2. 3 TIMES'S THE CHARM?

   GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in COVID

   I never have (but some people do).

3. 3 TIMES'S THE CHARM?

   GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in COVID

   The same reason people take lie detectors more than one time. One test would say you lied and the next test would say you didn't and maybe a 3rd test would prove inconclusive. Sorry. Couldn't think of a better analogy.

4. 3 TIMES'S THE CHARM?

   How many times do they have to shove something up your nose in order to know if you have it or not (COVID19)? I'm refering to the people who test positive one day and negative the next.

5. Curiosity Killed the Cat and Got 50 Hospital Employees Fired

   GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to Lorie Brown RN, MN, JD's topic in General Nursing

   It's called a public sacrifice.

6. Crushing Oral Medications...New Regulation

   GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to ltcnurse4u's topic in Geriatric

   Pudding and applesauce or ice cream are not necessarily used to 'hide' meds. They help make the meds more pallatable.

7. I Quit Nursing.

   And the hospital should evacuate too so we don't find the patients in the news waist deep in water.

10. Does anyone here take their own bp manually?

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to GLORIAmunchkin72's topic in General Nursing

    to rephrase: if you had to monitor your bp at home what would you use?

11. Does anyone here take their own bp manually?

    GLORIAmunchkin72 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've tried this but found it very awkward. I normally use OMRON electronic bp monitor.

12. Is it OK to give baking soda and water to LTC patient without a doctor order?

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric

    I definitely would not give it.

13. Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    At work some residents enjoy a play with words (cimanon, simenet,etc...). You got to lighten up sometimes. S NILE EVERYONE!

14. Possible alleged neglect complaint... I hate snfs

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to idreamofnursing17's topic in Geriatric

    I am not sure if "I'm on break" was the best response. "I'm presently off the clock" sounds better and add that you'll find another nurse on the floor to assist.

15. Narcotic counts

    GLORIAmunchkin72 replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in Geriatric

    Often times discrepancies without med errors happen because because people are not counting the number of doses in one card. For example we get a card of 30 doses but they're half pills so often times the narc paper will say 15 pills (whole)received ...
