   Is it like this everywhere now?

   NoctuRNal_UnicoRN replied to Forest2's topic in General Nursing

   Yep. Daily occurrence. Worse most days, actually, because new MUSTS are added weekly or previous musts are changed. This is why many nurses leave the hospital, bedside, go back to school or leave nursing. It's too much. Everything happening each week...

   Expiration date checks on supplies

   NoctuRNal_UnicoRN replied to stellabella236's topic in General Nursing

   The policy should have clearly defined what is to happen during call situations, which it obviously didn't, considering it "couldn't be found" by the manager. I would guess that the manager knew their actions could be considered inappropriate, but wa...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    NoctuRNal_UnicoRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We have nurses like this in both the hospitals I've been in. They are referred to as "SWAT" nurses. The acronym can mean different things. They are essentially a resource nurse, or circulating nurse, that goes to all floors and provides any needed as...
