IV clinics for hangovers

[floridaRN38]

I have seen this done in Las Vegas. You have a hangover and either they come to u or u go to their clinic. You get NS IV and zofran, etc

I want to start my own company doing this

Living in south Florida I see a need for this but how do I go about it. I have done some research.

Pros and cons of it?

Liability ??

Medical director ? How to find one?

Any help is appreciated

Do you get paid for working as a nurse? Is that ethical?

[AshleyRN706]

All of your arguments are just plain ridiculous. And a little comical to be honest. I feel like I'm having a debate with a preteen. Of course I get paid. I also do volunteer work. But whatever job I'm doing, I'm helping these people step into the right direction. Even if the physician is not, I am fighting for them. Even if the patient themselves are not, I am pushing them to help themselves through education or referrals. So, you can stand by your views, that is your right, but I am praying that none of my family members ever have a nurse that thinks the way that you do. It is sad and I'm a little ashamed to share the same field. The field that I take pride in and actually think that little by little I am making a difference and providing the best care that I can. What happened to our duty as nurses to "do no harm"? I'll stand by my belief that profiting from alcoholics and not educating and referring them to outside help does not really constitute doing no harm in my book.

You sound precious. And very, very new to nursing. I appreciate your fervent passion that's so shiny and frothy and naïve! I remember when I was like that. It will all evaporate when the anvil of cold reality lands on your beautiful little head.

And I guarantee you, you and your family have had, do have, and will have many nurses like that.

Evidently, the point of the earlier redirect was missed.
