   Tiaj72187RN replied to oddaud's topic in Emergency

   I am replying to this at 3:30am on my unusually quiet shift on a med/surg floor. I have been working as a medical/surgical nurse for a year and a half now. I realize you're working in ED, so I wanted to assure you that even on a med/surg floor, which...

   I'm really glad you touched on this. Every nurse should be at least familiar with our roots. Florence Nightingale was instrumental in developing nursing practice as we see it today. :)

   After waking up and thinking more about this situation, some ideas have come to mind. I think its a matter of role confusion: the role of nurse and role of average citizen. The part I disagree with is that it is prescribing and "outside of my scope o...

   Tiaj72187RN replied to Tiaj72187RN's topic in General Nursing

   Wow. I do apologize for my poorly written post that lead to such poor interpretation. It was a long 12 hour night shift, with a long drive home. I won't, however, excuse my behavior using extenuating circumstances to justify my illiteracy. I do appre...

   So I just got home from work and I had a frustrating incident. A family member asked if I had some tylenol for her. She had a headache and her husband was very sick and it was 2am. I told her I probably had some in my purse. When I mentioned it to on...

   I got stuck with subcu lovenox shot with an HIV positive patient. I do not have HIV :) I wouldn't worry too much honestly. But it is a little scary when it happens. You'll be okay!

   I just want to say thanks to everyone who has replied to this post. Its been almost 3 months exactly since everything happened with my camper. I still carry around the card he had made me before he died in my wallet. I have grown in so many ways thro...

8. New Nurse...Need advice on dealing with death

   Tiaj72187RN replied to pcurn2008's topic in New Nurse

   Thank you. I think you're probably right. I feel silly being so upset about what happened. Its only been 3 days but I feel like I should be more professional or something. Would it be wrong to send a card to the family or write them a short note? I f...

   Tiaj72187RN replied to pcurn2008's topic in New Nurse

   I know it has been six months since you wrote this post, but I have been dealing with the same thing. I just graduated nursing school and passed the NCLEX two weeks ago. I have been working as a camp nurse until I could find a hospital job. One of my...
