  1. Patient assignments during pregnancy

    saskrn replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    no big deal! :) stand your ground with this pregnancy

  2. Looking for an MRI

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in International Nursing

    I can't encourage you enough to fight! What else can a person do? Please let me know what happens, if you don't mind, when that time comes. There's nothing like saving money by sticking it to the...

  3. Looking for an MRI

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in International Nursing

    Unbelievable! Why provide surveys if concerns aren't going to be addressed? Have you considered taking your concerns to the media? It's funny how government takes notice when that

  4. Patient assignments during pregnancy

    saskrn replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    in this neck of the woods, as well as others that i've lived in, it can been perceived as a derogatory term. it's a simple respect issue, i think. i know that if i were pregnant, i wouldn't like...

  5. Patient assignments during pregnancy

    saskrn replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    i kind of figure that if you can't do your job, you shouldn't be there. i may sound harsh too, but imo, pregnancy is no excuse. if she can't do her job because she's pregnant, than she should try...

  6. Barcoding Medications

    saskrn replied to mspringer's topic in General Nursing

    I've used the bar-coded meds in conjunction with the bar-coded ID bands. The system was called EMAR, and was used in conjunction with Meditech. I'm not sure if that's the sysytem you're referring...

  7. Looking for an MRI

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in International Nursing

    I am so sorry that your family has to go through this! It sounds exhausting. I commend you for your perseverance and patience. I'm sure you are a far nicer person than I would be, in this...

  8. Looking for an MRI

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in International Nursing

    It's a little cooler today, around -13, but yesterday it was melting. :) Of course now we have all of the ice to contend with. I have almost met the pavement more than once. We have a bit of a...

  9. Can you write a word "error" when correcting mistake in charting?

    saskrn replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    What a nightmare. What are the odds that you would pick her password. Good

  10. Looking for an MRI

    saskrn replied to saskrn's topic in International Nursing

    Excellent! Thanks so much for the help! I just called them, and they told me everything I wanted to hear. I need to get my leg fixed up, and apparently the waiting list for an MRI here is pretty...

  12. Any RN's....can I have some help here???

    saskrn replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't study for the NCLEX, so I can't really help you there, but I've seen alot of activity on other threads about this topic. You might want to try a

  13. Lexapro

    saskrn replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in Psychiatric

    IMHO, I don't think blackbird did anything wrong. I think he/she was just stating what he had witnessed in the past, and obviously it was upsetting to him. Please don't attack or condem him for...

  14. Can you write a word "error" when correcting mistake in charting?

    saskrn replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was trained to draw a line through the mistake and write "error". But then I was "updated" and told to draw a line through the mistake and write "omit". I guess writing the word "error" admits to...

  15. Any RN's....can I have some help here???

    saskrn replied to Debbie_LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I second what weetziebat said - the Bates physical assessment book is quite good, IMHO. In addition to the drug handbook, I can't live without my IV drug book. I am very surprised that they don't...

  16. Shocked and angry. Need new job.

    saskrn replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the most memorable mom I ever had was 18 yo, and she was in active labor with her 5th child. Her 5th at 18! She was obviously at little more, um, advanced than I was.

    saskrn replied to jrring1019's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Bariatric patients are not quick discharges at all. They prove to be a heavy patient load (no pun intended!). I have seen many, in different facilities, and they were all pretty much the same - they...

    I know. At first, I thought it was just a sick joke, but unfortunately it's true. What is the world coming

  22. Nurses being victims of workplace bullys.

    saskrn replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely nothing was done. It is, of course, a tense situation that everyone is trying to keep under wraps. One of the nurses who has worked with these women since the beginning was telling me...

  24. Nurses being victims of workplace bullys.

    saskrn replied to HarryPotter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this really belongs in this thread or not. The "bullying" situation got so bad here recently, that two RN's in one of the ICU's actually got into a physical fight. One RN pressed...
