    Alcoholism: disease or choice?

    sissiesmama replied to HonestRN's topic in Addictions

    Love it!! I am glad to see some other posters in my line of thought. I don't drink, but I am a recovering addict, and I didn't choose using, as you said, I didn't pick HTN or a PFO. I have had...

    I'm with u there, heron. A couple of my posts weren't kosher with everyone and deleted. I didn't really enjoy hearing us "bitter" and "dried up" nurses called creatures. Oh,

    sissiesmama replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I fail to see what bearing your gender has on the thread ... Not to be offensive, I do get the feeling you are or will be the type of nurse that stirs the pot of poop with a big stick. Anne,

    Can an RN push ACLS drugs if not certified under doctor's order during a code?

    sissiesmama replied to Athenas83's topic in General Nursing

    Not as a rule, but in a code situarion if the MD is there we could give IVPs; the MD had to be in the room. We could give IVP Lasix, Bumex, Solumedrol, ect (but not narcs) by placing the syringe...

    sissiesmama replied to Athenas83's topic in General Nursing

    I now (we live in Louisiana) when I was still an LPN I was able to push ACLS drugs since the MD was there. In later time after I finished RN school before getting to my ACLS class I was allowed to...

    sissiesmama replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    I agree completely, redhead! I've been a nurse for 20 yrs and have most of the time worn a mask for more than one reason. First, it's required by my facility if there's the slightest chance of...

    sissiesmama replied to seks's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I did until I finally could get a grip on it and not lose my cookies. I used some Vicks vapor rub just under my nares too - the smell was worse than anything to me - especially with a bad...

    My friend was fired - Was she wrong?

    sissiesmama replied to ravenshroud's topic in General Nursing

    Ahhh - she was probably going in to administer Tessalon Perles or something similar. The nurse didn't wait for the patient to take the med. The RN in my opinion first screwed up when telling RT to...
