  1. I wish they had to stay and watch the chaos

    glasgow3 replied to greenerpastures's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A bit of historical perspective, if I may: In the past 20+ years or so there were a couple of periods where health care consultants swarmed the hospitals like the insects that they are. With...

  2. Vanco: give or wait for vanco trough?

    glasgow3 replied to rn.5245's topic in Patient Medications

    Quote from glasgow3 1) The order was poorly written; as mentioned earlier a Vanco trough should be drawn immediately before (normally understood to mean less than 30 minutes before) the scheduled...

  3. Vanco: give or wait for vanco trough?

    glasgow3 replied to rn.5245's topic in Patient Medications

    1) The order was poorly written; as mentioned earlier a Vanco trough should be drawn immediately before (normally understood to mean less than 30 minutes before) the scheduled dose. Since the daily...

  4. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    glasgow3 replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    The rights and protections for an employee called to jury duty may vary widely from state to state. Therefore, an attorney who specializes in employement law in your state would likely provide the...

  5. Lack of Association of Guillain-Barré Syndrome With Vaccinations

    glasgow3 replied to Laidback Al's topic in Disaster Preparation

  7. I feel like I'm wasting my time :(

    glasgow3 replied to laurabs24's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Perhaps a bit off topic, however it's a sad commentary when grade inflation results in an overall GPA of 3.33 and a nursing GPA of 3.48 being regarded as "mediocre". When I entered nursing school,...

  8. Mandated Flu vaccine?

    glasgow3 replied to mol42's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I could give you a recent extremely serious complication from one such vaccine, however, I can't because of the remote risk of a potential confidentiality breach. But trust me, things beyond just...

    glasgow3 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    otherwise, even if you had some written support, since state wage and hour/labor offices and state employment offices won't help you with benefit issues, you'll need attorneys and courts. forget that...

  10. When a nursing home shuts down.

    glasgow3 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Since PTO is an employee benefit that they didn't legally have to provide in the first place, it would be extremely difficult to defeat a sleazy employer if they want to beat you out of it. Now if you...

    glasgow3 replied to A&OxNone's topic in Nursing News

    The movement to tie Medicare reimbursement to HCAHPS was clearly underway in 2006-2007....well before Obama was elected and well before his healthcare reform bill was signed into law. Initiatives of...

  15. 2nd degree BSN vs. Nursing Master's

    glasgow3 replied to dsimms2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Our nursing "leaders" never miss an opportunity to express their concern regarding multiple entry points to professional nursing practice Personally, I'd be MUCH more concerned about programs that...

  16. Verbal Offer??

    glasgow3 replied to dtrmnd2sccd's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect that would be exactly one month longer than they would give if they chose to terminate your employment. Two weeks for a non-managerial position is customary and SHOULD be sufficient...an...

  17. Never driving to work in snow again

    glasgow3 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

  18. Never driving to work in snow again

    glasgow3 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    glasgow3 replied to silentRN's topic in General Nursing

  20. Would you question this order?

    glasgow3 replied to dura_mater's topic in General Nursing

  22. Should CVVHD be 1:1

    glasgow3 replied to kristenallene40's topic in Critical Care

    Ahhhhhhhh, the "slippery slope" of critical care staffing ratios. As a seasoned nurse, I remember when having 2 vent patients was considered a big deal......and when getting a third patient was a...

  23. how do i say this job is not for me??

    glasgow3 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard cussing everyone out, grabbing a couple beers and then activating/using an inflatable slide works pretty

  24. Bad code

    glasgow3 replied to sk8rn's topic in Emergency

    I wouldn't over think that one too much.....you KNEW the primary correctable cause (per the hooker) and he was flat lined/asystole/pulseless for who knows long, likely the better part of the 15-20...

  25. 1460 on GRE and not accepted?

    glasgow3 replied to sandmanwife's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
