1. How do you give out the pills?

   CO2emission replied to CO2emission's topic in Correctional

   It depends on the level of security for each pod. They tend to hover about and the officers call them as we tell the officers. The methadone/suboxone parade is a bit different. They get in a line for that and when they have had their suboxone, they h...

2. How do you give out the pills?

   CO2emission replied to CO2emission's topic in Correctional

   Thanks for that. We sort of do that too in the pods but they are bagged up by the nurses first in zip lock bags with the patients names/ min numbers and cell numbers before they see the patients. I think this practice can lead to the patients gettin...

3. How do you give out the pills?

   CO2emission posted a topic in Correctional

   Hi Correctional nurses. I work in Australia and am just wondering how you give out your pills. Some of our patients are on a lot of pills, especially those who have Mental Health issues. All the nurses bag up the pills in the dispensary in zip lock b...

4. National Registration

   CO2emission replied to Sophia36's topic in International

   Hi, The 20 hours is professional development not necessarily education and training...easy peasy. It could be an article that you read. It could be a discussion with someone else when you learned something. It could be tertiary studies. It just has t...

5. You Got to Know When to Hold 'Em

   CO2emission replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

   Hi...love your eloquent writing and story telling. At the end of the day from a mangement perspective, we are all just numbers and it is wrong for those in management to keep pushing us. Management creates these problems and then makes them our prob...

   Thank you for the ACT link. I have checked it out.This is fantastic. Many many thanks

7. From Teaching to Learning - The Advantages of Passive vs. Active Learning Strategies

   CO2emission replied to VickyRN's topic in Educators

   I'm not sure active/passive is about different learning styles...it's more about teaching styles. Learning should be student-centred not teacher-centred. And does it have to be one or/vs the other? Can you not have both? As for simulated learning... ...

8. How do you get the nursing care done with hourly rounding & computer documentation?

   CO2emission replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

   I know there is no turning back but I've been around long enough to remember the Nightingale wards. The desk was in the middle and you could see all your patients. When patients were put into private rooms or bays, they could no longer be seen or hea...

9. fluid and electrolytes

   CO2emission replied to 918runnr's topic in General Nursing

   Hi, My advice is you will get confused if you use this forum to build your knowledge because everyone has their own understanding and although people mean well, there needs to be some authenticity, references and peer consensus so you don't head off ...

10. Sooooo done with the verbal abuse!

    CO2emission replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Where was the support/counselling etc from the workplace and the union while this was going on for this poor man? Who provided him with legal assistance? Is the workplace now providing him with help or is it just you guys?

11. Pain is subjective?

    CO2emission replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    Pain is a biological characteristic that enables us to keep away from danger. Without it, we may hurt ourselves so seriously without knowing it that we risk death. This tells us that pain is in fact an objective experience. There are many different t...

12. Sooooo done with the verbal abuse!

    CO2emission replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't come with the t-shirt. If you can see it for what its worth you aren't puting up with it. If it makes you angry then are you any better? Your frustration lies in the fact that you can't give it back to them. I don't want to give it back to...

13. Pain is subjective?

    CO2emission replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    The question is..is pain subjective? No it's not but pain behaviours are and many are standing in judgement by measuring pain by pain behaviours. I guess most are talking about the narcotics/drugs of addiction and placing big value statements on the ...

    CO2emission replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh...the battle of the wills! I've seen it all and I've felt your fire and passion. At the end of the day, it's not an us and them situation. There is nothing to be achieved by being defensive. There are no winners and no losers. After a while I rea...

    "pain addeth zest unto pleasure and teacheth the luxury of health" pain is what the patient says it is, nothing more and nothing less.
