  1. Organ Donation Opt Out

    The OPT OUT is the main alternative choice to doing nothing at all. With the increasing emphasis in NY state for the hot pink MOLSTs, awareness of pt's wishes re: organ donation is paramount. If you want to participate, it is still your choice as...
  2. Nurses can't draw blood, its always hemolyzed

    Inservice for the ER folks?
  3. Rules for the ER (long)

  8. What would your first priority have been?

    And wheeling a pt to the lobby who no longer needs care is a lower priority. Now if the scenario had been about caring for a new admission vs. changing the linen, we'd have a different thread.
  9. What would your first priority have been?

    The pt with dirty bed had higher priority since you would be holding up PT to wheel another pt who is d/c'ed. She should have delegated the d/c to another staff member since the room is now available for the next pt. Sounds like a high-stress floor...
