    What do you think about foleys and infection?

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

    What easier to deal with: bladder retraining and possible uti or pressure ulcers? Pericare and staffing makes all the difference.

    AMA House of Delegates Considers Limits on on Nursing Education and Practice

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    For the first time I was seen by a NP for a medical exam-the difference between the exam I received by this NP and every other doctor I have ever seen in my 40+years was night and day! It was the...

    AMAZED at what some students get away with!!!

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

    Again, no student should be onsite without their instructor and behavior parameters. The school and the hospital are at fault if that doesn't happen. Don't blame the students for lack of direction....

    Not allowed to say "I was busy w/ another pt"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I like Vito's idea....your manager and administration obviously have the answer as they created the problem. Better yet, print this thread and leave it around your floor-ANONYMOUSLY OF COURSE! Maisy...

    Not allowed to say "I was busy w/ another pt"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's BS! Can you tell I worked today....it was a BS day! I can't stand when patients who are not acute whine about any nurses lack of "face time". I always get great reports, am mentioned often in...

    Customer Service and 24 hour visitation

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

    HORRIBLE IDEA! I am all for customer service, and even for family members staying with their sick loved one....but I believe in enabling them to be self-sufficient. This PG BS has got to stop!...

    Why do dying people reach upward?

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

    When FIL was dying-he kept talking about a friend from his youth and married life. Would say that he talked to him on the phone....FIL passed on the same day of his friends death. He also kept trying...

    Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    If we don't write on a note why a patient is out from work-what gives that or any CN or manager the right to share privilaged information? In NJ it is illegal....PERIOD! I would definately report...

    Emergency Services- Medical?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to BeachyRNn08's topic in Emergency

    Personally, I think it's a great idea! ER is great to start as a new grad-ours is broken up into medical, acute, urgent care and pediatrics. Our pediatrics is separate. No one can be flow...

    Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    Don't have herpes, but understand it is very painful. Perhaps the lesions are in other areas besides genitals, or perhaps they are on his brain! That is definately not something I would share with a...

    What is the Law for Nurses taking breaks?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Ebeza's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If you are paid for break you are ON, otherwise you could walk out of the building-YOUR UNPAID BREAK IS YOURS. Unions are supposed to advocate for you-you must have the same sub-standard one that...

    Pizza on tuesday

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    You miss my point-as another poster mentioned it's just like being a parent with a whiny kid or a teenager with a screaming parent. People learn to tune you out. If you are going to offer a...

    Pizza on tuesday

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Okay a couple of things jump out at me. First, when anyone has a problem-they should always have a viable solution (or several) thought out for the presentation as the fix. Second, usually when...

    Need your opinion, please

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

    What may help is just in case orders. I worked on an Oncology floor prior to the ER and learned alot from those nurses. They pre-plan for emergencies and side effects. Now in the ER depending on...

    Nasty co-workers??

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to CLJ1988's topic in General Nursing

    It really depends on your job experiences. I worked in another industry prior to nursing. Relationships and personalities either mesh, or they don't. I am too old to care what others think about...

    New grad RN with questions on IVP meds

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

    Most facilities have policies to follow with iv push medications. Push meds can depend on the patient in addition to the reccommendations. Imagine a 25 yo with sickle cell-5mg morphine will probably...

    Nurses demand lawmakers force hospitals to ease workload.

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Justme123's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it!!!

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

    I am not sure they believe it will happen to them. I have two kids in college and listening to them talk I am convinced that certain things that seem like common sense when you are older just don't...

    I hate it!!!

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

    Your mom used common sense...no longer seems to be a requirement when assessing what an emergency is in and if a need exists to visit the ER. I used the ER several times during my youth-all for...

    I hate it!!!

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

    Personally, in opposition to my usual liberal viewpoints, I wish all teenagers and young women were on depo shots until they were proven to be able to support themselves! There is nothing more...

    AMAZED at what some students get away with!!!

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

    Truthfully, expectations from both the hospital staff and the school need to be put into writing AND everyone should know what they are. Clinical instructors should be on the floor with their...

    stupid question 1075 - b

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to bigreddog1934's topic in Emergency

    We do it all the time. Obviously it was an emergency....what difference did it make? What if your patient has an arm that can't be used either due to node removal or dialysis access...you will use...
