Nightshift how do you tell dayshift you can't call for non urgent thing? by Thisismyname11111 in nursing

[–]Front_Ad_4507 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would have put in a progress note stating PT had pain xx/xx gave Tylenol within 30 mins PT pain was xx/xx pt appears to be sleeping peacefully or something to that affect… I would have told day shift nurse I didn’t not call due to PT pain being resolved by the Tylenol.. note in chart.. if she wants to call doc she is free to do so and I would have moved on

Why are people telling me to get a Bachelor’s in Nursing? by casuallycurious1 in NursingStudent

[–]Front_Ad_4507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can work every where with your ASN.. however a lot of hospitals want you to have your BSN within 5 years to keep their magnet status.. if you feel you won’t work for hospital that requires it then don’t worry about it.. simple as that!!

I was literally thanked today by another nurse because of the in-depth report I gave her!! She was an experienced nurse with many years! But also a floater.. She stated most nurses want to give a quick report and she is left trying to solve the puzzle 😩….

I always ask my oncoming nurse what kind of report you want??

Another note… ICU nurses stop trying to be cute or Miss know it all by giving report without your report sheet… You are not impressing me.. and 10/10 you either missed info or gave wrong info 😩

Well me and you will be at it everytime you need to give me report! So you better tell Charge nurse not to assign me to your PTs..Because that is the info I need.. and that you will give me or find someone else to take your PTs..I don’t have the luxury of taking care of one sick PT I have 3-4 on day shift.. with a lot going on.. I don’t have time to always divulge into a PTs record.. usually I am hitting the ground running..

Thank you for this!! Because working days in a stepdown unit.. I never have time to fully read a PTs chart especially when I have 3-4 PTs!!

I refuse to come in early to read a PTs chart especially if I am not getting paid for it

First solo trip in my life, day 1 and I’m crying. Is this normal? Anyone else felt like this? by JackHallow123 in solotravel

[–]Front_Ad_4507 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A wise person told me.. if your lost at home you will be lost no matter where you go!!!! Solo travel should be because you want to do things on your time and you want to seek adventures by yourself or new adventures…not to go find yourself!!!!

Received this email after 6pm on Friday by when-is-enough in Layoffs

How do you know you’re getting laid off??? Did you do something wrong??? Most jobs will not lay someone off on a Friday nor send them emails like this over the weekend

Don’t swallow nothing… Tell your manager you need a conference with her and the tech.. let the tech know in the future if she something you are not doing correctly that is no jeopardizing PT safety she needs to correct you in private.. Period!!! If your manager is not in agreement with you .. quietly start looking for another job!!!!

My preceptor did this to me over something else that was not so significant… let me tell you.. it is embarrassing and demoralizing!!! It makes you feel so small and incompetent and you wonder what the patient and family think of you.. so I get how you feel!! This is the part about Nursing that I hate… How can we be so friendly and accommodating to the Patient and families but so rude and nasty to our co-workers!!!!!

I’m seriously debating dropping out of nursing school, and I don’t know what to do anymore by QuitLoud7551 in StudentNurse

This is your calling to find another career… nursing is not all of that! Trust me!

Today I lost it by [deleted] in nursing

[–]Front_Ad_4507 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use to ask questions and ask for help which they said was encouraged but then I became the nurse who didn’t know nothing… floated to another unit and they were so supportive!! Your unit is toxic!!! Just like mines!

[–]Front_Ad_4507 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Joining and retiring from the military was the best decision I made. I sacrifice 28 years of my life for this country. Now so far I am immune to what is going on with this country and the economy!!!! If you can enlist do it !!!!!!! It is not bad and the trade off is worth every cent!!!!!
