3. Patience with the New Doctor

   Alibaba replied to SaoirseRN's topic in Relations

   Thank you for your post and for reminding us that every professional has to start somewhere just like we all once did. It is always so strange to me when nurses are rude or mean to doctors who are asking questions regarding their patients' day and ca...

4. No luck with a new grad job- should I go back to school? Any nurse managers around?

   Alibaba replied to BA_anthropology's topic in Job Hunt

   If you were planning on getting a MSN anyways, I say go for it. The time will pass anyways and you may as well use the time to acquire a degree that you intend to get anyways. Going back to school and looking for a job are not mutually exclusive. Yo...

5. If you weren't a nurse, what would you have become?

   Alibaba replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

   #1 Every time I see those guys on the travel channel that get paid to travel the world and document it, I know,, that's what I would rather be doing than anything else. I guess that's whimsical coz it will never happen. #2 Which I am really, seriousl...

8. How does this happen???

   Alibaba replied to snbonbon's topic in Safety

   Why was his blood sugar low? Was he too zonked and did not get to eat his meal? Did anyone follow up with the lack of meal intake? Maybe then the sedation could have been caught before RRT was necessary. Like others already said, just because you are...

9. Fainting... so dramatic

   Alibaba replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

   When I was about 5 months pregnant, I worked 1st shift at the nursing home. I must have forgotten to hydrate coz I was leaning on my medcart infront of a resident's room getting ready to pull their meds. All of a sudden, I start seeing stars, try to...

10. A change in EKG

    Alibaba replied to Candyn's topic in New Nurse

    You did the right thing by getting EKG and continuing to monitor. In this case, also report to the charge nurse and they will advice further based on their experience and unit protocol. Most importantly, once the monitor tech has notified you (and t...

11. I finally fell prey to the LTC politicos after a year and a half.....

    Alibaba replied to mamarhonda's topic in Geriatric

    Yes..you are not supposed to make any copies. But as demonstrated by OP's predicament, lack of a triplicate paper trail has a way of coming back to bite you on the caboose. Most original incident reports I have seen have a carbon copy. (Facilities ge...

    Alibaba posted a topic in School

    I found this article pretty interesting, and the comments after the article even more interesting. What do you guys think about banning stuff like pb&j due to food allergies, and how does your school (or your kid's school) handle this issue? htt...
