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...

   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...
