Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Thursday, February 25, 2010. That 24 hour chart check. I'm growing increasingly tired of the antics of other nurses. She said, "You must have nothing better to do than go through all of the charts and find mistakes.". She replied, "Just leave them there and the next nurse can sign off on them.". She still didn't get it. You're kidding, right? You make mistakes, too.". I told her t...

Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Tuesday, November 5, 2013. I've been floating a lot more lately. When I am floated to a ward, I do a quick assessment of the staff: how many are Evil and how many are Unknown. It's not safe to put anybody in the category of On My Side or Neutral. We had "Dina,". Who is on a rampage against other women because they are after her boyfriend. Somebody must have reached Jean on her cel...

Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Sunday, April 26, 2015. The hospital fired someone, finally. Unfortunately, she was my friend and a good nurse, and didn't deserve this. And yes, they can do the same to me. I asked of each storyteller. "No," was always their answer. After work I went to fired nurse's home, as she was not answering her phone. She explained the set-up, carefully timed for the weekend to limit t...

Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Saturday, March 7, 2015. Or "Nobody told us that the patient was supposed to go somewhere.". One had her head upside down, brushing her flipped hair. One was applying blue eye shadow while peering into a mirror. One was smearing lipstick on her already red lips. And the other was plucking chin hair with a tweezer. They didn't notice me standing in the doorway. I left. I no longer ...

Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Thursday, August 27, 2015. Last year, in the height of the Ebola scare, the employee health doctor angered quite a few people by refusing to allow employees back to work after a vacation to Africa followed by two weeks of sick time. If I did this, I would be fired. For others, administration allows this to go on. Administration intervened and allowed the banned employees back in.

Nursing Notes of Discord: None of your Business

Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Sunday, July 19, 2015. None of your Business. I had a little procedure done and took some time off. The patients made me a big card. One of the nurses brought it to me. Some of them are so sweet. Inside, one of the know-it-all orderlies. The nurse pointed this paragraph out to me. "He's something," she offered. How do some people have so much nerve? Wow, how arrogant! Im growing i...

Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Monday, August 3, 2015. I would prefer working ten hour shifts four times a week. Or at least I would like to try out that arrangement. Everywhere I have worked has only offered eight hour shifts and doubles of sixteen hours. A day off during the week would be nice to get things done that cannot be done on Saturdays and Sundays. Sunday, August 9, 2015 at 1:34:00 AM EDT. Yesterday,...

http://nursingnotesofdiscord.blogspot.com/2013/11/anyone-can-make-positive-difference.html
Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Tuesday, November 12, 2013. Anyone can make a positive difference. If you want to make a positive difference in people's lives, you can do that anywhere. Not just in nursing. You might make a difference in nursing. As a nurse, you will probably deal more with paperwork and administrators than you will patients. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Visit Enid's profile on Pinterest.

Nursing Notes of Discord: Fault of Someone
http://nursingnotesofdiscord.blogspot.com/2015/08/fault-of-someone.html
Nursing Notes of Discord. Stories about the experiences of a registered nurse. You are not alone! Now working the Psych Ward. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. One of the specialists dropped in to consult on a few patients. My role is personal assistant. I mean "nurse." Orderlies bring patients and the charts (heavy, falling apart binders with papers shoved everywhere) to the exam area. The orderlies scold me as if they are in charge. Not a new theme. Their two main issues center around:. Saturday, August 8, 20...
