  2. Codes - Your Procedure

    elizabeth321 replied to antidote's topic in Patient Medications

  3. Dating Your Doctor

    elizabeth321 replied to lmonet82's topic in General Nursing

  6. Codes - Your Procedure

    elizabeth321 replied to antidote's topic in Patient Medications

    The doctors order the drugs.....it is not in nurses scope to order drugs.

  7. Tips for a newbie on dealing with mean doctors?

    elizabeth321 replied to thomask's topic in General Nursing

    elizabeth321 replied to NurseBean's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have the name of a painscale off the top of my head though I am sure I have something at work in my office. When I was at the bedside I would watch for facial grimacing, eyes closed,...

  10. higher pay for BSN grads?

  11. Question... are we supposed to help? Good Samaritan.

    elizabeth321 replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    The Good samaritian act covers you if something goes wrong if you stop to help someone.....it does not in any way say you have to help....and always remember YOUR SAFETY

  12. What the heck is this doctor thinking? Actually not thinking!

    elizabeth321 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am in total agreement to this quote..I couldn't for the life of me understand why you wanted to add Lopressor based on the info you gave . Dutchgirl I can't help but notice at least two threads you...

  13. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    elizabeth321 replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It isn't entirely up to the doctor....I have a job to do as well. No doctor that I work with in any area of my practise dictates how things will be done...esp during a gyne exam....I am the one that...

  14. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    elizabeth321 replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If people want to stay in the room...I am making the assumption it is to support the patient or comfort them....they will do so from the head of the bed. The doctor and I have a job to do....I don't...

  15. Alberta Hospitals and pt loads???

    elizabeth321 replied to AussieKylie's topic in International Nursing

    How ridiculous to start your post by saying "um beg to differ"....it is the answer that I have to answer the post....your answer is yours....good lord.

  16. Any new grad ever been let go after 6 month trial period?

    elizabeth321 replied to cjj0603's topic in General Nursing

    I have never been let go.....have rarely heard of people that have been let go....but around here there is such a shortage of nurses that the only requirement for a secure position is a pulse.

  17. Is there ANY reason for Experienced nurses to be Rude to New Nurses??

    elizabeth321 replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    There are alot of rude people....at all levels of nursing....If someone speaks rudely to me I immediately challenge them...with increased confidence and experience it will get easier. I have told...

  18. What is the point of a uniform?

    elizabeth321 replied to ben123's topic in General Nursing

    I wear scrubs in the ER...everyone does....I do wear my own t-shirt underneath. I wear street clothes with a white lab coat in my clinic job. We have to wear a name tag...which clearly identifies me...

  19. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    elizabeth321 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    This thread wasn't about practicing nursing at all, it was about prehospital. Don't be so concrete....much more has been mentioned other than prehospital.

  20. Chronic COPD'er, 1 lung, 02 @ 6L/min. What would you do?

    elizabeth321 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is the scariest part of posts like this...people that aren't practising nursing according to any policy or procedure....just making decisions based on personal opinion. There has to be critical...

  21. Bed Baths, I dread giving them.

    elizabeth321 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    That is why a POA shouldn't be invoked until it needs to be...there is a trigger of sorts...these are the very things that can happen.

  22. Husbands or S/O's at routine exam

    elizabeth321 replied to walker shaw's topic in Ob/Gyn

  25. Have you ever reported your coworker to the supervisor and got the person fired

    elizabeth321 replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Nursing

    I have not reported anyone that was then fired....I would if I had to. When red flags are going up during orientation they are worth paying attention to. May be best to bail sooner than later. When...
