Great article! I wish we proned ARDS pts; have never seen it in person.

ER takes being energetic, open-minded, thick-skinned, assertive, and a sense of humor is a must!!

Nurses like this really DO make all the difference to the patient. I've been in the ER many times (for chronic depression issues- not an ER nurse's favorite thing at all!) and the kind ones who...

Hahahahahahaha

That's unethical Brandon- how would you feel if a nurse snuck laxatives into your meds, you asked what you were being given, and they didn't tell you. I'd be willing to bet that you wouldn't trust...

I believe it's chlorhexadine.

I'm so upset, I had to deal with an emergency and couldn't make it to NTI, at the last minute:/. I wonder if they would credit some of my $ to next year? :(

Wow, thank you so much for sharing your story! Your story gives me hope that I can eventually get married, have kids, and have a "normal" life, a life that I dream of. I know life will never be...

Wouldn't work in ICU, but a nice idea for walky-talkies.

Awesome!! Congrats:)

Congrats!!!

I am so, so sorry for your loss. There are no words. You sound like you are an amazing mother and I'm sure that your son is thanking you for that.

Ouch:/. Sorry, Kel. I've been towed multiple times- that place is notorious for it- it's always a fiasco to get the car back. Hugs!

Wowww I would report 4:1 ratios to whoever has authority over the hospital- the state, JCAHO??? I can barely get through a night of being tripled, and luckily where I work even that is fairly rare. ...

Just registered for all my NTI classes...they don't seem to have as good a selection as last year, but I am still SO. EXCITED!!

She probably needs the outcomes of these mistakes...

Yup yup, very common. Not everywhere but everywhere I've ever worked.

See you there!! :)

Same! Good luck!!

GREAT article, tn. Definitely makes you think. This world is a scary place.

I have to agree with lucky, making someone's psych hospitalization for say depression/SI public does not seem legal, and is NOT legal in the two states I have lived in. They only report possible...

Yeah also I know the reasoning for wanting patients as least sedated as possible, but it seems kind of cruel. Do you never paralyze patients? Or have patients so sick that they need to be knocked...

Also leaving flushes/syringes around is a no-no bc according to the hospitals I've worked for, people can steal them for drug use. We always have to have them out of the rooms and away from visitors...

Yeah this. And empty med vials too.

^^^This. Thank you, Lucky724. Psych pts records are kept very private for obvious reasons- it goes further even than HIPAA- many doctors, nurses, and other professional healthcare workers end up...
