   NursePelican replied to NursePelican's topic in COVID

   Just looking for information here . So, you allow the covid positive patients to come into the regular infusions areas? Is this the same areas then, your chemo and other infusions are taking place I assume? We keep those patients completely separate...

2. Who's infusing your Bamlanivimab?

   Who's infusing your Bam? We have some who believe it should be chemo certified only. Others who think it should be nurses that are dedicated to only that duty as not to then care for other patients. Thanks!

3. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

   NursePelican replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   I do need to clarify, we have nurses here saying we are wrong if we don't do the adult thing and take the vaccine. Just because they choose to. You quoted so much, but I think you answered rather nicely for me with this last paragraph. We hav...

5. Now that the Covid 19 vaccine is just around the corner... Will it be mandatory?

   NursePelican replied to NewRN'16's topic in COVID

   I have been pretty silent on here, but... I just love reading the posts that say things like " start adulting" or "unless this has happened to you" . These are often the same who spew "it only takes once" or "what about the one time/person". Kind ...

7. Would You Report Me for This?

   NursePelican replied to cupquake's topic in General Nursing

   I believe she needs to follow the rules. #1 if you charted you gave it. You better have. #2 A CNA is not a nurse and it is not in a CNA's scope of practice to "supervise" medications being taken by a resident...it is the nurse's responsibility. #3 ...

   That is a good idea. Also, I'm a big believer in having a witness. Thanks for the advice.

9. How to handle a know-it-all, loud, humiliating coworker

   NursePelican replied to NursePelican's topic in Relations

   I have not personally attempted this, but have seen another who has. I am worried the nurse will finally upset me and I will go off. I don't know if I could find a good way to do so ,the more I think about it.

10. How to handle a know-it-all, loud, humiliating coworker

    NursePelican posted a topic in Relations

    I have come to realise that no matter where I work, there will always be that one nurse who talks too loud, too often,and often attempts to belittle coworkers in front of others. But the one nurse I'm currently working with is taking the cake. At fir...

13. LPN...not good enough??

    NursePelican replied to em1025's topic in LPN/LVN

    I know some LPN's that know more and run circles around the RN's. The honest RN's admit it. What I can't stand is when a RN calls themself a Nurse and a LPN and LPN in the same sentance. "The Nurse must do the initial assesment, the LPN can do the in...
