   The 3 12s, 5 8s Debate

   Emergent replied to CCC_nursing's topic in General Nursing

   I am working 5 days a week now. It's a seasonal, non-nursing position, 99.9% stress-free, in the outdoor nursery/greenhouse of a local variety store. I'm retired from nursing, this is just for fun, and ends in July. The only downside is that I w...

   Any nurses file their own taxes? Turbo? h&r block?

   Emergent replied to Happytimes's topic in General Nursing

   Once you get set up in Turbo tax, it's pretty easy. I have 2 rental properties, and an investment account. It's user friendly. I opt for the minimal service. One year I got the extra advice option. I don't recommend that, you get a different person ...

   Fascinating police interview. Opinions? This is a YouTube video. It touches on her addiction to Tramadol. It is heart-wrenching. Nurse interrogated after murdering husband

   Paramedics Criminally Charged/Convicted

   Emergent replied to emtpbill's topic in General Nursing

   The article says the victim was 140 lbs. The police should have been able to restrain this guy without drugs.

   Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

   Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   It's a slap in the face to the family of the woman who died for her to be cashing in on this. It would be like a drunk driver who was convicted of vehicular manslaughter making money from giving speeches. Instead he or she should go to schools and ta...

   Signs of hospital closing?

   Emergent replied to slauren's topic in General Nursing

   One thing I advise you to do is to use up or cash out as much PTO as you can. The people who never took vacations, worked extra shifts, and were very loyal to their teams, got shafted. When the hospital closed they lost all their PTO, which in many c...

   Signs of hospital closing?

   Emergent replied to slauren's topic in General Nursing

   One sign of impending doom is if you see equipment disappearing. Right before they closed our Hospital, they were secretly moving anything valuable to their other campus, presumably to hide it from creditors. I learned a lot from talking to one...

    Signs of hospital closing?

    Emergent replied to slauren's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I was laid off from a hospital that closed in 2020. It was originally a Catholic Hospital that was sold to a for-profit (HMA). The for profit appeared to be milking it for all it was, eliminating services such as obstetrics, and then letting go ...

    Undiluted IV phenergan

    Emergent replied to Vicky Mabon's topic in General Nursing

    It's irritating to the veins, but we used to do it all the time back in the day. Then it was recommended to dilute, because it's a better practice. You shouldn't worry anymore. Hopefully the 500 mL bolus was ordered by the doctor.

    The overuse and misuse of PRN medications

    Emergent replied to xsummer12x's topic in General Nursing

    Are these controlled substances? If so, it is a sign of diversion when one nurse is giving way more controlled substances than others.
