1. Bio 202 via PCC

   trainer2070 replied to lilmac81's topic in Arizona

   I took them online from the same college. I also took BIO 201 in person as well, so I could see what I missed from the in person lab component. PC uses the cadaver lab, so I got much more from the in person class than I did the online version. If I w...

2. Leather Restraints Question

   trainer2070 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

   It depends on the facility. I've worked at hospitals where as security, I had to "assist medical staff in applying the clinical restraints". The facility I currently work at, when clinical restraints are ordered, security applies the restraints and t...

3. ED Safety: Assaults up, drug calls up, security down

   trainer2070 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

   I think its a joke how most hospitals don't take security seriously. I understand the customer service and friendly environment, but you need to keep people safe too. I work at a level 1 trauma center in the middle of a high crime area, I have more t...

4. Tasers, Pepper Spray, and Attack Dogs...Has hospital security gone TOO far?

   trainer2070 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

   Things can happen in any ED across the country. This is a town of 24,000 people in the middle of Nebraska, not exactly a crime hot spot. http://www.kearneyhub.com/news/local/article_45bbfa53-298c-5404-a15e-7adfb9901efd.html As far as I'm concerned ho...

5. Work place violence

   trainer2070 replied to erqueen66's topic in Emergency

   Unfortunately, I don't think most hospitals take security seriously. Personally, I think hospital security officers should have more training and should also have fitness standards. They should also be provided with the tools necessary to keep themse...

6. Student Athletes Nursing

   trainer2070 replied to jst81161's topic in General Nursing

   Clinicals will be the difficult part. This is much the same scenerio as several years ago when colleges frowned on student athletes being athletic training students. While it's pretty easy to work around your off season schedule, it is nearly impossi...

7. Policy on patient leaving AMA with IV in place

   trainer2070 replied to trainer2070's topic in General Nursing

   The LEO's we work with will bring the patient back only if they have physicians orders saying the person for x reason can not leave the hospital ie if they're being petitioned and bolt during the process. If the orders do exist then they want a faxed...

10. Policy on patient leaving AMA with IV in place

    trainer2070 replied to trainer2070's topic in General Nursing

    I need to clarify, the patient left with IV still in place. I've always been under the impression that were still liable for them and PD is notified. But someone higher up isn't concerned with them leaving with the IV still in place.

    trainer2070 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know it very's from hospital to hospital, but what's your general policy regarding patients going AMA who still have their IV in place?

13. Do you just turn the homeless back out onto the streets?

    trainer2070 replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in Emergency

    Here our shelters are full and the over flow shelter is just as full. We deal with dozens of homeless everyday and a a few hundred for the weekly total. Its the same people time and time again. They have the system down pat, I have chest pain, SOB or...

    Anyone have any information on what Albuquerque's like? I'm going to be moving there in the next few months to finish school and I'm trying to get a feel for what its like.

15. Can your license be revoked over assault?

    trainer2070 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    You also have to take into consideration the population she works with. Not saying the OP doesnt have a right to be angry and hurt, but the statement of putting a chain through the windshield and pulling someone through it to use as a punching bad mi...
