  1. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Ooh and OMG I just realized that if needed, you can also petition the courts to assign you a partial (limited) guardian ad litem to solely be your health care surrogate, to help you get the voice you...

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  5. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The confusion is that she WISHES to be a DNR. Thats her end of life wishes, as she just stated in the previous comment. I was unaware that she was still a full code, but Im not her coworker, am...

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah I am hearing you on the difficulty factor 100%. I wonder if, and hear me out.. because IDK how well this could work, but as long as you have a DNRO and its official, and most of your...

  7. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I mean, I really think this is a good question, and it really is the meat and potatoes of this entire post. A lot of people believe that only people who are actively dying will have a DNR,...

  8. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    What state are you in? Because thats the only way anyone can help you learn how to let your coworkers know what to do and what counts and doesnt count. Oregon law is different from Florida law....

  9. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    LOL you might as well say "they are there to work, not worry about ANYONES code status," with that attitude. Its really not hard to glance down to see a bracelet or to look at the back of a...

  10. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I linked the statute and cited the sections that clarify that yes even BLS providers and Registered Nurses are included in the definition for EMS. But again. You refuse to educate yourself....

  11. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

  12. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Holy crap once again here we go. It's not UP TO YOU to determine whether someone else has rescinded their DNR. The object of the post is to determine if you would respect someones DNR. And...

  13. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes people are dying and are wanting pain meds or a breathing treatment only, to prolong life. What they do NOT want is HEROIC MEASURES. IDK why this is so doggone difficult. So, OK....

  14. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Sighhhh. WHATEVER. OK so lets just recap here, and skip the red herrings. The opening post is in reference to whether nurses will respect someones DNR. All that has been said, by...

  15. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I have made two examples on calling an ambulance, for someone with a DNR. Again, you are completely missing the entire point LOL but lets go ahead and go over this AGAIN. . If someone has DIED...

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    No. You are twisting it all around as usual. Someone used the example of their mom having a DNR and having metastatic breast cancer who had difficulty breathing, and their entire mentality is...

  17. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    My point exactly. The issue here I think is that so many people really only see these survivorship numbers and fail to recognize that there have been 2 million people killed by this virus...

  18. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I had therapy and no longer have PTSD symptoms. This isn't about mental health. Its about respecting decisions that are made between myself and my DOCTOR. And all you have to do is...

  19. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and medical professionals in MY state (If you are ever in Florida) are indeed REQUIRED to honor a DNR, including a portable one, as long as its completed and printed on yellow paper. ....

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Additionally, this is not about funeral planning. Funeral planning is a whole other topic. This is about a lanyard being moved away from the area where compressions would take place, and...

  22. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    The sticking part of the post is that there was a reasonable expectation of their coworkers respecting their right to refuse, via a legal and binding signed official DNR hanging from their lanyard...

  23. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    At times, yes a nurse has a duty to refuse to give the vaccine. For instance, if a person is medically considered "old-old" I.e. over 85, *and* frail, I.e. exceptionally vulnerable to anything, then...

  24. Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    Surfin USA replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, federal law prohibits employers mandating any emergency use vaccine, prior to FDA approval. The reasoning is mostly because efficacy is not especially clear yet, and neither are side...

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Once again, you failed to read the full page. There is a portable DNR. You just choose to not be informed of this, despite all the educational materials being at your fingertips. This is...
