  13. i have heard of it, when you use the cuff and if you do not have a stethoscope but without a cuff, something seems odd nici
  14. actually our infection doctor and infection control nurse both said it is ok if you are at least 2-3 feet away from the patient, but every hospital and its policies are different nici
  15. in germany we always mixed our own stuff, no pharmacy there never had any errors happen, it is the norm no big deal nici

  17. i know how you feel, i am just now ( after 9 days) getting rid of my virus, same thing had a fever for 8 of those days, fortunately i do not have to work, i am prn anyway so i stayed home under my blanket and let my husband take over the house feel better soon nici
  18. usually your husband stays in the hospital for 1 or 2 nights, turp = transurethal prostatectomy, expect after surgery continuos bladderirrigation for at least one night, most patients have not a lot of pain, they get suppository containing opiates to ease bladder spasm, next day ( 1. post op day) usually the irrigation gets titrated until stopped, ( 2. day post op) discontinue foley and do frequent bladder ultrasounds to see if the patient can void ok, than mostly patient gets discharged the same day, most of my patients did not make a big deal out of it, just watch for large amounts of blood in urine at home nici

  23. actually i do not know any hospital that uses latex gloves anymore, most of them changed already, because it is not only a danger to you it is also a danger to patients, a lot of people have a latex allergy also your hospital has to protect you and your co-workers , i also do not think that latex free gloves are that much more expensive, i think it is about the same good luck nici
  24. i am currently working wound care and i like it, it is much better than bedside nursing because it is not chaotic, everything goes in a timely manner and the patients are nice, i also work 5 days a week, from 0700 am to 1530 and thats it nici
  25. when i first started as a nursing student in good old germany, i had a patient asking for a scissor, well i gave it to her, she ended up cutting all her lines including the catheter that thought me a lesson, never give a scissor to a patient nici
