  1. Tying Patient Satisfaction to Medicare Reimbursement is Problematic

    I have such a strong opinion of these patient satisfaction surveys, but so little space to provide it. What I'll say is...I have yet to find the sign in my hospital that reads "the customer is always right" or "have it your way". I don't coddle peo...
  2. Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    Me and you both! If only we could stop coddling these people.
  3. Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    "I think I'm butt-pregnant" - was concerned after having sex via the out door. Not very intelligence, to say the least.
  4. What is CEN, or CCRN?

    You do not have to re-test to recert your CCRN. You can earn 100 synergy CERPs or re-test. I recerted in April without having to retest.
  5. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    There are entirely too many Sheeple in this world who do as they're told rather than doing RESEARCH, naming no names...laidback Al. We are in a profession that prides itself on being evidence-based. Where's the evidence that vaccines are beneficial...
  6. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    Last year my hospital said get the shot or wear a mask. This year they are saying the mandatory flu shot is a condition of your employment unless you have a medical contraindication to the vaccine. I have worn the mask 2 years in a row, haven't got...
  7. Vent: "I should warn you, I'm a tough stick..."

    "I'm a hard stick" is like nails on a chalkboard for me. Starting lines is my favorite task, and I'm pretty good at it, if I do say so myself. I'm an ER nurse, I do this day in and day out. I don't use a 22g unless I HAVE TO!!! A 20g is my go-to, an...
  8. University of South Alabama MSN program

    Does anyone know anything about the Advanced Emergency Nursing program at USA? Or the CNS with Nursing Education subspecialty program? (The AEN is a dual specialty FNP/Adult-Gerontological Acute NP program.) Any info would be greatly appreciated. ...
  9. Number of agencies?

    I see, thank you so much.
  10. Number of agencies?

    Hey all! I am tossing around the idea of traveling and, of course, have a TON of questions. But, I'll keep this post to one. When traveling around the country taking 13 wk assignments, is it better to be with only one agency or multiple? Trying to...
  11. Levophed vs. Neo

    I have given Levophed through a peripheral line many, many, many times. There has only been one incidence where a line infiltrated, Regitine was given, and there was no necrosis, at all! In a perfect world all pts receiving pressors would have a ce...
  12. Levophed vs. Neo

    While it isn't ideal, Levo can be run peripherally. We have to do it a lot in my dinky ICU.
  13. How much lorazepam have you given....

    I have given a total of 28mg of Ativan IV to a DT patient in 12 hours. And that dose did NOTHING for him - he continued to kick us, spit at us, and call us names. I was also giving haldol per our withdrawl protocol with no result.
  14. Modifying tasks when pregnant. My boss says "no".

    Look, you're pregnant, not injured. Unless you are high risk, with or without complications, you don't need light duty. Yea, you're gonna be more tired than usual, and yea it's gonna be more difficult to sleep, but all that is gonna be whether you ...
  15. pressors and sepsis

    Awesome, thanks ya'll!
