  1. Elective Primary C/S

    God forbid you should look like you just had a baby.
  2. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    Fabulous!
  3. Questions for breastfeeding nurses...

    As long as they, in turn, support the rest of the staff in getting their breaks,
  4. Haven't worked in that particular position, but I did go from home care to ED. It can be done. Good
  5. Shocked At Nurses Actions Tonight

    FYI, not all JW nurses refuse to hang blood. It's an individual conscience
  6. With all due respect, you are not a nurse, so you really don't have the knowledge and skills to advise someone who is a nurse how she should better organize
  7. Sitters, give 'em a break!

    You are correct. In my state, once those restraints come off you need a new order to put them back on...there's no such thing as "prn" restraints. So I would be furious to find out a sitter was taking...
  8. Sitters, give 'em a break!

    If you took restraints off my pt. without asking me first, I would make sure your work day ended right then and there. You are way out of bounds if you do that. I'm surprised no one has called you on...
  9. Sitters, give 'em a break!

    Amen,Tweety! I just love when people who aren't nurses come here to tell us how to do our job.
  10. Emergency Nursing Intervention!

    Don't touch the
  11. Narcan?

    The only times I ever gave Narcan were for true resp. depression or for heroin ODs. This sounds like it was unnecessary if the pt's resp. status was not
  12. The War with the Floors

    And this is what drives ED nurses crazy. We're either getting yelled at for bringing the pt. too soon or taking too long to bring the pt. I mean, we're sorry that you have to take another pt., but we...
  13. Heart Attack Grill (20/20 ABC show)

    Good point, P_RN. I've been disturbed by some of the "nurse" avatars, but they don't violate TOS,
  14. I need a nursing Dx for C-section in PACU...

    These are not relevant to
  15. Wisconsin Nurse being charged with criminal neglect

    I don't think experienced nurses have become inured to the seriousness of med errors. I think we have just come to realize over the years that even the best nurse makes a mistake from time to time,...
  16. Wisconsin Nurse being charged with criminal neglect

    If you're no longer a student, then you need to update your user profile. Yes, she willfully breached the safety systems. It was not done out of malice, so far as anyone can see. She should be...
  17. Wisconsin Nurse being charged with criminal neglect

    As a nursing student, you are really not in a position to judge someone who is a licensed nurse, especially someone with years of experience. You do not know what it is like to work as an RN. It is...
  18. First Impression of Nursing School

    Why the snarky comment about the younger (high school) people there? There are plenty of excellent nurses who went to nursing school straight from high school. There are many second career RNs out...
  19. It's patronizing, pedantic posts like this that make me want to whack my head against a wall for a few minutes. ETA: Ah, nursing student. That explains
  20. What's special about male nurses?

    What makes male nurses special? Nothing. What makes nurses special? Now that's a whole different
  21. young LPN

    ?????
  22. living with a chronic condition

    FMLA would not apply until the OP has worked for the emplyer for one year and at least 1,250 hours. FMLA does not have to be taken in a large block of time. It can be taken from several hours to a...
  23. living with a chronic condition

    Unless you live with migraines, you have no idea how offensive the "just a headache" comment
  24. It's that time again! Working Christmas?

    Shame on that nurse manager for caving to such an infantile tactic. She's now reinforced that if you want something, all you have to do is pitch a big fit and you'll get it. I hope this woman's...
  25. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    What are you seeing that makes you suspect she's diverting? If you have strong suspicions you shouldn't need to be asking for signs. You had better have all of your ducks in a row before you even...
