3. Main IVF solution compatibility (specifically LR)

   fiveofpeep replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Patient Medications

   Yeah we have a chart but LR is not on it. It's just not realistic for me to look up each drug each time. Our internet is too slow and my patience is too short I guess as a last resort, I'll make my...

   Hey Everyone, I have been doing some extensive internet searching but can't seem to find a reputable source that details IV solution compatibility with IVPBs and drips. Specifically, I want to know...

5. Thoughts about Neurosurgical/ MS-ICU

   fiveofpeep replied to reygrjr's topic in MICU, SICU

   If you aren't ready then don't go. A good supervisor wouldn't push you into something like that if you don't feel ready. You sound genuinely scared about it and if it made you hate nursing before,...

9. gossip at work

   fiveofpeep replied to ohmeowzer's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   My new unit is like this too. I feel like every time I turn around, they're gossiping. It drives me crazy. It makes me feel really isolated and paranoid. I just keep to myself and don't socialize...

10. New neighbor slipped through the cracks. What do I do?

    fiveofpeep replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah that's what I figured. Maybe he refused follow up care. It sounds like he wanted to get out of the SNF at all costs--not that I blame him--so maybe he had to sign out AMA? I dont

11. New neighbor slipped through the cracks. What do I do?

    fiveofpeep replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and according to the friend, he can't even transfer out of the chair without assistance. When the friend left him, he was sitting in the couch and refused help to get back to his chair. That's more...

13. New neighbor slipped through the cracks. What do I do?

    fiveofpeep posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am so upset. A neighbor moved in and one of his friends was telling me that he is wheelchair bound and just got out of a SNF and has no family resources in the community or health care professionals...

14. assaulted by my patient--one year later

    fiveofpeep replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is so true but it's also disheartening. In my state it's supposedly punishable by fining to not have lift help, but they can obviously get around it somehow. There needs to be enforceable

15. assaulted by my patient--one year later

    fiveofpeep replied to fiveofpeep's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So you're the one I see leaving notes in the chart that say "Dr. So and So please change your charting to reflect blah blah blah?" I always wondered who that was. This sounds very interesting and a...
