  1. Med Errors

    CseMgr1 replied to UM Review RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Years ago, I worked with a new graduate Practical Nurse who gave a patient two vials of Dilaudid 'IM'. The order called for Dilaudid gr.1/64 'IM' PRN, and the vials were labeled 1 cc = gr.1/32....

  2. decorticate, decerebate keeping them straight

    CseMgr1 replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Our Neuro instructor said the same thing...many years ago.

  3. Question about shock

    CseMgr1 replied to Kns124's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm thinking B, due to circulatory

  4. Just went through a lay off, more trouble ahead. (sorry, long)

    CseMgr1 replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    Honey, you probably would...and be a much better one than the ones you are having to put up with, now. The problem is, once you become a manager, the company you work for owns you...and you will have...

  5. Just went through a lay off, more trouble ahead. (sorry, long)

    CseMgr1 replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, it's a game all right. And since I last posted on this thread, things have really gotten strained between me and my supervisor. She is nit-picking at everything I am turning in. And when I asked...

  6. Flu Shot: Does It Help You?

    CseMgr1 replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    I took a flu shot a week ago today and wound up in the bed ALL day long 48 hours later with a fever of 101 degrees and my body feeling as if it were being beaten with a baseball bat. I haven't felt...

  7. Pet Peeves

    CseMgr1 replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

    People who are admitted with Pulmonary Emboluses and are allowed outside to smoke, taking their catheter bags, IV pump and telemetry gear along for the ride. In the meantime, I am being blessed out...

  8. Just went through a lay off, more trouble ahead. (sorry, long)

    CseMgr1 replied to estrogen's topic in General Nursing

    Corporate America kills me. They will do anything to benefit themselves..and at the cost of their customers and and employees. I'm going through a similar scenario: I was hired full-time as a QI...

  9. Was anyone a not so great High School student and become a GREAT college student?

    CseMgr1 replied to emndarmic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was so-so in High School, graduating in '69 with a C average. Did lousy on the SAT, too. Like a lot of others in here, I didn't start making decent grades until I went to Technical School and got my...

  10. My first and hopefully last resignation letter I will ever have to type...

    CseMgr1 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Harassment, pinching and in-your-face humiliation. Very cute. Have you thought about having assault and harrassment charges brought against this (ahem) individual? I wouldn't rest, until I had the...

  11. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

    CseMgr1 replied to SRbear's topic in Pain Management

    Sorry, but you do have rights...even in our "at-will" state. Maybe a good, seasoned attorney can encourage our BON to come up with a Confessional in a court of law. This isn't Communist China, and you...

  12. ER Pet Peeves

    CseMgr1 replied to ERERER's topic in Emergency

    One of the Financial Counselors who works in our E.R. told me about a guy who regulary calls an ambulance in order to get Maalox. And, once he gets admitted, he wants to be waited on hand and foot....

  13. My first and hopefully last resignation letter I will ever have to type...

    CseMgr1 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    There are some jobs that are not worth the hassle of working out a notice...regardless of the consequences. I'm already looking for another job after being in my present one for only nine weeks. The...

  14. A 1,000,000 National RN shortage by 2010?

    CseMgr1 replied to ARIZONA_RN_STUDENT's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I saw the same report on CNN yesterday. Looked for a link to this story online, but couldn't find one. Hardly a day goes by as I walk to my office in the E.D., when I am not reminded of the...

  15. Do You See Yourself Making It To Retirement in Nursing?

    CseMgr1 replied to stlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had a known back injury, but have degenerative disc disease. I probably inherited it from my father, who had the same thing. And I am sure that all those years of pulling and tugging on...

  16. Nurse terminated after having baby

    CseMgr1 replied to hokiern's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is outrageous. RUN, don't walk to an attorney's office. Your case has unlawful termination and sex discrimination written ALL over it. Do NOT let them get away with it!

  17. Do You See Yourself Making It To Retirement in Nursing?

    CseMgr1 replied to stlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I probably won't, due to health problems mainly involving my back which began ten years ago and are becoming worse every day. It's just a matter of time before I wake up one morning and can't get out...

  18. Pet Peeves

    CseMgr1 replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

    An incident report needs to be filled out on this one. If that patient were to suffer skin breakdown due to their obvious neglect and "passing of the buck" to your shift, it would never stand up in a...

  19. Pet Peeves

    CseMgr1 replied to sjb2005's topic in General Nursing

    Having access blocked to a web-based hospital application which is required for me to do my job and being told by the IT people that it is fixed...only to discover that it isn't, and losing two hours...

  20. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    CseMgr1 replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, they've got to have some reason to justify their existence, don't

  21. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    CseMgr1 replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'd wear that button only if I were allowed to wear a "How Stupid Can They Get?" button next to it, with an arrow pointing to it

  22. Does medicare pay for safety products in the home?

    CseMgr1 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Also, check out Medicare's publication on durable medical equipment in PDF file. You can download it to your computer and print it:

  23. No More Bedside Nursing, I Quit!

    CseMgr1 replied to cameroondiva's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ditto. I worked in home health for 18 years, and it is NO cakewalk, for sure. Besides having to do visits in homes which should have been condemned years before and having to put up with snakes, rats,...
