    OK, don't sweat small stuff about patients, especially from glasshouse

    nrsang97 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I taught my 9 year old to swallow pills with a tic tac. He takes concerta for ADD and it is about the same size as a tic tac, so it worked perfectly. He now swallows them without water. I was his...

    I am not good at nursing

    nrsang97 replied to Lostinorlando's topic in General Nursing

    You are being way too hard on yourself. You made a minor mistake. Yes the ativan was at the wrong time, but you owned up to it. If any nurse ever tells you that they never made a medication error...

    NOT an ICU nurse but assigned by SUP

    If you haven't had ICU training then you shouldn't have accepted a patient that was on ICU status. I would have declined the

    Is it necessary to call report before transferring care of a patient?

    nrsang97 replied to C.diff Aint Sexy's topic in General Nursing

    There is no reason not to call report for a patient going to any unit. If the nurse getting the patient can't get report, then ask if the charge can take report. Honestly you shouldn't have left...

    Can I get Fired?

    nrsang97 replied to Minniegirl0604's topic in General Nursing

    So I have to ask did you just do this to see if you could get into a vein on yourself? If you didn't flush it, and then use it to bolus yourself, and/or give IV meds to yourself, then I don't see...

    Write Up's and Potential Termination for Pain Reassessments

    nrsang97 replied to MiralaxOnIceRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't think a reassessment for neurontin, colchecine, or ASA are needed. ASA usually isn't given for pain, and neurontin and colchecine are for chronic health issues aside from pain. This seems...

    Obtaining Supplies School Project

    nrsang97 replied to bdershimer9's topic in General Nursing

    No we don't always have the needed supplies when I need them. The mental health unit never has what we need for a rapid response. We also have floors that share an EKG machine. It's frustrating....

    Can they just switch me from days to nights?

    nrsang97 replied to GamerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Talk with your manager and let her know you really need to stay on nights. Maybe she will keep you on nights. She may have assumed that you wanted to move to days. A lot of people with kids tend to...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    nrsang97 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    She has been charged not tried in court. She may not even go to jail. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. I do not feel criminal charges are the way to go. I do feel she should never...
