  1. nursing diagnosis-nanda advice?

    interleukin replied to oKeto's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Realistically, no one in health care cares about nursing diagnosis. It is only in nursing school that we had to create these silly/demeaning/waste of time busy work in some perverted way of ascribing...

  2. Nurse as a Patient, treated badly, wanting to rant

    interleukin replied to chloeysmom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hi, If you are really serious about reporting the danger: Go to the JAHCO website and report the hospital. Clearly list the infractions with specifics. That will be far stronger and more effective...

  3. Telling a patient/family that a mistake was made

    interleukin replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    My advice...create solid relationships with patients and family. If something goes wrong, it's often wait and see whether there is any real damage, but being a genuine person will serve as a great...

  4. Nursing's image

    interleukin replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I've been in a level 1 ICU for 12 years. There are too many times one patient goes bad taking all of your concentration for extended periods of time. Then, all you can do is pray the other...

  5. Nursing's image

    interleukin replied to haitianrn's topic in General Nursing

    "Even one of my instructors bluntly said that 90% of the time, the nurse just passes medications. My jaw dropped." Although you may not have wanted to hear it, at times(perhaps not 90%) he/she was...

  6. The Patient I Failed

    interleukin replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Very nicely done. But was this not a case of assault? It is, indeed, tragic and pathetic that these doctors hadn't the courage to treat the patient and her legally sound wishes--their primary...

  7. electronic med passes

    interleukin replied to dcnballmom's topic in General Nursing

    We recently instituted the system. aside from the many many glitches and frustrations, in essence, it tends to make sharp nurses a little less careful, but forces the harried, out of control nurses to...

  8. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    interleukin replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just a final word as this is devolving into what I expected when one's opponent is big on bluster but wholly uninformed. Typically, the side will resort to throwing in a bunch of wild, irrational,...

  10. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    interleukin replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Too young...don't I wish! Clinton played fast and loose with the truth and ended up in a corner...anyone using anything but facts to back up what is, ostensibly, an attempt to clarify an argument...

  13. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    interleukin replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, it is not at all, "my way", but the way things have been conducted for eight years. You certainly don;t have any reason to believe me. But in order or you to flesh out the facts, you will have to...

  14. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    interleukin replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your use of, "protection" makes everything sound righteous and balanced. Many laws and signing statements of this administration have been used to protect the interest of the few while many others...

  15. Blame nurses

    interleukin replied to sam20007's topic in General Nursing

    "The general public is groomed to accept the doctor as all-knowing and the nurse is the one to wipe their butts." And we're all to blame unless--with every appropriate opportunity--you give families...

  16. Regulation Proposed to Help Protect Health Care Providers from Discrimination

    interleukin replied to Anxious Patient's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The Bush Administration will do anything to advance it's agendas--however perverted, corrupt, irrational, or ill-conceived. This has been borne out innumerable times in the last 8 years. If you...

  17. horrible day( vent )

    interleukin replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    Being in charge and having a patient load is a set up for problems. Admitting having made many med errors is fine, we have all committed them. But after 20+ years of practice they should be extremely...

  20. Failed the NCLEX-RN exam the third time

    interleukin replied to anneles's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just because you are bad test taker does not mean you will not be a good nurse. Think about how you are studying and pre-testing yourself....and then change it...because apparently what you're doing...

  22. I have a masters!

    interleukin replied to words747's topic in General Nursing

    My advice...do not go for the BSN. Get your ADN and start nursing. Fact is, you can get your MSN without your BSN...I did. I had a BA, nursing experience and could write well. If you can show other...

  23. Can't get stat lasix on override from accudose in telemetry unit..

    interleukin replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Tell your manager that not having these meds on override puts patients at unnecessary risk..then tell the medical director and the director of the pharmacy. We had same problem...speak up and things...

  24. JCAHO Visit

    interleukin replied to nurserynurse55's topic in General Nursing

    "It's idiotic, and I refuse to double chart." Absolutely...if more nurses refused to duplicate their work there'd be changes made. If I chart in the computer, then it's done. If the particular...

  25. JCAHO Visit

    interleukin replied to nurserynurse55's topic in General Nursing

    "The lab forgot to call, and I forgot to chart it in one of the two places" As long as you are a nurse you will forget to do things...it's in the nature of the beast and it will only get worse as...
