1. Working out these IV Pumps...

   miko014 replied to i.care's topic in General Nursing

4. Family Initiated Rapid Response Team

   miko014 replied to MAISY, RN-ER's topic in General Nursing

   Is that the little girl who died of dehydration after they stopped her fluids and kept her NPO? If it's the case I'm thinking of, we had to watch a video about it. I don't remember the details other...

   We have a similar system. It's been in place for 6 mos - 1 year now. Each pt gets a pamphlet on admission and that same pamphlet is supposed to be on the bulletin board in each room. I usually tell...

6. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

   miko014 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

   Lol Magsulfate, that is too funny. I get that "in real life" all the time. People who come to the hospital for something serious get all worried about a hangnail. God bless 'em, you get the crazies...

7. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

   miko014 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I wouldn't HAVE to go, but we already have tickets and stuff, and they are non-refundable. So I would be out quite a bit of money, not to mention disappointing several people (including...

8. Telephone Triage RNs - help!

   miko014 replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

   That's good to hear! Telephone triage was always something I had sort of considered, but I don't know anyone who has done it, nor do I have any kind of experience with it. I had been looking for a...

    Okay all, I need help. I wasn't planning on leaving my job for a while, but I came across an ad that interested me, so I thought I'd give it a shot. I'm updating my resume, and I need to describe my...

14. Nasty Doctor

    miko014 replied to scrubberRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that #1 if he thinks the nurses here are doing a bad job, then he shouldn't trust his pt's to them - perhaps he needs to move. #2, if the managers can't do anything, call security. They...
