1. Looking for thoughts/opinions of experienced nurses

   Eeks replied to FashionablyL8's topic in General Nursing

   I can think of a lot of different conditions that could drop a BP that low in less than 15 minutes and most are life threatening. It's scary thinking someone so medically unaware is managing care of patients AKA your supervisor. Your gut is one of yo...

2. Medication Error in School

   Eeks replied to uofanurse's topic in School

   Bullet point 2 absolves you from guilt in my opinion. Hopefully you have nurse practice insurance (we all should always). Perhaps you can get legal aid through your insurance? It sounds like you were wrongfully suspended to me and that's loss of wage...

   Eeks posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hi guys, just looking for some advice or experiences. I'm fairly new to a facility where I am now acting as a vaccine nurse. I had to transport our vaccines to another facility and, long story short, I did not package them properly. I thought I did u...
