    FL is not following mandatory mask/social distancing protocol

    NurseBlaq replied to NewRN'16's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just find it amazing that people are fighting not to wear masks, yet many of those same people are also fighting against abortion. So people refuse to wear masks while also trying to control women's...

    Doctor Denies Giving Lortab Order, Nurse Facing Discipline

    NurseBlaq replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I don't understand. If it's the protocol, wouldn't there be preprinted orders? And if it's per protocol why say verbal order unless you spoke to the doctor? Also, you say it's protocol under the...

    NurseBlaq replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What is a reasonable nurse: patient ratio in ICU?

    NurseBlaq replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    IMO staffing and assignments should always be based on acuity, not number of patients

    NurseBlaq replied to kuippo's topic in General Nursing

    Same happened to me. Come to find out, a CNA who had been there for a long time was taking money from the patients family members and was stealing supplies to sell as a side hustle on Ebay. She put a...

    What is a reasonable nurse: patient ratio in ICU?

    NurseBlaq replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Reasonable for ICU in general, I've always been told 1-2 max based on acuity. Maybe 3, but ONLY if 2 of the 3 are stable and possible transfers to lower acuity unit and it's a short night. As for...

    NurseBlaq replied to May82's topic in General Nursing

    This. But I would also consult an attorney because facilities are there to protect themselves, not you. They deem nurses replaceable. It may be what TriciaJ said, but it may also be the facility is...

    What schools allow you to challenge the LPN boards in the United States?

    NurseBlaq replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm confused. You already went through an LPN program and passed boards. Are you already a licensed LPN? I ask because you then say you've already taken 5 RN classes and want to know if you can...

    Coronavirus Second Wave?

    NurseBlaq replied to sirI's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think MSM talking about it nonstop has made people fear for their lives. They have to realize that there are a lot of nonmedical people who don't understand so they're afraid. It's also not helpful...
