  1. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    The Visitor had their cpap? That's

  2. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Terrible story....and, yes, nurses can make mistakes. I always listen to a patient that says that's not my med....even if they are confused at times. That is sad that that is why you'd feel you'd need...

  3. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I would agree that a lot of patients don't want some of their visitors anyway! But they probably don't have the guts to tell them to just stay home either. And I agree it's a social thing some feel...

  4. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, that situation with the guy and his son did not sound good. *cringe*. Yes, I did figure most family/visitors left by 10...but then there are the "others". lol Those are the ones I'd worry about...

  5. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Yep...that's LTC....but I think I did work in at least one that did have visiting hours. It's not common

  6. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. I did look at the copy of the JC page briefly earlier today. The wording in the Joint Commission summary is good. I can deal with

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds reasonable. Thanks for the

  8. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to hear that! UGH! This is exactly what I meant too! Hope it never happens again. When I was hospitalized, I was lucky enough to have a private room. Not sure if all the rooms were private or...

  9. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I really do believe in visiting hours (limits) for the sake of most everyone involved. It worked well (at my last hosp. job) when people left by 8 or 9 p.m. I only had maybe 1 of 5 patients family...

  10. Why so many 3-11 jobs at nursing homes?

    NursesRmofun replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in facilities/hospitals that did actually have both 8 and 12 hr. shifts. So, the employee could apply for either or switch over to the other, eventually. I did once enjoy 3-11 when my...

  11. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Like I said, I thought a few with visiting hours must still be around. 10 p.m. and an overnight person, if wanted, seems

  12. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Great info!

  13. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks....I figured there *might* still be some visiting hours out there! haha Yes, I'd sort of worry about getting a disagreeable visitor with a "ready to go home" patient that wanted to "party"...

  14. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    It may very well be "old fashioned" since I have not worked in a hospital in several years, which probably would seem like forever to a younger person. I only worry about the volume if there are...

  15. No visiting hours?

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    I last worked in a "specialized" post-surgical area and we had visiting hours. At least I think we did....or people just naturally left by 9! lol I am not saying I went around counting the minutes. I...

  16. Please don't call me Dude

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I like Moonbeam....but it gives a hint of ditzy in the background,

  17. Please don't call me Dude

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Yep...I am Ms. Nurses here in the

  18. Please don't call me Dude

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, I am also 100% Northerner transplanted for a few years. LOL The Honey and Sweeties usually come from older folks, so I don't mind. A few times it was a 20-something....but I just let it roll...

  19. Please don't call me Dude

    NursesRmofun replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I address people by their names but tend to mispronounce many of them. There are some challenging ones. I don't think I'd ever call someone Dude only because so many people (especially if they don't...

  20. Don't talk bad about your patients

    NursesRmofun replied to BrendaH84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last year, when I did an overnight as a *patient, the nightshift did a report for the oncoming dayshift in my patient room. This was the first time I had seen it either as a nurse or patient by...

  21. Nude nurse goes nutty

    NursesRmofun replied to chopwood carrywater's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe that was her defense....Your Honor, it was very hot that day here in FL (110, check the weather

  22. Don't talk bad about your patients

    NursesRmofun replied to BrendaH84's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I usually look at these sort of offgoing shift reporters like they are a little nutty or exaggerating. I guess the look is "skeptical". I have never had one (report) as bad as you describe. I do...

  23. Nude nurse goes nutty

    NursesRmofun replied to chopwood carrywater's topic in General Nursing

    Naked? No. Attacking patient? No. Now, somebody else...maybe priceless!

  24. Nude nurse goes nutty

    NursesRmofun replied to chopwood carrywater's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say, all the large amt. of humor aside, that she probably has an underlying health issue or psych issue. DUH! to

  25. This week, I have learned..... (6/13)

    NursesRmofun replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This past weekend, I re-learned that I am only one person, and sometimes, though I'll try my best...I can't do all the work or the work of 2-3-4
