  1. DNR

    Sounds alot like my situation. At least you got some feedback from the MD to clarify why this situation was not a "resuscitation," but a correction of an emergent situation. Thanx! ------------------ Keeping the Faith
  2. DNR

    This may have seemed like a frivolous exercise, but in my experience as an agency nurse, I have been told everything from withholding CPR to withholding suctioning, insulin, and enteral feeding when they had already had a PEG tube placed. It is very...
  3. DNR

    So if the person is suctioned and their airway is cleared, their heart continues to beat - would applying O2 and bagging them until they begin to breathe on their own be a violation of a DNR order?
  4. DNR

    So if they stop breathing, or need suctioning to breathe, does that mean that you would not suction them? CPR - Cardio Pulmonary Resusitation. As long as you are not "bouncing" on their chest in an effort to re-start their heart, would you conside...
  5. DNR

    I would like to hear what everyone's understanding of what "Do Not Resusitate" means to them personally, as well as in workplace policy. Also, are there other terms used to confuse such as: Do not transport; Do not intubate; No CPR; No antibiotics; ...
  6. Nursing Theory--do you use it?

    NO
  7. I AM FRUSTRATED.... I GIVE UP...

    I live in Hartford, CT - original home of the insurence industry. Think about this! CIGNA Healthcare recently announced that they will begin construction of a 18-hole golf course and luxury hotel and conference center for the SOLE PURPOSE of THEIR ...
  8. RN test review suggestion needed

    Try "Frye's Nursing Bullets". You will get short pieces of info you need to remember, instead of having to read through a whole chapter. It is worth it's weight in gold! Good Luck!
  9. Yes, there are so many options

    Honestly . . No, I would not. It saddens me to say this. When paper is valued more than people, when downsizing to increase profit is valued more than quality of life, it's time to re-calabrate our thinking. Patients don't make my job stressful, ...
  10. career confusion

    Zoloft is your answer! Seriously, we are all feeling the pinch these days. Check out the Concerned Nurses Group on HospitalHub's BB. Together we can make enough noise to be heard! We are trying to do something about just what you are talking about...
  11. nurse diploma

    This is addressed to a personal e-mail I recieved from: C. Visconte. I was unable to send my reply due to a flaw of some kind with the e-mail address you sent. I hope this is the BB that inspired your comment. Please write me back via the personal m...
  12. nurse diploma

    Sakeena, I graduated from a BSN program - but I do have some insight into the ADN program. I chose the BSN program because that I knew that down the road, it would be hard for me personally to get back to school once I was working and raising my fam...

  14. NP's Abilities

    Yes! And they do in many states including the one in which I live. Presently, I am enrolled in an NP program of study. I TRUELY believe that NP's are more consevative in medicating, try more holistic remeidies first, spend more time with the patien...
  15. NCLEX and first RN job

    After you send the required NCLEX testing form, and recieve confirmation, you just schedule your test at a testinng center. Depends on how soon you send that info in. I knew people who took the test a week afer graduation, but I HIGHLY suggest that...
