  1. Am being treated poorly

    sharann replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say the language was Tagalog. I don't care what language it is btw. We have nurses who speak English, Spanish, Farsi, Russian, Tagalog, Korean..... I believe that they should be more...

  3. iv calculation problem!!!!!!!!!!!

    sharann replied to prettyparade_3's topic in General Nursing

    Break it down. IF you have 1000cc's to sart with...take the rate per hour which is 150cc's/hr. Then figure out with basic math what 150 X 6 is (it is 900cc's right?) So you really are being asked to...

  7. PACU-ISMS...what are some of yall's?

    sharann replied to texascowgirl's topic in PACU

    When we say "Take that patient down" we mean to unhook their monitors and ready them for transport. In the ER or Psych that means something else

  8. Intubation

    sharann replied to rnwithtof's topic in General Nursing

    As if nurses do not already do enough and have enough liablity you want us to intubate as well? Well, of course flight nurses should but in the hospital I would go with the physicians and in some...

  9. Opinions please re: Phase I

    sharann replied to sharann's topic in PACU

    Thanks. I bet we have them too written somewhere so when something goes wrong we can be accused of not following policy. I will check into it. Would a GI lab or Cath lab nurse work alone during or...

    sharann replied to sharann's topic in PACU

    sharann replied to cathleenrmermaid7's topic in General Nursing

    We never overreact when it is our child. Hope it works out. I hope venting helps you. If you suspect a physician of abusing a substance then there is a place to report this to(outside of the...

  16. Would you take this Job?

    sharann replied to Surgerygirl's topic in General Nursing

    A good employer is a rare find in this profession, and I concur with the above posters who said you have to look at more than just the money. IF you can get by well as you are now, then stay where you...

  17. It gets easier right???

    sharann replied to sharann's topic in PACU

    Thanks Dianah! Even though I went from PACU to PACU I am still amazed at the differences and the amount to absorb. I feel like a sponge that got rung out at the end of the day! I will look forward to...

  18. Can't Sleep

    sharann replied to shabbychic23's topic in General Nursing

  20. Antibiotic retention enemas??

    sharann replied to Silver_Girl's topic in MICU, SICU

    I am not an ICU nurse but as a nurse with inflamm. bowel disease I was shocked by the amount of fluid ordered and the time for "retention". I cannot imagine having that much saline instilled and...

  21. My Story / Mayo Clinic

    sharann replied to buffscotty's topic in Nursing Career

    Well, good luck. It sounds like you are more interested in being called "doctor" than nurse. I hope you are able to see that DNP and MD are completely different types of practice. You need quite a bit...

    sharann replied to redknight's topic in General Nursing

  24. Help with this doctors order....

    sharann replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    :chuckle That is what I was thinking. Honestly though, I was taught that orders such as "grains","drams", and "ounces" are not to be used anymore. It seems ridiculous to use such an obsolete unit...

    sharann replied to wayover20's topic in PACU

    TXRN, As a nurse who works in one and having been a patient pre-op as well I would be very p.o'd if they put me in a full blown phase I PACU. It is scary and can be loud and one doesn't need that at...
