  1. 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...

  2. 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...

  3. 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...

  4. 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...

  5. 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?)?...

  6. 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...

  7. 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

    You have poor

  9. 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...

  10. 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...

  11. 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...

  12. 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

  13. 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...

  14. 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

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    delrionurse replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    Some of these schools operated under other names

  18. 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

  19. LPN LTC - evil nurses

    delrionurse replied to ButterflyBuns's topic in General Nursing

    Are you in a large metro area or just LTC. If so I can see how you developed that attitude. Large urban areas seem more aloof to patient care. Not all areas are like that. Burnout is not a good

  20. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    delrionurse replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    You should be fine as long as you didn't 'buy' a diploma. You just going to the school shouldn't be a problem. If you didn't do anything dishonest, your LVN license shouldn't be

  21. Help! Starting bridge program bad

    delrionurse replied to Lvn_XR's topic in General Students

    For the tests try to do as many questions as possible, such as using quizlet, Lewis med surg nursing study guide, HESI review on the content that you are studying even before the lecture starts. You...

  22. Potassium and I.V.s

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone know if potassium will be less painful if the I.V. is in the antecubital area rather than the forearm? What gauge I.V. works best?

  23. Schools under fire! Fake Degrees Caught!

    delrionurse replied to ASN2016's topic in Nursing News

    Wonder if those who received licenses will continue to work or if the boards will investigate the previous

  24. BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

    delrionurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I also interpreted this as the reason she/he was reported. Documentation was started when the nurse was not

  25. New LVN emergency situations

    delrionurse replied to reyesmegan1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I know this post was from a while ago but..there are many times when the Dr is not available at a LTC (I'm assuming this is LTC), most often they are not reliable. If unsure and unable to stabilize...
