  1. Pay rate poll

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in General Nursing

    These polls are not set up so that we can have specific questions in one poll to differentiate between nurses on different shifts, nurses with experience -vs- newer grads, etc. It would take separate...

  2. Pxyis Medication Administration

    NursesRmofun replied to Deb Howe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I absolutely LOVED it for PRNS, stat meds., or when a med was missing from the patients box. However, it is a different thing when you have to take all meds. given out of the PXYS. Still, it works and...

    NursesRmofun replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

    If you think it is rough here, try some other sites! They attack you if they disagree with you and leave scars! LOL

  4. Who's #1 your patient or you?

    NursesRmofun replied to rscarlatti's topic in General Nursing

    I have skipped a few breaks and lunches in my life, when I have needed to, but all and all, some things can wait until after lunch or for the next shift. It depends what it is. Certainly paperwork can...

  7. Pxyis Medication Administration

    NursesRmofun replied to Deb Howe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have briefly been exposed to this system, and you do get use to it. It takes some time. At first it feels like it will take too much time...but it is not so

  9. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You made so many good points! Especially concur with the prostate problem that is beyond our control. Most LTC facilities don't have curved tipped caths due to the cost. I also agree with the fact...

  14. All Bad Nurses - Please Stand Up

    NursesRmofun replied to bcelzo's topic in General Nursing

    Good nurse: 1) Eats less than 4.5 KK or Dunkin donuts per shift. 2) Answers call bells in 6.5 secs. or less. 3) Always says, "Can I do anything else for you. I have time." 4) Always agrees with the...

  15. Femoral Sticks In Scope Of Practice For Rn????????

    NursesRmofun replied to Learning RN's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge, no, it is not within a nurses' scope of practice. However, the best one to answer would probably be a radiology nurse or cardiac cath

  16. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I am pulling my hair out a good deal of the time too! I empathize! I am trying to get out of this management position and out of the facility myself. It's a lot to take. But if you really want...

  18. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't totally disagree with you about those with responsibility and not authority having a lot of stress....but I go to a lot of meetings and still have a lot of stress at times. I am salaried and...

  19. LTC is getting the best of me!

    NursesRmofun replied to NursesRmofun's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am sorry, but those are terribly broad generalizations and one person's experience. I worked as a hospital nurse for many years and rarely had those problems (in general) with nursing home patients....

    The charge nurse is the one chosen to organize the workload/assignments and assign the most qualified people to take care of each patient and situation and trouble shoot problems. It is a poorly...

  22. Do LPN's get the pay they deserve?

    NursesRmofun replied to Pedsnrs2003's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it went back and forth because it is a discussion and you asked me what extra duties and I told you. LOL. Yes, each state is different. Also, some specialty units here in NY are covered for the...

  23. Do LPN's get the pay they deserve?

    NursesRmofun replied to Pedsnrs2003's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as a hospital LPN for many years...then I worked for the same hospital as a RN. Just off the top of my head...Yes, the IVPs and transfusions through peripheral lines. Then the physical...

  24. Should nurses go back to wearing all white?

    NursesRmofun replied to stbernardclub's topic in General Nursing

    I really would dislike wearing all white, but I agree about it being confusing. In the last hospital that I worked for, people said they thought the higher ups encouraged all depts. to wear these...

  25. Do LPN's get the pay they deserve?

    NursesRmofun replied to Pedsnrs2003's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I agree that you may think that your job almost mirrors the RNs on your unit, but in truth, it may not- since you have never actually done the RN's extra duties. I agree all nurses should make...
