    ER rushing patients to the floor

    MrNurse(x2) replied to freckles23's topic in General Nursing

    Throughput and ER wait times are the buzzwords in customer service based healthcare. ER docs see a patient and may take 30 - 45 minutes to decide to admit. This means the patient has at least an hour...

    Poll: What age group?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to villageRN's topic in School

    K-8, littles make me smile, but come in for everything. Third through fifth are polite, respectful and a dream. Middle school, they are fun to interact with but have a little attitude thrown

    So over the hygeine talk

    MrNurse(x2) replied to ana010's topic in School

    It really comes down to our societal norms and if it is worth it pursuing the norm. Funny that with all the cultural diversity that academia loves to embrace they take issue with this. You may want to...

    Should I pursue my dream?

    What? I have to participate in the Open House?!?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Jacquipals's topic in School

    I am sure it is an admissions open house for private schools to attract new students, normally done in January or February. I would let parents know your vaccination requirements and deadlines, med...

    Teaching Breast Exam to High Schoolers.

    MrNurse(x2) replied to janetpa's topic in School

    This was 15 years ago, but it struck me how young he was. No one knew how long he had it, he may have been in denial, like the women who come into the hospital with cauliflower breasts, or he may not...

    Got myself a puzzle...

    MrNurse(x2) replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    I stayed far away from that. I didn't even want to wish him to Rest In Peace for that

    Had a coworker who lost her 18 year old nephew to testicular cancer. He just went off to freshman year of college and found dead in bed. It does strike younger and

    Teaching Breast Exam to High Schoolers.

    MrNurse(x2) replied to janetpa's topic in School

    We at private schools are a bit freer in our time, no IHPs, 504s etc. I am going to teach one day a week as well. Looking forward to

    Should I pursue my dream?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to mwilburn's topic in General Nursing

    So here is the voice of truth. I preface it all with, I love nursing, there is nothing else I would want to do. That being said, furthering your business degree is far more lucrative in terms of...

    Ridiculous things. This is a new one one me.

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Cattz's topic in School

    The cycle of poverty has many causes and unfortunately poor parenting skills is a major one. I am inspired for what you are doing and trying to impact these children and possibly changing the future...

    code signs

    MrNurse(x2) replied to mbarakhan18's topic in General Nursing

    Do you work a cardiac unit? That is the only reason I can think of that you are seeing "surprise" codes due to arrhythmias. QTc readings can possibly reduce VT. I have to say that since the...

    K and mag values overlooked

    MrNurse(x2) replied to mikasa's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Being floated creates a mental block on its own, unless that is what is expected of you every shift. I am assuming you were floated to a m/s floor, that can present another obstacle, perception. You...

    Feel like I'm too dumb to be a nurse

    MrNurse(x2) replied to coconut3431's topic in General Nursing

    The PCP was upset... at his/herself for not following up and lashed out at you. There is a health care team, you are part of that, and it is our responsibility to keep physicians focused on the...

    Sick of floor nursing, what now?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to r0seRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Your request isn't that crazy. I left floor nursing after decades, and it is the best decision I have ever made. No matter what area you look in, you will make less. Home health deals with 1 patient...

    No Respect

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    I have seen a similar attitude with new NURSES in the hospital. They come out acting as though they are anointed by God and can do no wrong, they are going to change the world and they have never...

    Be honest: do you feel valued by your employer?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to sunnyskies9's topic in General Nursing

    I had worked at the same hospital for my whole time, saw 5 parent company transfers and have seen the devaluation of human resources. When life happened in the 90's, people were given time off with no...
