Just a thought. If you lay all your cards down on the table and confront her about this issue/and or talk to your supervisor.... You are returning the favor by potentially telling her (and your...

I feel bad for everyone overall. I agree with the poster that said that abuse isn't always intentional. I can clearly see both sides of this issue. 1. Family----loving, but failing to keep up...

Wow, it amazes me that so many incredible conclusions have been drawn from this. Increasing and encouraging rape? People proliferating the STI population? Increased use of "slipping a pill in a...

A few years back, Minnesota was the only state that allowed you to apply for a license and write NCLEX as a Canadian educated person (without writing CRNE first). Once you become licensed in...

I'm not going to comment on the appropriateness of the interview, but the concept of clean technique. When you draw up a medication into a syringe, it is not a sterile procedure. Therefore if...

Just my thoughts, Getting a nursing job out of school has been extremely challenging across the country lately. It is a combination of luck and location for the most part. Many a...

We use alaris pumps, after having the pump beep multiple times for "air in the line" with no visible air...I decided to try a new approach. Open the pump where you feed the line and you will see two...

How often? Honestly almost never For pediatrics in crisis...yes For adults in crisis...IV, then EJ, then femoral line I also have my ACLS and I think the IO is underrated and under...

Curious.....just how are they doing these FAST exams? With telepathy? For the record, our level 1 always uses Ultrasound, didn't know you could without one

As always, you write well with thought provoking topics. However, I think that the portion about sized-2 Mary Sunshine with no health problems not having a place in healthcare - a bit out of place...

According to your facility Guardrail drugs simply mean any drug that is preprogrammed into your pump. In my facility, that includes hundreds. Guardrail fluids are any fluids, again, that are...

Personally, I would take the job at Red Cross ONLY... If they are willing to change the start day. I would just explain that I am excited to work for them, however, I am committed to finish my...

Nobody can play judge jury and executioner here based off the limited pieces of information we have. I think it is naive to think that there is not an unfair burden of penalty placed on someone...

I don't think anybody was making jokes about the actual situation, it was simply the OP's style of writing. The humor was geared more towards how the OP felt when stuck in her situation....not the...

I also found your sense of humor refreshing:) A lot of times on this site, I think humor is a component that is missing and should be used more often. As far as you issue, from a realist...

Reminds me if a time long ago in my externship where a family member with "medical training" adjusted the pump to run in quicker because "mom's dehydrated and it's not going quick enough" Except...

My son hopes to get an iPad 3 for his birthday in a few months, but he will be hoping all the way to his first job... I know, I know, apples and oranges right? My thoughts on the matter are: ...

If you are still on orientation, chances are they will ask you to leave immediately. Why would they continue to pay you (and your preceptor) when they gain nothing. You are not actually an asset...

Before this thread gets used up, I want a last chance to defend my stance. As a poster that states my child is more important than my job, I feel that the few people who have spoken up and...

To me, I find this statement annoying. My child's life is worth more than 25 dollars an hour. Period.

I'm going to echo the sentiment that your original post was odd. I work in an inner city ER and I have to add that most good old GSW's aren't that impressive. Either they hit "something", or...

Yeah, I went back and found the quote...it completely wasn't you. My apologies.

Here I go I choose not to nitpick the exact points of the OP, but I am going to give my opinion on the generalized point raised. In my area there are no hurricanes, no earthquake fear, no crazy...
