  3. Rantings of a young new ER nurse.

    jojotoo replied to DaretoDreamRN's topic in Emergency

    This advice is right on the money. Stop worrying about who likes you and you doesn't. You have friends, right? Outside of the hospital? Don't be dependent on the people at work to give you...

  6. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    jojotoo replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Got a call from a con home - sending in a pt for hypotension (by private ambulance). Asked the nurse if they had the capability of giving IV bolus. He says yes, what should he give? Since it's an...

  7. Our inappropriate frequent flyer

    jojotoo replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Even if he is too "subtle" to involve law enforcement, you can still confront him on his behavior. Yes, he will say that you misunderstood him, but after 1-2 times of that, just tell him that you are...

  8. Heparin IV administration

    jojotoo replied to starcandy's topic in General Nursing

    I doesn't matter that the heparin is further diluted, the patient will still get the same ordered mg of drug/min. It's the same as if you gave Morphin 1mg/1ml IVP, or if you diluted that 1mg/1ml with...

  9. What do you think?

    jojotoo replied to Diploma'82's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, bring it to her attention. Get a laywer. Call the local TV station/ newspaper. Notify the Better Business Bureau. Report it to who ever regulates nondiscrimatory hiring/ firing practices....

  12. Hospice confusion.

    jojotoo replied to Kim O'Therapy's topic in General Nursing

    This is so sad. Perhaps you need a better understanding of what hospice can offer your mother. I don't know if all hospices are the same or if there are different "levels". Maybe you could post...

  13. Nurses/Office Staff who Smoke in the Office, it's Killing Me!

    jojotoo replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Let me get this straight - they're smoking inside the building? This has got to stop. It's not just a matter of being annoying to you, it's illegal. What's next in your office? Lighting up a...

  14. "Men should be EMT's or Doctors!"

    jojotoo replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

  15. Rules for the ER (long)

    jojotoo replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    What makes any of us want to be an ER nurse? Or want to stay an ER nurse? What makes someone want to be a Navy SEAL? Or belong to the SWAT TEAM? Or jump out of airplanes? Or train to be an...

  16. Advice for new ER nurse

    jojotoo replied to kdmcook's topic in Emergency

    I'm 51, graduated 15 years ago. So I don't think that you are too old. Being an ER nurse is not for everyone. But that doesn't mean that it's not for you. Your peers are right - usually, everything...

  17. Advice for new ER nurse

    jojotoo replied to kdmcook's topic in Emergency

    Need more info. How old are you? What kind of an ER are you at? Trauma center? Community hospital? Pediatric? What exactly do you feel is lacking in your

  19. New Nurse In Tears...

    jojotoo replied to RNNURSE23's topic in General Nursing

    OK, a couple of things here. No matter how hard you try or how good your nursing care is, patients are going to die. And only you can figure out how to give yourself some emotional insulation from...

  20. Stressed Out

    jojotoo replied to DISCONTENTNURSE's topic in General Nursing

    OK, this is my opinion: Nursing mostly sucks for the reasons that you mentioned in your post. BUT, I am very fortunate and grateful to have a job that finances my real life (when I'm not at work)....

  23. 5150 patient absconded from the ER........

    jojotoo replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually you can make a 5150 stay. We have a locked psych floor in our hospital and 99% of the patients admitted there are medically cleared through the ER. Sometimes they are in the ER for several...

  24. Too much pain medication

    jojotoo replied to Jennifer, RN's topic in Emergency

    Just double checking on this: You did mean 235mg of Morphine? And not Demerol? That would be TWENTY FOUR vials of Morphine 10 mg!! That would normally wipe out my entire floor stock of Morphine in...

  25. Sticking a patient twice?

    jojotoo replied to ghost's topic in Emergency

    Some people deserve to be stuck a second time? I've had some nasty, repulsive, abusive, assaultive, ignorant, stupid, manipulative, whining patients; but I never thought that anyone DESERVED to be...
