  1. fetal heart monitor strips as a legal document

    Allaroundnurse replied to rdhdnrs's topic in Legal

    Is there some kind of back up? If the attorney has someone who knows about L&D they are going to ask about the strips. If they or their information can't be produced that is going to put up a...

    Allaroundnurse replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    :balloons: It's time for nurses (all nurses) to quit fighting as to what type of a degree or non-degree is best. This is what has made room for PA's and MA's in the medical field. We as nurses have to...

  6. Thanks from families

    Allaroundnurse replied to AmyLiz's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy and glad you became a nurse. It almost makes up for the 1am CHF calls for Acute nurses, the 10kg "but I only drank 1 glass of water" days, and my favorite, "OK WHO...

  7. shift change is killing us, Help!

    Allaroundnurse replied to kelluvanurse's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Boy do these words sound familiar. Been there myself a few too many times. The key to a good turnaround is the patient schedule and who is in charge of it. As long as nurses let the pct's run the...

    Allaroundnurse replied to mercyrn02's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

  13. Do RNs declot temporary hemodialysis catheters?

    Allaroundnurse replied to frankie's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Most catheters have the capacity on the clamps. We have started using cathflo activase and found that it works better if you can leave it in overnite. Any other declots we send to the surgeon or to...

  14. nurse/pt ratio?

    Allaroundnurse replied to lee1's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology
