1. RN's asking Dr.'s for medical advice

   HHRNurse replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

   We've been told we cannot specifically go to the ER doctor to ask for a prescription but if we want to ask our own PCP or one we work well with that is fine. The doctor can always say no. I think of it as a professional perk. Once I was working and t...

2. Ever write up an attending for yelling?

   HHRNurse replied to mskate's topic in General Nursing

   I have written a doctor up for yelling at me loud enough that patients complained about hearing it. He did go to administration and he was told to apologize to me but he didn't. He has been nice ever since however.

5. Vaccinated in Poland and about to begin nursing school

   HHRNurse replied to Pimpushka's topic in General Nursing

   You should be able to call the health dept in Poland, or wherever you got the vaccines, and get another copy faxed to you in English. I have a friend from Belgium who just successful did the same thing. Best of luck with nursing school.

7. new job as a new nurse and I am 11 weeks pregnant, Tell them now or wait?

   HHRNurse replied to cgilmour26's topic in General Nursing

   I would wait until the end of the 90 day period and when you tell them you can act like you just found out. A lot of women with irregular periods don't know they are pregnant until they start feeling movement. Good Luck in your career and with your n...

9. Do you believe in life after death?

   HHRNurse replied to Piecukonis's topic in Hospice

   I definitely believe in life after death. I have been with too many patients at the time of their death and could literally feel their soul leave this earth. Nothing left in the bed but a empty shell. I've seen too many patients taling about their lo...

10. Nurses in their 60's or 70's

    HHRNurse replied to Otessa's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked with quite a few in their 60's and several in their 70's. They work just as hard as the younger nurses. I never hear them complain. They continue to work because they want to. I admire them.

11. Taking NCLEX-RN in 2 days! Can you all give me suggestions

12. PORT A CATH ISSUE!!

    HHRNurse replied to mscelean's topic in Infusion

    I would not try to reaccess it without changing out the huber needle. It could have gotten moved/shifted since she was in the ER. You did good to start a peripheral line to give the patient their medication. I agree, let someone more experienced deal...

13. License Issue

    HHRNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    If a nurse lives close to a state border and lives in one state but works in the other don't they have to have a current state license in the state in which they are working? We recently lost one of HH nurses because did not have a license in our sta...

14. Could Inserting a Suppository Do This?

    HHRNurse replied to jjnmrsmom's topic in Cardiac

    At age 87 "anything" could have been the cause of his death. Besides his age he was a hospice patient which indicates he had a terminal diagnosis. You would have had to be routing around in there to cause a vagal response that would cause a signific...

    I agree. I attended Chamberlain for my RN-BSN and loved it. My degree is solid. I could go to any graduate school that I wanted to , if I wanted to, but I don't.
