  1. Working out these IV Pumps...

    I've never seen a pump that allowed you to set it without a VTBI. If not, then why on earth would you even use a pump?? If you don't set that, the pump has no idea how much fluid is there, and won't do anything until the air reaches the sensor. By...
  2. Help with resignation letter

    Thanks - I was able to throw something together - hopefully I have all the required pieces in there! Wish me luck, tomorrow is not going to be fun!!!
  3. Help with resignation letter

    Hi all - I did a search on this and didn't really find an example that worked for me. I am resigning from a job that I have had for many years. I know that the manager isn't going to take it well. I want to give her the letter tomorrow when I tell...
  4. Family Initiated Rapid Response Team

    Is that the little girl who died of dehydration after they stopped her fluids and kept her NPO? If it's the case I'm thinking of, we had to watch a video about it. I don't remember the details other than what I said and that she drank a ton of juic...
  5. Family Initiated Rapid Response Team

    We have a similar system. It's been in place for 6 mos - 1 year now. Each pt gets a pamphlet on admission and that same pamphlet is supposed to be on the bulletin board in each room. I usually tell them that there is a program in place where, if t...
  6. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

    Lol Magsulfate, that is too funny. I get that "in real life" all the time. People who come to the hospital for something serious get all worried about a hangnail. God bless 'em, you get the crazies everywhere lol! If it's going to be a bunch of l...
  7. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

    Well, I wouldn't HAVE to go, but we already have tickets and stuff, and they are non-refundable. So I would be out quite a bit of money, not to mention disappointing several people (including myself!!!). We timed the trip with some specific things ...
  8. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

    That's good to hear! Telephone triage was always something I had sort of considered, but I don't know anyone who has done it, nor do I have any kind of experience with it. I had been looking for a different job awhile back, and then I decided to ju...

  10. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

    Hi guys - any of you with experience in telephone triage - what did/do you llike about it and what did/do you not like? I have an interview that I never expected to get - but I'm very excited! I just don't know what to really expect since I don't h...
  11. Newborn Kitten Emergency- Anyone???

    Aww, I had no good advice so I didn't say anything, but I had to come back in here and make sure the little guy was doing okay! So glad that mama #3 finally gave in - hopefully she'll kkep it up! It takes a special person to invest so much time in ...
  12. Quick! Help!!!

    That's great! The rest of my res is formatted with bullet points, but I can definitely make something like that fit. Thanks!!!
  13. Quick! Help!!!

    Okay all, I need help. I wasn't planning on leaving my job for a while, but I came across an ad that interested me, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm updating my resume, and I need to describe my charge duties. The problem is, even though my ti...
  14. Nasty Doctor

    I would say that #1 if he thinks the nurses here are doing a bad job, then he shouldn't trust his pt's to them - perhaps he needs to move. #2, if the managers can't do anything, call security. They might not really do anything right away, but I'm s...
  15. Fake seizures and psuedo-seizures are not the same thing. If she was faking, she was faking. People get those terms mixed up a lot. A pseudo-seizure is a real seizure that the person cannot control, but the cause is not neurological - usually it's ...
