  1. BD instye autoguard angiocaths- difficulty

    PANurseRN1 replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    We use Medex "ProtectIV Plus," but anesthesia uses the Isytes. They hate our cathlons and we don't like theirs. Guess it just depends on what you're used to. I always turn the cathlon a bit to...

    PANurseRN1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, the "Ask not..." is a great line, but its application here is inapt. There are some people, owing to mental illness or profound disability, who will need our assistance. At the risk of sounding...

  8. Uninsured patients increase in number....

    PANurseRN1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Instead of continuing to blame people who are long gone, what suggestions do you have to improve the situation? This is so bizarre; what is your agenda here, other than to make sure blame gets...

  9. Uninsured patients increase in number....

    PANurseRN1 replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Disbelieve all you want. I experienced it up front and personal when an injury knocked me out of being able to work for almost a year (not work related, unfortunately). I've been working since I was...

  10. Night shift naps

    PANurseRN1 replied to NiteRocker's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Interesting that it's OK for docs in the ED to sleep. Their job is so much harder, though, poor things are probably exhausted from all the stress. If it's on your break, then I guess it shouldn't be a...

  11. M/S 1st year--don't know if I can do this...........

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

    I think sometimes people confuse being "supportive" with "never saying anything that could be remotely construed as criticism." You should be getting feedback, both positive and negative from your...

  15. A nurse ate me as her young and I'm still paying for it

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

    This is an excellent case in point why new nurses should not be allowed to work

  16. A nurse ate me as her young and I'm still paying for it

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

    Yes. First, stop referring to experienced nurses as "old, stale nurses." That old, stale nurse may have been out of line to chew you out, but not knowing about the heparin protocol was very serious....

  17. very stressed med surg rn gets a new job!

    PANurseRN1 replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    My goodness! Twenty-nine years of med-surg! You should get a Medal of Valor for that. You will bring a wealth of experience to your new position in hospice.

  18. Paid Maternity Leave? FMLA?

    PANurseRN1 replied to rn_happy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If she had enough paid time off accrued, it's possible. FMLA only guarantees you 12 weeks of time off (if you meet FMLA requirements) without losing your job. Whether or not you're paid depends on how...

  19. Nurses Eat Their Young

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

    I am asking, no, BEGGING, that the moderators put an end to the numerous threads about horrible "older" nurses. They are degrading and serve little useful purpose. Suppose new nurses had to come here...

    PANurseRN1 replied to SNKerri's topic in General Nursing
