  1. QID PRN, HELP!

    sleepwalker replied to thesix's topic in Patient Medications

    I did have a physician who wrote orders this way: "metoprolol succinate 50mg BID PRN SBP >90 mmHg". When I asked for clarification, he said he wanted it given at 9am and 9pm, not at any other...

    sleepwalker replied to Jstna96's topic in General Nursing

    "so I get done feeding my residents, I get up and my nurse stops me and says I have to go pick up all the trays even though it’s way past my time" I don't get it...you were done with feeding...

    sleepwalker replied to fnptobe123's topic in Critical Care

    If you're still employed there contact HR and see if you can rescind your resignation and be put back on the schedule. Just be aware you'll be burning your bridge with the current facility and will...

    sleepwalker replied to ks916's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  10. I'm Overly Stressed Now

    sleepwalker replied to Guest1167840's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    sleepwalker replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    When I used to work in the hospital, as staff in the ICU, management would do this all the time! They especially loved to schedule you Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday since Sunday technically...

  12. Messing Up

    sleepwalker replied to rnlady112's topic in General Nursing

    I did the Barkley review course...well worth

  18. Bombed my interview

    sleepwalker replied to RN1485's topic in Case Management

    Sounds like they've had CM's in the past that weren't capable of reviewing multiple medical scenarios due to a lack of basic knowledge. I took the questions as a simple screening tool to determine...

    sleepwalker replied to MSN RN CNE CNL's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
