I am a home health nurse, have been for almost 2 years, and I have never even entertained the idea of even being friends with any of my patients, let alone have an intimate relationship with them. I know, according to Ohio law, that nurses can lose t...

Passed with 265 first time. The number of questions doesn't matter.... Good luck!

Hey everybody, I love these posts, they are so interesting and definately spooky. I wanted to post a couple of stories that happened to me personally, not really nursing related. When I was 15, my mother died from leukemia which she had been sufferin...

LOL....I've done that!!!:roll

What a jerk, one should be fired for doing it, the other should be fired for supporting it, which is essentially drinking on the job, too. Glad you reported them. Keep us updated

OMG... Kudos to you for reporting that facility, doc's right, it should be shut down and then some. Good thing you worked that night!!

OMG....

I love this one!! :roll

Still not sure I agree with PCT's drawing up and giving meds, but since I don't work as a nurse in a hemo clinic, guess I don't know what I'm talking about. Thanks for the info DeLana.

I work on a Renal/Diabetes unit where most of the patients are on hemodialysis...

I would just like to add one more thing....I noticed in some of the posts on this thread that people said "in our state, it is allowed under law that PCT's can draw up heparin, lidocaine, etc." Just because the law says PCT's can do it, doesn't mean...

Not to be rude, but I would never in a million years EVER let ANYONE draw up a medication that I am supposed to be giving. PERIOD. I don't care if they have been doing it for 50 years and they could do it with their eyes closed...what are you guys th...

Oops sorry, didn't see the latest news at first. Congratulations....glad to see your life is turning around. Good luck to you!! AngelNurse25:monkeydance:

The whole thing sounds really cruel and unjust. I am sorry that you had to go through this. I think you would have been better calling in and telling them that you were with a dying family member...if they didn't understand that, not sure you would...

New grad working in Southwestern Ohio as floor RN on the Renal/Diabetic unit in large hospital. Still learning lots and lots, feel overwhelmed most of the time, but I still can't get enough. LOL:wink2:

Charts at her apartment? Choking people? Can you say psycho????:uhoh21: Maybe your friend should check into a restraining order....

I am not sure that kicking you out of the program for not diluting phenergan is really a fair punishment for the crime. You didn't technically make a medication error per the 5 rights, but I think your instructor should have been there with you teac...

Not sure if there are criteria for your interview, but I'll give it a shot. I am a new grad with not much experience, but I'll do my best. AngelNurse25

To all of the student nurses, I am a new grad working on a Renal/Diabetes floor with patiens who have multi-system issues. One of the RN's on the floor gave me some really great advise in relation to medication errors. She said "once you give it, y...

I just wanted to tell everyone that I took the NCLEX-RN two days ago and had 265 questions and I was 100% sure that I failed when I was done. I thought that there was no way I passed because I guessed at alot of the questions and some I didn't even ...
