  1. How do you give out the pills?

    CO2emission posted a topic in Correctional

    Hi Correctional nurses. I work in Australia and am just wondering how you give out your pills. Some of our patients are on a lot of pills, especially those who have Mental Health issues. All the...

  2. How do you give out the pills?

    CO2emission replied to CO2emission's topic in Correctional

    It depends on the level of security for each pod. They tend to hover about and the officers call them as we tell the officers. The methadone/suboxone parade is a bit different. They get in a line for...

  3. How do you give out the pills?

    CO2emission replied to CO2emission's topic in Correctional

    Thanks for that. We sort of do that too in the pods but they are bagged up by the nurses first in zip lock bags with the patients names/ min numbers and cell numbers before they see the patients. I...

  4. National Registration

    CO2emission replied to Sophia36's topic in International Nursing

    Hi, The 20 hours is professional development not necessarily education and training...easy peasy. It could be an article that you read. It could be a discussion with someone else when you learned...

  5. Early recognition of the deteriorating patient

    CO2emission replied to CO2emission's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the ACT link. I have checked it out.This is fantastic. Many many

  6. Early recognition of the deteriorating patient

    CO2emission posted a topic in General Nursing

    Evidence suggests that patients show signs of deterioration up to 8 hours before they actually become unstable and proceed on to cardiac arrest if not treated in that 10 minute window of instability....

  7. From Teaching to Learning - The Advantages of Passive vs. Active Learning Strategies

    CO2emission replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm not sure active/passive is about different learning styles...it's more about teaching styles. Learning should be student-centred not teacher-centred. And does it have to be one or/vs the other?...

  8. How do you get the nursing care done with hourly rounding & computer documentation?

    CO2emission replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    I know there is no turning back but I've been around long enough to remember the Nightingale wards. The desk was in the middle and you could see all your patients. When patients were put into private...

  9. fluid and electrolytes

    CO2emission replied to 918runnr's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, My advice is you will get confused if you use this forum to build your knowledge because everyone has their own understanding and although people mean well, there needs to be some authenticity,...

  10. Sooooo done with the verbal abuse!

    CO2emission replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Where was the support/counselling etc from the workplace and the union while this was going on for this poor man? Who provided him with legal assistance? Is the workplace now providing him with help...

  11. Pain is subjective?

    CO2emission replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    Pain is a biological characteristic that enables us to keep away from danger. Without it, we may hurt ourselves so seriously without knowing it that we risk death. This tells us that pain is in fact...

  12. Sooooo done with the verbal abuse!

    CO2emission replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't come with the t-shirt. If you can see it for what its worth you aren't puting up with it. If it makes you angry then are you any better? Your frustration lies in the fact that you can't...

  13. Pain is subjective?

    CO2emission replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    The question is..is pain subjective? No it's not but pain behaviours are and many are standing in judgement by measuring pain by pain behaviours. I guess most are talking about the narcotics/drugs of...

  14. Sooooo done with the verbal abuse!

    CO2emission replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Ahh...the battle of the wills! I've seen it all and I've felt your fire and passion. At the end of the day, it's not an us and them situation. There is nothing to be achieved by being defensive. There...

  15. Pain is subjective?

    CO2emission replied to lena130's topic in General Nursing

    "pain addeth zest unto pleasure and teacheth the luxury of health" pain is what the patient says it is, nothing more and nothing

  16. do you ever just wanna yell..."Would you SHUT UP already???"

    CO2emission replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

    Hey..... its better than those that nod off and snore with everyone worrying that they are obstructing their airway. We had a student a couple of weeks ago who was yawning so much she dislocated her...

  17. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    CO2emission replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not too sure that most of us see them as scary. The general theme seems to be that many of us see them as downright rude and I'm sorry but I don't accept gratuitous rudeness. I think we are well...

  18. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    CO2emission replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Ya gotta luv it that nurses are expected to communicate information in a way that accommodates doctor's limited adaptability to interpret the English language. So as we are being trained to do Doctor...

  19. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    CO2emission replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    Do you guys have a government organisation that investigates and handles health care complaints? In some of the posts it seems there are cases for failure of duty of care. Do your managers advocate...

  20. what do nurses hate about doctors?

    CO2emission replied to futureMD's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. Like nurses are squeaky clean with no lateral violence or devouring their young! I've had more problems with nurses than doctors. It works both ways. One word...respect... doctors and...

  21. How do you get the nursing care done with hourly rounding & computer documentation?

    CO2emission replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    Goodness, that is so bad! The health care system (public) that most of us work for was very quick to recognise that when things go wrong it is because there is something wrong with the system. On an...

  22. How do you get the nursing care done with hourly rounding & computer documentation?

    CO2emission replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, This mightn't be much help but in Aus, reflective journaling carries a bit of weight. When you come to document in the patient's notes, you be honest, and write "unable to document progress due to...

  23. I want her fired!!!!

    CO2emission replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I think we are unknowingly conditioned to be dysfunctional communicators. The media promotes dysfunctional communication by stupid sitcoms where wit is perceived as slagging off one another,sentence...

  24. I want her fired!!!!

    CO2emission replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Unreal!!!!! Where's your manager? Where are your leaders? Who represents you? This is sanctioning unreasonable and selfish behaviour in a place for the sick. A hospital is not a hotel and nurses are...

  25. Why?

    CO2emission replied to dreamingofbeing's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately many doctors don't learn social skills because they spend most of their formative years with their heads in books. Their training makes them prescriptive and people become objectified,...
