  1. Do you need to carry your personal cell phone while at work?

    Levin replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Collective "punishments" like the one described are not caused by a few irresponsible people using their cellphones rudely, but rather by a lazy, and sneering culture in the management.

  2. AMAZED at what some students get away with!!!

    Levin replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    True, this happened to us on a couple of placements. Cheers,

  3. administering B-12

    Levin replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    RE: SC/IM I was thinking about this earlier. In light of what SD said, I think it's probably because Hydroxy-cobalamin would not be very lipid soluable. So giving it SC wouldn't seem to make much...

  4. administering B-12

    Levin replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Hydroxy-Cobalamin Chloride is IM Only(with rare exceptions). There is another variant called Cyanocobalamin. I don't know if you can give that SC. Do you know which variant you use SD? IV B-12 can...

  5. Do anyone in healthcare in the US wear these?

  7. The homless guy in room 12

    Levin replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    It could just be a local variance, I only have data for Australia but the rates vary between the range 60/40(M/F) and 40/60(M/F) over the years.

  8. They finally did it. I got laid off.

    Levin replied to AnabelRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    There fixed it for you Levin P.S. Good luck with the Job

  9. Union

    Levin replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

    Also the fact that we have the subsidised education and access to nursing journals, i think has benefits for patients and the wider health system as well.

  10. Union

    Levin replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

    Well I find my union dues very modest. For them I get. * Professional indemnity insurance. * Free access to nursing journals online. * A nursing library. * Workcover top up insurance. *...

  11. Rudd going to honour his pledge

    Levin replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    Grace Oz, Rudd was pretty upfront about his intentions. This was from February last year. http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21269514-5001028,00.html Levin P.S. Personally I think we...

  12. Australia has a new Government!

    Levin replied to Grace Oz's topic in International Nursing

    Howard looks like he has lost his seat. Well he did say he wanted to make history. Only the second PrimeMinister EVER to lose his seat while still PM.

  13. Oh, the irony . . .

    Levin replied to mishysmom's topic in General Nursing

    Does your software have progress notes? If so then you could document the reason the drugs were scanned late in them. Regards,

  14. "Med Student" syndrome

    Levin replied to philosophical's topic in General Nursing

    It's probably lupus P.S. very common, happens to med students as well. Regards,

  16. Lovenox

    Levin replied to kellyjean's topic in General Nursing

    You pinch the skin with a subcutaneous injection to increase the size of the lipid layer. Makes it less likely that the injection goes into a muscle, Letting the pinch go before you inject would be...

  17. Using BP cuff to access certain veins?

    Levin replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    OK. That worries me a little bit, because the forearm has 2 bones. And all (well most) of the important stuff, gets run down between them, veins, arteries, nerves etc. Which would make it rather hard...

  18. Do you just turn the homeless back out onto the streets?

    Levin replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in Emergency

    I'm glad it worked out so well. :) Well done.

  19. Do you just turn the homeless back out onto the streets?

    Levin replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in Emergency

    You really have to understand the subculture. If you want to deal with it. Shelters are often not safe places. Many have serious violance issues, that goes for womens and youth shelters as well. Odds...

  22. Shakeup of nurse education.

    Levin replied to Levin's topic in International Nursing

    Grace I am not, nor do I think others here are, dissing hospital trained nurses. Even if I believed hospital training was the way to go for the future, (which I don't think it is). I would still...

  23. Shakeup of nurse education.

    Levin replied to Levin's topic in International Nursing

    One of the big issues I see here, is that all this experience will be very one dimensional. Working in one place, for 18 months would be nowhere near as good as working in 4 areas for 3 months each...
