    Unit Dose Woes

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

    EKUGRAD, you read my mind. These blister packs are worse to open than before. Most make you push them through and they break. My wife keeps telling me to clip my nails, but I really need some length...

    Caught my first louse today!

    MrNurse(x2) replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Did an impromptu inservice at my son's Scout meeting where there were three teachers. Lots of misinformation jumping around out there. Worst nightmare always gets me, but more amplified as a family in...

    Last days of life

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

    I always ask the family of my end of life patients if they prefer them comfortable asleep or awake, then do a true pain assessment when they awake, if that is the family's desire. Dilaudid 3mg q3...

    Ice packs

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

    I have a non existent budget. My PO pays for my bandaids,meds and ice packs. I felt guilty requesting documentation software, but felt the school and I needed the protection it offers. Even a portable...

    Teaching classes

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

    My principals are awesome at producing well rounded young people, not just academically prepared. This was genius! There are eighth graders who have never needed to

    Teaching classes

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

    I can address the boy part, tell them to stand as close to the toilet as they can and aim for the middle. I can't believe this is an issue, but I think a lot of boys are not taught this basic skill. I...

    Guess where I found a tiny piece of cardboard?!?

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

    My son put a stick on eye, with the loose pupil, in his ear. Urgent care doc put him in a papoose AND left. He yelled at me when I took him out of it for the 5 minutes he was gone. I proceeded to let...

    Ice packs

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

    My wife was amazed that they threw them out, she has started a trend, there are other employees asking for them for their lunchboxes, etc. My kids took the foil packs for Boy Scouts to reheat...

    Communicating with your staff

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

    I work with this woman at the hospital who I constantly clean up her day when I follow her. Not figuratively, literally, she leaves med packages from the whole day at the computers, leaves syringe...

    Asked to Move to Another Floor?

    MrNurse(x2) replied to aurora119's topic in General Nursing

    Did your NM give you constructive criticism or just that suggestion? I suggest going back to your NM and stating that you want to grow in this position and ask for specifics that you can work on. Ask...

    Hydration for Nurses

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

    Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. I have to admit that I rolled my eyes when I read the title (sorry, I was SO wrong) as another whine that we can't keep drinks because of JCAHO or any of the...

    New nurse and feeling so discouraged

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

    Nursing is a career, not a job. You can't consider yourself experienced until that third year. My heart goes out to every new nurse that has had to endure orienting since the NCLEX changed format and...

    Splinters - To remove or not to remove

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

    There is an Amish drawing salve that I remember my Penna Dutch parents smearing over a splinter. I believe it worked, but may have been a placebo

    EPIC FAIL

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

    I have found that the higher the level of care, the easier it is to overlook the basics. My wife was in shock trauma and the nurse said she may have to wait for surgery and have an external fixator...

    Every parent of an allergy student I know screams it from the rooftops. This mom may be lashing out because of her own guilt for not telling you

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

    It is probably a good idea for any "blue hand" presentation to assess neurovascular status first, if good CRT then have student wash their hands with warm water to see if it gets better. From a...
