I definitely agree with the reputation of our unit. Fortunately, patients are delighted and more than happy with what are giving them.

Im a head nurse in the NICU Department. Im having a hard time thinking of projects for our department that doesn't require the hospital to invest. Our admins wants us to think of projects that will increase our income and help the department "grow". ...

Thank you for the positive insights! The projects that I have discussed with are from the staff too We've placed a lot of effort when we did the plans, but still was not good enough for the management. Our deliveries are just about 10-20 a month. Mo...

I just wanted to ask what are the possible signs of aspiration pneumonia? We had a patient, a 30 weeker expired recently. The neonatologist says it might be aspiration pneumonia. That night, breast milk feedings via OGT of 4ml every 2hrs was given, ...

Unfortunately, the parents have not opted to do an autopsy. I wish it was done too. The nurse noticed that when she pulled out the tube when she reinserted that shift, she noticed some green contents at the end of the tube. NEC? There were also insta...

i referred to the resident on duty but they didn't care to assess him.

we had a patient who is a victim of gun shot wounds. the doctor did an explore laparotomy. on his first admission day, he had coffee ground drainage on his ngt. on his second admission day, he became restless, and moved side to side. he was also swea...

yes, his hgb hct values were normal post op day 1. his dx includes colon injury. he had 3 bullets that went through his transverse colon, as what i've seen on his operative report.

In the hospital I am working in, if the census is low, you have to leave forcefully. That is in favor of the nurses though.

This is quite off topic but I agree.:) BOTTOM LINE: If you feel like you're being left out by two co-workers talking with each other on their languages, tell them off immediately.

Agree. Sorry, but the topic is MOSTLY zoning to our nationality. I know some do not represent the entire citizen but by certain individuals. So I couldn't help but react. And yes, it is F I L I P I N O.

Yeah, Filipino RNs abroad, speak in ENGLISH. For the safety of everyone.

Not all I think. Some live by the policies that the institution had presented. Not all of us break rules you know. People tend to generalize and stereotype, so please refrain from doing so.

So most of the posters here are saying is when you're in an English speaking zone, whether or break or not, you have to speak the language. I am a Filipino so I know how it feels when you talk with a fellow Filipino. It's a connection, that you are n...

her main attending physician ordered a go signal that she can go home. i did not understand the text when i read it, and i gave it(the phone) to the previous shift. the fact is, she doesn't understood what it meant either. the reason why the doctor h...

From the title above, I need your answers. When are you liable in your shift? Is it starting from your shift, without the endorsement yet? Or after endorsement? Thanks. Probably it is more accurate to say your nursing liability.

i think i am somewhat on the same boat. i am a staff reliever, for 2 1/2 months no assurance of getting promoted as a staff nurse, earning $6 PER DAY (yes, that happens in our country), 15+ toxic patients and relatives and the deal breaker of all, th...

the thing is, a doctor texted that the patient can go home the following morning. the message was received during my shift, and i showed the text message to the nurse from the previous shift. she told me that it is okay already, since she already tal...

@asystole I am referring to this. Sorry if my statement is ambiguous. What I am trying to ask is that when are you liable for your patients? Is it after the previous shift had endorsed the patients? Or you are liable still if your shift is already on...

Med error so far was the AP ordered a Dulcolax tab but I inserted suppositories. 2 even! That was a telephone order. I echoed it but somehow I didn't know why I made it such.

i am part of this group. the floor i am in is categorized as med-surg floor, although sometimes pedia patients are going in there too. in a month, i already had two incident reports (one was really my mistake, the other was just endorsed to me). i fe...

I defintely agree with everyone. When I was a student, I never thought it would be this hard. You are the one to blame if something happened to your patient, as long as they are under your shift. A lot of things were not learned at school, especially...

to cut the story short, i received a pedia patient from the ER with an Intravenous Fluid already consuming that needs to run for 10 hours but was infused in 1 1/2 hour. did call the resident to check up on him, but nevertheless no documentation done ...

I was endorsed a 3 y/o male with bronchitis. We did the endorsement on the station. He had a skin test that needs to be checked. So after endorsement, I immediately went went to his room after and checked the skin test (I know the doctors should ...

that means when receiving the patient from any unit, endorsements should be done in the patient's room, beside his bed. hence, "bedside endorsement".
