    Question about pain management

    klone replied to aship's topic in General Nursing

    What you give, when, should not be at the discretion of the nurse. It should be clearly defined in the order (e.g. give one Percocet for pain of 1-3; give 2 Percocet for pain of 4-7; give Morphine for...

    How to deal with this conflict?

    klone replied to drkshadez's topic in General Nursing

    Then I would submit that bedside nursing is not an appropriate area for you. Because a bedside nurse simply doesn't have the time to sit at a patient's side for an hour and let the med pass be damned....

    FMLA coverage

    klone replied to greener22's topic in General Nursing

    As BTDT stated, the hospital can do what they want, particularly if you're not union or have any state-mandated staffing requirements. Have you talked to your manager about why s/he isn't getting a...

    Late pass because of job!!

    klone replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

    Are you posting this from work? Maybe instead of taking time out of your day to register a username and post on a message board, you should just work on getting your meds passed? Seriously - if you...

    Mother/baby and L&D

    klone replied to jenoglv's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I disagree that the IBCLC is overrated. Many/most people I know who have it, do it for personal accomplishment/satisfaction, rather than because they want to make money from it. I think if you want...

    I don't think the OP was necessarily WRONG, per se. Just acting so ridiculously dramatic about the whole thing that I think many of us are just playing along at this

    WHNP/CM program (Georgetown?)

    klone replied to jw2015's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, you could get it from Frontier as well (just not concurrently). And if you want to be a midwife and catch babies, then you may want to rethink the WHNP degree, which is somewhat of a...

    klone replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    Really? You don't think that's a ridiculous, hyperbolic leap? Davey, can you do a cartoon on beer being a gateway drug to cocaine? Beer is cheap. Cocaine is not (from what I've been told). Who's...

    preemployment drug testing

    klone replied to babynurse98's topic in Nurses Recovery

    This is what's wrong. Your prescription is for 1mg, and you are taking 2mg. Whether or not something like this would be caught through a UDS, who knows. But if you need 2mg. of Ativan (or whatever)...

    want to become an NP in the OR, but can't figure out next step after getting RN!

    klone replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

    As I mentioned before, becoming an NP isn't a typical path to the OR. As I said earlier, I would just focus on graduating and trying to land an RN position in the OR, and then go from there. You do...

    klone replied to bubbles42's topic in General Nursing

    I will preface this by saying that I am NOT an OR nurse, although I do know how to circulate for cesarean deliveries. My understanding is that an RNFA is not a scrub nurse. S/he is FIRST ASSIST. At...
