  1. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, they need to do way better than that headline. “Family of victim killed.” I was like

  2. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    The 2 large hospitals I worked at in 15 years did not support non-punitive error reporting either. Where are these utopian places with Just Culture? If you made an anonymous incident report, they...

  3. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    He just put up a new post with the same video from 3 days ago that had 2,500 comments on it. It feels a little like he’s stoking the divisive

  4. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t disagree with any of the systems changes they suggest in the sidebar but the actual article read like an opinion piece glommed together with some of the weak arguments I keep seeing on...

  5. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    And one way to rescue this patient, even before the Med error was known, would be to monitor the patient appropriately after giving an IV sedative, given her age and

  6. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve noticed if you express any opinion other than supportive on FB, it goes like this: Them: “are you even a nurse? I bet you’ve never worked in a hospital.” “Oh so you’re...

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. Everything I had heard before was that she had given Versed in the past but not the day before.

  8. Radonda Vaught Trial

    sistrmoon replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Is this available in a transcript online somewhere? I had never heard she had administered versed the day before the incident. And I’m not having much luck finding that info

  9. Sodium bicarb for mucositis

    sistrmoon replied to colamom803's topic in Oncology

    I’ve worked inpatient Onc in a large hospital for many years and believe it or not, we’ve always kept a box in a cabinet and put it in the small sterile cups to distribute for patient use. We’ve...

  10. Why are you an oncology nurse?

    sistrmoon replied to BButterfly1993's topic in Oncology

    I’ve been an Onc nurse for 13 years, the whole time I’ve been a nurse. I was lucky enough to have an Onc rotation as a student, and I knew that’s what I wanted to do. The patients are...

  12. Vocera Easter Eggs

    sistrmoon replied to taz628's topic in General Nursing

    Try “I need a hug.” It May be the same response as I’m having a bad day. I haven’t tried that

  13. TB testing 2020, good riddance?

    sistrmoon replied to NPbyDay's topic in General Nursing

    We usually test annually but this year I was told there was a shortage of the tuberculin, so those not working in high risk areas were deferred. Very interesting that it’s not recommended

  14. Pure Wick

    sistrmoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone use the Pure Wick system at their facility? We are about to start using it. I'm intrigued but am wondering how well it really works in practice. For those wondering, it's a female...

  15. BIOPATCH

    sistrmoon replied to lbeauplan's topic in General Nursing

    We have never needed a script for a bio patch, it's a standard part of our central line dressing change

  16. Doctor's lying about telephone order

    sistrmoon replied to Irabee's topic in General Nursing

    I had an MD write a note in a chart outright lying about the calls I made to him and the communications between us. Basically a patient threatened to leave AMA, I called the MD, MD didn't come to the...

    Oh the education said it stays damp. That's good it's mostly

  18. Pure Wick

    sistrmoon replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the feedback! The training did say it can't be used on a confused/agitated patient which is a downside. I did also wonder how it didn't cause skin breakdown since it stays damp. Nice to...

  20. Patient threat and HIPAA

    sistrmoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    Based on a true story but I'll try to vague it up. Patient gets angry at a nurse, threatens his/her life(specific believable threat. Calls gang friend on phone and describes nurse.) Nurse is freaked...

  21. Patient threat and HIPAA

    sistrmoon replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    So I wondered if this counted as an actual crime(threatening to harm) and my attorney husband said probably not. I guess probably after the manager blew him/her off next step would be our security,...

  24. Patient threat and HIPAA

    sistrmoon replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Well, she shared the patient's name and that he was there. I've always been told any identifying information at all even without names was subject to it. I had the same reaction as you, but another...

  25. Do you disconnect lipids from TPN when complete

    sistrmoon posted a topic in General Nursing

    When you have 24 hour TPN running with a 10 hour bag of lipids, do you disconnect the lipid bag/line or not when it's completed? Why or why
