  1. Don't be an Autobot

    dlgrn715 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    It's simple: scripted phrases = better ratings = higher reimbursement. Or so they say. I just can't do it. I have to be myself and friendly. To me, that means a lot more and shows that you really do...

  2. Does working at a small hospital make me less of a nurse?

    dlgrn715 replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked at a smaller hospital for almost 20 years. I have not worked anywhere else. But I imagine that at a bigger hosp you would never have the same atmosphere or experience as in a smaller...

  3. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    dlgrn715 replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    I agree! I worked almost 20 years as a floor nurse, loved my job and had hoped to retire there... Until I became so stressed out due to anything that was added to patient care was added to the primary...

  4. Should I have volunteered to stay overnight?

    dlgrn715 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    No, I would say it is not your obligation to stay. I had to learn to say the word no, took me a long time. If you had just finished a shift, how is it safe for you to stay overnight? And then get very...

  5. Being Pulled into the Office for calling CAT

    dlgrn715 replied to ryuunohime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The MET or CAT or whatever team that you called (it's RRT - rapid response- at my hosp) should have been the ones to check a blood glucose if it had not been done already and the MD could also have...

  6. When did you last see a nurse wearing the old school garb?

    dlgrn715 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I work with a nurse who went to the same school I did, only I believe she graduated about the same time I was born - the early 70s. She still wears the same white cap that she earned and even wears...

  7. Why become an RN to do computer work?

    dlgrn715 replied to Wayne47's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I just came across this question. I hope there is a better understanding of the answer to this question by now! Who else would we want to set up our admission assessment questions and anything we...

  8. Doctor stole my stethoscope

    dlgrn715 replied to ayejay09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have both of my stethoscopes engraved with my name on the bells. I also have a "tile" on it. See the description and my pictures below. I have my tile secured on it in a manner that no doctor will...

  9. Thinking About Changing My Career Path - Should I become an RN and wait to have children?

    dlgrn715 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    If you decide to go into nursing, I think going back to school before kids is by far the best choice. Nursing school is very tough! I've seen many struggle to be able to handle nursing school and...

  10. Is it okay for RN to ask recovery patients not to swear?

    dlgrn715 replied to SweetieBeeSandy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm thinking that asking your patient not to swear was very effective (even while he/she was still coming off of anesthesia) as evidenced by the fact that he stopped! I've had quite a number of...
