  1. Fed up with this RN

    ICURN3020 replied to Nursingdreamsx0's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I actually pity those who do this. People that are secure with themselves, aware of their strengths and are classy in general don't need to continually remind everyone around them or try to seek the...

  2. HELLP!!:(

    ICURN3020 replied to viccou6501's topic in Home Health

    My understanding is that you would have had to "accept" the patient assignment in order to be accused/charged with patient abandonment. However, I do not live in your state and I'm not familiar with...

  3. the value of a good attitude

    ICURN3020 replied to danlee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My husband once put it to me this way and it has always helped me when I'm feeling like you describe...... Does what/who is upsetting you really matter when you stop and think about it in the grand...

  4. Documenting for someone else

    ICURN3020 replied to EquusAnonymous's topic in General Nursing

    NO WAY!!! I agree.....save her e-mail as proof of what you are being asked to (illegally) do. Maybe tell her you would feel more comfortable if you first called your BON and ran it by them to make...

  5. PPM Question

    ICURN3020 replied to Wheaties1974's topic in Critical Care

    All I could think of when reading this is I hope I never end up in the hospital needing some device for my heart that neither the staff nor the physician knows how to use

  6. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So I am having an issue with giving a particular nurse report. The problem is that she expects the reporting nurse to "spoon feed" her every minute detail beginning with circumstances surrounding...

  7. Stupid mistakes

    ICURN3020 replied to New picu's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Never, ever be afraid to ask a physician for clarification. I've had to ask certain ones to repeat themselves two or three times before.....it's often with a physician with a strong accent or a...

  8. Subjective/Objective Symptom

    ICURN3020 replied to exam1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    ICURN3020 replied to exam1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm really hoping an auto-correct

  11. Subjective/Objective Symptom

    ICURN3020 replied to exam1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It sounds as if you are copying your paper/exam question right off the page in front of you and wanting someone to go down your list with an answer for each. Please realize you are not doing...

  12. Subjective/Objective Symptom

    ICURN3020 replied to exam1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As RunBabyRN stated.... Objective: observable or measurable; a fact or reality that can be detected by any observer (vital signs, bleeding) Subjective: cannot be measured and are stated by the...

  13. Telephone order?

    ICURN3020 replied to elizabeth_alvior's topic in Patient Medications

    You always have a choice. Don't let anyone bully you into doing something that you are unsure of or know not to do. Is your place of employment unsupervised on the weekends? There has to be someone...

  14. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We tried bedside report, it only lasted a short time and fizzled out soon

  15. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're nurse-pt ratio is only 1:1???? That would be a

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Cuddles.....I can't see it!!! it's blown up really

  17. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree about the poor time management skills....there are a few who are always frazzled and running around in circles when I arrive, yet always have a "honey do" list for me of tasks they were just...

  18. Have you ever puked/fainted/etc at work?

    ICURN3020 replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

  20. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep, same here....I think I'm just going to have to tell her flat out that I cannot spend 20-25 minutes discussing ONE patient. If others want to coddle her, so be it. At least she'll know that she...

  21. Open up....Spoonfed report

    ICURN3020 replied to ICURN3020's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Ain't nobody got time for that!" Haha....I had to. Please tell me someone knows what I'm referring to.....if not, google that phrase and watch the video. It's funny

  22. Have you ever puked/fainted/etc at work?

    ICURN3020 replied to 0.adamantite's topic in General Nursing

    No but I did have an episode in nursing school during OB clinicals. The physician who had just delivered the baby was one who obviously enjoyed teaching as he went out of his way to explain things to...

  23. The beauty of nursing : midweek camping, hiking, boating, skiing, no crowds!

    ICURN3020 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I love my 3 12's and don't think I could ever go back to banker's hours/days. No thanks! Plus I work nights and there's nothing better than crawling into a warm, snuggly bed when everyone else is...

  24. What's a "difficult pt" to you?

    ICURN3020 replied to KRVRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  25. What's a "difficult pt" to you?

    ICURN3020 replied to KRVRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
