  1. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. They can. So can medical teams in the US. Compare appealing to the courts for the ability to transfuse a child of Jehovahs Witnesses. Yes, it's an argument in favor of sustaining versus...

  2. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    This is a false conflation. As MunoRN said, it was the judiciary that decided Alfie's fate, and that of Charlie Gard before him. Fortunately I was never involved in as desperate a situation as this...

  3. I took a 25 mg of Seroquel the night before a drug test, will it show up as a something?

    Coffee Nurse replied to Pdjorgen's topic in Patient Medications

    Prescribed. Not "given." OP should still not be popping prescription meds that are not

  4. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    The only way that money factors into this is that now Alfie's bereaved, early-20-something parents aren't left with thousands and thousands of pounds of medical bills, as they no doubt would have been...

  5. Universal Deathcare.

    Coffee Nurse replied to Kyrshamarks's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, don't even START. This had nothing to do with universal healthcare and everything to do with an utterly tragic situation with grief-stricken parents who could not accept their baby boy's reality,...

  6. Crap! Am I a crusty old bat nurse?? Carrying pens...

    Coffee Nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It's not a millennial thing. I'm a millennial. I always have a pen on me, at work or otherwise. I'm pretty sure this is a learned nurse behavior, not an age

  7. I graduated in 1981 as an LVN in Texas. I am now inactive. I am wanting to know my license

    Coffee Nurse replied to denise14's topic in General Nursing

    This seems like a question better directed to the Texas

  8. What's your best catch?

    Coffee Nurse replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    There's a joke in there

  9. What's your best catch?

    Coffee Nurse replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    As a newish grad, I had a very sick kiddo on multiple inotropes one night. Changed all his lines per usual at the beginning of the shift, then watched as his BP drifted down and down over the next...

  10. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Coffee Nurse replied to newrn93's topic in International Nursing

    Sadly, no, I wasn't joking. It makes no sense why the government and the NMC both seem to be actively trying to discourage people from entering the nursing profession in the UK, but the end result is...

  11. How to get CA to release information

    Coffee Nurse replied to bwheele6's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure you've seen this on CA's website, but: "If the application packet includes a form to request verification of licensure, complete your personal information, including your California RN...

  12. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Coffee Nurse replied to newrn93's topic in International Nursing

    There are per diem positions, both hospital-based and agency-based, but as I said, you need a visa in order to be able to live and work in the UK, and no employer will sponsor an immigrant for a visa...

  13. Unfair Fundamentals Clinical Testing?

    Coffee Nurse replied to jbernardo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am seriously trying to imagine what must have been going through your poor instructor's head as she watched you blunder your way through this fiasco. Even though this was an exam, and even though...

  14. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Coffee Nurse replied to newrn93's topic in International Nursing

    After re-reading the notification from NHS Employers to trusts about Continental's sponsorship license revocation, my understanding is that this model is fundamentally at odds with Home Office...

  15. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Coffee Nurse replied to newrn93's topic in International Nursing

    What I'm saying is that I don't think there are any agencies based on the American model of travel nursing (i.e. temporary assignments with full-time hours) left. I skimmed the O'Grady website this...

  16. Travel Nursing to London and/or Africa

    Coffee Nurse replied to newrn93's topic in International Nursing

    There are no American agencies placing nurses in the UK that I am aware of, and there do not appear to be any UK-based agencies left; I went over about six years ago with Continental Travelnurse but...

  17. Is the charge nurse the boss of unit secretary?

    Coffee Nurse replied to Ajean1203's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you visiting someone at work in a hospital

  18. April Fools Jokes

    Coffee Nurse replied to cardiacfreak's topic in General Nursing

    I've always wanted to page the lift team to the NICU and ask them to help me move a >5kg

  19. rn license endorsement

    Coffee Nurse replied to nikkitita14's topic in General Nursing

    IF you're already licensed, what does NCLEX have to do with anything? Just apply for an Oregon license by reciprocity based on your Montana license. Also check and make sure that it's legal for you to...

  23. Horrific news item

    Coffee Nurse posted a topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Coffee Nurse replied to Sandradelanian's topic in General Nursing

  25. Interview Qns need advice :)

    Coffee Nurse replied to hellohobbit's topic in General Nursing
