  1. Virtual Nursing

    esrun2015 posted a topic in General Specialties

    My hospital is setting up to do Virtual Nursing. These nurses will help with admissions, discharges, and a second set of eyes for meds/skin assessments. I wondered if anyone is already doing this and...

  2. Virtual Nursing

    esrun2015 replied to esrun2015's topic in General Specialties

    They are setting up cameras in the room that can zoom in so close you can look at IV sites, etc. The cameras can't

  3. telemetry orders

    esrun2015 posted a topic in General Nursing

    At my facility, the current orders for telemetry monitoring calls for 24hr, 48hr, or 72hr. But as you know, some patients are here for days or weeks. I recently had a patient who had been in hospital...

  4. Nurse Lunch Break Survey

    esrun2015 posted a topic in General Nursing

    If this is not allowed, please delete it. I am trying to see if there is a trend or just my facility. Thanks! Area of employment: Leadership_________ Staff Nurse _________...

  5. staffing ratios

    esrun2015 posted a topic in California Nursing

    I would like it if anyone could tell me what the current CA mandatory staffing ratios for hospitals are or where I can find that information.

  6. PCU/Step-down

    esrun2015 posted a topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Didn't know where to post this since there isn't a section for PCU nurses. My question is what are your nurse-to-patient ratios for PCU/Step-down? In my hospital, there are five PCU units. I would...

  7. Nurse Lunch Break Survey

    esrun2015 replied to esrun2015's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have been a nurse for 30+ years. When I started, it was expected for you to work through lunch, eat at the desk, and on the run. It is just ridiculous. I believe nursing is one of the only...

  8. Physical Assault by Patient

    esrun2015 replied to Kitkit24's topic in General Nursing

    File a police report. This is assault. Even if your facility says no, it is not up to them, this is about you and that person should be held

  9. Management Criticism: "We see you care a great deal…"

    esrun2015 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    every word

  10. Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    esrun2015 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I have worked with many amazing LPNs in the past. But my current hospital will probably never do this, because of the Magnet status. So instead they have hired a lot of foreign nurses, who have...

  11. Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    esrun2015 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, Emory did the right thing. We all critical of patients but hopefully in private with our co-workers. But to put it on social media, that was not good. And to record it while working, well that is...

  12. We’re all being “fired”! Is this legal?

    esrun2015 replied to Taylor22's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, just wow. A number of things stand out. You say you don't do chemo now so the ONC certification requires I believe you have to have been a oncology nurse for at least a year and you have to have...

  13. Nurses, Do You Feel Valued???

    esrun2015 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Yes and no. Some patients are appreciative and thank me, others act like I am there to serve them. Co-workers for the most part at great, but they are too busy themselves to be of any help. The charge...

  14. My Coworkers are Driving Me Nuts

    esrun2015 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    So how would you handle this if it is the charge nurse with these behaviors. When I worked nights, there was a charge nurse who slept at the desk all the time (they did not have any patients) and now...

  15. Breach of Contract

    esrun2015 replied to integrativenurse's topic in Travel

    I read my contract and it said nothing about employee handbook. My pay was cut by 1/3, but I only had a week remaining on the contract. That hospital cut all the travelers pay at the same time. We...

  16. Breach of Contract

    esrun2015 replied to integrativenurse's topic in Travel

    I find this interesting. I have had several friends, who travel contracts were whose contracts were either cancelled effective immediately (not for anything the nurse did) or the travel pay was cut...

  17. Vanderbilt Nurses

    esrun2015 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    My question, how many of you are thinking of quitting? I would not work there for any amount of money. They absolutely covered up the case and threw Radonda under the bus. And I realize no...

  18. Vanderbilt ICU Nursing

    esrun2015 replied to hcurry9's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    you got that

  19. cancelling contracts

    esrun2015 posted a topic in Travel

    Can the facilities cancel your contract without any cause or warning? There are rumors going around that they are going to cancel all the contracts and over half the staff in MS, ICU and ER are travel...

  20. Can't get covid at work

    esrun2015 replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A month ago we had a patient who was on the med/surg floor, was swabbed for placement (after he had been there a week). They tested everyone who had been assigned to him and no one came back positive....

  21. Can't get covid at work

    esrun2015 replied to missmollie's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yep exactly what my hospital network is saying. If you test positive, unless you can prove you got it from the hospital, you are out of luck. And if you are positive, you have to take a phone call...

  22. Nursemates alternative

    esrun2015 replied to rubysasha's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have found that spending $80/twice a year for shoes is much better than paying a podiatrist or to ever having plantar fasciitis ever again! I currently wear Brooks GTS ($130/pair), but they keep...

  23. Am I moving to fast?

    esrun2015 replied to dnurse14's topic in Nursing Career

    Just go for it! If you are not sure you can handle the ER pace, maybe you can ask if you can job shadow for several hours, this way you can see if you would like it and they would get to know

  24. What do you think? My mother is told she is a drug addict by her primary care physician

    esrun2015 replied to lhome's topic in General Nursing

    What is your mom's general overall condition? Do you think she would qualify for hospice? I'm just throwing this out

  25. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    esrun2015 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    Curious as to what NSUA stands for, from a lazy night nurse! and no I'm not working
