  3. The Enemy... The Nurse Manager

    There is a saying, if you don't like the way things run, get into a position to make a change. Sick and tired of people complaining that wont give feedback to the NM and wont give suggestions. Not all NM are great, but the ones I had have tried. The...
  4. Ethical issue? Treating a 101 year old patient

    Exactly... there is one flip side. There comes the financial ethical dilemma of who is paying for this. I think Keytruda goes for 6-8k a pop. Although I'm not completely sure
  5. Med-Surg/Oncology, please enlighten me.

  12. OCN versus ONS chemo biotherapy certified

    even then, there are so many new drugs that the chemo courses do not offer it. competency relies on the nurse, not on a certification. Rules of administering safe chemo, chemo ordering rights if the doctor is allowed to, knowing drug interactions an...
  13. OCN versus ONS chemo biotherapy certified

    I have both. I think the biotherapy class is a joke(online). Atleast for me it is. It is good for the initial certification, but followups and learning the meds listed is kind of pointless sometimes. There are new meds every month and the only way to...
  14. Implanted Ports & Heparin Flushes

    unless you are locking with 5000u/ml i wouldnt worry about flushing the heparin down the line. it is usually a small dose and it shouldnt be an issue, Even if you flush TPA down the line(cathflo) the half life is so little.
