    Repat replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Also, check into how often he takes the prn Benadryl. If he 'forgets' and takes too much it can make him dizzy and impair his cognitive

  10. nurse preceptors please read and respond to new nurse

    Repat replied to RNIAM's topic in General Nursing

    I LOVE precepting new nurses!! The first thing I always say is "Ask before you do", if you're not sure, ask. The new nurses I have had a problem with are 1) those that are afraid they will look dumb...

  12. Moving to US with furniture, anyone done it?

    Repat replied to monie2004's topic in International Nursing

    Your title says moving to the US - so I am assuming you are coming from outside the US. We did it, from the UK, and even with full service (the company paid), the customs stuff was a nightmare. Be...

    Yes, I just had a patient being given lantus at 9am. Tube feed, NPO, bottomed out at 50 at noon, although the patient hadn't had any insulin since the morning before because of NPO status for a test....

  15. Education Days

    Repat replied to Repat's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    What a fabulous idea!! I asked if they could just leave the tests in my mailbox, to be done at my leisure, and she said "Oh no, we can't give out the tests." Like they are top secret. As I see it,...

  16. Funny quotes from patients

    Repat replied to RNtoJD's topic in Nursing Humor

    Here's a couple. An elderly man in the ER for altered LOC. He asks where he is, we tell him, and he says "d..., you fall asleep one place and wake up in another!". That's all he said for two days....

  17. Touchy Situation Possible

    Repat replied to cincygirlpnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Great idea about meetings all three shifts - I work only weekends, and I am always marked down on my reviews because I don't attend unit meetings, which are announced on a Monday for the Thursday...

  18. Touchy Situation Possible

    Repat replied to cincygirlpnp's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Oh, oh... I am sure that you can do it. But! You are not there to "teach them to be better peds nurses". You may want to look at it as giving new insights into old situations, or keeping the staff...

  19. Nursing Supplies

  21. Looking for a pediatrician

    Repat posted a topic in Pediatric

    Help!! After living overseas for 15 years, I am now back in the US and certainly suffering from culture shock. I have just suffered the "last straw" from the local pediatrician's office, and want to...

  22. Looking for a pediatrician

    Repat replied to Repat's topic in Pediatric

    Thank you, thank you! I was beginning to think that I was off the wall as far as what I am looking for - your practice sounds like what I am looking for here. I am reasonable, and informed, and I...

  23. Looking for a pediatrician

    Repat replied to Repat's topic in Pediatric

    Thanks! I am not really looking for a recommendation, but more advice on how people find their doctors. Where I used to live has a very different philosophy about health care, and one I am much more...

  24. PICC Dressing Changes

    Repat replied to donnuchi's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    We do draw from them, but we just got a note from the IV team not to test for blood return each time we flush them because it deposits a layer of protein which then causes the line to clot

  25. Your priorities

    Repat replied to Sahn's topic in General Nursing

    I always ask - does the hospital make me their priority? No! Don't get me wrong, I love nursing and have been a nurse for a very long time, but when push comes to shove, my family and personal...
