3. RN scope of practice for mixing Chemo

   RNview posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello- I've heard some clinics have RNs mixing Chemo. Is this within the Nursing Scope? Is there a website I could go to to support this idea that it's legal for nursing to mix chemo in stand alone clinic in California? Thank you in advance. RNview

5. Oncology Powerchart

   RNview posted a topic in Oncology

   Does any one here using EMR for Oncology? As an Oncology Nurse, we need a cosignature from a 2nd RN. Now that we have Electronic Records, we kind of use the term esignature. As far as I know, esignature requires a user name and a password. If you jus...

   I work in Med/Onc. We have medical patients mostly but not limited to Pneumonia, MI, CHF patients. Then we have oncology patients. Our manager sends new nurses to a chemo certification class after 6 months of hire date. I love where I work. I also st...

7. Chemo Check!

   I work in the inpatient and we also have our own pharmacist. In our OUTPATIENT they check everything at once for EACH patient. One time, when an OUTPATIENT RN floated to our unit, she double checked all the 3 chemo for the same patient all at once wi...

8. Chemo Check!

   RNview replied to RNview's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you guys. I work in the inpatient and usually we check one chemo at a time. When I first started working there, there was no policy whether we check the pump rate too. One time, a nurse from the infusion center worked in our unit and asked anot...

9. Rituxan nurse:pt ratio

   RNview replied to Megomatic2's topic in Oncology

   I would love to have 2:1 ratio for First induction of Rituxan. In our unit, we have 5:1 no matter what. This is crazy at times, especially when there's no charge nurse around to help out. It makes me want to cry sometimes. No matter how good I am wit...

    RNview replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you feel better. I know it's not easy to get an ASAP appointment with the PCP. If you don't feel any better, just go in the ER. For the meantime, take care of yourself and get better :icon_hug:

12. Paid for precepting?

    RNview replied to Happy2bRN05's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with you with every thing you said! I was one of those lucky ones who had only one preceptor and it made a huge difference. One of my friends who started at the same time had 4 different preceptors and she was totally lost. She misse...

13. Paid for precepting?

    RNview replied to Happy2bRN05's topic in General Nursing

    It is not worth a penny. Precepting is not for everybody. I've been doing it longer than anybody else in our unit. I like doing it, but it wears me out too. Honestly, this past few months, I asked my manager to give me a break until next year. Some o...

15. Do you compliment your co-workers?

    RNview replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    Not a lot of people where I work compliments anybody when I started working there. From the management down to the housekeeping. It was so sad 'coz everybody works hard, and not even a little word of appreciation was said. I decided to show them that...
