I too want to thank the OP for posting this topic. It is by far one of my favorites debates to read so far. We are all a little wrong. We are all alittle right. The standards are in the middle and we all have the goal to stay as close to them as possible to make the shift smooth and the pt care outcomes productive.

I don't agree with it and understand your concern. You need to document the time legally in a one hour time frame/ 5pm meds should not be given before 4pm and not later than 5pm without changing the MAR to reflect the change.

Your vent is understandable. You did what was reasonable and appropriate with unfortunately a poor unreasonable outcome. Hindsightedness always comes too late though. Live Learn.

UOW is University of Wyoming. The cheapest brick and mortar University with an on-line RN to BSN program that has been reported on here. Sad to hear about the problems...sigh.

MOM is over rated. HOT PRUNE JUICE IS THE BOMB

I took care of a famous author in their home for a few weeks and it was a wonderful experience. They really didn't need an around the clock RN, but could afford the pleasant convenience.

It is so shocking I was thinking about it at work today. Keep us posted. It is just too wrong to describe. If they canceled your insurance because they knew you would need it, they should simple GO TO JAIL....GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL...... Keep us posted. If it happened to you, a health care worker, it could happen to anyone.

If their temp is 104 will you give a Tylenol? It is the same principle really. I don't consider the doctors order aggressive but prudent. Just my opinion if it ws my MOM so to speak.

Well I think it is better, but still alittle rough. Glad you backed her in a corner and taped her mouth shut. Good for you. At least you Got the Lords birthday off so you can see your family at a good time.

I am in retail and to call in the day AFTER Thanksgiving means you probably shouldn't return to work. I was late last year and got docked two days tardy. WHY DO people shop at 4 AM anyway? The sales are no better than the following Saturday on half the stuff they buy. This year I work the night shift so I hope it will be slower than 4AM. I know the place will look LIKE A TORNADO struck. Used to be Christmas people were not in the hospital unless they were really sick. Now the acuity is ten times higher. Happy Holidays.

You obviously work on a floor that is well oiled and nurse friendly. If you can set your patient goals and MEET them it is the most satisfying place to work.

Here in Nevada it is not illegal to cam-record people in the bathroom............

As far as criticl thinking goes, I am with you 100%. My problem is the forms themselves hold up in court better than nurses do. That is why the OP is disgusted. So even if I and the patient chose to override the form most institutions have a release form they can sign to wave the high risk restrictions and I would use them to ....CMA.

Your an angel.

I have one thing to say ....woe. Dagger in my heart. Imustbecrazy, is not crazy she is right.
