  1. Can a patient refuse PART of her medication dose?

    God word back from the doc, the dosage is as it is on the bottle, but they are telling me to give one pill if that is all she will take. They're telling me I'm not violating anything, that the patient has the right to refuse all or part of her dose....
  2. Can a patient refuse PART of her medication dose?

    I would say that was true if I was only offerring her a half of a dose, but I'm offering her the FULL dose and she is REFUSING part of it. So it is not practicing medicine without a license, lol
  3. I work in a Juvenile Detention Center. One of my kids takes Trileptal 300mg...her bottle says she takes 2 at night, but she says that she takes 1 pill. She does not refuse her medications, just refuses to take 2 pills. I have told her that it is ...
  4. Pay for Correctional nurses?

    I work in a Kansas City suburb at a county Juvenile Detention Center and make $22.50 an hour. I got my RN license 4 months ago. My job requires a lot of autonomy (I am the only medical personnel on staff during the day) and very good assessment ski...
  5. ATI test

    Sounds like you guys have a different - and better - experience with ATI than we do in our school. We are in our last semester of RN, actually, in our last week of school and have to take 3 ATI tests. We have done this all thorughout the program an...
  6. Jobs: What are the other options to bedside nursing?

    I am thinking about working in a family practice or some specialty office like the ones mentioned above. But....please don't think I'm judging here, I'm merely asking the question....does working in this type of enviornment have an effect on clinica...
  7. Jobs: What are the other options to bedside nursing?

    I know of things you as alternatives, such as research and such, but none of them seem to entry level - all seem to require -3-5 years of med/surg or something like that. Anyone know of any types of jobs that nurses can do that you don't to do wait ...
  8. I expected to love it... :(

    LOL....I'm on summer break at the moment, we start back up in the middle of August, in which I will probably work one shift a week, as opposed to three. No, I could not have made it as far as I have in nsg school if I had been working full time!! So...

  10. Hey guys, I am a new nurse...I've only been working a month as an LPN in a rehab hospital. I can't say I love it or hate it, but I know I don't want to say there forever. I will have my RN in december, but I am wondering if I really want to go the ...
  11. PLEASE HELP!!! so embarassed about sweating!

    Hi. I started using Drysol a few years ago, mostly because antiperspirants seemed to actually make me sweat more. I sweat too, I don't think it's as bad as you, however, but Drysol could definitely help. I'm pretty sure that you can apply drysol a...
  12. Hey, I've been in the program since January, so I thought I'd share a few things that I've learned. Every program is different, just keep that in mind. My shoes. As a new student, you'll probably want to run out and buy "nursing" shoes but I've trie...
  13. Freaking

    Wow, thank you. Too bad I read this post after my test, but I'm sure F/E will come up again in the fall or next year. I ended up with an 85%. I'm not complaining, though I never used to be happy with these types of grades, nursing school has taught...

    Oh, I know. They call them "distracters". To that I say: HA, very cute.
  15. Freaking

    Thanks for the replies. We have two more unit tests, a math test (which I plan to get 100%, knock on wood) and the final. I'll freak out about the final later, but right now I just want to get through these last two tests. My study habits may be to...
