  2. The Truth About Nursing

    NursesRmofun replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    The money difference between getting my RN and what I was making as a 10+ yrs. experience LPN at the time was not a lot, considering. It was literally $5/hr. and change. In some ways, I was happier...

  6. Wrongful Termination?

    NursesRmofun replied to MEANNRS's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely sounds like a set up. A lot of states make it easy to fire someone for just about nothing or something ridiculous because someone in the higher ups is gunning for

    NursesRmofun replied to tenderfootjoe's topic in General Nursing

  8. Notes in 3rd person style

    NursesRmofun replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    By the way, I was a witness in a trial and the lawyer never asked anything about the way anything was documented as far as wording. He only wanted to point out a certain medication in the notes. But I...

  9. Notes in 3rd person style

    NursesRmofun replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is interesting. I thought the way we chart would be a standard since I am pretty sure that is what I learned in my nursing programs. I guess they should come up with a standard of care for...

  10. Report: Where do you work and what do you want to know

    NursesRmofun replied to Oh'Ello's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently preparing to go back into Med-Surg as my FT, primary job. Report from ER or OR/PACU/RECOVERY- I want to know reason for admission or what the surgery was, dressings/wounds, other...

  11. Notes in 3rd person style

    NursesRmofun replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would answer that the established standard in nursing documentation is not necessarily the same as the standard English language. The lawyer for the facility during the deposition would say, "Mark...

  13. Case study - what would you do?

    NursesRmofun replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Oops...late...deleted

  14. Scripting sounds patronizing

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Off topic a bit, but I just went thru that with the airlines! Had a flight attendant tell me she couldn't help me at all...BUT she was SOOOO glad I was there! hahaha As I walked out of the plane, she...

  15. Scripting sounds patronizing

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...but I prefer those over the ones that actually think that your experience somehow is lacking compared to how well they did in clinical or something similar.

  16. WELL, WOULD YOU???

    NursesRmofun replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing

    No!! BUT...they can use a body double that is a little more Scarlet Johansen-like.

  17. Why don't you just read the chart?

    NursesRmofun replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agreed.

  18. Why don't you just read the chart?

    NursesRmofun replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah. It stinks to know almost nothing and scramble to know something....and it usually happens when the patient is very sick too.

  19. Why don't you just read the chart?

    NursesRmofun replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If I had to sit down and read a chart, I'd be getting less done or will be later getting it done. The small amt of time it saves to get a verbal report versus "scanning" a chart allows me to give a...

  20. Another Case Study For Your Learning Pleasure

    NursesRmofun replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't read too many answers...just a few yesterday... but this seems like it could be several things. I could take a stab at an allergy of some kind. Dermatology and allergy consult. OOPS...see you...

  21. Incivility: Beyond the Nurse

    NursesRmofun replied to Jkaiservi's topic in Nurses Rock

    Good article. And it makes me wonder how you can fix a system (I'm talking hospital now that was a place I worked in the past) that seems to be bad from every angle. In this institution, I never once...

  22. Incivility: Beyond the Nurse

    NursesRmofun replied to Jkaiservi's topic in Nurses Rock

    I may know you, but I don't want to know if I do! I saw for myself what an environment that system was..terrible...lots of infighting...and ratting each other out. Some people worked their hours and...

  23. Getting back in the swing of things

    NursesRmofun replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    It's rough. I guess I usually get back into after a day or two...it's a shocker going back!....but it's been a long time since I was at a job long enough to *have* a vacation!

  24. How do you leave it at work?

    NursesRmofun replied to Newbie_RN17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
