    Multi Use Vials

    PediLove2147 replied to soozabel's topic in Patient Medications

    But then, I'll use the same senario as KelRN, you would need to stick the patient twice in the instance of NPH/Regular Insulin. It is standard to mix these two and in order to do that you cannot use a...

    Would you trade a great team for an easier floor?

    PediLove2147 replied to RNlmk's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I agree with everyone here. My coworkers are one of the main reasons I am where I am still. It's definitely not the population I want to work with (our floors are actually very similar) but they make...

    4 weeks notice?

    PediLove2147 replied to eileeny21's topic in General Nursing

    I worked private duty and my family wanted 6 months! The agency only required 2 weeks though. I gave them 4 because I could. Enjoy your new

    Do I sound like a terrible nursing assistant??

    PediLove2147 replied to blondy85's topic in General Nursing

    Don't beat yourself up, some days are harder than others to get everything done. Prioritize (which it sounds like you did) and go from there. Those patients will be washed tomorrow. If you are really...

    Do I sound like a terrible nursing assistant??

    PediLove2147 replied to blondy85's topic in General Nursing

    At my facility the NAs put in pain level when they do vitals so I can see what you did being correct. Regardless, the nurse had no right to be

    New Nurse can't eat lunch

    PediLove2147 replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with everyone else, she can't expect other nurses to do her work while she is on break. I would be pretty upset if I was getting "report" (we give a very quick run down) I was told I needed to do...

    Asking all nurses...need a consensus!

    PediLove2147 replied to EquestrianRN's topic in Patient Medications

    At my hospital they mean the same thing. Our computer system only allows you to scan a TID med Q8H. I agree with you

    How do you all like to start your shifts?

    PediLove2147 replied to j_tay1981's topic in General Nursing

    I work both days and nights but mostly days. I get in at 0700 and get report, we have something called "safety huddle" so I usually don't get in to see my patients until 0800. I do meds and...

    New grad just hired- have to choose which unit I want

    PediLove2147 replied to kwarren826's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    PediLove2147 posted a topic in Pediatric

    I worked nights so I had some time to browse the intranet, well I looked around HR and there they were: 3 brand new 36-hour peds positions! I have been at my current job for a year now, it's an...

    PediLove2147 replied to PediLove2147's topic in Pediatric

    I know this is a little old but I wanted to give an update since I am very excited! I have a meeting with the pediatrics nurse recruiter on Friday! I figure, even if it doesn't lead somewhere now, she...

    No cna's ??

    PediLove2147 replied to littlenurse23's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I definitely agree with this. I sometimes would rather do it myself with some of the CNAs we get. I would be able to do it if I had to but I've had the luxury of always having CNAs so it would be...

    Funniest Things Doctors say!

    PediLove2147 replied to RNdiva505's topic in Nursing Humor

    I had a patient that broke her arm and was in a sling. She needed to see PT so I asked the doctor to put an activity order in, I figured I would get the normal: NWB RUE. Nope, "No

    No cna's ??

    PediLove2147 replied to littlenurse23's topic in Medical-Surgical

    It's not knowing how to do it, it's having enough time to do it all. I honestly don't know how units run not having CNAs. I hardly get my work done as is. I am too curious your (OP)

    Soiled Scrubs Mid-Shift

    PediLove2147 replied to TheBlackDogWaits's topic in General Nursing

    Grab a pair from the OR. If your soiled scrubs aren't too bad, put them in a plastic bag and wash when you get home. I mean what you are really getting on them that makes you think your family is at...

    Degree Without the Major Imprinted On It?

    PediLove2147 replied to Denroc72's topic in Indiana State University

    I wouldn't worry too much. I've never had to show my diploma. Usually they'll just check that you have your nursing license, you can't get that without a degree in nursing so they know you
