    Help- IM injection question!

    klone replied to ORRN0808's topic in Patient Medications

    Well, you would be covered in the hospital, so long as you did not do anything wrong (i.e. used wrong technique and harmed the patient). The same is true in the home setting. A nurse is not going to...

    Often, mobility and transportation are an issue with many people. It may not be feasible or possible for him to come to a clinic on a weekly basis. We do this regularly with patients who need...

    Considering a job in management

    klone replied to Bwashbush's topic in Nurse Management

    I choose to be a hands-on leader, so when it's needed (or even when I just feel like it) I will get right into direct patient care along with the other nurses with whom I work. You can do that as a...

    Dear Abby and social induction of pregnancy

    klone replied to teacupRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep. In fact, he did not say that she wanted to induce at 36 weeks, just that she is 36 weeks NOW and wants to induce "early". "Early" might be at 38 or 39 weeks. The article also didn't say that the...

    Restoring Order

    klone replied to SpookyRN764's topic in Nurse Management

    I agree with Anna. It is really hard (possibly disastrous) to go in and start making a bunch of changes as soon as you get there. It will breed suspicion and hostility from staff. They need to get to...

    Dear Abby and social induction of pregnancy

    klone replied to teacupRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Right. I think the situation, as described third-hand, is very specious. Even 12 years ago, among private practice docs who did not practice evidence-based medicine, I never saw one situation where a...

    Not a CNM, but I work with them daily and see a lot of midwifery students come through for their training. Without exception, the CNMs I work with believe that OB/L&D experience is VERY helpful....

    Sorry if this has already been addressed, haven't read the entire thread yet. It has nothing to do with your boss being "forgiving" - it has to do with what she is mandated by law to report if she is...
