1. Outpatient Surgery Disharge Criteria

   Phase2Pro replied to olderthandirt51's topic in General Nursing

   Not all of them. Orthos, eyes, orals, vascular, and plastics do not have to void. Pretty much everyone else does. SDS unit in hospital which also covers endoscopy. Endos do not void either. About 40-50 cases a day and 30-40 discharge home same day.

2. Anyone else starting UTA Online January 2011?

   Phase2Pro posted a topic in Texas (UTA)

   I was accepted to the RN-BSN for UTA Online program to start January 2011. Anyone else starting with me?

3. Renal question

   Phase2Pro replied to licha's topic in General Nursing

   I did not know it should be changed if they had had a hysterectomy-it make sense though. Thanks!

4. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   Phase2Pro replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   The reason those patients are not in pain and you are is this...they had a camera shoved up their butt and you had your face peeled down and pulled back up. Plastic surgery hurts a lot...colonoscopy not so much.

5. Having trouble starting IVs on the hand

   Phase2Pro replied to CaliLVN3583's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand "floating it in" either, and I've been doing IVs for almost 20 years. Are you saying once you get a flash to withdraw the needle, hook it up to the saline and then continue to advance it? Since moving into periop I do a lot of ...

   How is this working out for you so far? Are you doing the online program or the the classroom?

7. What is the HESI?

   Thanks to both of you. I appreciate the info.

8. What does section "Practice Pending Results" mean from the RN licensure app?

   Phase2Pro replied to chickadeepie's topic in Virginia

   When I first applied it meant you were a "RN applicant" until you passed the nclex exam and you had 90 days to do so. I got a job right out of school, had 90 days to pass the test, and was designated as an "RN applicant" on my hospital ID and that i...

9. What is the HESI?

   Phase2Pro posted a topic in Online Learning

   Background- I am a diploma level RN with something like 118 hrs of random college credit. I was applying to a RN-BSN program online and they want to know when I am going to take this test. I googled it and it came up as an aptitude test? I have been ...

10. Can anyone tell me?

    Phase2Pro replied to Phase2Pro's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, I would never do that. When I withdraw a med for a patient, I give that med myself. I never hand off a med, ever. That is part of the irritation...I am doing my work and her work too. I did not realize that is what you all thought I meant was...

11. Can anyone tell me?

    Phase2Pro replied to Phase2Pro's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. Yeah, we "noticed" that she asks us to medicate her patients for her. It is pretty casually done..."hey, can you get him something for pain for me?" and of course, we administer it ourselves after a quick assessment. (We are in a small...

12. Can anyone tell me?

    Phase2Pro posted a topic in General Nursing

    Why one of the nurses I work with seems to not want to be on record in the pixis? She always asks someone else to get meds for her patients regardless of how busy we are. I can't quite figure it out, she will let her patient suffer until someone ha...

13. Do doctors really yell at you, and get away with it?

    Phase2Pro replied to copyandpaste's topic in General Nursing

    Once I said..."Did I get drunk and we get married during the black out? Because only my exhusband has ever spoken to me this way." But generally the doctors have been respectful. I did have one surgeon, whom I was not actually speaking to, literally...

14. Was I Inappropriate

    Phase2Pro replied to rachelita's topic in General Nursing

    I do think it is a professional boundary crossing but not a HIPPA violation unless you speak to a family member and not directly to the patient. I know it happens all the time and is relatively harmless, so I don't see why the PACU nurse got her kni...
