   Finally2003NP-C replied to Binu Francis's topic in General Nursing

   I teach the final level of M/S at a local college. This person's eventual understanding of what she is and what she represents is inspiring as well as sobering. You get out of your education what you put into it. Shortcuts and not taking advantage of...

7. Dilaudid IV Push

   Finally2003NP-C replied to hdreserve's topic in Emergency

   I agree with 2ndwind, this is totally insane. IV push Dilaudid with no direct nursing observation, no intervention/followup is just asking for a lawsuit. As usual another administrative directive with little (none) thought attached.....

    Finally2003NP-C replied to Maverick80's topic in NP

    Only $1200 for malpractice.... mine is $1600 and only if I do not see pregnant folk. You do not want to contemplate that figure. My first malpractice bill was $39, way back when I had the sense to work as a staff RN.
