  1. EMS abandonment?

    PANurseRN1 replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    If the ED was really busy, the charge may have had her own pts. It's not always feasible to have someone at the ready for when EMS arrives. Theier definition of "5 minutes" can vary. And I have...

  2. LPNs NOT Medicating??

    PANurseRN1 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    In the hospital setting? Because that would be the day I stopped working as an RN. CNA passing meds to my ED and surgical pts? Not on my license, no

  3. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Have you considered that maybe your interactions with your colleagues may be part of the problem? Are you often telling them how "At the other hospital, we used to do it this way..."? Do you say...

    Sigh...you don't know what you don't

  5. Am I the only one that hates clinical?

    PANurseRN1 replied to scubadooII's topic in General Students

    Wow...what is your problem? FWIW, you're still a student, so you are hardly in a place to say what the "real deal on nursing" is. You aren't a nurse yet. Cut your fellow students some slack. (Can I...

    PANurseRN1 replied to scubadooII's topic in General Students

    Geez...ask a sincere question, get a snarky

    Not only that, but what do some of these questions have to do with the title of the

  8. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    PANurseRN1 replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is an excellent reply. Encapsulates exactly what caring for the "whole pt" is all about. I do have a question, though. If pusing an elevator button is considered "work," wouldn't someone taking...

  11. IV starts

    PANurseRN1 replied to NurseWi_JennJenn's topic in General Nursing

    I think she means "wheal," the small bubble that is formed if you use saline/buffered lido intradermally at the site prior to starting the IV. It helps reduce the pain of the IV

  12. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    PANurseRN1 replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think caroladybelle was saying you had to do it. She was simply relating what she chooses to do. No need to get your nose out of joint. Why should you have to know this? I guess you don't if...

  13. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    PANurseRN1 replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe she just wanted a break but was afraid to say so...there are a lot of breastfeeding zealots out there who would have jumped on her with all four feet for being so "selfish" as to ask for a...

  14. New Grads - Rotten Shifts?

    PANurseRN1 replied to MililaniMom's topic in General Nursing

    What a crappy thing for that hospital to do to those nurses who were waiting for a day slot to open. Had I been one of those nurses, you can bet I would have made my feelings known to HR and the...

  15. New Grads - Rotten Shifts?

    PANurseRN1 replied to MililaniMom's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on how well/understaffed hospitals are in your area. Usually, there is a wait to get day positions. I hate to break it to you, but you'll also be expected to do your share of...

  16. NO way! Narcan deal part III!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I would get an attorney. Do not depend on management to have your back. If you can find a nurse atty., more's the better. The nurse and the family sound unstable, and it wouldn't surprise me if either...

  17. Should nurses be forced to take charge against their will?

    PANurseRN1 replied to vernessa's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm sorry, but I think this post is bogus. A whole bottle of nitro? How did you even get hold of an entire bottle of nitro? If you really did do that, you deserved to be fired. A whole bottle of nitro...

    Yeah, then you could screw up majorly and lose your license, or fall asleep driving home and kill yourself or someone else. That would be

  22. New Grad - can't keep it together.

    PANurseRN1 replied to vegnurse21's topic in General Nursing

    Did you really want an answer to your questions, or was this just a sideways rant against experienced nurses? For the OP: 4 weeks is definitely not enough time for a new nurse to feel comfortable....

  23. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    And this is where you have no clue what it's like to actually be the nurse with the license. You may think you're doing "80% of the work," but the nurse who is precepting you is still responsible for...

  24. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I really, really resent the "old fossil" remark. That is so offensive. If you are seeing experienced nurses as "old fossils," then that tells me all I need to know about why you have problems with...

  25. two full time jobs for a new grad

    PANurseRN1 replied to shyinla2004's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God, ED no less. As someone who works prn in the ED, in addition to a regular job, don't even think about it. If you have to bail on the hospital that sponsored you and pay them back, do that...
