  2. How ironic that this is an issue in an ethics class

    Wasn't part of your assignment of receiving your colleague's paper to edit and make suggestions? It might be less offensive to receive the bad news of the plagiarism from you instead of the embarrassment of being academically reprimanded, and it may...
  3. ICU holds in the ER

    In Arizona they passed a law that if an ER is holding ICU patients, they must be staffed the same as if they were in ICU, so the ER nurse ends up with only 2 ICU patients if they have to hold in the ER. Also, if the patient is going to be held in th...

    Augsburg: I have worked in the ICU at all three hospitals you mentioned. I worked side by side with the manager at Salt Lake Regional, He and I were both clinical coordinators at ST. Mark's ICU. He is wonderful, his name is John. The nurses at Sa...
  5. chemotherapy certification

    Fonenurse: Thank you, that is probably the best place to start. I appreciate the advice.

  10. Your daughter is the exception and you know that and your daughter probably doesn't have the typical girl type behaviors of gossip and hanging out in Cliques either, I commend you on raising a well rounded young lady, and I personally raised my daugh...
  11. I agree with you MrRNman, women are the main participants in this type of "tattle tale" behavior. But I believe that it is not because it is a mostly female field but rather it is because men are and always will be more of the "Team" type players an...
  12. I understand what the thread is about, and we all have those nurses that believe that they will look better if they belittle and berate their peers, but it really is because of their insecurity in their own practice. The bigger issue is some of the ...
  13. I don't believe that as healthcare professionals we should be "Ratting" on our peers, but I do believe that as professionals we are obligated to report, in a factual manner, consistently bad practice. Where I practice, we have one particular nurse w...
