6. What's you highest...?

   luvin it replied to talaxandra's topic in General Nursing

   I would refuse to dose anyone w/ ativan 40 mg. (???). That doesn't make sense. I have detoxed may pt and have never heard of dosage like that. Also never have heard of Haldol use for withdraw. Sounds like an Internist's experiment. Would have t...

    "I'll check on that for you"..usually stated when I already know the answer amd know that it's not what the pt/family wants to hear. Sometimes this has bought me enough time to have someone else do the dirty deed of addressing the issue of better ye...

12. medical orders?

    luvin it replied to olympiad27's topic in Safety

    I know that the squeaky wheelis not always supported or welcomed. I fought w/ the whole Dallas County Med. Dept. as a new nurse because they didn't mesh-up to what I had been taught. I was a difficult time in my career. But, I was right to mainta...
