  1. Please be nice to medical students

    Deleted; double

  2. RN's who cannot insert IV's being Fired???

    PANurseRN1 replied to maidy's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not characterize "older" nurses as being typically difficult to new nurses. New nurses can be just as hard on their own. There is no room for ageism in this

  3. RN's who cannot insert IV's being Fired???

    PANurseRN1 replied to maidy's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously?

  4. Please be nice to medical students

    PANurseRN1 replied to cantor2537's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the CRNA shoved you out of the way because the pt was becoming, oh, I don't know...hypoxic? Needed an airway? Sometimes, there really isn't any time to say, "Excuse me, would you mind very much...

  5. RN's who cannot insert IV's being Fired???

    PANurseRN1 replied to maidy's topic in General Nursing

    Then you learn how to do it, plain and

  6. What's a good ER magazine for learning?

    PANurseRN1 replied to vampireslayer's topic in Emergency

    RN is kind of Mickey Mouse; if you want a general nursing mag., Nursing 2006 is OK. JEN is an excellent magazine, particularly for an ED nurse. Back when I was a student (long, long time ago) we...

  7. broviacs-to flush or not to flush

    PANurseRN1 replied to lesrn2005's topic in General Nursing

    What's you facility's

  8. victim of biggot school

    PANurseRN1 replied to sanchy's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing that you've posted fits the critera of bigotry. How has your instructor treated you unfairly in matters or race, religious preference, or political afiliation? I haven't seen anything you've...

  9. What is the answer to this crazy question?

    PANurseRN1 replied to peaceful's topic in General Nursing

    My guess was "B," but it was based on a gut

  10. victim of biggot school

    PANurseRN1 replied to sanchy's topic in General Nursing

    Holy cow. You need to learn the definition of bigotry--fast. Your comments are perilously close to slander. It's simply impossible to take your claims seriously when your posts are so unclear. Your...

  11. Suspended without prior write ups

    PANurseRN1 replied to rehab nurse's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with giving the scheduled med and the prn together is you did not have an opportunity to assess the effect of the scheduled med. I would have given the scheduled med first, reassessed the...

  12. What can a RN delegate to a CNA?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Angelfish1234's topic in General Nursing

    I would never let a CNA d/c an IV. How am I supposed to document that the cathlon was intact (or not) and that the site was healthy (or not)? As far as aides who want more responsibility, it's quite...

  13. DNR and Narcan?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice pts. do not become "addicted" to their pain medication. Addiction is a psychological craving for a substance; pts. with addiction have no therapeutical need to take the med. Hospice pts. do...

  14. 1st Med error... and a valuable lesson!

    PANurseRN1 replied to clee1's topic in General Nursing

    If you think you will never make a med error again, you are

  15. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

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

    She has said it many, many times in the past. Look through her old posts if you don't believe

  16. ASN or BSN poll

    PANurseRN1 replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't answer because I graduated from a hospital based diploma program. The "certificate" option sounds like something you'd find on the back of a cereal

  17. End of Life Decision Making

    PANurseRN1 replied to taighwilliam's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    If you cannot accept that some people believe that there is no life after death and can still go through the dying process peacefully, then you shouldn't care for those pts. Just because you need to...

  18. need help getting out of dangerous job!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cali_Nurse05's topic in General Nursing

    You are not obligated to assume responsibility for pts. when you are not adequately trained to care for them. If I walked into my job and was told I was being pulled to NICU, not only would I walk...

  19. NY State may require nurses to obtain 4-year degrees

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

    Maybe where you're from, but no one says that sort of thing here. Where I work, nurses are encouraged to take advantage of educational opportunities. My hosp. has an arrangement with a university for...

  20. suspended license

    PANurseRN1 replied to jmb62's topic in General Nursing

    The pt. was a home care pt. He had no authority to demand the daughter sign for the meds, particularly since, as a free-lance HHC worker, he was not acting under the P&P of an

  21. End of Life Decision Making

    PANurseRN1 replied to taighwilliam's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Some people believe in life after death, others don't. You can't assume that that belief is a comfort for your pt. If there was ever a time to keep one's personal beliefs out of one's practice, it is...

  22. Silent birth? Anyone see one?

    PANurseRN1 replied to Sis123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Very, very offensive, and very, very uninformed. Perhaps you should not care for Jehovah's Witness pts. in the future; you've obviously got some issues with their faith which seriously impairs your...

  23. suspended license

    PANurseRN1 replied to jmb62's topic in General Nursing

    Probably not. What regulations do you have to follow to maintain a provider number? Is there a scope of practice spelled out? The daughter is the primary caregiver for the pt. She has the ultimate...

  24. need help getting out of dangerous job!

    PANurseRN1 replied to Cali_Nurse05's topic in General Nursing

    I simply would not stay in a job that compromised my license. It's a lot easier to rebuild a resume than it is to reinstate a license that's beein

  25. "From doctors to beautiful ladies..."

    PANurseRN1 replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it has anything to do with nurses not recognizing what they contribute. We know what we do. It's a matter of choosing your battles. If you're going to get offended every time someone...
