Dear RN,
When Charting patient’s refusal of medication 💊,
Don’t just say
❌Patient upset/angry, refused meds"
✅better say this;
At 15:30pm, This RN approached patient for scheduled medication .
Patient was observed tearful, pacing at bedside, and speaking in a raised voice. When asked what was wrong, patient stated, ‘I’m tired of all these medications you people are giving me; they are not helping and they make me feel worse.’ Education was provided regarding the significance of the medication and the potential risks of refusal, including worsening of condition and delayed recovery.
Patient stated, ‘I understand what you’re saying, but I still don’t want it.
They are not helping me.’
Patient remains alert and oriented to person, place, time, and situation, no change in mentation was observed.
Attending physician notified @ xx:xx
Plan of care Ongoing.
Here is the reason why you need to document like this , assuming something happened to the patient and your chart get audited, the jury will clearly see the intent, effort and that you know what you are doing.
Cheers 🥂

Dear RN,
I’ve seen lawyers, engineers, biochemists, food scientists, and many others switch to Nursing after Japa.
To every Registered Nurse and Nursing student in Nigeria: Hold your head high. Don’t let anyone gaslight you.
You’re in a great profession ,you’re just not in the right environment yet.
Keep pushing. Your market is international.
It’s only a matter of time! 🇳🇬

In nursing school my female class mates will always tell us the male nurses that we aren’t their standard, fast forward to 6years post graduation and I’m seeing all their husbands, some of them resemble turkey 🦃 😭😂 is this the standard?

@rachealray295 Please do not fuel this misconception we are trying to bridge for a very long time.
I trained with some female nurses as virtual assistant and they are also doing 9-5 job
Again, some female nurses have what theydo before they become nurses for example some are fashion designers
English

You know the saying that nurses are prostitutes and this posts indirectly is fueling that same statement
1. Not all nurses are earning that 80k I for one started with 140k in 2023 as a new grad
2. Side hustles (I sold two bonestraight last week)
Your post is a bit mischievous
DANNYMAX@DannymaxRn

Dear RN,
There are unwritten rules in nursing that no one ever teaches you.
If you’re planning to practice your nursing profession internationally, you must be intentional about bridging your knowledge gaps. There’s so much to learn.
And yes , understanding those unwritten rules is just as crucial!
Cheers 🥂

@XenoVerseh You will soon be rejecting 280k just know what you are doing and position yourself
English

@XenoVerseh Very unfortunate... However, my advise is to scale 📈 up your knowledge both live and virtual. Wishing every dedicated nurse success 👍

@rundriveng Thank you for this chief 👑.
Make I run edit my report first 🙏😊

Dear RN,
There’s nothing like breathing normally!
However, statements like “breathing normally” are too vague and subjective for clinical documentation. Documentation must remain objective, clear, and measurable.
Correct example:
“Respirations are equal and unlabored. Lung sounds are clear bilaterally on auscultation. Respiratory rate: 18 breaths per minute. SpO₂: 99% on room air.”
That’s objective, precise, and defensible.
Cheers! 🥂
