  1. Ethical Dilemma

    I would have given you a failing grade as well. This scenario has very little to do with ethics. Good luck the next time around.
  2. PCU vs. Medsurg

    I personally have several years PCU experience. Our PCU is considered a critical care area requiring ACLS and (in my hospital) to be a part of the code team when you are Charge RN. PCU will definitely cover you for the Med/Surg requirement and might ...
  3. I've been a nurse for a total of 13.5 years between LPN and RN. I have come to accept (after a long time) that there are going to be patients that just don't want to change, no matter how much education you provide, or how much you care. I accepted m...
  4. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

    Nurse Maru, BSN, RNI will say being a good nurse is a learning process. Healthcare is forever changing a being a nurse affords us the opportunity to continue learning everyday. So, as nurses, yes we are getting paid to provide competent compassionat...
  5. What is harder- nursing school or first year working?

    CanadianAbroad I get kinda where you're coming from, but I wouldn't consider being a nursing student working for free. You don't have the same responsibility and repercussions if you make a mistake as you would as a licensed nurse, and the purpose of...
  6. You were young and immature. What have you learned from this incident? Would you ever do it again? I would not share that I was caught having sex and was fired for it to a future employee. I just left a leadership position, and I would have accepted ...
  7. Future Nurse With a Neurological Disorder?

    At the end of the day, we are all human. We have issues just like our patients. As long as your seizures are controlled, I would encourage you to pursue your career goals. I work in a neuro infusion suite and take care of several nurses that have neu...

  9. Staffing Question for Small Home Infusion Nursing Agencies

    Hello :) This is the reason I am leaving my current agency and going to an outpatient infusion suite (Unable to get another RN position approved and having such a HORRIBLE branch manager that does not support nursing, she is a pharmacist) and having...
  10. Resigned During Orientation - Advice Needed

    It sounds like you had a very rough way to go from the beginning, but I do agree that you should be taking more responsibility on letting a Levophed drip run dry. You have to be able to prioritize, and if your preceptor was unavailable to guide you i...
  11. Wound Vac Scope of Practice

    Thank you all for your responses. We will be discharging this patient and referring to another hha because this case has too much liability risk and poor caregiver/ family adherence to POC.
  12. Wound Vac Scope of Practice

    My thoughts exactly. I didn't quite understand how a chha can do this when changing the drsg calls for an "assessment" and there is more risk involved with wound vac therapy. Also, I didn't mention that the clinic placed black foam directly over an e...
  13. Wound Vac Scope of Practice

    I did find this link that somewhat clarified my question http://www.kci1.com/cs/Satellite?blobcol=urldata&blobheadername1=Content-type&blobheadername2=Content-disposition&blobheadername3=MDT-Type&blobheadervalue1=application%2Fpdf&...
  14. Wound Vac Scope of Practice

    I have a patient that has private paid home health aides. He has multiple wounds and we have trained them to provide the wound care. They were doing a great job, but now his podiatrist applied a wound vac to the most complex wound. My concern is, the...
  15. I think this might be illegal!

    It is standard for hha's to change oasis data collection if it is inconsistent. Especially with the functional aspect because this is where it confirms their homebound status and brings in reimbursement. My documentation has only been altered in this...
