  1. Fired Again ~ HAHAHA!

    If there are standing orders for a nurse to follow than by all means. But what happens at night if you are out of parameters for the standing orders??? If there were standing orders and I was adhereing to them that DON would have been one unhappy pe...
  2. Should nurses go back to wearing all white?

    When I worked the floor I hated white with a passion - it was hard to keep clean even on a medicine floor much less with surgical patients. But I do agree that older patients are easily confused by all the colored scrubs. In our ICUs all the nurses...
  3. Fired Again ~ HAHAHA!

    I agree with 3rdShiftGuy --- While this DON sounds like an ultimate idiot :rotfl: the nurse was practicing out of her scope. Like he said, holding the insulin is a nursing judgement for the protection of the patient but she should have contacted th...

  10. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

    Third Shift Guy - In California they were suppose to change the nurse to patient ratio - however I have yet to see that happen, at least at our facility. It's really sad for the patients and the staff. Often times our 1:1 patients become 4:1. Than...

    Have you tried any of the VA hospitals? There are several in the southern and northern california area. Since they are federal they often accept foreign licenses. The pay is "iffy" but the benefits are by far some of the best. I agree regarding Te...
