    There is no law that would address it. The question is: what is a sensible amount of time to administer CPR/ACLS before "calling" it? Good luck with your
  2. Ours is an incredibly close-knit unit, many of the nurses have worked together for decades. Friendships are very close, both in and outside of work. As the manager, I try to keep somewhat of a...

    Negotiating Pay?

    That's an odd reaction. Why would you be insulted by someone placing value on their skill level and trying to negotiate based on that? I have a high level of respect for any nurse who tries to...

    Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    In fact, OP, the more I think of it, the more this smacks of diversion. And now YOU are involved, because they will see that you pulled morphine out of the Pyxis, on override, without an order, on a...

    How serious is a verbal warning really?

    The disciplinary action is meant to deter or provide recourse for those who abuse it. And there are plenty who do abuse it. If you're getting "the flu" multiple times in a year, then you're either...
