1. Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

   zombienurse13 replied to zombienurse13's topic in Relations

   I'm not saying I agree or disagree with the replys and yes I have followed Nurses who give MULTIPLE Narcs, it's like they don't care, and like I said I've done this for years, and anyone especially the Etoh abusers need Ativan, and the patients I'm r...

2. Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

   zombienurse13 replied to zombienurse13's topic in Relations

   And no they are not entitled to those meds, it is based also on Clinical Judgement, these are not scheduled meds, and I have seen very few patients ever really detoxing or coming off of a "high too quickly" most of the patients I encounter are med se...

3. Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

   zombienurse13 replied to zombienurse13's topic in Relations

   I'm not trying to punish anyone, and just because it is on their PRN list does not mean we have to give it, like I said Nursing Judgement is a part of PRN's and me over medicating with narcotics or any nurse can put our nursing license at risk, for e...

4. Have you travelled to Africa is a invasion of privacy?

   zombienurse13 replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in General Nursing

   People who travel to other countries, especially ones with outbreaks of diseases should be asked those questions, if they don't want to be questioned then stay in the United States..... They are putting us all at risk! I get so sick of hearing about ...

6. Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

   zombienurse13 posted a topic in Relations

   For the life of me I can't understand why some Nurses continue to give Substance Abusing, Med Seeking Patients Ativan when there are other alternatives in place. I was charging this morning when the Med Nurse gave a patient who is already receiving A...

7. Faking seizures?

   zombienurse13 replied to Grodo's topic in Relations

   Pseudo Seizures is a common diagnosis in the Psychiatric Field, which I think is totally ridiculous, I don't understand why the doctors don't call these patients out and say stop faking seizures, instead they play into it and now have named it. This ...

8. RN thinking of going back to school for dental hygeine?

   zombienurse13 replied to msrosebud28's topic in Career Support

   My sister in law is a Dental Hygienist, she said a million times if she had it to do over she would have went into nursing, here are reasons: 1-Way Way more jobs to choose from 2-Benefits (dentists don't provide good benefits like hospitals) 3-She ha...

9. Recently terminated

   zombienurse13 replied to beausilk74's topic in Medications

   That was the first thing they taught us in Nursing School about meds, always watch the patient take them, and never let anyone else give them, especially a CNA or anyone else because you could lose your license. Wasn't you taught this is Nursing Sch...

10. Homeless working the system, multiple admissions

    zombienurse13 replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Psychiatric

    Same problem where I work, and no they are not acutely psychotic, they just know how to work the system, they need to get out, get a job and pay for a place to live, just like I do. But its easier to draw a check than work. It makes me sick knowing t...

    Again the Union has no place in a Hospital.

12. Please be prepared for your interview...

    zombienurse13 replied to Larry77's topic in Emergency

    Agreed, just because a nurse has loads of experience does not make them a instant hire...I have worked with nurses with years of experience who are unpleasant, not a team player and think they own the place because of their years of experience. A goo...

    zombienurse13 replied to Mindful's topic in Union

    I worked in a Hospital with a Union...Union's have no place in the Healthcare system period! They help lazy people keep their jobs, and make them have VERY negative attitudes. I will never work in a facility with a union again, it was the worst.
