   Does anyone else think this update (link below) means we might not have to wear masks all of the time? It seems like it to me, but I think there would have been an uproar already if it was. https://www.CDC.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/infectio...

3. Stay lock for IV tubing

   mfci replied to saraclark62's topic in Critical

   I was thinking it might take the paint off whatever it was stuck to.

4. Potassium IV hack

   mfci replied to atlnurse7's topic in Critical

   This would seem to violate the "right route" - you are doing something with the aministration that wasn't ordered. It may be harmless or it may not be, but I believe it is outside of our scope of practice. I would advise that you confirm with t...

5. How to handle unhealthy work environment?

   mfci replied to angelsigns's topic in Career Support

   I've worked somewhere very similar sounding. I didn't care one way or the other what they said or did, but they eventually started to threaten my job. Be that person that doesn't take that kind of crap. Leave. It's not good for you. Nursi...

    mfci replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I had a professional career for almost 20 years before I went to nursing school. I'm not a snowflake or a wimp, and I don't take anything personally at work. I learned that a long time ago. I had wanted to be a nurse for at least 15 years. And I ...
