    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    1mL? She reconstituted 10mg of vec with 1mL of NS or SW? Or did she actually take the 10mL of diluent that is supposed to be used, and then give 1mL? Because I call b.s. on that. If she reconstituted...

  5. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    MtnNurse, I think you are most likely a very compassionate, caring, loving individual, who believes that nurses do this job because of desire to do good and be good. There are good and bad in all...

    Grand juries and prosecutors usually are the ones who do this. However, it had to originate someplace. I do believe Emergent when she said that there is some political motivation, but I don't believe...

  18. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  24. Nurse Charged With Homicide

    HomeBound replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It hits home. Nobody likes to be held accountable, particularly nowadays. I am an old timer---so I see things a bit differently than some of the new nurses coming up. Who would trust an NP that has...

  25. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    HomeBound replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union
