1. Surgical consent forms- using layman terms

   All41 replied to SRainny9's topic in General Nursing

   What is up with "but this is a corporate decision"? My mom always told me that every body has a boss and that has served me very well in life. I would never allow a non-licensed anyone tell me I had to do something that I knew to be incorrect. (Now y...

2. Monster CNA Charged With Murder By Windshield

   All41 replied to Cascadians's topic in General Nursing

   I beg to differ. I worked with a CRNA who almost passed out into the sterile field during surgery from a self administered fentanyl injection. I also worked with an anesthesiologist who died at home from an apparent drug overdose and it was not a per...

3. Difference in dregrees and licensures

   All41 replied to dstout-rn's topic in General Nursing

   One voice, how beautiful that would be! Until we quit cannabilizing I am afraid it will just be a dream. "While climbing the ladder of success, reach back and help the one behind you" For those of us who would love to see this happen, we must continu...

4. Just Wondering.....

   All41 replied to ButterflyRN's topic in General Nursing

   I listened to a college basketball player who had been awarded "player of the game" being interviewed after winning the final playoff. He thanked God for giving him the skills necessary to be able to play and then he gave props to the rest of his tea...

5. More paper work!!!

   All41 replied to massEDgirl's topic in Emergency

   Check hospitals in your area and compare customary and usual practice. If there is nothing to stop this then see if you can change the format to charting by exception. Maybe there can be standardized care plans for patients in the ER. Is your hospita...

6. A good team player

   All41 replied to wildtime88's topic in General Nursing

   There is no "I" in Team but there is an "I" in Win! The questions in the survey sound like characteristics a dictator would use to describe a team player.

7. Nursing Board

   All41 replied to Brass7229's topic in General Nursing

   If you are questioned as to what you are able to do by an RN, first don't take it personally. RN's ask other RN's what they can and cannot do too. Nursing has become very complex and technical. It is really a very legitimate question and hopefully be...

8. Whistleblowers

   All41 replied to -jt's topic in Activism

   All I can say is to be ready for the consequence. No matter what is P&P, Legislated or assured...no one is safe from retribution. But HEY, it's never stopped me:)

9. Need your opinion pls

   All41 replied to rudyann's topic in Operating Room

   I agree as well but to add... the environment has some impact on behavior I think. On the floor, if you need to get away and decompress or just go to the bathroom it isn't such an ordeal. In the OR you are in a room with 3 or many more persons moving...

12. Why Nurses Leave Nursing

    All41 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism

    "If you are not a part of the solution, then you are part of the problem" - this is a healthy attitide I feel. In response to this I am going to attempt a contribution to the solution. We are hearing a lot these days about benchmarking. It is much mo...

13. Filipino Nurses

    All41 replied to Oscar's topic in Philippines

    Tiara, you hit the nail on the head. The ONLY thing wrong with the effect of importing nurses is the cause. For some reason, of which I have several theories, the administrative powers do not value its employees at the grassroots level. This is an ov...

14. Deception!!!!

    All41 replied to nursy_ann's topic in General Students

    It is my understanding that the administration of placebos is illegal within the USA (with the exception of blind studies). The last placebo I gave a patient was in 1976.

    It was reported that her attorney said she had used poor judgement.....Dugh! Is anyone to be accountable anymore? This and situations like it just stiffen my resolve to demonstrate sound, compassionate and professional behavior. Walk the walk.
