2. Is your ICU staffed with mostly New Grads?

   Morguein posted a topic in Critical Care

   What do you all think of having mostly new grads in your ICU than experienced ICU nurses? Do you see that as a recipe for disaster, or bringing in new creative fresh ideas, etc? Has anyone ever...

3. Late admissions/close to shift change

   Morguein replied to Enmc412's topic in Critical Care

   I feel like you should do what you can in the hour that you have left. I'd assess the patient, do any STAT labs, and any emergent STAT orders like hanging blood and starting drips. Then, I'd get the...

4. Joint commission and their ridiculous mandates

   Morguein replied to nightdove's topic in Critical Care

   I get what both sides are saying here. I work critical care too; and sometimes, my patients are too sick to leave them in order to document all this real time information that's required. I'd say...

6. HIPAA Violation?

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

   I've noticed that we can't delete any of our own blogs. Does anyone know why? I went through all of my posts to make sure they were "okay" and didn't need to delete any of them; but If I had wanted...

8. HIPAA Violation?

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

   I definitely need to be more on the cautious side. I am used to speaking my mind on my page and expressing my frustrations, etc... But I guess that's pretty dumb huh? I've learned a lot in just the...

   Morguein replied to Morguein's topic in General Nursing

10. HIPAA Violation?

    Morguein posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello. I hope someone can help me with this. I am confused about the whole HIPAA thing. Everything I learned at work about HIPAA was about not revealing a patient's name, room number, their...

    Eventually, I'd like to move to the same area. I have sister who lives in the Satellite Beach area and I'd like to live near her since we are very close. I also work in ICU. How do you like the...

12. new icu nurse did I make thew right decision

    Morguein replied to nurserev's topic in Critical Care

    You are perfect for the ICU. I don't know what's up with your preceptor. The ICU is usually pretty busy; and yes, things do need to get done quickly, but it's sooo easy to forget to do stuff. So...
