  1. advice, please! medication error

    PANurseRN1 replied to mcksa's topic in General Nursing

    mcksa: Your pt. didn't die. It was a serious error, yes, but it was discovered before major harm was done. One suggestion would be to have a dedicated line and pump for insulin infusions. That may...

  2. advice, please! medication error

    PANurseRN1 replied to mcksa's topic in General Nursing

    Too many pts. for too few nurses, being tired because you've been mandated, inadequate/improper orientation, look-alike/sound-alike drugs, inattention to what one is doing...there are hundreds of...

  3. higher pay for BSN grads?

    PANurseRN1 replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    What an offensive thing to say! "Old-timers" are not the only ones who are guilty of treating other nurses badly; your own post is blatantly disrespectful to experienced nurses like me who do not...

  4. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    PANurseRN1 replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose when she has something new to report, she will. No need to tell everyone she's

  5. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    PANurseRN1 replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    Report someone to the BON for a med error or for being rude? Come on! If she was an MA posing as a nurse, yes, that should be reported, because it's a violation. Every quarter I get a newsletter from...

  6. Ethical Death or Not?

    PANurseRN1 replied to dinkysam's topic in General Nursing

    The suppository didn't kill her; her multiple disease processes killed her. Telling someone it's OK to let go is not illegal or unethical. Some pts. need to hear that. You were alleviating

  7. Weekend Bailer position/getting gyped?

    PANurseRN1 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They shouldn't have offered you the position until they were sure "Joe" no longer wanted it and had formally resigned. The law says he does have the right to ask that his position be held, which is...

  8. Bad, Bad Incident. Can you refuse to work a particular unit?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Is this the same unit as the one with the "gross out

  9. Weekend Bailer position/getting gyped?

    PANurseRN1 replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry, but "Joe" does have the right to request that his position be held. http://www.military.com/benefits/legal-matters/userra/overview I would look for something else. This doesn't sound like a...

  10. Robert Wood Johnson Univ Hospital Nurses to Strike

    PANurseRN1 replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry pyrolady; the Michigan situation does seem to have fallen by the wayside. Agree with your feelings on strike-breaking

  11. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    PANurseRN1 replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    Let's make sure that this was even a nurse. These days doctors' offices are staffed by lots of pseudo-nurses; aides, medical assistants, etc. who are referred to as nurses. I would call the office...

  12. I Put In My Notice!!!...Now what???

    PANurseRN1 replied to msmel321's topic in General Nursing

    You have a lot to learn. Big difference between corporate v. health care: No one dies from a mistake on a budget, but people can die from mistakes a nurse makes. And when a nurse is overwhelmed and...

  13. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    "Because the doctor thinks so..." sure makes the nurse look like some blind handmaiden just follows doctors orders. I agree with the other poster who said the OP really doesn't want input as she...

  14. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I am now starting to suspect that this is a troll post. The OP is in her first year, and already she has seen rampant abuses of patients in a variety of clinical areas? That just doesn't wash. I don't...

  15. Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    PANurseRN1 replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    No, we just don't like your thinly veiled suggestions that many of us are out there committing assault and battery on our patients. Maybe we also don't care for someone who is still in her first year...

  16. What would you do if you worked with a racist?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Happytocare's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can bet the ranch that if the nurse had called the doc a Nazi she would have been fired

  17. higher pay for BSN grads?

    PANurseRN1 replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Excellent

  18. LNA teacher threatened by student

    PANurseRN1 replied to dorieabsLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Terrific...just what this country needs. More people packing. You do know that research has borne out consistently that people who carry firearms are more likely to have their weapons used against...

    Sick.

  20. The Today Show

    PANurseRN1 replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    What are facilites supposed to do...make some sort of announcement in the pt. handbook that says who wears what color? We're not schoolchildren, and I hate that comparison. There is no reason for...

  21. Should Nurses be required to obtain a bachelors degree?

    PANurseRN1 replied to kristen3g3tp8's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a failing on the nurses' part, and they certainly do not need psychiatric counseling. There are also innumerable threads about why nurses leave the profession. If you utilize the search...

  22. Should Nurses be required to obtain a bachelors degree?

    PANurseRN1 replied to kristen3g3tp8's topic in General Nursing

    Can we please have this thread shut down before the

  24. Update on Gross Out Co-Worker

    PANurseRN1 replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Not just you. I haven't believed any of this for one red-hot

  25. Thanks to our "veterans"

    PANurseRN1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I want give a public "thank you" to the nurses here who are veterans--those of us with 10+ years of nursing. You get bonus points if you've been in nursing at least half of your life! :wink2: We have...
