  1. Cleaning staff are hired to empty garbages. I don't know if it is under a nurses scope of practice. I know I wasn't taught to do it in nursing school. As mentioned, most facilities I know have a "no-lifting policy" for patients.

  3. My shift got better.....Staff Massage's

    I am aware of hospitals that are providing massages to staff and encouraged to go during their breaks. They are also offering via a nourishment cart (muffins, danishes, coffee, tea, etc.) I think three times per week to staff. These hospitals are b...

  14. TIPS/Info for passing NCLEX

    Thanks a lot! I am considering Hurst review also since it seems many people like that rather than reading a book. I remember on the exam too!...lots of Infection Control, Delegation/Prioritization questions but also a lot of Meds! Maybe because Meds ...
  15. Which Med to give first?

    In my Saunders book it says: 1. IV fluids. 2. Oxygen. 3. Morphine. 4. Penicillin. Looks like there were previous problems with this question: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/sickle-cell-crisis-410226.html
