    Reabock replied to KacyLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to agree with you but question, who slipped up on the Q 1/2-1 hr HS rounds? Don't they routinely do those at your facility? Our Nurses or Aides check the pts at least Q hr thru the

  10. Type Of Pts Accepted on Telemetry??

    Reabock replied to SCNuttyMeg's topic in Cardiac

    Reabock replied to S5777's topic in General Nursing

  12. Polished the floors, so now ?

    Reabock replied to StatBlues's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong with continuing to be a floor nurse. We need more Indians and less folks aspiring to be Chiefs sometimes. I know that was not politically correct but sick people need seasoned...

  14. IV Push meds

    Reabock replied to RNNC2003's topic in General Nursing

    Good answers, same as we do here, especially about flushing the saline locke site. If it flushes that hard I'd be afraid I was pushing a clot thru and would cause a problem, so usually restart the...

    Reabock replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

  20. I need INPUT

    Reabock replied to Cooker93's topic in General Nursing

    I use a water bottle for humidification if the pt is c/o dry nose, throat or bloody nose at any of the lower amounts of o2. I think our CPT policy is to put it on at 3L and above but I will do it...
