  1. PT fall without injury

    delrionurse replied to Save1's topic in General Nursing

    May depend on several factors. If they have redness at site that they hit their head, weight of the patient, type of anticoagulant (warfarin, heparin, vs Eliquis), baseline orientation (x1 or x4)....

  2. Gave meds to wrong patient

    delrionurse replied to Cheyenne.'s topic in General Nursing

    I don't think malpractice will cover it if she wasn't covered at the time of the

  3. Gave meds to wrong patient

    delrionurse replied to Cheyenne.'s topic in General Nursing

    It was just a mistake. Stuff happens. Don't hand in your badge, that would be an emotional state, not logical. Take a PRN job if not full time, but don't give up. You worked hard for your license. As...

  4. New Grad seeking advice + reassurance: I will be taking 7 patients on med surg day shift

    delrionurse replied to emmaroseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I apologize for replying in that way. I just read the replies above and I felt it wasn't truthful to tell you there would be aides available to give you an illusion of if you build a good rapport they...

  5. New Grad seeking advice + reassurance: I will be taking 7 patients on med surg day shift

    delrionurse replied to emmaroseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a couple of things to add. Many aides are taken to go sit, meaning when you think you have 1 or 2 aides, they are often needed to be sitters or to do another task, meaning you are left to do all...

  6. LPN scope in ED

    delrionurse replied to WonderRN's topic in Emergency

    When I worked ED, LPN's worked in fast track, holding or non trauma areas. Lower acuity rooms. Never (initial) traumas, or triage level 1's. They never triaged or answered radio

  7. Need advice and direction

    delrionurse replied to Jaydan's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Hi, how are you doing? Where you able to find a

  8. Maintaining compact licensure

    delrionurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello everyone, I wanted to know if there is any way to maintain my compact licensure and move to a state with single state licensure. If I still consider my primary residence and mail with my...

    Thank you for your response. That really

  10. Nursing Student w/ Dwarfism at UMSON

    delrionurse replied to Hanan Miles's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Not only can you complete nursing school but there are doctors who are little people also, look up Jennifer Arnold. Also I knew a doctor who had a disability, and he did his rounds on his motorized...

  11. Smoking residents in LTC

    delrionurse replied to Avian c's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't make sense to be a 'healthcare organization' and requiring the nurse sit out there for the residents to smoke. Plus being responsible for the pts inside the building. Sitting with these...

  12. That's not what I had in mind

    delrionurse replied to amason2021's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Why should a woman put up with groping at a facility when they told management they felt uncomfortable and nothing was done. The CNA didn't feel comfortable providing care and let management know....

  13. West Coast University

    delrionurse replied to ElizabethTonoyan's topic in California Nursing

    Many people in the medical field start out as CNA's and work their way up. Whether it is CNA to RN, CNA to LVN to RN. Some people don't know if they want to be a nurse and taking a 2 month CNA class...

  14. Broken RN License

    delrionurse replied to RN217isbroken's topic in Nursing Career

    Have you tried a more rural area? You might have to drive a bit to sustain work. Some nurses I know drive 2 hours to work and stay in their camper for 3 12 hour shifts. This is in SNF's. Between...

  15. Management threatens nurses

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    You would have accept the consequences including corrective action, write up or whatever they do if you already accepted the shift. I am no legal expert, but you are protecting yourself if you say...

  16. Management threatens nurses

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    You may have to 1) deny an admission due to patient safety regardless of what the DON says 2) call before you're shift and tell them you need help on the floor (or call in) if they don't accommodate...

  17. I'm 60 yrs old. Is it too late for me to become a RN?

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

    I say go for it. If it is in your heart, then do it. I would just be careful about debt. See if you can get in to a community college

  18. Made a bad mistake

    delrionurse replied to Tierno's topic in General Nursing

    I can see the technical error, but it really is no big deal. You gave her half the dose because she said 15mg was too much. You were taking care of the patient. From an admin standpoint, it's a...

  19. Male nurses

    delrionurse replied to Lavi2343's topic in General Nursing

    There have been many male nurses in my jobs. It seems pretty equal to

  20. Academically dismissed

    delrionurse replied to nurseveronica's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure where in California you live, but I heard in So Cal it's harder to get in and there is a waiting list for some colleges. Especially if there are issues on your transcript. Is there a...

  21. Can I still go to nursing school with an academic dishonesty charge?

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

    Maybe the 'conduct' record is only visible to your current school? I would ask someone in the records department at the school and ask for a copy of your

  22. Why do we feel guilty about calling out?

    delrionurse replied to PizzaNurse2023's topic in General Nursing

    If you work 12 hours shifts (and on your feet) and not the standard 8 hours like everyone else, you shouldn't feel guilty. Management after years of knowing nurses call out, sick or for other reasons...

  23. RN supervisor put on LPN med cart, feels disrespected

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

    Not that it's appropriate, but is it possible they are not staffed correctly or have call offs so put you on the med cart to fill staffing

  24. Legality of nurse responsibilities

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    No. I must have lost you when you started mentioning flight nursing and critical care transport nurses. The OP was talking about a rural critical access hospital. Fewer

  25. Legality of nurse responsibilities

    delrionurse replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    No they don't. They might be forced to. With radiology reports that is the norm though. An 'out of state' doc interpreting the
