  1. Terminated the third week into my orientation

    Elibri replied to HippyHappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was kind of surprised to read that you thought you would be able to be hired at that same hospital. That'll say anything at your exit interview/firing. IDK what to say about divulging that on...

  2. Restraint Free Facility?!

    Elibri replied to Verygreennurse's topic in General Nursing

    We've been doing this for some time. For our vented patients, we use pain control and some sort of sedative. We've switched to using Precedex more often. It can cause bradycardia and hypotension,...

  3. Code Blue: Just Trying Figure Out What Happened?

    Elibri replied to Binz's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you are a preceptor, in advanced practice, education, or some sort of role where you can mentor, educate, and support our fellow nurses. Many of us have the same knowledge but the way you...

    Excellent, excellent response. I see too often that we intervene with patients based on standards of care without taking into account the individual patient. This is where the critically thinking...

  7. I don't know how I could've handed this differently

    Elibri replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I understand that people must work, take care of children, and have little time for a variance in their schedule but how about having some of these family members rotate their visitation...

  8. No Respect.

    Elibri replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    HUGE difference! And the prioritizing of all the other details of the situation can't always be translated in a post. Who knows what else was going on. I totally get what the OP is saying. It's always...

  9. Should drug diverters be prosecuted?

    Elibri replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately i feel like people responsible for staffing will say anything to get a warm body
