1. IV meds and dilution

   GerberaDaisy replied to Dragonfly949697's topic in Med-Surg

   I just came back from a nursing convention, and there was a seminar on best practice for IV push meds. The presenter said that it is not necessary or safe to dilute IV meds, unless you are giving lorazepam, levothyroxine, protonix, famotidine or prom...

2. Break Relief RN

   GerberaDaisy replied to nwnikki's topic in Med-Surg

   I have to ask why you would anticipate resistance to having a nurse come and give everyone a lunch break? Having a lunch relief nurse has worked out great every place I have ever experienced it! Working in California-they are often used to make sure ...

   GerberaDaisy replied to Julius Seizure's topic in General Nursing

   I completely agree that there have been some very inappropriate comments seen on FB. However, I have to say that there are more supportive, thoughtful, and professional comments than otherwise, and I have to say that it is nice to see nurses united r...

8. patients on methadone plus PRN pain meds

   GerberaDaisy replied to sassyann85's topic in Medications

   Just because you personally "disagree" with the need for pain medication while delivering a baby does not mean everyone else should not be able to access medically accepted treatment for pain. I hope you don't go around spouting your opinion off to y...

   GerberaDaisy replied to sassyann85's topic in Medications

   This is criminally negligent behavior on the part of the ortho surgeon. If I was your friend I would be contacting a lawyer and filing a malpractice claim.

10. Need some comic relief from all this Ebola-ness?

    GerberaDaisy replied to 1KoolRN's topic in Humor

    Oh my gosh this one just cracked me up!

11. Media a bit too invasive of nurse's personal info following her catching Ebola?

    GerberaDaisy replied to Blue Roses's topic in COVID

    But yes, I think there's a lot too much information revealed about this nurse, and too much blame affixed directly on her. i absolutely agree with what Ruby Vee has said. I find it sickening that this nurse's privacy and competence have been hung out...

12. Very worried I made a huge mistake..just need some advice

    GerberaDaisy replied to webrn1969's topic in Recovery

    Not necessarily. I knew a nurse a few years back who traveled to another state for a new travel assignment. Her drug screen for the facility came up positive for THC, and they reported her the state board. She was not able to get a new license in tha...

    Thank you for posting this NRSKaren! As a nurse who was originally educated in Canada ( in Ottawa, in fact!) I really enjoyed seeing it. I love reading about nursing history.

    "Meaningful use" is related to the HITECH Act, which was part of the ARRA (American Recovery and a Reinvestment Act of 2009), and not the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) which was signed by the president in 2010.
