  2. feelings about double rooms

    nialloh replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Try having 2 drug seekers in the same room. They swap med. and symptom info, and are soon complaining of, and asking for, the same thing. That was a fun night.

  3. Feelings about past patients

    nialloh posted a topic in General Nursing

    I would like peoples thoughts about some of your first pt's. My reason for asking this question is the fact that I was just in a bar talking to another nurse about one of my first pt's. I had him 2...

  4. Which watch?

    nialloh replied to ChrisA's topic in General Nursing

    My watch is a Wegner (Swiss army). I have beaten the hell out if it and never had a days trouble out of it. I can even wash

    nialloh replied to starryx2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  6. Most admissions you personally had during shift or most your floor had.

    nialloh replied to webbiedebbie's topic in General Nursing

    I had 2 discharges and 3 admits. During the same shift, my unit had 16 discharges/transfares and 15 admits/transfares. This only happened once, and I would never want to see it happen again. That...

  7. Does your employer recognize "Nurse's Day"?

    nialloh replied to OCCHCanada's topic in General Nursing

  9. "I don't know who to vote for?"

    nialloh replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's nothing, I haven't voted yet. I'm not a citizen yet (and that got me out of jury duty twice ), but I'm working on changing that before the next election. I'm determind to vote this

  10. "I don't know who to vote for?"

    nialloh replied to Blackcat99's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It's all good advice here. The only one who can decide is the person voting. Get as much information as you can, and make the best choice you can. But do vote. Good Luck

  12. Theft

    nialloh replied to Caligurl's topic in General Nursing

    This is slander and deformation of character at it's worst. You are being threatened with a lawsuit and is affecting your ability to work. What you need is proof. As the other posters said, get...

    nialloh replied to Stitchie's topic in General Nursing

  14. Hold patient wants to change docs NOW!

    nialloh replied to TinyNurse's topic in Emergency

    In my hospital it is easy. The pt/family tell Dr A themselves, and if Dr B accepts the case, it is transferred. Dr A is still responsible for orders, etc., until he writes the transfer order. As for...

  16. ethical issues with aggressive treatments and end of life

    nialloh replied to oramar's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It seems to be a case of all reasonable care Vs all possible care. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you have to. I have seen terrible things done to keep people alive a few more days,...

  19. Can nurses in the US really work a straight 24 hour shift??

    nialloh replied to care bear's topic in General Nursing

    Just a quick question. During that snow emergency, did you have the option to go home, or were you told to stay. If you were told to stay, how could she justify the threat to fire

  23. Lovenox Questions

    nialloh replied to mkfunk's topic in General Nursing

    I had the same question about the air when I met a Lovenox rep. She told me that it is not air, but nitrogen, and is there to form an airlock. Also, never inject Lovenox anywhere other then the abd....
