  1. nurses not using stethoscopes

    Thats the problem, many don't do assessments sadly!
  2. Yes but the hospital will get rid of you! They don't have to prove a thing!
  3. Exact and on the point! I have been in many aspects of nursing and always loved it! I quit bedside nearly 2 years ago and now more have left! They want more, and more, and more! And you are right, they sit in their office looking at pie graph and cha...
  4. Giving up my dog

    Very true! My animals are my children too and you sacrifice what you must to accomodate them!
  5. Giving up my dog

    Hopefully you took your beloved dog to a no kill shelter! Owner surrenders are euthanized first at many shelters. Really sad you didn't realize the responsibility before you got the dog!
  6. What is with this angry nurse?

    Yes indeed it happens everywhere! It is not the place it occurs it is merely the person and their attitude toward life! The person is more than likely the same no matter who they are dealing with.
  7. Holding "Ordered Meds"..... What are the rules?

  9. Oh, our hospital made you bring your own three days of food and water! For the employee and all of their family.
  10. I live in Florida too and though we don't have snow storms we do have Hurricaines and we had similar policies here if there "might be" a Hurricaine. They really don't care what your responsibilities at home are. At my hospital, however, they allowed...
  11. They sure do because they have a "policy"!
  12. I think they have to pay you. Check with the National Labor Board.
  13. Yes it is quite amazing how nurses stood together!
  14. Would You Report Me for This?

    Since you are the one documenting you administered the medication, if you do not actually see the patient take it, your documentation is false. Reason for dismissal in many facilities. As a new grad I'm sure you realize it is wrong but especially w...
  15. Though parameters on many orders from physicians would make life easier for all of us, the physicians rarely give them. Hardly a cause to lose your license. Beside pain is an individual perception! A level 4 pain to one person may be equal to7-8 to a...
