    How do you determine what is a good facility BEFORE you work for them?

    kids replied to CNA&student's topic in General Nursing

    "Nursing homes" are one of the most heavily regulated industries in the nation having to satisfy both state and federal regulations. To the original poster: Two good places to check are (1) The Feds...

    kids replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    kids replied to Bee_home care's topic in General Nursing

    What is the purpose behind you having copies? Is it for a legitimate care delivery purpose or as 'evidence'? If it's the latter destroy them and never tell anyone you made copies. Your making copies...

    What's an IO

    kids replied to ErinBSN's topic in Emergency

    Nope, it's used anytime good access is needed in a hurry, they go in a lot faster than dropping a CL. I get a squicky knot in my stomach seeing them placed. And they do hurt like a mofo and can be...

    giving report to a SNF

    kids replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    You're not going to like my answer. I'd have been polite about it and wouldn't have interupted but unless you could tell me she'd been worked up for that BP or there was documentation that it was her...

    kids replied to rrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Inhaled Tobramycin is an FDA catagory D drug in terms of recieving the medication. I'd discuss the filters being used on the ex port with RT then discuss it with your OB/GYN. In theory any residual...

    kids replied to 3quarters's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen a policy that was particular as to which nurse handled the meds and which the book. But every place I've worked (as far back as I can recall) BOTH nurses visualize the amount of the...

    kids replied to chinny7150's topic in General Nursing

    Wyeth has discontinued the entire Tubex line, Carpuject is the only replacement. If you get ahold of one don't let it out of your hands. I scored a half dozen of them a few of years ago and I hoard...

    Can you have multi-licenses in two states?

    kids replied to cisa04's topic in General Nursing

    The short answer is yes (I hold active licenses in 5 States including OR). Be warned, the job market in OR is just as bad if not worse than other States, has a very high unemployment rate, especially...

    Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

    kids replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry, helping is just not an option.

    kids replied to sno963's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree. It is unprofessional to contact the OT directly and to be honest made your company look bad. What you were told is correct, what you are asking them to do is act as a sub-contractor. That...

    HDC= hypodermoclysis. Love that it's coming back in popularity. http://www.aafp.org/afp/2001/1101/p1575.html My experience is that for both fluids and pain meds the site(s) are rotated every 3-7 days...

    As a patient, is it okay to suggest a vein for IV?

    kids replied to Lahryn04's topic in General Nursing

    My experience from giving a lot of Remicaid is that it seems to destroy the veins after a few years. I always try to start in the hands (to preserve the upper sites) and do explain my rationale to the...

    Is this legal?

    kids replied to RN1263's topic in Home Health

    It's going to depend on your State's Home Health Regs. In many States, with delegation, it is perfectly legal for HHAs to administer all types of meds (oral/Ng/Gt/insulins) either from a mediset or...

    Lots of young people on disability?

    kids replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    No, there is no shame in recieving benefits for a legitimate disability. But when you get lumped with the "skeezes" it makes you feel like you should be ashamed. I've got well over 6 months in the...

    overreacting or not, that is the question!?!

    kids replied to luvmyhubbybunches's topic in General Nursing

    I do think you're over reacting a little but you're feeling pretty crappy so it's hard to put it in perspective. That you work there really isn't relevant, it doesn't enhance your credibility or...
