    Transfering Multistate License

    When you relocate from one eNLC state to another you have either 30 or 90 days, depending upon state, during which you can work on your previous state's license. When you are issued your new license...

    If someone is in cardiac arrest ans receiving CPR, why is brain death even a

    Liar, liar pants on fire!

    Actually not true. According to Ballotpedia North Carolina General Assembly the salary for a state legislator is $13,951 plus $104 per diem for those days at the capital when the legislature is in...
  4. Again, this was not spoken by the family members, it was something that was being watched. Are you suggesting that patients and their family members shouldn't watch something that you find
  5. The OP stated that the family was watching this, not speaking it themselves. Further, she stated that the ...child was not definitely old enough to have discourse about the topic. What, and who,...
  6. Regardless of whether you agree with it, or what you think of it, the family can watch whatever they wish. And no, it's not abuse. It always amazes me how much we, as a society agree with and support...

    can confused pts refuse meds?

    Are you seriously suggesting that the next of kin of a person not declared mentally incompetent, who is awake and alert but confused, can sign a surgical consent for the patient? Presumably against...

    can confused pts refuse meds?

    Being confused is not the same as having been declared incompetent. Just because a patient might be confused doesn't necessarily mean that her or his next of kin or guardian can give
  9. My apologies, I misread that post as you stating that your supervisor telling you that a backup oxygen tank was available. Yes, if an oxygen source is available, and the patient requires ventilator...

    In Defense of the LTC Nurse

    As you should be. Not only is long term care a specialty in its own right, like those that work the NICU, those of you in long term care work with one of our most vulnerable and needful patient...
  11. Me thinks your peer is full of herself, and has definitely partaken of the cool aid. I went to a small university in southeast Ohio, that most people in Ohio havae never heard of, and have had no...
  12. Then perhaps you could have included what you had already learned in your initially post. In addition to demonstrating that you have researched on your own, showing what you have learned already...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    Where exactly did you get this out of anything posted here? Some, myself included, have suggested that this likely wasn't the best method for him to try and fit in. Some, myself included, have also...
  15. Does the family leave the oxygen concentrator on around the clock, if as you maintain it can take as long as 10 minutes for the oxygen concentrator to start "kicking out oxygen?" I would hope so, as...
  16. As I am unfamiliar with the use of an oxygen concentrator, I will accept you premise that most concentrators only go to 5 – 8 LPM. However, do you know that to be the case with the...
  17. Why do you think that oxygen flow needs to be continuous? And which bag are you referring to? If you are using a self-inflating resuscitation bag there is no requirement for any gas flow to make the...
  18. When you refer to inflating the bag, which bag are you referring to? If you are using a self-inflating resuscitation bag, it doesn't require any oxygen to use and refills by recoil after the bag was...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    Possibly. As I stated previously, doing this as the new guy, particularly in light of all of the recent sexual harassment coverage, wasn't the best way to try and fit in. However, if this did go on...

    Getting charged in multiple states?

    Yes, it will primarily benefit those that travel. Having said that, there are areas where two or more eNLC states border where it will benefit non travelers; southeastern NC comes to mind. In...

    Getting charged in multiple states?

    Just to clarify the multi-state nursing license. If you are issued a multi-state license in any of the enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC) states, you can work in any of the other eNLC states, as...

    Maybe a stupid question..

    How long have they been there? And how well do they know the nurses that they do this to? I have worked on my current unit nearly 10 years. Even with those that I have known this entire time I am...

    Getting charged in multiple states?

    I think, as dirtyhippiegirl suggested, it is time to obtain legal counsel; if you haven't already done so. I Don't think that you necessarily need a criminal defense lawyer, but you definitely need a...

    Calculation

    Based upon some of the problems posted here, it seems that more and more instructors are writing some really strange medication math problems. What's unclear is whether they do this because they are...
