  2. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Yes...I really want to know missing info. In reality, I would ask the ER doc if he wanted the lasix given before the labs came back or should we wait for them. The doc is right there and easy to ask....

  3. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Yeah. What are her vitals, is she peeing?...I think "we" have 10-15 mins to wait for labs while we

  4. What would you do in this situation? (If you know it all ;) )

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Since the patient does not appear (from what you said) to be in distress, I'd monitor while waiting for labs because they usually come back quickly. I'd get the Lasix ready and have it

  5. How to Answer "What's Your Greatest Weakness?"

    NursesRmofun replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    I find this question very hard. But I never did sit down and try to reheorifice it because I just didn't know what the "right" answer was. I did tend to say the same thing most times lately (and I had...

  10. Should I do more??

    NursesRmofun replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    Seems the office is run by a receptionist or office worker and she, naturally, is going to want to take some work off of the office workers. Also, I think the docs don't really care about who does...

  11. How can I increase the morale on my unit?

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

    I don't have the golden egg answer either, but what I dislike (hate) the most is a staff that doesn't get along or work well together. That has sent me packing more than most things. If I am work with...

  20. How much of a pay cut is worth the name and experience?

    NursesRmofun replied to mooshgigila's topic in General Nursing

    I am a "seasoned" nurse, and, in order to work in a place I'd prefer to work, I just took a BIG pay cut from what my experience should pay. I didn't even negotiate it...I just wanted the job. I'd say...

    NursesRmofun replied to Jacqueline.Damm's topic in General Nursing
