  1. Tech falsified vitals

    Have Nurse replied to Presbynurse12345's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree that nurses are responsible, however, this aide needs to be reported to the State Registry's office and have her certification yanked. In addition, I would report this to the Administrator of...

  2. Q about patients questioning meds

    Have Nurse replied to TLS9544's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are asking a very good question. Patients have the right to know what they are getting. In school, you were taught not only to understand what you are giving, but possible side effects in...

  6. Eating the patients' food?

    Have Nurse replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    We had a policy on our floor that if a patient goes home, then it's ok to consume, as the kitchen will toss it. If they refuse, we still save it in case they change their minds, as they sometimes do....

  7. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

    Have Nurse replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    My dear young friend, When I read your post, it brought tears to my eyes. Not because of your described appearance, but because of your sweet sensitive nature and my understanding due my many years...

  11. Cancelling a contract

    Have Nurse replied to nursy_2014's topic in Travel

    Well, if it was me, I'd take the hotel and car rental from my company, and contact my creditors and explain what happened with the understanding that you will catch up after your contract is

  12. Is this legal?

    Have Nurse replied to Gabbym441's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Sounds like it might be a good idea though to have a quiet respectful meeting to clear the air on this. I would be curious to know why your boss seems to think you or for that matter, your...

  13. Foley Catheter Issue?

    Have Nurse replied to JustANurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes the saline can be a bit irritating for some, but I haven't seen it much. If you have a good urine return and no visible blood, and he's functioning fine, you should be

  14. Mistake on orientation..please help

    Have Nurse replied to MommyRN89's topic in Patient Medications

    I agree. In the Pharmacology of my nurses training, we were taught to triple check everything, including times because anyone including Pharmacy and a computer, can make mistakes. Let it roll off...

  16. It's not my job to pray with you.

    Have Nurse replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    To say it is "over the line" is a bit strong here. Nursing meets the patient holistically. Caring for the spirit in addition to the physical, mental and emotional needs is all part of the puzzle....

  17. If you apply and accept a job, don't bail out for no good reason

    Have Nurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I would like you to revisit this argument. "Employees shouldn't feel obligated to offer anything that employers don't offer." What do you mean by that? If an employer drops a new employee within 90...

  18. Long hair at the bedside

    Have Nurse replied to kakamegamama's topic in General Nursing

    It is usually part of the dress code for those doing patient care or those who work in Maintenance or Housekeeping. If a staff member is noticed with it down and loose, they are instructed to tie it...

  19. Thinking about accepting HH job-questions

    Have Nurse replied to Lindah52's topic in Home Health

    I don't know. I would say she has some good questions and just needs some information. She is a seasoned nurse. That's the best kind of nurse to have in Home Health. She won't have machines to...

  20. new nurse advice. screwed up?

    Have Nurse replied to introuble7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You mentioned her surgery but with those vitals I wondered what her blood loss was....? Definitely would have called. It's ok to do that, even if a nurse tells you not to, especially if that's your...

  22. Do you look up the push rate for IVP meds?

    Have Nurse replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    Amen and hallelujah to that! No IV meds should be given by a nurse without first looking them up. The action of the medication is just too quick for something to go

  23. Out of curiousity

    Have Nurse replied to Jighalo20's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You poor kid! It's going to be ok. You are right to follow protocols. Odd things can happen on occasion. As you stated, their was no blood or fluid contact. I agree with our colleagues. It's a...
