2. Her body burned by drug, not fire

   Reabock replied to nursebedlam's topic in Burn

   We had one of these cases a few months ago, the cause seemed to be the OTC med Abreva for cold sores. I never saw this pt before she was transferred,the same evening, as I was too busy with my own pts down another wing, but I can still remember hear...

3. Neglect...LPN was fired, RN was not

   Reabock replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   I tend to agree with you but question, who slipped up on the Q 1/2-1 hr HS rounds? Don't they routinely do those at your facility? Our Nurses or Aides check the pts at least Q hr thru the night.

   Reabock replied to babern's topic in General Nursing

   BABE RN, no , never had a recurrence of the endo, nor any problems with adhesions, at least not yet and surgery was about 15 years ago. Did not even know I had endometriosis, just knew I hurt awful, almost doubled over at times with the pain. MD s...

7. Surgical menopause?

   Reabock replied to babern's topic in General Nursing

   I had a total hyster and BSO at 36 for extensive endometriosis. Never regretted it for a minute, have been on Menest, a synthetic hormone ever since. Have cut myself back to 1/2 of a 1.25 mg tab every other day or so and have no hot flashes unless I...

   Reabock replied to LydiaNN's topic in New Nurse

   Yep,, I'm one of the "older" nurses. Took mine in 1981, with 1 year old baby at home. Two days, in Harrisburg at the Zembu Temple, in July, no air conditioning and 95 degree heat. My only stipulation for the motel where we stayed was that it had t...

11. Type Of Pts Accepted on Telemetry??

    Reabock replied to SCNuttyMeg's topic in Cardiac

    Lately I have been wondering why so many of our pts were on Telemetry, some inappropriately I feel, such as the 96 year old DNR, etcs. My thought is that it is one way to get a bit more revenue from the insurance companies as I know we charge more fo...

12. does anyone get to wear fun scrubs

    Reabock replied to S5777's topic in General Nursing

    Mario, at our facility that is the color the OR crew wears, burgandy. They switched from green a couple of years ago and as far as I know, no one makes any comments about the masculinity of any OR male!!!:) On the floors we wear colored pants and...

13. Polished the floors, so now ?

    Reabock replied to StatBlues's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with continuing to be a floor nurse. We need more Indians and less folks aspiring to be Chiefs sometimes. I know that was not politically correct but sick people need seasoned nurses to take care of them too! I've been a cha...

15. IV Push meds

    Reabock replied to RNNC2003's topic in General Nursing

    Good answers, same as we do here, especially about flushing the saline locke site. If it flushes that hard I'd be afraid I was pushing a clot thru and would cause a problem, so usually restart the site. I also rarely get a flashback unless it is in a...
