  1. "He wants his Ativan? Well I'm not giving it to him"

    Momma1RN replied to learnfromthis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. Sometimes people are looking for meds that aren't due. It certainly sounds like he was agitated. Even if it wasn't due, she should have assessed the patient. If the patient remained agitated...

  2. Any advice would be Appreciated

    Momma1RN replied to ShannonIsMe's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    Hmm. That's a weird situation. Do you have any details about what the couple is accusing the nurses

  3. "He wants his Ativan? Well I'm not giving it to him"

    Momma1RN replied to learnfromthis's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This RNs attitude aside, she went over an hour and a half without even seeing her patients? She knew he wanted a medication and didn't go in to see the patient? Was there something going on with...

  4. Two RN jobs under one year?

    Momma1RN replied to SYeH's topic in General Nursing

    Generally, 1 year experience is required before you're not considered a "new grad" anymore. At least that's how it is where i'm

  5. Nurse Clueless

    Momma1RN replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Say what!? How does that even happen.

  6. Nurse Clueless

    Momma1RN replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Ha we had a code. Man aspirated and stopped breathing but was paced. Pregnant (fairly young) ICU nurse shows up and elbows her way to the bedside where she promptly states "So what are we letting the...

  7. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    Momma1RN replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    You are going to have to deal with difficult personalities everywhere. If you're not willing to meet with an administrator at your nursing SCHOOL without a "witness" (you know, in case she pulls out a...

  8. The hospitalist dilemma

    Momma1RN replied to sauce's topic in Advanced Practice

    We've got an FNP on staff within our hospitalist group and she is fantastic. Very knowledgable and seems more competent than some of the docs. That being said she doesn't work nights and doesn't cover...

  9. Fed-up: Admin will not even meet with me so I can withdrawal. A warning to others.

    Momma1RN replied to reluctantrn's topic in General Students

    Slavery? Really? Prison? You're being dramatic. Not sure what this "abuse" is, but go withdraw at the registrars office. Worst case scenario, you've wasted a semester of cash. Oh well, move

  10. Don't Want To Touch Patients!

    Momma1RN replied to ThinBabe's topic in General Nursing

    Social work sounds like it may be a good fit for you. Good

  11. Pixus waste never witnessed

    Momma1RN replied to bella14k's topic in General Nursing

    I would never take a medication out for another nurse to give. EVER. If she is tied up and has a patient in pain, I would certainly pull the med, but always give it myself. I never blindly waste with...

  12. To tell or not to tell!

    Momma1RN replied to XNavyCorpsman's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Learn from their mistakes and don't make the same ones. If you see a computer with someones name on it, minimize or close out of the box. Speak with the infection control RN if you think that PPE...

  13. If you had to, what would you chose?

    Momma1RN replied to EMEddie's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on which model you prefer. Many of us on this site (myself included) could have gone to medical or PA school but we chose to become nurses for the nursing model. If you see...

  14. Chiro To FNP?

    Momma1RN replied to chiro13's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would probably take the nursing prerequisites online. Then apply to a BSN program. If you already have a bachelors degree, look into an accelerated BSN- there are some you can complete in 3-4...

  15. can nursing school deny me for arrest record but no convictions?

    Momma1RN replied to futurenurse93_'s topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  16. IV bolus ordered because pt hypertensive

    Momma1RN replied to Are Enn's topic in Patient Medications

    My first thought would be related to third spacing and attempting to prevent shock to support circulation. I'm curious though,

  17. Fired for following orders

    Momma1RN replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Shame on everyone involved. You need to know your scope as a PCT and as an RN in the future. You can be fired for following orders. If a doctor told you to remove sutures, would you, just because you...

  18. Is change a BAD thing? (MS nurses doing vitals)

    Momma1RN replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Our hospital just instituted this policy as well. I get vitals before I give morning meds. I do my assessment at this time as well. I actually don't mind it- I have a baseline and I don't have to...

  19. Top Issues with Your EMR

    Momma1RN replied to InformaticsRN.MA's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Not sure what our current system is, but we are switching to EPIC next month. People are overwhelmed, but it seems like it's going to be a really good thing in the long

  20. Do you carry around your stethoscope?

    Momma1RN replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious what a jury of your peers would say about this when you get sued for negligence. If you don't want to assess patients, why are you a

  21. Has anyone done George Washington University Online Program?!?!

    Momma1RN replied to LKWalters22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Not yet- I just have to upload my resume/CV and a copy of my license. I keep going back and forth about it. I feel like it might not be the right time for it, but then I also feel like there's never...

  22. Has anyone done George Washington University Online Program?!?!

    Momma1RN replied to LKWalters22's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I'm thinking of applying to the GWU FNP program for Fall 2015 start- anyone

  23. Complaining about your employer, loudly, at nurses' station

    Momma1RN replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  25. No More ED Report?

    Momma1RN replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Totally agree. All the older RNs complain about the ED all.shift.long. I mean, they complain about admissions. Hello, if we didn't have patients, we wouldn't have jobs. And the expectation that...
