1. The Patient I Failed

   chloeysmom replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Relations

   Absolutely fantastically written. I do want to share one thing...HER FAMILY FAILED HER. I am only 32, but have a lot of health problems and have spent this entire week going over what I want/don't want to my 2 MPOAs. I will also show them this. T...

2. I Am Disturbed

   chloeysmom replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

   I never reviewed the original post. I would like to say though, that even some of the best seasoned nurses that I know have BIG TIME spelling problems, and grammar. I do too. That is why the computers we chart on have spellcheck built in.

3. Nurse as a Patient, treated badly, wanting to rant

   chloeysmom replied to chloeysmom's topic in Activism

   So I am thinking I will do all you say. Contact everyone. Most of all my insurance because I be damned if I will pay a cent to them. I am in process of writing the letter. Your opinion is what I need. This is what I have done, I have stated the f...

   ***This is a very long story, but I have to get it off my chest, as I would have never dreamed of a patient, let alone me, being treated like this*** I am an RN (10 yrs experience in both med-surg and icu) who was just recently diagnosed w/ gastropa...

6. RN to Respiratory therapist

   chloeysmom replied to Lia~PasteL's topic in Career Support

   I have looked into this very same thing. My problem was this: RTs make a lot less money than RNs do, (at least in my state they do). I hate to have to take this into consideration, but I have mouths to feed. Good luck in your decision!

7. Need some advice... can I change my start date?

   chloeysmom replied to CalypsoRN's topic in Career Support

   Have you considered calling the Human Resources department and asking them if they have anyone who can assist you in finding a temporary place to live (paid) until you find a more permanent place to rent/buy, or whatever you plan on doing? Have you a...

8. what exactly is micu and sicu????

   chloeysmom replied to Suz_QRN's topic in MICU

   I have worked both ICCU (intensive cardiac care unit) and Med-Surg floors and they are just too different to compare. When I transferred to ICCU after 5 years on med-surg floor, I felt like a brand new nurse. I personally feel like you should aim for...

13. Nurses not following doctors orders

    chloeysmom replied to platon20's topic in General Nursing

    I also agree, we were trained to follow doctors orders, plain and simple. But what if it harms a patient? I sometimes question a doctors order (because I have been here forever, and I believe they trust me) if I think it will be harmful. Example, rec...

14. Re: blood transfusions

    chloeysmom replied to vhrn's topic in General Nursing

    What about blood running into a port of a central line? Can other fluids run into another port that is not NS and it not be harmful?
