  4. *rolling my eyes*

    naijanurse replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    i Feel so bad for this poor nurse getting such backlash for traveling. There should have been CLEAR guidelines set. Was she placed in self imposed quarantine, or was she simply told to monitor her...

    naijanurse replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    naijanurse replied to RN2B123's topic in Disaster Preparation

  7. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    naijanurse replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I rarely ever comment, but I just wanted to clarify, her temperature was 99.5, which is NOT considered a fever. We do not know what her temperature was the previous other times she checked it, or even...

    naijanurse replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    naijanurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Last night while taking care of a patient, I was exposed to their bodily fluid. (I won't go into details, because it was kinda gross). I felt it hit my face, on my right cheek. I wasn't sure if it hit...

    naijanurse replied to naijanurse's topic in General Nursing

    naijanurse replied to lpnflorida's topic in General Nursing

  15. Picc Line- Tpn

    naijanurse replied to epappyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Usually when you draw blood from a PICC line, you need to turn off all other IV fluids running through the PICC. The reason being, is that lab values can end up being inaccurate. The H&H was...

  18. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    naijanurse replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Granted I have only been a nurse for a year, but i find the whole idea of using the "race card" to advance professionally is ridiculous. Promotions should be based on merit ONLY. i would never cause a...

  21. How come Docs don't have to wear scrubs?

    naijanurse replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    i was also thinking along the lines of lab coats being an infection control issue. but maybe thats because i work on a closed unit that is somewhat different than the rest of the world. we get...
