  3. How to answer this?

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of did that. I talk about my experiences which made me realize how important diversity is and what I learned from it… etc. so. I am bringing this perspective and spirit of inclusivity to...

  5. EBP in psych

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Career

    Oh OK. Well, as I said close observation q15, COWS, Columbia Suicide scale, use of restraints (though restraints are not favorite and ebp is trying to reduce its use)… cant think of anything else...

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately I haven’t done any extra work when it comes to research or project. I was on wound committee. I worked on tele, ICU and finally in psych. I am applying to psych NP Program. I was...

    I am preparing my NP school application and I am possibly overthinking it but I am stuck on one particular question. Describe your experience with EBP? I am not sure what they want to hear. Do I just...

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello, I am applying to a graduate school and they want three LOR from a person in managerial/supervisory role. I already secured two from my two managers and was thinking of asking my...

  11. Is charge nurse considered supervisory position?

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Career

    At my facility it is mostly the nurse with most experience (and who has been trained) but we are rotating (I am also one of the charge nurses on certain days

  12. Giving False Bad Reference

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I recently learned about this situation that happened on my floor. One of our charge nurses used to date another team member who left the hospital and moved to another state. When looking for a job in...

  13. Giving False Bad Reference

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    One of my coworkers who I trust told me what happened during the week I wasn’t there. When he told me that I remembered what she said about the other nurse and how she has to tell the “truth”....

  14. Giving False Bad Reference

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    I am not entirely sure if it was HR but it definitely was someone from the other hospital asking for the employee who is a reference. They were put on hold and then charge nurse answered the phone....

  15. Immense guilt

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had to post here because I am not sure how to cope with my emotions after three rough shifts in the morning. Today is my day off and I just can’t let it go. So, to make story short, we were...

  16. Immense guilt

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks to all who responded. Yes, I know PICC lines stop drawing blood sometimes. But in my case it stopped flushing (only one port, the one I drew blood from in the AM). The other one where dopa was...

  17. Chest Tube LCS

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This patient’s chest tube was not connected to suction for 30-45 min due to transfer to another floor and faulty suction on a new floor (before it was corrected). Is this a safety issue? How bad is...

  18. Chest Tube LCS

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I am back today and feel like everyone thinks I am incompetent and almost killed a patient. Probably all in my head but can’t help

  19. Chest Tube LCS

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    It is a practice at the hospital (possibly with exceptions) to transfer with no portable suction. So far all of the pts I received from ICU were without suction (actually I have never seen a portable...

  20. Chest Tube LCS

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    There was no portable suction. ICU transferred pt to us without one. Our suction wasn’t working, it looked like it was but it wasnt. I tried fixing it (nearly injured myself) and it was already 7 pm...

  21. Chest Tube LCS

    FutureNurse0201 replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your responses, these clarify some of the confusion about CT. My pt had CABG surgery three days ago, was transferred from ICU and in that process between transfer and our suction not...

  22. So tired of bedside nursing

    FutureNurse0201 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I had a “situation” with my manager the other day and that was it for me. I work on a busy floor where we usually get 4 patients (vs 6 that I had in previous hospital) and I thought that would...
