1. Temp taken in butt??

   We NEVER take rectal temps. And our docs even think it's too invasive for pediatrics as well. I would question anyone wanting to stick anything in my rectum!!

2. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

   ladybugdivarn replied to Danielle7's topic in Relations

   First off....don't EVER apologize to a dr. regarding their patients. Just remember to prioritize what needs to be dealt with now and what can wait. But always remember that it is always inappropriate to yell at anyone!!

   ladybugdivarn replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

   You MUST ensure that the order includes the duration of the bolus. Ex. 500 ml bolus of NS over 1 hr. It is always a good idea to get it clarified by the physician in case there are underlying conditions that may contradict the bolus running...
