I probably would not have stopped paging the doctor and documented with quotes his refusal to see the patient in a timely manor. And then pages his supervisor or attending and apologize for calling them, but said resident isn't responding.

Maybe sit down with a picc nurse and talk about the ins and outs.

Money is everything. I need a specific date off that coincides with our rotating already scheduled for us weekends. Well our incentive program changes before the date. Someone said they totally would cover for me, but because they won't get their extra incentive to do so they won't pick it up...it's cool I didn't need to go to my sisters wedding.

Stay away from Carhart.

I adapt quickly and I ware on people the longer I'm with them. Having just one home unit would not end well.

I worked at two magnet hospitals as a cna before I graduated. Both are ranked number one and two in staff turnover. One of the floor directors found it to be such a headache that he left the hospital and the system for a floor job.

I pick up 4 hour shifts all the time hoping I just get to task.

Well hopefully you work at my hospital because I'm off for the next three nights. I had a 8 day lay off a few weeks ago and I came back to an email describing what they found. Was excited that I missed it...nope was I missed were the words from another facility in the system.

I wore some nike shox that we're all where with grey shox. All white shoes are idiotic. I know rock pretty much any pair of pearl Izumi or mizuno.

They bought everyone a new cardio III stethoscope.

Personally I feel, never take a pay cut if you don't have too.

Starting IV's is all about getting a comfortable routine that you can replicate. Getting comfortable with almost perfect conditions to get to the point where you'll be successful in less-than-perfect situations. Know your landmarks, finding a vein is easier when you're looking in the right area. Get as many attempts as you can, 2 per patient, but as many patients as you can. Working in a trauma hospital it is a little easier to get opportunities. Follow facility guidelines but rotating iv sites(don't remove old access until new access is in). Starting a second IV on patient going down for surgery, procedures, or patients on multiple iv meds. Also if I'm in the icu/ccu etc I'll discuss starting a second IV with them as a precaution. Kind of rare for them too only have one. But I feels it's unsafe. Try and anchor the vein a little lower and to the left or right depending upon which handed you are. When you do this watch how the vein moves to account for the slight variation. Gives you a little clearer point of entry. Just random thoughts. I typed a few thousand words on the matter for a nursing student budy of mine and orientee that are with me.

I'm alright with myself. I prefer the term murse.

Residents, fellows, and attendings always in the building. Never had to use one.

Borrow a classmates book for a day, scan every page, give it back too them.
