1. And The Reason Nurses Don't Get Fired

   bluegeegoo2 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   I wondered the same thing, frequently and aloud. She continued to work at that facility like nothing happened. I'm still appalled by it and it's been over 10 years

   Nurse changed a PEG tube, charted "Unable to verify placement x 2 nurses...", bolused meds and resumed feeding anyway. This was around MN. Pt was dead before

3. Vancomycin Trough

   bluegeegoo2 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

   No, we had an offsite lab come draw as well. They would draw, we would hang and await results then either call or fax them to pharmacy (also offsite) to dose and order the next

   This. That's exactly how we did it in the LTC I worked

5. Looking for advice: I don't like my salary

   bluegeegoo2 replied to EternalFeather's topic in General Nursing

   In my former venue of LTC, your experience netted you a whopping $0.1 per year. So, at 10 years experience I made a whole dollar more than a brand new nurse. That is standard for this area. Really...

7. Help. Input. Agree. Disagree. Thoughts.

   bluegeegoo2 replied to NRNPH's topic in General Nursing

   I personally will not give/admin any consumables that are open but not dated. If the bag was already spiked and not dated I would not admin without confirmation that it was good, but I would likely...

8. Student with ADHD

   bluegeegoo2 replied to Scottish _23's topic in Nurse Disabilities

   No where in my response did I suggest that anyone not need meds. I provided an account of my personal experience with ADHD and nursing school. Being an older soul, I had developed a fairly solid...

9. Weird Interview!?

   bluegeegoo2 replied to Daisy4RN's topic in General Nursing

   My interpretation is that she prefers informal, "Let's get to know each other" type of interviews and is attempting to present herself in a friendly manner. That being said, I would be taken aback in...

11. Give 'Em Enough Rope

    bluegeegoo2 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I had a coworker who was less than useful or effective in her role as a nurse. To top it off, she was incredibly rude to the CNA's, ancillary staff, etc. She was the type of person that, when I saw...

13. Case Study: Does Childhood Abuse Prevent Weight Loss? Pt. 2

    bluegeegoo2 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    My ACE score is an 8. That explains a lot, though I am acutely aware of the long-term adverse effects of such a childhood. I am, and will always be a work in progress. Here's to hope.

14. DNR care questions

    bluegeegoo2 replied to guest825264's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    My personal policy is "You might die, but you're not gonna die here." (Never, ever, EVER said out loud, for the record, and of course does not apply to hospice patients.) Unless a DNR also has a DNH...
