  1. Persistent Falsification of Data

    Hmm...is patient safety not her business? A patient would not be receiving adequate care if the data is wrong. Care is based off the data. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod ...
  2. CAN'T work weekends and holidays anymore!

    I would much rather work the weekends ONLY. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  3. Risk for Falls expected outcomes PLEASE HELP!!!

    We are taught that goals should be timed and measurable...but I like realistic, too. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  4. Am I Being Bullied?

    Firstly, can there not be levels of bullying? Secondly, while idle chit-chat is not a necessity, kindness IS. Simply being kind and saying a few more words beyond "yes", "no", "fine" doesn't mean the preceptor is her new BFF. She is clearly alienatin...
  5. Where do we keep our stuff?

    Familiarize yourself with the cellphone policy. No means no. I find it a little irritating seeing students/staff standing in the hallway or even in a patient's room texting away. As a student you are there to learn. Leave the cell in your car or in y...

  7. So confused, help me out please. Pre-nursing

    I think nursing programs are competitive whether you go the CC route (ADN) or university (BSN). They are in my area, at least. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  8. Heat and LTC facilities

    Aw! The residents always love a treat like that! I miss LTC. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  9. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    I am going to say not necessarily. You don't think there are times it's more give than take? Such as...as I stated above, full-time work and full-time student...husband works regular hours and takes care of the household...he's clearly giving more th...
  10. Harsh nurses

    Okay, so what does how much they make have to do with anything? Especially in relation to your post? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  11. How well do you deal with vomit

    I will gladly clean BM all day long if it meant never ever ever ever cleaning up vomit. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  12. Is This a Difficult Patient,or is it a Genuine Concern?

    I was thinking anxiety, as well. But, shouldn't there would be other findings in the assessment r/t anxiety? I experience SOB, increased HR, sweating... OP - I posted this on your other thread but what unit or chapter is this discussion post assigned...
  13. Is This a Difficult Patient,or is it a Genuine Concern?

    What is the unit or chapter r/t to your case study? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  14. Harsh nurses

    Um, what? Several of my clinical instructors "work the floor", as well as work as instructors. They also are right there to assist in any situation (Need an extra set of hands for a pt. who is total assist and needs a bath?Our instructor is right the...
  15. If I was an employee of HL, PAYING for coverage, I'd be more than a little unhappy to have them having any say in any part of my coverage. "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod ...
  16. Sooo...just curious, is Healthcare coverage provided free of charge to their employees? "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness where your mind can feed." - Rod McKuen
  17. Most challenging nursing department

    I'm currently at an LTAC facility for a clinical rotation and I HATE it. By far my least favorite clinical site. Kudos to the staff who go in day after day after day... "I've saved some sunlight if you should ever need a place away from darkness wh...
  18. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    My kids don't starve. My husband takes care of that. What I essentially meant was that if my spouse didn't see fit to pitch in and help on the home front, I would not put up with that. Marriage is a partnership, and that doesn't mean 50/50. My husban...
  19. Husband doesn't understand... advice?

    Come home after working 3 - 12s and have to get dinner for the kids, clean the house, etcetera? NOPE. You can bet your bippy I wouldn't put up with that nonsense for long. Even after one 12 hr, I'm not going to come home and fix dinner or whatever. ...
  20. What "isn't" on the MAR

    Even if the facility is printing their own MARs, the meds should not be "buried". There should be med sheets, then treatment sheets, PRNs, etc. If all the med sheets are first, they're not buried. The pharm company that provides our MARs printed ever...
  21. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    Actually, for the money, I like the Uncalendar. I learned about it here on AN. It's not attractive, per se. But I'm a DIYer, so I made modifications. http://www.uncalendar.com/overview.jsp?index=1 Physical or mental...one way or another...future "wo...
  22. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    Yes, my smartphone is an overpriced planner...I like that it syncs with my school's calendar. And I can add in any important assignments. ? Physical or mental...one way or another...future "wound" nurse.
  23. End Of Life Care

    Is it possible to view it AS the ppt? Rather than on YouTube? Physical or mental...one way or another...future "wound" nurse.
  24. Giving notice when changing jobs

    3 months? How would that work if you have an offer elsewhere. Physical or mental...one way or another...future "wound" nurse.
  25. What gift to get for a nursing student?

    Overpriced personalised planners. (I require a little more for my money than a fancy monogrammed cover on a plain old planner for 30ish bucks. But here is the link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/PlumPaperDesigns Physical or mental...one way or another.....
