    Some people will do anything for money.

    EmmaG replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, not really. It was simply something he hoped would engender some sympathy and leniency from the court (and public opinion), being in the middle of the Bible Belt and all that... luckily he didn't...

    new graduate, new challenges!

    EmmaG replied to AlwaysMovingUp's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ah, you'd be surprised. I had just started riding the bike one morning and a little old lady came over to the one next to me. She was pushing 80, maybe older. I thought to myself "ah, how sweet." She...

    Ok, that's better :) But I gotta ask... [old fart] Why not just put a speck of glitter on your nose? [/old

    Stroke & Pain Management?

    EmmaG replied to psalm's topic in General Nursing

    Oh how ridiculous. Sure, allow the patient to be in severe pain, thereby elevating her BP even further. Makes sense to me :icon_rollIf the doc had already ordered po pain meds, why would this nurse...

    How can I improve my med/tele unit?

    EmmaG replied to Johnny Moo Man's topic in General Nursing

    The idea sounds cute, but I wouldn't want to publicly post kids ( or in my case, grandkids) pictures, particularly if there was any way it could be traced back to me ('aw, isn't he cute! whose little...

    Family MD charging office fees for renewing RXs

    EmmaG replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, we nurses deal with people all the time who have no clue what goes on behind the scenes, so to speak; who think all we do is play on the computer and eat bon-bons. Thank you for describing how...

    HIPPA and family members

    HIPPA and family members

    EmmaG replied to blackIrish's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It's a bunch of crap that your management is caving to this ass. Your hospital has a corporate compliance department that investigates and enforces these regulations. And there is a toll-free number...

    new graduate, new challenges!

    EmmaG replied to AlwaysMovingUp's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It really works :)The only drawback was that at that time of the morning the only people there are either the ones who are really into workouts (if you know what I mean lol) or little old ladies. At...

    Nose Piercing

    EmmaG replied to TypicalFish's topic in First Year After Licensure

    A stud is one thing... but I'm not so sure a ring is such a great idea. I can guarantee you at some point a patient will grab it and pull.

    Problems on hospital units

    EmmaG replied to medsurgrnco's topic in General Nursing

    True, everywhere has their 'bad apples', but if it's coming from the management on down then it isn't going to change. No point in getting dragged down with the rest or making yourself sick and...

    Family MD charging office fees for renewing RXs

    EmmaG replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    Five dollars per med is a bit steep; I can understand charging per call. Any office nurses who can give us an idea on the time spent calling pharmacies for refills? My doc wants the pharmacy to call...

    Insulin...When/ When not to give

    EmmaG replied to yurnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We're always learning :)The fact that he went up to 201 without eating tells me he could have received the scheduled dose of insulin at dinner time without problems. However, it's always a good idea...

    Insulin...When/ When not to give

    EmmaG replied to yurnurse's topic in General Nursing

    A sliding scale dose that high tells me the person is pretty resistant to insulin and needs it. I wouldn't have held the insulin without contacting the physician for orders to either give as ordered...
