  1. I have read this whole thread and have resisted jumping in. Back in the 90's, a nurse I worked with had problems with driving home sleepy. She was a single mother with two children and worked full-time nights (eight hour shifts). She was either n...
  2. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    So you would talk to a family about not having peds experience? Have you ever gotten in trouble from admin. about it?
  3. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    I am guessing you couldn't use as a defense (if something terrible happened) that you were floated to an unfamiliar unit. I am still amazed that hospitals are willing to expose their staff and hospital to such potential problems just to save some mon...
  4. Breastfeeding support by HCPs

    DebblesRN: Thank you so much for addressing the visitor situation. Really, that is the big problem that I see consistently. Number two would be lack of staffing/time. I wish I had a nickle for everytime a baby was just starting to latch on wel...
  5. If these problems occur (and I think they will), who will we complain to? We won't be able to complain to the government. Who regulates, oversees, or disciplines the federal government?
  6. So this pt will probably be going home soon? How will the family deal with her care at home? (When she falls because they get her up.) When she becomes injured at home/or needs to be readmitted due to her dx, does your facility HAVE to take her back?...
  7. Interesting morning....

    "They can make immunizations from these donors." Please tell me more about that.
  8. How about restraints for the family members! Geez! They are interferring with the pt's plan of care and with hospital policies, they need to go.
  9. Caring nurse turned Raging *****

    What good advice. How can you find a "good doctor" to get your tyroid checked? At the practice I go to I can't even get to see the doctor. They will only let you see PA's unless you are dying. The PA's, God bless them, seem unwilling/unable to do o...
  10. Advice?My sons friend is acting strange.

    Could the father somehow be the cause of the boy's problem? The father doesn't want the boy to say anything or anything be discovered by a Dr.? Possibility of drug use? Or, Dad could just be the kind of guy we all know that thinks a boy should jus...
  11. rotator cuff surgery

    Anyone care to share how they injured their rotator cuff or did they just start to have symptoms (shoulder pain) that required a repair?
  12. I'm a pregnant postpartum nurse . . .

    You are right. You need to stay away from those boards. It will just drive you crazy. Those people usually don't know what they are talking about so you won't be able to change their minds. Besides, you are one of "those nurses", they won't believe...
  13. As JoPACURN mentioned, she/we who work in the US Health Care System, have many concerns about being sued. If our US Health Care System becomes run by the Government, where will patients go to complain about the care or lack of care. You can't really...
  14. Dysfunctional Hospital - Terrible Ethical Situation

    I am not very familiar with "Safe Harbor". How could our OP have initiated it to help her on that shift? Would it have helped her and her pts. enough, and in a timely manner? How could she initiate it without putting her job at risk? Has anyone here ...
  15. Tylenol for newborn fever?

    That's great. Every unit that I have ever worked on seemed so h... bent on getting the baby bathed in an hour. Another thought (please, I am NOT starting a debate), I wonder what effect getting the Hep B vaccine in the delivery room has on infant ...
