1. ethical dilemma

   NURSE1987 replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

   This man is lucky to have a nurse that feels so strongly about his rights, you are doing the right thing. If you decide to discuss this problem with a higher power, remind them about Maslow's hierarchy of needs.. 1.Physiological needs 2.Safety needs ...

2. nurse terminated

   NURSE1987 replied to grandee3's topic in General Nursing

   The DON has no grounds to report abandonment in this case. What if a nurse gets a call and finds out that a family member was in a wreck or something else and the nurse needed to leave ASAP? They would follow the same procedure, delegate their patien...

   NURSE1987 replied to bigtimer225's topic in General Nursing

   I work in Northwest Georgia, and my facility FORBIDS O/T. This came as a shock to me, coming from another facility where NOT working O/T was forbidden! Not to mention the ???,000 nursing shortages there are in this country. Oh well, it gives me time ...

8. Anyone here from Tennessee taking Excelsior courses?

   NURSE1987 replied to nursesherry's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    NURSE1987 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that is impressive. I am a 19 year old LPN (just passed my boards last week). I feel like I am young in the nursing field, and I know I am. I wish I would've had the chance to complete an LPN program in high school though. She definitely has her...
