1. Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

   paroxetina replied to StaffNurseMcS's topic in Safety

   This may be the case at your hospital, but not at mine. Unless there is a pattern of egregious errors without improvement, it is never punitive.

   I love when people post from an alternate account for privacy reasons, and then reply from the main account :)

3. CPR Universal Precautions

   paroxetina replied to ppsmi's topic in Safety

   you should be covering any open wounds, period. If you really have cuts up and down your arms, I would use bandaids to cover them and wear long sleeves.

4. Forbidden Extremity Sign and VTE in Arm

   paroxetina replied to lapizius's topic in Safety

   You did the right thing. In this type of situation, ask yourself what potential harm may come if you do NOT take action (not placing the alert band and sign, resulting in BP taken in that arm that could dislodge clot) vs. potential harm of the action...

5. Professional (Dis) Courtesy

   paroxetina replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, my internist's office has both RNs and MAs.

6. Professional (Dis) Courtesy

   paroxetina replied to compassionresearcher's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer. Some nurses want to be anonymous, and that's okay. Some nurses want to disclose, and that's okay too. Above all, communicate your needs and wants. You might say, "I am a nurse, but I'd appreciate it ...

7. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

   paroxetina replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   Most nurses will have significantly better health insurance through their employers than you would get through Target. Additionally, you would be unlikely to advance to earning much more than minimum wage as a Target cashier (particularly if that min...

8. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

   paroxetina replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   Taking the profession as a whole, I personally feel we are quite well compensated. There will always be problematic geographical regions or health care systems, whether the minimum wage goes up or not. Perhaps you are in one of these areas or systems...

9. It Ain't Like The Movies!

   paroxetina replied to madricka's topic in General Nursing

   My biggest pet peeve is when you have an "unconscious" (sleeping) patient, not on a ventilator, but the most prominent sound is the sound of a vent. Watch for it, and you'll never be able to un-see it.

10. Ice machine use in hospitals

    paroxetina replied to olcroner's topic in General Nursing

    This, x1000! I know that when I was a student, if I asked a professor/clinical instructor/preceptor/whatever what the rationale for his/her answer to my question was, and this person told me: "because I said so," I would infer that this person had no...

11. Fear of losing my license

    paroxetina replied to Aryea, LVN's topic in Geriatric

    Thank you! I am so sick and tired of all this "omg I'm going to lose my license!" bs. I promise you that doctors do not obsess about this the way nurses do. If you are doing your job to the best of your ability, and are reasonably competent, you are ...

12. Possible adult admit with minor child in tow

    paroxetina replied to Monkey Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I read recently (though I can't remember where, so I don't have a citation) that most deaths from pre-eclampsia/eclampsia occur after delivery because that's the time when she's not being monitored as carefully, or may be at home, and preoc...

13. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    paroxetina replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so it hasn't been charted on, but what was/were the patients diagnosis/diagnoses? Depending on the patient's condition (say, longstanding CHF), it could easily have been expected that an S3 gallop would be present and therefore may not have been ...

    paroxetina replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously?

15. Tag team elopement

    paroxetina replied to statcoffee's topic in Safety

    I believe prosec refers to the little black (usually) boxes that you hold your ID up to in order to unlock the door. Correct me if I'm wrong. As you've already realized, the little purple pill is Prilosec.
