    MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    OH NO! I guess the placebo effect does work! I have taken Ultram with relief, then again 1/2 flexeril knocks me out!

    Care Plans - What does the Experienced Nurse Think of Them?

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

    I hated careplans; but they really have their place when you are building on your medical knowledge. The purpose is to help you make the connections between disease, maintenace, and getting well or...

    MD ordered placebo for pain PRN~would you give it?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    Again, my issue is that pain relief would even be an area in which any nurse or physician would take a chance. A flexeril can stop spasms: spasms= pain, but we wouldn't classify it as a pain...

    Triage at the bedside

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

    I appreciate the reply, we see approx 75K or more per year. This has been rolled out, without a back up plan and without input from the nurses. No evaluation, then re-evaluations has been performed....

    Triage at the bedside

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

    Thank for answering, I have a couple of questions: How many patients do you see every year? How many triage nurses are involved in working up your patients? What is your nurse/patient ratio? And just...

    Triage at the bedside

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

    I was really hoping to see some interest or response to this post. Only one person responded postively to the practice and I have not gotten any particulars from mcvaragon. We are meeting to discuss...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Linda's point is being missed, if you want to call yourself a professional anything one year doesn't cut it! All other professions have made their entry level count! Why can't we? The only nurses...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is what I mean, not part of our CNAs practice ever in NJ! We have Clinical techs in the ER only and they are all EMTs, nursing students and paramedic students! They don't do foleys, but assist...

    Triage at the bedside

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

    So far the only people who find this a totally positive thing are the patients who are unaware of the danger they face, the hospital, and the physician's group. My worst fear occurred recently,...

    "LPNs should be done away with altogether"

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to missjennmb's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It's a shame it gets to this, and again why nurses will never be as strong as the AMA, even though there are so many more of us! If all programs were the same, we'd have the same results. They...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    I'll give you an example, recently had a patient who was on extended relief morphine PO, with dilaudid for breakthrough pain-came to ER in crisis. Our order-1mg dilaudid iv, I asked the doc did he...

    Just because someone appears unconscious does not mean they can't feel pain. Ask you peers who have cancer patients. Some cancers are so insidious that unless artificial coma was induced and perhaps...

    Should people with germs on their clothes and hands be visiting the hospital?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to beetlebailey524's topic in General Nursing

    I guess the word TRUST comes to mind when I see placebo, if that patient doesn't have you-they have no one! Put yourself in their place, vulnerable, obviously in the hospital for a problem; in pain...

    What should your title look like?

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

    Actually when you think of all of the bridge programs available it is possible to have a BA or BS and get your MSN, in that same vein it is also possible to have a dipoloma and no degree yet be an RN....

    A name for Computer on Wheels

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to butterfly9's topic in General Nursing

    I call ours POS, they never work and I end up writing my triage notes down and charting later:bugeyes: Management doesn't appreciate my evaluation of this equipment, but the truth hurts doesn't it?

    Personally, I don't think we are going to have to worry about LTC, you'll see we will be cutting non-compliant patients who get sick-OFF, limiting benefits with real age cut-offs, and to those who are...
