   Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

   LilPeanut replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

   "I didn't have diabetes before I was here, I'll need teaching." "Uh, you should be fine, it'll just be temporary." "But temporarily, I'll need to understand how to deal with this." "You just check your sugar, based on the number you get, you inject ...

   Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

   LilPeanut replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

   I loved the resident who, when rounding, stated confidently that despite the high dose steroids, I've not had blood sugar issues, so should be fine to discharge without any. "Uh, I've been getting insulin twice a day and I still haven't been eating. ...

   Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

   LilPeanut replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

   You can know what EMR they use without saying you work there. I know what EMR several hospitals use that I don't work at. And I know how to figure out if they use Epic.

   Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

   LilPeanut replied to J.Adderton's topic in Headlines

   I definitely agree - anyone the staff spoke to should also be charged and arrested. Yes, the RNs had more knowledge presumably about the patients and medical situation, but unless the RNs were outright lying about conditions ("It's 68 degrees inside...

   $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

   LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in NP

   Really, the houses here are more like >700k, but buying is not the best option for everyone. It's a lie we've been sold. Just have to keep repeating this.

   That is not the same as every illegal alien with no ssn can get free community college tuition, which is what you implied. It is intended for children who have lived in this country for their whole lives to still be able to attend college.

   Because it was on the MAR for more than one shift. Not being able to get an order in immediately, that's understandable. But many hours later isn't. I'm a provider and when stuff is crazy, some orders will get missed, but within a few hours, nurse...

    Feedback appreciated

    LilPeanut replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the doc should have discontinued the order, or placed in the comments that they needed to be contacted prior to administration. Especially since it has been on the MAR for more than one shift as an inappropriate PRN. You also could document a "...

    I know how to use public transport and used it while I was in Cleveland. To get home from the airport, I had to take the train, then get the bus. I needed to budget two hours for travel to the airport. In a car, it would take 30 min. https://www.go...

    To be clear, I love Ohio (O H I O) I am a two-time Buckeye and grew up in Columbus. But I remember needing to get my driver's license ASAP because I needed friends and parents to drive me places.

    LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in NP

    The buses and RTA are more expensive and less extensive than public transportation here. Getting to a grocery store in Cleveland was not possible without a car. I lived in Shaker - the buses and trains are not nearly enough to be functional. Add o...
