    You don't mention your specialty, I wouldn't consider you old-fashioned it's your opinion and you are entitled to it. We agree to disagree. It really depends on your experiences, doesn't it? As I...

    It depends, the much older and much younger are okay...it's the ones in their late 40's early 50's that exhibit that behavior (in my experience-also not in my 20's) They need me, more than I need...

    Med-surg patients can and do tank quickly----case in point, my FIL is now in hospice directly lated to lack of simple assessment and care on a med-surg floor. Bad care is just that, no matter where...

    Assessment and Urgency a thing of the past?

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

    Just got home from the hospice, everyone there couldn't be nicer or more attentive. FIL breathing and comfort level has improved 100%-PMD IS BANNED! This jerk actually had the nerve to inform them...

    Just an update. FIL is on his way to hospice care-his condition has detiorated to the point of no return. That physician and hospital staff helped him over Niagara falls and no one put out a hand to...

    It's a great question. You will learn more about care at the knee of an ICU nurse while being precepted then you ever will as a med/surg floor nurse with 7-10 patients. Everything you could possibly...

    The hospitalist won't even touch him. They will not step on his physician's toes-this doctor sees tons of geriatric patients. "God help them all!" This is the first time we have ever had him in...

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

    I'd love to have him transferred, but you need an accepting physician and an open bed on the floor. NJ will not transfer a hospitalized patient to an ER. I already checked. I also have every...

    There is nothing wrong with new grads or anyone else in a specialty area as long as the training is sufficient to identify and treat stablized patients or emergency patients. I am sure failure to...

    Angie, That's terrible-I wonder if that patient's PMD really explained what was going on or if figured the hospital would. Happens all the time, we are the bearers of bad news. Thank God, he had you!...
