  1. VA-Hospital Nurses

    How does the pay scale go, at the VA? Average wage for RN with experience?
  2. Worksheets--do you keep?

    The papers that you used during your shift, with your notes on it, do you keep them? Is it dangerous to keep them? Or do you feel that if something happens the worksheet will jog your memory, just in case?
  3. Patient suing surgeon

    The mistake must have begun in the OR and pleas to the surgeon went unheeded, for days.
  4. What liability coverage do you carry?

    My question is: if the patient is suing the doctor only, will his malpractice lawyers bring down the nurses with him? If they are just suing the doctor, won't the nurses be brought in to testify against him? Or can they just settle out of court be...
  5. Patient suing surgeon

    It is definite that the pt is suing her surgeon. She and family were happy/satisfied with nursing care, they said. They are not suing the hospital. Surgeon made mistakes BUT will he settle out of court or will his lawyers drag nursing down with him...
  6. Precaution Carts

    If we are putting them outside the MRSA rooms, why aren't we putting them outside AIDS rooms???? I know about the stigma of AIDS. Confidentiality is important to both! We do not put diagnosis on the signs! If we can put them out for one I think it...
  7. Transfusion too fast?

    What is the quickest you have run in a unit of packed RBCs? The doctor ordered a unit to be given over an hour's time. This scared me. I called Critical Care and they said they didn't remember giving any that fast and if they had, it had been many...
  8. Nit-picking between shifts

    It is strife between Day nurse's aides and Night nurse's aides. But one on particular, on Days, seems always trying to find "bad" things to tattle about, whether accurate, or not. It may sound childish, because it is!!! I am just sick of it!
  9. Nit-picking between shifts

    How to break this problem? Days insinuate that Nights have less knowledge. Making drama. Telling stories trying to make another shift look bad. Always hunting for things to get night shift on. Nights find things too but just takes care of things an...
  10. Deviated Tongue

    Have you ever seen anyone with deviated tongue that showed no signs of stroke, scans negative and no tremors? Lots of unilateral neck and head pain. Have you seen anyone who had deviated tongue that came out of it, back to normal again? While tongue...
  11. Psoriasis

    Has anyone seen good results for a cure of this terrible heartache of a disease?
  12. C-Diff

    Are you seeing a lot of C-Diff? There has been so much lately, it seems. Not knowing a whole lot about it and researching it online, some articles say "no cure" others read antibiotics are making people more susceptable to getting it and more article...
  13. LPN to RN wages

    What are they starting out at, if they were an LPN for maybe three years?
  14. Let's say an LPN works for many years, goes to school, earns BSN, has much experience in many areas, as a nurse. Great evaluations, too. Is an RN for years and still is not making what other nurses are who have not been there as many years. Does yo...
  15. Smelly Co-Worker

    Could she be one of those people that are just too afraid to go to a doctor?
