  1. Gving all the meds all at once?

    I too want to thank the OP for posting this topic. It is by far one of my favorites debates to read so far. We are all a little wrong. We are all alittle right. The standards are in the middle and we all have the goal to stay as close to them as pos...
  2. Gving all the meds all at once?

    I don't agree with it and understand your concern. You need to document the time legally in a one hour time frame/ 5pm meds should not be given before 4pm and not later than 5pm without changing the MAR to reflect the change.
  3. PCA Problems!

    Your vent is understandable. You did what was reasonable and appropriate with unfortunately a poor unreasonable outcome. Hindsightedness always comes too late though. Live Learn.
  4. RN to BSN online

    UOW is University of Wyoming. The cheapest brick and mortar University with an on-line RN to BSN program that has been reported on here. Sad to hear about the problems...sigh.
  5. Not enough attention to BMs in nursing today!

    MOM is over rated. HOT PRUNE JUICE IS THE BOMB
  6. Nursing And Celebrities..........

    I took care of a famous author in their home for a few weeks and it was a wonderful experience. They really didn't need an around the clock RN, but could afford the pleasant convenience.
  7. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

    It is so shocking I was thinking about it at work today. Keep us posted. It is just too wrong to describe. If they canceled your insurance because they knew you would need it, they should simple GO TO JAIL....GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL...... Keep us posted....
  8. Heroic measures on a full DNR pt?

    If their temp is 104 will you give a Tylenol? It is the same principle really. I don't consider the doctors order aggressive but prudent. Just my opinion if it ws my MOM so to speak.
  9. Do I have a right to be upset?

    Well I think it is better, but still alittle rough. Glad you backed her in a corner and taped her mouth shut. Good for you. At least you Got the Lords birthday off so you can see your family at a good time.
  10. Calling in sick before the holidays

    I am in retail and to call in the day AFTER Thanksgiving means you probably shouldn't return to work. I was late last year and got docked two days tardy. WHY DO people shop at 4 AM anyway? The sales are no better than the following Saturday on half t...
  11. Does anyone like Med-Surg?

    You obviously work on a floor that is well oiled and nurse friendly. If you can set your patient goals and MEET them it is the most satisfying place to work.
  12. You gotta be kidding me!

    Here in Nevada it is not illegal to cam-record people in the bathroom............
  13. Nursing Judgement...A thing of the past?

    As far as criticl thinking goes, I am with you 100%. My problem is the forms themselves hold up in court better than nurses do. That is why the OP is disgusted. So even if I and the patient chose to override the form most institutions have a release ...
  14. A story I wanted to share. (Long)

    Your an angel.
  15. they cancelled my health insurance (I just had surgery)

    I have one thing to say ....woe. Dagger in my heart. Imustbecrazy, is not crazy she is right.
