3. Medication Errors and Write-ups

   feebebe23 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

   Don't get me started on this one! GRRRRRR! Guess what happens when you start writing up, disiplining, firing nurses over med errors? They stop reporting med errors. Obviously, if you have the same...

   feebebe23 replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

   I have been an L&D nurse for 8 years. I have NEVER been forced to participate in an abortion. I simply make it known to my employer what my stance is and that's it. Done deal. Let's deal with some...

6. Question about peer review

   feebebe23 posted a topic in General Nursing

   So I am going to peer review! Yeah! I don't really want to go into specifics for obvious reasons. So I know that some of you out there on this board have served on peer review boards before. Here...

7. What is the typical day like for a labor and delivery nurse?

   feebebe23 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

   I am not saying it's not possible. You just have to understand that you will be required by your license and legally to be "just as responsible" as a 20 year veteran L&D nurse. The most...

10. Crazy things pt's do for pain meds.

11. Help! ? about fetal monitoring

    feebebe23 replied to Lovelee82's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If it was a true STAT and not just emergent then you wouldn't doppler for FHTs in the OR as long as you know you have a viable fetus. You can also skip the shave, the SCDs, surgical counts,...

12. Clock OUT and IN for lunch in a NICU???

    feebebe23 replied to Jerico's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They are doing this at my facility also. The Labor Laws state that you are to get 30 min "away from your work area." So the hospital is just trying to inforce that. Which I get. But don't worry,...

13. Time limits on charting???

    feebebe23 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was under the impression (I'm not sure why) that nurses had 24 hours to make/add comments to their nurses notes. It seamed reasonable that after you go home you might remember something that you...
