   Have you ever untwisted an IV when you aren't supposed to?

   Tenebrae replied to Katr's topic in Medications

   I'm not going to sit here and push a false narrative. I have an ethical obligation to be as honest as I can. It's great that you are vulnerable, it doesnt change the fact that you made a monumemtal mistake. You cant come on a nursing forum and not e...

   Tenebrae replied to Katr's topic in Medications

   We have saying on my ward "stay in your lane" If its not covered in your job description, leave it alone. You screwed up removing the IV. You say it was only clindamycin. In NZ clindamycin is not used as a first line antibiotic but usually...

    Unsafe situation LTC

    Tenebrae replied to Nik6lpn's topic in LPN/LVN

    I'm reluctant to suggest adding to your paper work. Every staff assault, inappropriate behaviour etc incident form it. Continue to incident form it. This is a situation I wouldnt allow to continue without a strong paper trail

    Did this nurse behave unethically?

    Tenebrae replied to subee's topic in Headlines

    Its the fact that this occured should horrify any human being. As for flushing it down the loo. At that point what was she supposed to do, put the remains in a box and take it to her local hospital?

    Sorry I'm agnostic so don't do prayer. Charlene Murphy died a horrific death, gasping, trying to get air into her lungs. As she lay DYING on her own, fully aware that she was dying and there was no way of stopping that, All the 10+ other safety...
