   Last night an educator stopped by for an in-service. Not related to restraints. But I couldnt resist bringing it up! So we were hearing through the grapevine that posey vests were being taken away. There were several dates in feburary thrown around b...

2. Restraint Free Facility?!

   Verygreennurse replied to Verygreennurse's topic in General Nursing

   I wish it was a rumor! They have already taken away the posey vest and the wrist and ankles are leaving on the 2/24. They use heavy sedation but i have a problem with that when it comes to my neuro patients and my eldery patients take cant metabolism...

   Unfortunately it's a done deal. We were taken over by Cleveland Clinic and they are a restraint free hospital. Eeek!

4. Restraint Free Facility?!

   Verygreennurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   We are soon going to be restraint free. And im a bit terrified. Our facility also lacks live sitters. I work on a PCU/tele/neuro/ICU holding floor. We typically have a sitter room that has 1 live sitter and 4 patients. And many times the sitter room ...

   Verygreennurse replied to Beau Wolf's topic in General Nursing

   I gossip. But its usually about what doctor is sleeping with what nurse. Or nonsensical stuff because I have no life and live at the hospital.Its usually over coffee in our "consulation" room. Advice. Stick behind your decisions. If you dont want to ...

6. To the nurse who was belittling and condescending to me today

   Verygreennurse replied to Wherearethelandmarks's topic in General Nursing

8. Feel like a horrible nurse!

   Verygreennurse replied to Verygreennurse's topic in General Nursing

   Just want to thank everyone again. Working nights is definitely different than days. I beat myself up a lot more than I should probably (days or nights). It will hopefully become less with experience. I dont care about getting yelled at by doctors. I...
