  3. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're reading way too much emotion into anything I've ever written. Or maybe I'm not using enough happy emoticons? But I am curious where do you get that I was asking for "more snarky...

  4. Natural Caesareans...anyone seen this?

    lavenderskies replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All I can think about when watching this is how many times I've seen providers or scrub nurses get freaked when someone gets a little too close to their field, or a mask is too loose, or a little hair...

  5. Am I a bad nurse???

    lavenderskies replied to Newnurse65's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a lot of the signs are pointing to extreme performance anxiety. So embrace it. Acknowledge it. Mindfully move forward. Slow down. Purposefully choose to not worry about your coworkers...

    lavenderskies replied to Feelgood RN's topic in General Nursing

  7. 5/14 WILTW: Healthcare Gymnastics and Revolving Doors

    lavenderskies replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    On the advise of friends years ago we did just that. We have a king bed, and two twin comforters with matching duvet. Best.Decision.Ever. I also often put a king sized pillow between

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I really felt quite tame and appropriate compared to some of the other current uncensored threads going on at the

  9. Pre employment personality screening

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Lol, yes I found a position at a better organization with a better fit. Love the unit, love the managers, love the nurses, working through getting back into the swing with occasional snarky providers...

  10. Is it okay for RN to ask recovery patients not to swear?

    lavenderskies replied to SweetieBeeSandy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think his swearing was in context and a coping mechanism. Therefore I personally wouldn't have asked him to stop, I'd just focus on getting the pain under control. Now if he'd of been swearing at...

  11. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    If there is one thing I am confident in it is that I am exceedingly polite, accommodating and professional in my interpersonal interactions at work and personal life. Internet? Maybe not so much....

  12. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the thoughtful responses today. I can also appreciate that it is difficult to know I'm not causing a problem or really on the receiving end of snark without specific examples. I don't...

  13. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    This is my motto. I guess that's why I'm surprised so little has changed in the dynamics of healthcare interpersonal communication. I am never "quippy/clever/snarky" in day to day interpersonal...

  14. Too many preceptors

    lavenderskies replied to annRN27's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness I could have written your post. I'm going through a re-entry orientation because of time away from nursing. 1/2 way through I've had 7 preceptors. I have had similar feelings as you...

  15. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, there are a lot of dynamics. It's a super high volume L&D, and a ton of providers. They all have their quirks,--there's really no way to know them all until you've been there years. And...

  16. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    Okay no problem. I've never been accused of being too cute or too familiar but there's always a first time. I think my question is pretty clear and I'm not sure how I could clarify any more. Thanks...

  17. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    You don't understand why I'm receiving snark? Me neither. Because they're ******* that's why I'm supposing. Why are they *******? I don't know. I do know my new nursing coworkers say they're "always...

  18. Need standard response response suggestions

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I don't need something clever, just a standard coherent response to unsolicited undeserving snark. I suppose just ignoring it and moving on works, that's all I've ever done. But I figure I'm old...

  19. Good questions to ask my preceptor before orientation is over (cardiac stepdown unit)

    lavenderskies replied to boston.nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Ask them points they wish they'd of known when they were sitting right where you

  20. EMR learning curve

    lavenderskies posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious, when you converted to all EMR how long did it take for you to get up to speed and learn all the ins and outs of your charting program. We have a fairly detailed version of Epic with a ton...

  21. "Cell phone" vibration in your thigh?

    lavenderskies replied to srercg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    When I was carrying my cell regularly in my front hip pocket I started having these Phantom vibrations regularly. Like many times a day on the front of my thigh and in my foot. I've since quit...

  22. EMR learning curve

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    At least I'll be on the same footing as the rest of the staff at that point. We'll all be floundering together and not just me being

  23. EMR learning curve

    lavenderskies replied to lavenderskies's topic in General Nursing

    I know I'll be ok with it eventually. I love computers. It's hard for me to have all the info trapped in this one stationary location, I think because we have such high turnover my short term memory...

  24. Being blamed for fall after shift

    lavenderskies replied to notyetnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This right here is the basis for your defense should "they" continue to try and throw you under the bus. IF THEY CONTINUE I would consider talking to a union rep if you have one and or your...

  25. Delaying the newborn bath

    lavenderskies replied to PinkNBlue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    We put all babies that are not needing resus right skin to skin for min of an hour. Babies needing resus come skin to skin asap. Even in the OR. Baths may not be given until 6 hr
