  1. Torn Between Two Hospitals as a New Grad

    delrionurse replied to Erica Renee's topic in General Nursing

    The OP planning the move would be disloyal. If they didn't plan the move, I.e. the hospital gives high acuity patients, no tech, 3 admissions and a discharge within the last 30 mins of the shift,...

  2. NFL Star D'Brickashaw Ferguson Embarks on a New Journey to Nursing School

    delrionurse replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Right. You can become a nurse at any age. Some start at 20, some start at

  3. NFL Star D'Brickashaw Ferguson Embarks on a New Journey to Nursing School

    delrionurse replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    That's great. I hope he pursues which ever specialty he desires. You can meet your goals at any

  4. Advice for breaking nurse residency contract

    delrionurse replied to HayRayRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Also you're not told that the facility didn't meet their end of the contract. A 1-6, 1-7 patient ratio when told it would be less, and with no tech, they are breaking the

  5. Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    delrionurse replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Out of state is actually easier to get into than CA. Maybe not all but they are more accepting of some errors (such as a trip up with A&P, pharmacology, etc, retakes) and the directors are easier...

  6. Question about Going Out of State as a California resident

    delrionurse replied to rougewitch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your options seem to be either wait for a couple of years to see if you can get into a CSU/UC, or pay the private college tuition. Have you considered a community college in CA? If you moved, you...

  7. Almost Half of Michigan Nurses Relate Patient Death to Staff Shortages, Survey Reports

    delrionurse replied to Praveen's topic in Nursing News

    Working 12 hours with no break and on your feet with no supervisor or head in administration advocating for you gets old after a while. All it takes is to ASK the nurses on the floor 'are you getting...

  8. My professor isn't the easiest to deal with.

    delrionurse replied to ForJanesSake ASN RN's topic in General Students

    Present the right to review questions to the teacher with hard copy proof, or your dean. Many professors don't want students to challenge their questions and don't tell students they can do this for...

  9. Dangers of open ICU?

    delrionurse replied to Aloe_sky's topic in General Nursing

    I'd document this in the patients chart. The hospital is not a carnival. Patients are critically ill and they deserve safety. I would also write up an incident report. That is negligence on the...

  10. Unprofessional Behavior

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have started a new position and am feeling bullied and targeted by the charge nurse. It is a high volume environment, so I understand there is pressure. But this nurse has yelled at me in front...

  11. NPO except for medications

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all. I wanted to get some insight on how much fluid this entails. If the patient is going for a procedure or surgery, but has an order for NPO except for medications, how much fluid do you...

  12. Moderate Sedation & documentation

    delrionurse posted a topic in Emergency

    Hi, I haven't done this documentation yet, but I wanted to know do ER nurses have to do moderate sedation documentation for their patients who receive it (pre, intra and post documentation?)?...

  13. NPO except for medications

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what's so upsetting about this. It's just a term. I'm not saying 'b' I am not saying 'id..' I am not saying anything like that. It's not meant to be rude. People speak like that all the...

  14. NPO except for medications

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is ma'am. But you use the term 'related'. You switched it on me. It is everyone's responsibility to make sure the patient is

  15. NPO except for medications

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    You have poor

  16. NPO except for medications

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    Then the order needs to specify "meds need to be given ONLY with sips of water, otherwise NO MEDS!" These EHR'S and slips in doctor responsibility is getting too much. As if they have NO...

  17. Unprofessional Behavior

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for responding. I was doing an I.V. medication and I fumbled through setting up the pump, because I was nervous about being watched and she had made snide comments before so that made...

  18. Documentation has ruined nursing

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    The amount of time documenting and the erroneous ridiculous repetitiveness of one important finding can take 5-10 minutes to document. Dare you say the patient had a headache a week ago or right leg...

  19. Moderate Sedation & documentation

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in Emergency

    Since I didn't get any replies I'll answer the question as I have looked it up. Yes, the nurse documents the moderate

  20. NPO except for medications

    delrionurse replied to delrionurse's topic in General Nursing

    Or just give the meds as ordered and communicate with the anesthesiologist/provider the amount that was given if there is doubt. But I think there should be 'don't exceed 30mls, 60mls', etc b/c some...

  21. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    delrionurse replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    I'm curious if Florida is going to report how many nurses are working in their state are from these schools. It seems a catch 22 to revoke the same licenses that you

  22. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    delrionurse replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    Florida Board of Nursing must have issued the ATT based on their acceptance of the schools. I'm curious as to if they warned other boards of schools under investigation. Some of these investigations...

  23. Funny Question

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello, just curious about something. I have a friend that was asked something by someone in upper management. He gave her a good job opportunity as a nurse, she declined due to the demands of...

  24. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    delrionurse replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    Some of these schools operated under other names

  25. Have you ever left in the middle of a shift?

    delrionurse replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to be misleading. Do you really think a nurse would and risk abandonment? If you don't work as a floor nurse, you are
