2. ICU vs Travel nursing

   Triddin replied to tindera's topic in General Nursing

   It takes a while to fit in with new coworkers. Give them time and I'm sure you'll be considered part of the team. I don't think it's recommended that one goes into travel nursing with so little experience. What support to you perceive that you're lac...

6. Risk for Aspiration - Should a nurse go against physician orders to raise HOB?

   Triddin replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in Career Support

   I'm curious as the clinical reasoning behind keeping the patient supine as this is not a drug I'm familiar with. Could you have turned the patient to their side? No longer an aspiration risk

7. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

   Triddin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   Your story raises red flags with me, and I don't think it confirms the point you were trying to make, but its partially it's because we don't know your background and experience. Were you icu/ Er trauma trained at this point? Had you cared for vents/...

8. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

   Triddin replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   It was a horrible event and the nurse screwed up, but I can guarantee you that every error made is from not doing checks or having a momentary lapse of judgment. You will make errors, which may or may not have severe consequences. Your level of anger...

12. Care Plan Help-Liver Cancer and Cardiogenic shock secondary to SVT.

    Triddin replied to ericamarr's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say infection is a current priority based off the evidence offered. It sounds more like a " risk of" at best. Low hgb really has no bearing on infection, neither does liver cancer, unless he is being treated with chemo and has become immun...

13. Mandatory Vaccination

    Triddin replied to degfnp's topic in General Nursing

    Many hospital policies leave me wondering why; however, the fact is either you accept their terms or not work for them. However, think of it from the organization's perspective. An employee gets sick with the flu, because they couldn't get the vaccin...

14. Scared.....No Nursing?

    Triddin replied to Name9335's topic in General Nursing

    Before I call the doc, I've learned to have done an assessment for the pertinen details and I've written down what I think I'd important for them to know (I swear I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes) so I have my pertinent points. Some doc's wa...
