    I did a visual assessment and when she was up walking I assessed her ability to weight bare etc. Then continued an assessment of ROM and pain once she was up and in her room. I applied a dressing...

    My facility didn’t have a neuro protol until 2014, the nurses that have been there for a long time have never done one when sending someone to the hospital. My sister that is a RN doesn’t do one...

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    In this particular case it was just the dates but the count was correct daily. Not sure what to do if the wrong date was written down in the first place, how can one correct that so it coincides...

    Sometimes at our place some of us "forget" to sign a narcotic off but go back later like the next day to sign for it, does changing the dates on a few to make it coincide appropriately make it a...

  10. Oxygen

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    Also I was told that I was not following a Dr.s order to give O2, yet O2 was given by concentrator in his room, their is no order that states "fill" the tank, this should just be part of a duties list...

    Marija1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    At my work a gentleman receives O2 therapy. When he is asleep at night he gets O2 from a concentrator. On the day he has a portable tank. I don't normally fillbthe portable tank as I am thinking it...

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    True it would make sense for each shift to work as a team. I have no issues with having things prepared for the next shift however there is one "individual" nurse that works as just that and not part...

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    Precious nursing time is the issue and think that's why all this came up in my work place! Night shift is just as busy in last hour of shift that the day shift is in their first hour but day shift...

    No the one in the room runs on air circulating in the room. The portable one is filled manually from another large compressed tank, they would normally be using the one in their room at night not...

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    It's a retirement home so I am busy for the last hour as the day nurse is in her first hour. If it was team work and I missed it somehow then the day nurse could say okay she will do it. But in this...

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    The order states "all shifts" . And yes the route is a bit different as one is concentrated I believe, not sure the exact difference but there is one. If then days is expected to fill it as well...

  18. Oxygen

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda think it should be morning shift that goes In to fill it to prepare for the day, same as when I start my evening shift I would fill it to prepare for the evening, that makes more sense to me,...

  19. Oxygen

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    And it's my thought that the evening nurse should be the one to fill it after their shift as it was used in the evening and likely empty due to that reason, 100% of the time it's not being used...

    And not a blind signer as I knew it was wrong but the supervisor is not interested in what I have been trying to tell her so that's where my issue

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    I did alert my supervisor that its technically the wrong order, but essentially I also said we need two separate orders to clear up

    Marija1 replied to Marija1's topic in General Nursing

    The long and the short of it is that they want us to fill the portable tank on each shift even when it's not in use. On my night shift he gets the oxygen from his in room concentrator. So...

  24. Delegate

    Marija1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    A really dumb question but must ask. Can nurses delegate to UCP as in support workers to collect urine

  25. Self Administration

    I work at a Retirement Home. Some residents self administer meds. If someone took too many at one time is that an error on the nurses part if it happened on her
