab is adjusted

  4. I wish they had to stay and watch the chaos

    greenerpastures posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just once, I wish MDs had to stay and watch the chaos that ensues when you discharge 12-15 people at roughly the same time in one day. Oh yeah, all the discharges were put in about 4 hours before...

  5. Info on Florida RN salary

    greenerpastures replied to jules407's topic in Florida Nursing

    Is the 22.90 with your shift differential, or is that your base

  6. I wish they had to stay and watch the chaos

    greenerpastures replied to greenerpastures's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry scottaprn but I work on a very busy floor with very little downtime for anyone. We "bust tail" pretty much the entire

  7. I wish they had to stay and watch the chaos

    greenerpastures replied to greenerpastures's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Same two docs - we have hospitalists - 2 to a floor per week. They sit next to each other at the computer when they do things and talk about pt before discharge. * Let me say that I walked into this...

  8. student in need of help

    greenerpastures replied to boobear0299's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could make the argument that by asking how long the kidney is good for, the patient is forward looking in an attempt to make plans for his life - which indicates acceptance. He is not dwelling on...

  9. Communicating with Doctors

    greenerpastures replied to spacey's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly, sometimes to improve communication, you have to stand up for yourself. I had a doc that was very rude to me on the phone and I politely told him that if he was going to yell like a child, I...

  10. giving meds late when it's not in pixis

    greenerpastures replied to Birdy2's topic in Patient Medications

    We don't have an option for "med not available" - must be pharmacy had that taken out! We have options for just about everything else though except - "person has 4 antibiotics IV scheduled at the...

  11. Should I get my Traditional BSN while I'm in undergrad or aim for an Accelerated program?

    greenerpastures replied to greenbean14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just like to throw in - if you go for a second degree accelerated BSN, you still have to get accepted to that program. My understanding is they can be MORE competitive than a traditional BSN...

  13. Time to vent - my apologies in advance.

    greenerpastures replied to Levitas's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with the statement that the ED can get blood in much faster, which helps the patient in the end. In our facility there is a "soft guideline" that anything transfused in 2 hours or less is...

  14. No More ED Report?

    greenerpastures replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Medical-Surgical

    At least where I've worked, it's known that several of our ED people will "sit" on their patients until the very end of their shift, then call for transport about 20 minutes before their shift ends...

  15. No More ED Report?

  17. New Nurse Night Shift Time Management HELP

    greenerpastures replied to xNurse91's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Best piece of advice I ever got was from a teacher and a family member. Always try to get the important things done in the first 4 hours of your shift - assessments, HS med pass, any significant...

  18. Microbiology

    greenerpastures replied to mmrox92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your grade is your grade. An A- is a perfectly acceptable grade. For you to complain or expect a curve because you are at the top of the class is unbecoming. If you feel that strongly that your...

  19. Provided with a phone for shift?

    greenerpastures replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    We have phones were I work which is great if I need to call out, but not so great if someone needs to call me back. You can't give your direct line to the oncall service because every floor has the...

  20. Nurse-Patient Ratios

    greenerpastures replied to PA_RN87's topic in General Nursing

    1. Supposed to be medical oncology, but more of a medical tele floor that happens to do chemotherapy - we get anyone who has had cancer even if they aren't in the hospital for that (i.e. UTI but has...

    greenerpastures replied to VCRN84's topic in Florida Nursing

    You aren't going to get anything close to that as a new grad in the

    greenerpastures replied to aeron0228's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Try to find another school you can finish

  23. Scheduled overtime

    greenerpastures posted a topic in General Nursing

    The facility where I work schedules everyone for overtime, usually every other week but tied into your weekend shift. They bill it as being "on call" Friday, but they tell you up front that most of...

  24. Scheduled overtime

    greenerpastures replied to greenerpastures's topic in General Nursing

    State doesn't have regs about overtime/mandating that we could find that make it "illegal". You don't have an option to decline the overtime. The schedule is put out with everyone on it for the...
