  1. Doctor vs Nurse

    I am reading the threads. I learned so much insights from the replies. Thank you so much. Now it makes me wonder on what field of nursing that I really want to be in. This had been a reality check for me that ltc is not going to work for me.
  2. Doctor vs Nurse

    Ltc wouldn't send out their resident to ER as much as possible. But when the md wouldn't give appropriate orders and we see the pt deteriorating that is the only time we send them out.

    Thanks for your help. Really apreciate it.
  4. Doctor vs Nurse

    Maybe it is just really hard to explain the scenarios. He only order to monitor the patient in most of the cases not just this one. To make the story short to fully describe this is that most of the old nurses in the facility are the ones who orders...

    Initially he did not order abt neither cxr. His only order was monitor the pt. He would not o rder anthing besides monitor.
  6. Doctor vs Nurse

    He ordered that cxr and abt after I told him that I really think and the other nurse-happens to be the resident's daughter- thinks the resident should be sent out to the hospital. We have a low census and that doctor is running out of residents in th...

    This is the first time I had seen a doctor who does not order labs or xray or other exams. All he ever order is continue to monitor the patient.

    As described by the resident's daughter, the resident does not complain or say anything. The resident tend to keep everything on her own. Last month I saw the resident grimacing appearing as if in agony of pain. I assessed the resident but the resid...

    That is what I dont really get. I need to study more in depth about hospice for it is confusing for me.
  10. Doctor vs Nurse

    As much as I want to call 911, my hands are tied with sending the resident out cause we do have a policy that the md should give an order first before sending the patient out. hence the md ordered cxr. I know it is unethical and unlawful. As a novice...

    Yes for the flu. What I documented was runny nose, febrile and muscle aches.
  12. Doctor vs Nurse

    I also did not hang up on him I said to him that I needed to go off the phone for I have many other patients to tend to. And ill keep on monitoring the pt like the md asked me to. We do have a protocol but the protocol isnt much very clear.
  13. Doctor vs Nurse

    Thanks for all your help. I might have had not fully described somethings but the patient denies difficulty of breathing but you can see that the resident is using accessory muscles. So I took that as labored breathing and you can audibly hear her wh...

    As for the diabetic hospice resident, the pt is fine, eating well and fighting for her life. But the md simply stated 'she is hospice what do you want me to do? She is dying'
  15. Doctor vs Nurse

    The pt with atelectasis is not responsing with the neb treatment and she was supposed to be discharged on the next day but she started wheezing. To describe this fully: His inital order was just robitussin. I lied to him that the pt is having difficu...
