    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

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

    I've thought about that alot...I think we all have "feelings" we just ignore....if I'd ignored the feeling about my daughter, she may not be here! If there was one thing I could've stopped or had...

    Nurse fired for calling police

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Right to work state or not, that CN has every right to seek legal action against the hospital and the patient's family member. No one has the right to threaten you either personally or during work....

    What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

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

    I have several stories that have happened to me and my family. My great-grandmother was a nurse from Ireland....she also believed that your relatives came to get you when you passed. Right before...

    I can't stand my new job at ALL. Thinking about quitting

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

    Find a job first, then give your notice. Insist on an exit interview....let them know why you are leaving. Sometimes HR hasn't got a clue, sometimes they don't care. Either way your experience will...

    How many visitors in the ED?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to twright's topic in Emergency

    We have a policy of 2 visitors per patient. Many patients show up with the whole family. Personally, I have no problem with the group as long as they are not intrusive, don't get in my way, and are...

    Ban together & change nursing?

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

    All you have to do is read any thread with an emotionally charged issue. I have come to the conclusion that nurses can't work together. I think for all of our similarities there are too many...

    Body Worlds

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

    Saw it in Tampa with my daughter at Mosi. Loved it! Thought it was very well presented....very interesting. Recently saw a special stating that the bodies may have been obtained illegally, it so...

    Do nurses support physician assisted suicide?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to NightOwl0624's topic in General Nursing

    NO, people should make their own choices. I would rather have people slip away comfortably than drink Drano because no one gives them that choice. JMHO

    Am I wrong?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to emmy41lgpn's topic in General Nursing

    If I told you how many patients are being sent to the ER by their PMDs you wouldn't believe it. Muscle pain r/o MI, bronchitis, uri, whatever r/o pneumonia or sob, wiped their butt and saw smear of...

    Am I wrong?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to emmy41lgpn's topic in General Nursing

    I am still confused even after reading all of this...if your physician is not ON CALL, then he is unavailable...what would happen if he died? Why didn't your PMD call in a covering doctor or ER...

    ER! Really? Can't imagine.....discharge planning-initial teaching-lpn can't do. Tons of assessment-lpn can't do. Tons of iv push medications-lpn can't do. What actions do they perform? NJ scope...

    Doing Floor assessment in ED before admission

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to cactusj's topic in Emergency

    We do our own head-to-toe in the ER, usually with repeated focal assessments. This would only change if a patient had an occurrance that changed their condition body wide while under care. The...

    Nurse is marrying former patient's husband

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe they both fell in love with her and her compassion. It really isn't anyone's business. Love is a gift, if he found it twice....lucky him, even more so if wife #1 encouraged it. Like everyone...

    ICU v. ER

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

    I work ER and have handled up to 7 very sick patients due to short staffing or an influx of a ton of patients. My very sick or stabilized and sick patients don't move anywhere unless there is a...

    2 hour reassessments in Triage

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Opinions matter's topic in Emergency

    Once had a symptomatic cp patient who told me we were great, he'd only waited for 5 hours! I asked him where he was from and told me he was from Brooklyn, the average ER wait in his old neighborhood...

    New admits at shift change

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Again, bad system-how is your transport allowed to drop someone in a room? Ours is not allowed to deliver, or take a patient without first consulting the nurse. If the nurse is...

    ICU v. ER

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

    I think that depends what is expected from you. When our patients are delivered to the floor, everything is done! I work hard every day in the ER, I think med-surg consists of more tasks-different...

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

    Conscious sedation as practiced by those who are trained and in the states it is allowed is perfectly legal. In NJ critical care nurses can administer medication, however, during procedures the...

    New admits at shift change

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to megananne7's topic in General Nursing

    Don't you have ER attendings? How was a patient with a low H and H moved prior to blood administration or fluids? Who's watching the ER, sounds like scary medicine to me.:uhoh21:

    Tired of impaired nurses

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

    It's simple, with drug testing and counseling a nurse regardless of problem should be fine. If they fall off the wagon, I am not sure we can keep letting them come back. I'd imagine we'd need a set...
