  1. Can you search anyone in the controlled substance monitoring database?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Nveez's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    You're clearly not the NP in this scenario. If a nurse practitioner co-worker has accessed your protected health information without consent or clinical cause within a provider-patient relationship,...

  2. Diastolic pressure- last sound or silence??

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SleepDeprived101's topic in General Students

    Keep in mind that there is no real clinical difference between 125/79 vs 125/78, so it's kind of a non-issue. The last sound you hear is separated from silence by 1 mmHg.

  3. Incident Report

    Closed Account 12345 replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    Your reaction was inappropriate and unprofessional. You chose to make another nurse uncomfortable, and possibly intimidated, just for the sake of being rude. Your conversation served no productive...

  4. Seeking Constructive Feedback

    Closed Account 12345 replied to TECHTORNHOPEFULLY's topic in General Nursing

    "Thanks for offering to help, but I've worked in the ER 15 years and am known as one of the better sticks around here. I'm not looking for new techniques when mine works so well!" I think that...

  5. I hate my clinical professor, would this be a good idea to ask her?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to cookie123d's topic in General Students

    This is an awfully strong judgment of someone you've never personally observed in the clinical setting. Since your primary source for this opinion is previous students who didn't do well under...

  6. Nursing educators: Why did you become a teacher?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to iNurs5's topic in General Students

    I love learning, and I enjoy helping others learn. Teaching others to be safe, competent, caring nurses leads to improved patient outcomes. If every student I teach ends up being a little better of...

  7. Bad Clinical Instructor

    Closed Account 12345 replied to delrionurse's topic in General Students

    1. Paying tuition and fees to an institute of higher education doesn't mean that *you* become the faculty's employer. 2. Paying tuition and fees doesn't mean you get to make policies or...

  8. texas first renewal after endorsement

    Closed Account 12345 replied to natashabhanji's topic in General Nursing

    Yes!

  9. RN With Contamination OCD - Please Help!

    Closed Account 12345 replied to FSZ Student Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My job is not even messy, and to this day, I still strip down before entering my house. Work shoes permanently stay in the garage. Work purse permanently stays in the garage. Used scrubs stay in the...

  10. Working the floor after a job interview!? WOW!...

    Closed Account 12345 replied to CritCareTech's topic in General Nursing

    If I, as a patient, learned that my body was exposed to and clinically cared for by a non-employee, without a background check, with pending charges, without required HIPAA training, without a...

  11. Tobacco free environment and testing for nicotine. Lawful? Thoughts?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    1) Not a protected class 2) Think of the impact on patients with sensitive respiratory systems when cared for by someone who comes in reeking of smoke. Being around anything remotely smokey...

  12. Pronouncing Death

    Closed Account 12345 replied to MyAimIsTrue's topic in General Nursing

    Have you verified that it is within the scope of RNs in your state to pronounce

  13. Commissioning a patient?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to aikaser2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Any time one patient is offered preferential treatment over another, or any time your personal life is blended with your patient's personal life, a violation of professional boundaries has occurred....

  14. Preceptor Made Me Feel Like I Should Leave Nursing

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Nurse12390's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak to your performance to give feedback, but I can say this as a parent. If I were ever in the horrible situation of my newborn child being critically ill and heading towards a code, I...

  15. New grad

    Closed Account 12345 replied to 011223's topic in General Nursing

    Each state has its own Nurse Practice Act, so this will be unique to where you live. It should be accessible on your Board of Nursing's website. As a starting place, read about your state's standards...

  16. Susceptible to Misinformation: Why Do We Believe What We Believe?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it's pretty clear that the public education system has failed this nation by turning out poorly educated graduates for at least the past two decades. According to the Nation's Report...

  17. Unfair Grading

    Closed Account 12345 replied to RoseTh93's topic in General Students

    Instead of graciously accepting the feedback you've received in this thread, you continue to challenge all responses. Your instructor's replies sound gentle and kind, not defensive. I would encourage...

  18. Jill Biden, ED.D.

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    She holds a doctoral degree, and, therefore, she has earned the title of doctor. As long as she isn't presenting herself as a medical doctor, I don't see the problem. Her title is academic, not...

  19. Do you recommend a year of med/surg in 2021?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to FolksBtrippin's topic in General Nursing

    I don't recommend a year of Med-Surg for anyone, in any year, except nurses who would like to work in Med-Surg and gain that experience. Think about diabetes. The way a diabetic is treated in a...

  20. Why doctors never write diagnosis for their prescribed pills?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    The clinical rationale isn't routinely part of a physician's order (barring exceptions like PRN meds, sliding scale, etc.). This is why nurses must ask themselves if an order is safe and makes sense...

  21. Pushed by quacks, use of Ivermectin is poisoning people

    Closed Account 12345 replied to nursej22's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I find this comment so off-putting, especially by someone who is theoretically FMP and PMHNP certified. If you're employed in either of those capacities, you've seen the long term fall out of COVID....

  22. RN Doing Non-RN Duties

    Closed Account 12345 replied to NurseAnnie123's topic in General Nursing

    Legally, as an RN providing (even limited) patient care, you'd be held to the standards of your RN license. It would be a good idea to renew your BLS regardless of your organization's

  23. Change of shift nurse’s notes. Redundant? Necessary?

    Closed Account 12345 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Documenting the transfer of care itself is not redundant. It shows the time you are no longer responsible for the patient's care and that you properly transferred the care to another nurse (no period...

  24. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

    Closed Account 12345 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I told myself I wouldn't answer these baiting posts anymore, but I am genuinely curious about something. Based on your own posts, you, your peers, your patients and their families all...

  25. Salary For Clinical Instructor

    Closed Account 12345 replied to Ravensfan's topic in General Nursing

    It really just depends! You probably won't find that pay is negotiable. -I made $9,000 for the semester at one job (16 weeks, 9 hours per week). That amounted to $62.50 per hour, which was...
