  1. Was I in the Right Here?

    Actually most hospitals I have worked at (traveled med surg to 10 states) have policies for med administration, and administering the med at the closest available port to the patient is the standard appropriate intervention. And flushing after each m...
  2. Was I in the Right Here?

    Sounds like time for a new specialty. Are you interested in pursuing a job where you don't have 33pts?? Inpatient nursing, pacu, pre-op,clinics, public health, etc... Almost everything but long term care/rehab is going to be an improvement
  3. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    Sounds to me like you're planning ahead to fail, instead of planning ahead to succeed. The only actually appropriate options are to resign and leave, which will probably screw over your coworker's vacation altogether and be a jackass move, or to con...
  4. Do nurses tend to be enablers?

    I think that the nurse in the original post is not just an enabler, but she suffers from a lack of personal boundaries in her relationships. It probably exists in all her relationships,not just that one. When you allow other people's wants and desir...
  5. Rounding oral liquid medication and IV/IM

    Depends on how precise the med is. If critically important, I would draw it up in smaller syringes. If this is something where it is less precise, I will draw it up to halfway between two lines, if I need the number in the middle.
  6. How many med errors to lose your license?

    Not every error is automatically reported to the BON. Did your employer tell you they were reporting you? If it a grievous error, like something that has seriously harmed a patient, it probably depends on why and how it happened. Was it gross neglig...
  7. "do not rehire" in nationwide HealthStream database

    HCA hospitals are some of the lousiest ones in the country, and they do DNR people for a variety of bogus reasons. It shouldn't affect you outside of their systems, but there is very little to nothing you can do about it now. I would just look elsewh...
  8. Feeling like you're complicit in the addiction problem...

    My husband is 31, and has had a life full of injuries, culminating in a car wreck that has pretty much left him disabled from working. Unfortunately, he got to experience part of the problem with narcotics that this country has. When he had the acc...
  9. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Very well stated. I worry about a hike like this because it essentially decreases my purchase power by about 40%, and it's not like insurance companies are going to pay hospitals more, or hospitals pay nurses more, just because of it. It will probab...
  10. Need the real truth. Are all EDs like this?

    Where are you all at, geographically? I am curious about how location affects staffing practices.
  11. EpiPens....who knew?

    To the person saying "maybe arcane rules at schools like having to abide by manufacturers expiration dates is why homeschooling exploded in the last few decades"....... As a homeschooled graduate, I would say no. The rule males sense for liability pu...
  12. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    and you think that you have the right to demand answers from every caregiver you have, as to whether they own guns? I don't think so. You deal with people who have concealed carry weapons all the time- but because they are CONCEALED, you've got no ...
  13. Does being a Travel Nurse REALLY put more money in your pocket???

    homeschooling is wonderful thing. I was homeschooled, and I cannot imagine a better way to learn and explore the world, than traveling around the country and learning as you go.
  14. Crisis/strike travel

    I am originally from Wisconsin- and I really supported their anti-union legislation recently. Previously, when I was looking for jobs in WI, I did not really see ANY differences between union and non-union positions, in the way of staffing, or pay, e...
  15. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    You know, i lived on less than 8k a year for living expenses etc, when I was in college- it wasn't all that bad, especially if you divide out the cost of rent/utilities six ways, too. The problem with that example is that kids don't result in extra r...
