  1. Need 'banana bag' help...Acute ETOH Withdrawal

    SilentfadesRPA replied to TryinHard's topic in General Nursing

    ok try this and hope it helps - found on google but as you can see was originally on all nurses LOL https://allnurses.com/general-nursing-discussion/banana-bags-etoh-373951.html Marc

  2. Need 'banana bag' help...Acute ETOH Withdrawal

    SilentfadesRPA replied to TryinHard's topic in General Nursing

    Did you try google

  3. Is this professional?

    SilentfadesRPA replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    I am a little lost. Are you asking if her wearing the fashion sun glasses indoors is professional or how much this bothers you and you judging her for wearing them is professional ? I guess either...

  4. I cry after I see a baby born-can you give me some advice

    SilentfadesRPA replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I also agree with Scott to think about therapy and explore what feelings and emotions are being stirred up so deep that you nearly loose control. Now I have teared up at many a birth and when my...

  5. Bad experience - is this typical?

    SilentfadesRPA replied to keikei's topic in Emergency

    What had happened to you is tantamount to neglect. I am sorry that occurred and hope you have totally healed. I along with the above poster think you should send a letter to the administrator and DON....

  6. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    SilentfadesRPA replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Send it with a CC to the DON and hospital

  7. Time to call a duck a duck, part II

    SilentfadesRPA replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I am in awe not only of your comprehensive evaluation but your style and ability to express our profession not only so completely but with great accuracy. Again thank you.

  8. overreacting or not, that is the question!?!

    SilentfadesRPA replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly you are not over reacting. I am sorry your going through this and wish with you that this is a minor finding. I learned along time ago not to seek health care from those I work with. In doing...

  9. Co-Worker Pointing Fingers....

    SilentfadesRPA replied to Highend's topic in General Nursing

    I tend to agree with nfdfiremedic and rise above this. Listening to oneself and trusting that inner voice can be a lifesaver ie when you wrote the following...."my gut is telling me to keep my mouth...

  10. 1mg Ativan 7 times per day?!?!

    SilentfadesRPA replied to SuzieeQ's topic in General Nursing

    according to the psych med website i read "the usual ativan dosage recommended for adults is a total of 2mg to 6 mg per day divided into smaller doses. usually, the largest dose is taken around...

  11. Falsly accussed of diversion

    SilentfadesRPA replied to calk's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I can not tell you how sorry I am that this occurred to you.

  12. Do hospital patients get better care if they're nice

    SilentfadesRPA replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    I dont think it is intentional. Rather it simply it is human nature. You know the old adage "you draw more bees with honey than you do with vinegar". On the other hand I have never seen anyone who is...

  13. how did they pass theyre boards??

    SilentfadesRPA replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    Dear OP you said "I am just saying i have good intentions" Did you ever hear that the road to hell is paved with good intentions ? However if you are real why not respect the collective years of...

  14. how did they pass theyre boards??

    SilentfadesRPA replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    OP seems to have an unteachable attitude. I hope for the patients safety that this is duly noted and appropriate action taken soon. IMO it is without benefit to repeatedly coach, explain, or admonish...

  15. reporting abuse

    SilentfadesRPA replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    PICK UP THAT PHONE it is not up to you to investigate it IS up to you to

  16. Is this the norm?!?

    SilentfadesRPA replied to al586's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Resign - without a 2 week notice - every shift you work is one closer to you being in a dangerous situation. Your skills and ethics have been compromised enough already. I would then send a letter to...

  17. Effects of Steroids

    SilentfadesRPA replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    Marc- I'm not looking for advice per se. I'm just trying to find out *information* on something. I don't think that's against the "policy." Guess I'll post this in the student doctor forums...

  18. Effects of Steroids

    SilentfadesRPA replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    This site has a policy against giving out medical advise to anyone . You may want to Google articles about you concerns or ask a health care provider in your area. All the best for you and the person...

  19. MD orders no external monitor on Pt w/ preterm contractions

    SilentfadesRPA replied to JeneraterRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "she didn't write it as an order" then along with you I would not have heard it as an order either. This physician knew how to CYA and you beat her to it in taking good care of the patient and...

  20. MD orders no external monitor on Pt w/ preterm contractions

    SilentfadesRPA replied to JeneraterRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is it possible that the patient absolutely refused this as an intervention but still the provider thought that hospitalization for observation was necessary ? Was there any indications for the...

  21. drawing blood

    SilentfadesRPA replied to KayDubb's topic in General Nursing

    You tube has a bunch of videos demonstrating phlebotomy techniques. Of course if you can find a local course that would be better. Look on youtube under these titles - PHLEBOTOMY AND ORDER OF DRAW...

  22. comfort care vs dnr

    SilentfadesRPA replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    Can not render a professional opinion as not involved in the care nor know the policies of the hospital he was at. I am sincerely very sorry for your loss and hope you and your mother are doing well....

    SilentfadesRPA replied to BackpackingRN's topic in Emergency

    Congratulations and hope this serves all of your learning need and is all you hoped it to be :)

  24. drug diversion

    SilentfadesRPA replied to onangelswings's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    The operative word here is suspected - I would be very cautious from a legal stand point that later this did not come back to bite you.

  25. Not even two weeks on new job

    SilentfadesRPA replied to MollNick's topic in MICU, SICU

    Totally agree with you - I can not stand passive aggressive
