    Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    NJ is also 10:1 and nursing students are working provisionally and must have nursing insurance when they visit hospitals. Additionally, they must take all of the charting and instructional paperwork...

    Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    Actually our pharmacist prefers the iv push rocephin and doesn't like it in a bag, however our facility policy is push over 4 minutes and in a bag over 15 minutes. As far as meds I always try to use...

    Many RN's administer IV meds wrong.

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Guest219794's topic in Patient Medications

    When I was oriented to the ER I was amazed at the ways different preceptors told me to do things. For instance, one preceptor could take the same 1mg dilaudid and push it, dilute with 10l ns, place...

    Haven't been on as it seems this has been beaten to death.....I am in NJ, I am not worried about my job; however NJ has closed many hospitals leaving a large pool of nurses unemployed. Additionally,...

    Age discrimination?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to HuggyPuglet's topic in General Nursing

    My whole graduating class was 30 and up, the oldest being 57. We had one young woman of 21, she was the only one who didn't pass the NCLEX! We started with some young ones, but lost them along the...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    If you aren't a nurse you don't have a clue of the responsibility involved, so I stand by my statement. If you've never had to run a department, division or had a budget then you have no...

    To the student: Work for a year as a nurse before judging anyone or even offering an opinion unless you have worked in a facility and can base your opinion or personal knowledge. To the person who...

    Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Thus why it appears segregated. I am assuming the CNAs and LPNs have specific jobs in the facility that must be completed by a certain time....they take their breaks, then take the residents to...

    My union is worse than useless! Negotiated contracts(on which we always lose something), are not honored and nothing is done about it! I am sorry, I need my union dues in my pocket, more than this...

    Like I said before, if this is the only problem facing your facility that is great! Unions are only as good as the people running them, unfortunately my exposures have only been with idiots! I have...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's a great idea to file a grievance. This way everyone will be equal and no one will have an opportunity in your facility to be fed when it is decided you all get nothing. Then you will be...

    I think it's great that anyone is fed at all! How about a scheduled lunch? Many of us can only dream. Are you guys kidding? Seriously, while this may seem discriminatory I am sure the schedules...

    Can doctors go against hospital policy?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to bellehill's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You always have a right to refuse an order that is unsafe or goes against policy. There are many instances where a physician wants medication given and I just won't do it! I always state the...

    $8000.00 Penalty for Quiting Critical Care Nurse Residency Program Before 3 Years

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to krazykev's topic in General Nursing

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Blades's topic in General Nursing

    How can you sign a legal document that medications are given, if they haven't been? I say the facility should change the paperwork to say it is prepared, checked when given. I wouldn't lose my...
