    Why Can't Visitors be as Polite As Inmates in the County Jail?

    Virgo_RN replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Along the same lines, I have always been amazed at the wide range of behavior I observe among patients. Some people, you know they are in agony, or they've just been diagnosed with a fatal condition...

    Medication Errors and Write-ups

    Virgo_RN replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, an incident report over a multivitamin does seem a bit extreme. On the other hand, if there is a pattern of missed medications, or a real problem with med errors at your facility, then...

    Question about IVs

    Virgo_RN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I back prime. The primary stops while the piggyback is going in, so I don't need to do anything with the rate of the primary. If the piggyback is incompatible with the primary, then I do not run it...
