New innovations for diabetes like the new implantable chip that will allow blood sugar testing by just scanning the chip----works by radio frequency........look up ADSX company news on money websites.....will give you info.... Will be wonderful for d...

Since she is RN aware of the practice, that is how she is liable with the BON and state.

Sounds like massive chaos and NM is just trying to roll with the punches. She is probably "talking" to other folks also. It would help you to make some notes to go by as you talk with NM. You could even print off your post to help guide your thought...

Believe me, state will come back on you----and it may be a year from now.........when you think all has blown over.

You must document all this for your own record if nothing else, so that when/if state does come back on you----you will be able to have details to give them. They will have no mercy. Your only hope is to get out of that situation, since the adminis...

He just manipulated you. Don't fall for anymore of his hooey.

You are placing yourself in harm's way with BON if you stay in your job with this happening. It is just a fact that people cannot practice nursing without licenses. The Facility itself is also placing itself in harm's way for fines from state for the...

There are tons of choices in nursing...........not just ER and LTC.

You can do a search on http://www.mercola.com and read quite a lot of factual info on plastics.

Social worker is another role for hospice career. Admission coordinator is antoher one. Volunteer coordinator is another one. Pastoral care can be a paid position as well. There are chaplain positions as well as bereavement counselor positions. Bot...

Do you mean you have to move to another house also? Make a list of pros and cons for yourself. Try to think of everything that could possibly go right/wrong. Give it some time and go back and look at your list again. Decide what is more important to ...

I think it has to do with the personality of the doctor. You cannot control his personality. All you can do is do what you know is right yourself and appropriate for the family.

Lighten up on yourself. Ask coworkers for time-saving tips.......or pick out someone who you see getting it all done and copy them. You can also take tidbits from different nurses' organization skills........whatever works for you. It will take you ...

What is more important---------friendship or the child's welfare? You have to think of the child.

Another way to use the syringe is to pull the plunger out before you insert it in the IV line........the fluid just backs up into the syringe and the bubbles rise right through it.

Are you using a pump or just running the fluid through the line manually?

I think that actually it would be better to not try to explain to her all about each med. What about just trying to reassure/comfort her and simply tell her the doctor is ordering meds to try to save his life.

I think your first step is to change your attitude re: "Nothing I can do about this situation." You must think of and list positive steps you can take in actions and in your thoughts to stand up for yourself. Even though you think there are no witne...

Both are good professions. Some places pay more for P.T. than for RN. P.T. jobs are in great demand. Check out the pay for both positions in areas you think you will be living. Check out variety of positions/number of positions available in area you ...

By the way, I have always been honest with job interviews re: very important to me that staff get along with each other. I have never had in interviewer voice negative reaction to this philosophy.

I agree that people like this can ruin our work situations. I just hate that they keep their positions while running good folks away. Standing and fighting for your job is one choice, but it is miserable to live through. It is great when management h...

I do not know the name of the product, but do know there is one that tells immediately about illegal drugs. St John's hospital at Joplin, Missouri uses it. Maybe you could email their employee nurse to get the name of the product.

I would also think about contacting other facilites, even though you like this one. Another facility might jump at the chance to give you day shift.
