  1. Infuriating Code Status Changes

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is surprisingly common. My 96 year old aunt had DNR on file with the hospital, and was admitted full code. And, in the ER, we sometimes get the information late, and wrongly

  2. Denmark becomes first EU country to lift all Covid-19 restrictions

    Guest219794 replied to chare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you are mistaken. The research was done by three economists one of whom is a JH professor. Apparently a well known (in some circles) conservative/libertarian who contributes to the...

  3. Denmark becomes first EU country to lift all Covid-19 restrictions

    Guest219794 replied to chare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This has actually been an educational thread. Daisy- thank you for posting that link. It gave others the opportunity to show how something with a grain of truth can be manipulated. It really...

  4. Pushing IV Meds Without Scrubbing Hub

    Guest219794 replied to catl8y's topic in General Nursing

    Are your educators educated? Serious question. Not an expert in the subject, but I am pretty sure the whole point of Curos is sterile access. I am 100% that compliance with a 30 second prep of...

  5. Denmark becomes first EU country to lift all Covid-19 restrictions

    Guest219794 replied to chare's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's an interesting take away. I was thinking they must have had good mitigation strategies. How does their mitigation compare to

  6. Stuck Between A Rock And A Hard Place

    Guest219794 replied to ham333's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In answer to the question- Let HR know when you expect to meet their job requirements, and see what you can negotiate. You have proven your ability to make your case with both your school, and the...

  7. Does the federal Covid mandates apply to homecare nurses?

    Guest219794 replied to guest1171208's topic in Disaster Preparation

    More accurately, it is satire. Fake news is yet anther dormant screen name coming to life for the sole purpose promoting the narrative that has worsened this

  8. If you could go back in time, what would you tell the first American COVID patient before he boarded the plane from Wuhan?

    Guest219794 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If I had the opportunity to talk to this man before he got on the flight, I would tell him to order the kosher meal. Many people find it tastier regardless of dietary preferences. As far as...

  9. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    Guest219794 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate all your feedback about how one day I might develop into a competent nurse. I will be sure to incorporate it in my various roles as triage, charge, preceptor, and hospital code...

  10. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    Guest219794 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    I do. "IV 1000ml D5 1/2 NS 60ml x 24 hours" To be clear- I do not question the intention regarding the rate. That is- assuming the clinical condition of the pt matches the order. But- the...

  11. Giving Report and IV Access

    Guest219794 replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    The best way to be ready for an emergency in regards to an IV is not to have somebody verbalize to you their memory of the IV. Even if they checked it recently, and report it accurately, there is...

  12. Interpret This Order For Me Please

    Guest219794 replied to guest1143647's topic in General Nursing

    So what? Of course they don't like being called- who would? So what? They chose a particular job, and that job involves call? I do all kinds of thing in my job I don't like. Including...

  13. Infuriating Code Status Changes

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Apparently, we can. Until somebody wins an expensive lawsuit, and this abuse becomes expensive. Right now, it is the easiest path. I hope somebody makes it

  14. Are you a Nurse just for the money or do you do it from your heart?

    Guest219794 replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    False dichotomy. I like the job. I like the pay. Best pay I can get with a 2 year degree, and scrubs are comfy. Also- occasionally I save lives, and sometimes I get to use a load...

  15. Giving Report and IV Access

    Guest219794 replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely. There are nuances that are not charted that help the oncoming nurse understand the big picture. Family involvement, pt pet peeves, that sort of thing. And, having the off going nurse...

  16. Infuriating Code Status Changes

    Guest219794 replied to JBMmom's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The fact that we allow this abuse of patients is a disgrace. There is no possible justification for it. Hospitals allow it because the victim is entirely powerless, and cannot object, or sue....

  17. Giving Report and IV Access

    Guest219794 replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    Silly and lazy. Interesting perspective. I would say it is silly to think a verbal report is more accurate than charted documentation, and lazy to expect another nurse to spoon feed it to you....

  18. Should hospitals inform patients and family that COVID positives nurses and staff may be working on a unit?

    Guest219794 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I noticed you used all caps for ASYMPTOMATIC. Almost right. Just remove the "A". It is now considered OK for for those with "mild" symptoms to return to work after 5 days of quarantine. "Mild" is...

  19. Covid and Hospitals: How are things now?

    Guest219794 replied to CrunchRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No comparison. Not even

  20. Giving Report and IV Access

    Guest219794 replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    Why? Why are folks focused on the bore of the IV? The integrity of the vein itself is absolutely critical for vasopressors, vessicants, etc. But why does anybody think that the guage IV is...

  21. Frustrated with Hospital Disregard for RN and Patient Safety

    Guest219794 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Sure you can. When my hospital was requiring strict and long quarantines, they were not testing nurses. Obviously, had they been testing nurses, they would have had to have more staff in...

  22. COVID-ROOMMATE

    Guest219794 replied to SonjaRRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Its a legit concern. But, the only thing is, there is no other way to handle it. As is, patients are getting sub optimal treatment as they languish in

  23. Giving Report and IV Access

    Guest219794 replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    ER nurse perspective here: It's silly and annoying, but I generally know where and what the IVs are, so I pass it on. To the floor. In the ER, when we pass this on to each other, it is...

  24. Clinical Rotation In COVID Unit

    Guest219794 replied to Elice's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Are you making contact with known Covid without a fit tested N-95? If so, something is wrong. Somebody screwed up. A policy is being

  25. Docs & Nurses = Murderers

    Guest219794 replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    There are some great podcast out there. The fact that there are schmucks out there using the medium shouldn't keep you away. Mein Kampf was a book, but we still
