  1. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    pseudonym87 replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I’m imploring all of my colleagues to settle down. The OP should feel free to have a forum where she can anonymously ask questions like this. After all, it’s better to be berated online than in...

  2. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    pseudonym87 replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Personally, I would only report colleagues to the BON in instances of neglect, prescribing without a license, going outside of your scope and actual or potential harm to a patient due to someone’s...

  3. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I had a similar experience in nursing. After 4 years of the nonsense, it felt like I was constantly in a battle to simply get the resources we needed to care for our patients. I quit 1.5 years ago and...

  4. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    In my previous comments I had more sympathy for the nurse. I’m fact I assumed that there was some sort of short staffing issue that may have led to this. But after reading the legal documents and...

  5. I'm So Over Nursing. I would rather work at Costco!!

    pseudonym87 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    The beautiful thing about nursing is that there is a plethora of opportunities away from the bedside. Nursing is a beautiful profession, but at some point, some of us, need to step away from the...

    pseudonym87 replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    First, I want to address the fact that you’re making valid points regarding the mistreatment of nurses by management and physicians. I’ve experienced it and dealt with it and is one of the...

  7. Assessing the student on drugs

    pseudonym87 replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    I'm not a school nurse, but after reading the consistency among all of you in your responses, it makes me really glad to see you advocating for the students and not allowing your position to be used...

  11. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Susie I agree with you. I'm not concerned with the consequences of being fired on the individual nurse. Instead, I'm more concerned with other nurses being afraid to speak up or document incidents if...

  12. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, to err is human. That's a fact of life. We can either use this as a lesson to make sure this never happens again or we can be vultures and breed a culture that promotes keeping secrets...

  13. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I see the point you're making and I agree with you. When someone comes to work impaired or diverts drugs even once, this person's license is subject to revocation. Usually, however, the Board of...

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. Absolutely gross negligence. The entire person needs to be assessed- her work performance evaluations, previous incidents, etc. Using The Whole Person method, she can be appropriately...

  18. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It's unprofessionalism which also violates the nurse practice act. You have not seen everything the board of nursing will weigh in their determination to take action against her. To think that you can...

  19. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    pseudonym87 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    How dare you even say that a nurse should lose her license without knowing her, her work ethic, the quality of her work throughout her tenure, and without knowing all of the facts. The CMS report does...

  20. Bare bones staffing

    pseudonym87 replied to smf0903's topic in Critical Care

    Generally speaking 2 nurses. The only time it was acceptable as 1 nurse 1 aide is a pre-op unit that hadn't been opened yet. But that's a no brained, lol. In the event of a code, 2 RN's for sure at...

    I know this is an older post, but in case you're still looking, I'd say just keep applying. Definitely work on getting your nursing certifications and become involved with QI committees and projects...

  23. Kicked out of nursing school, I don't know what to do now

    pseudonym87 replied to Ac4414's topic in General Students

    Sorry you got kicked out. I'd suggest doing a deep dive into investigating whether or not nursing is the right career for you. Not because you failed pharm, but because sometimes, things in life...

  24. Snow Days....

    pseudonym87 replied to Kareylea's topic in General Nursing

    There are varying opinions in the nursing profession regarding snow days and nurse safety and I would like to address them here. As a nurse, we have an obligation to our patients. As a human, we have...
