    anangelsmommy replied to FlowersInTheWindow's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  5. Tested positive for dilaudid

    anangelsmommy replied to bobertsmith's topic in Nurses Recovery

    uh...you say that you DIDNT take the dilaudid BUT you DO admit to taking your wifes prescription drug. That is just as wrong. You took a presciption drug that wasnt prescribed to you. Why did you...

  6. How do *you* tell your patient "No"?

    anangelsmommy replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps you should tell them that the excercise is good for them (walking to get the syrup). Or that you are worried you are doing too much for them and is this something he/she could do for...

  9. New grad struggling with job decisions, 12 shifts and school age kids, advice please!

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    how did you find what your niche was? I sort of feel a bit like I am bit behind the curve. I am starting out quite a bit older than most new nurses and I guess I feel like if I wait too long, I may...

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

  11. New grad struggling with job decisions, 12 shifts and school age kids, advice please!

    I appreciate the feedback. It isnt that I wouldnt put in the work, it is just that normally I work around my husband schedule so I was concerned about trying to find care for them for before and...

  12. How to say it to my manager?

    anangelsmommy replied to carebearsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe home care might be the way to go, but pediatric home care will require you to have one year of pediatric experience. And most other home care will require a year of med surge...but not all? it...

  13. Why not admit this patient?

    anangelsmommy replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that this is the time to turn them in also. If you are at all worried that they might know that you turned them in, being a nieghbor etc. Now EMS has been there twice so any number of...

  16. When drawing push meds, do you draw the med first?

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    dthfytr, what you wrote makes a lot of sense...if you draw up the med first, it doesnt really matter how much diluent you draw up...but that is the opposite of what is being taught. So what is the...

  17. When drawing push meds, do you draw the med first?

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    As far as the air is concerned, I would think it is probably more of a concern with multidose vials and more meds at least in a hospital are coming in single dose. Right? Now if you work in home care...

  18. When drawing push meds, do you draw the med first?

    anangelsmommy replied to anangelsmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Actually injecting the medication into the saline flush seems like it would be the most efficient and not lose any of the medication. We have to label all medication so i would not need to attache...
