    Lowest Dose of Morphine To Cause Death

    klone replied to thisnurse123's topic in General Nursing

    Having just gone through this with my mother, who was on hospice (she passed peacefully on Tuesday morning), I would say absolutely not. My mother was getting 5mg liquid morphine every 2-3 hours for...

    OB jobs non-bedside

    klone replied to Katelyn G's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You could work as an RN in an OB/Gyn clinic (that's what I did when I was burned out on bedside L&D and I LOVED working in a clinic setting). If you have a BSN, you could also work as a home...

    Opioid Addiction and The Alex Murdaugh Case

    klone replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    They all sound like they were POS - Alec, Buster, and Paul. They were born into privilege and their money and status allowed them to do whatever they wanted without

    Is it wrong to "pass on" things to someone with more talent than you?

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe he WOULD be better at your job. So you were hired to do a job, which you haven't yet done because you don't know how to do it? Do I have that correct? What is your plan for figuring...

    Being Snarky to Get Needed Help

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    That's not snark so much as passive-aggressiveness. Not a very effective tactic for a good

    Nails and Nursing

    klone replied to Bones17's topic in General Nursing

    I used to do my own at home, but they always looked crappy, I was spending a ton of money and time on various different products and supplies (trying different dips, gel polishes, quick-dry polishes,...

    Are ALL Nurses Trauma Informed? Take the Survey

    klone replied to Vickye Hayter's topic in General Nursing

    If you work at a safety-net organization, or for an organization that sees a lot of disenfranchised patients, you would be more likely to be familiar with trauma-informed care. As the manager of an...

    Weird Performance Evaluation

    klone replied to ChaosCoordinatorRN's topic in General Nursing

    Weird, I've NEVER seen that on individual employee evaluations, and I've given them at 5 different organizations. That makes NO sense that YOU would be rated on "employee retention" The only thing...

    Nails and Nursing

    klone replied to Bones17's topic in General Nursing

    Everywhere I've worked has had a policy of nothing longer than 1/4" beyond the fingertip (which is actually pretty long), no artificial nails, and if polish is allowed, it must be

    Clinical Instructor

    klone replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody is claiming that PHI was not disclosed. We are saying that the instructor did not violate any HIPAA laws. The information that the instructor disclosed does not fall under FERPA....

    What is your attendance policy?

    klone replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    depends entirely on where you work. We cannot answer that. Where I've worked, it was usually counted on a rolling basis. So after 6 or 12 months (or whatever the policy was), that oldest one drops...

    Clinical Instructor

    klone replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    When I went to school, the bold was true for the first time a student does a skill. After that, they are supervised by the nurse they work with/shadow. If a nursing instructor was meant to be with...

    How much sexism is there in nursing?

    klone replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    The only sexism I have experienced in my time as a nurse is the gender pay gap, and male nurses being promoted into leadership positions at a higher rate than women, in spite of nursing being a "pink...

    Using Shopping to Cope with Work

    klone replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    In my last job, the clinic was across the street from Target. If things were stressful, I'd go over to Target on my lunch break, grab a pre-packaged salad for lunch, and buy a houseplant. This is what...

    klone replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, for Pete's sake. Nobody is being mean here. Blunt, sure. But no, we're not being mean. And I will repeat - yes, HIPAA applies to the HOSPITAL. The occupational health department is correct that...

    Access to medical records

    klone replied to ApplePineApple's topic in General Nursing

    So much incorrect information in what is quoted above. First, HIPAA (1 P, 2 A's) laws do not apply to a person viewing their OWN medical records. It just doesn't. Do not conflate a facility's...

    Clinical Instructor

    klone replied to Guest1204365's topic in General Nursing

    Of course HIPAA applies to the HOSPITAL, or people providing care to your daughter. The nursing instructor was not that. That is why we said HIPAA did not apply in that situation. In fact, FERPA would...

    Advice For a New Instructor Please!

    klone replied to New-Instructor's topic in General Nursing

    This bears repeating. Also, I am reminded of a particular nurse at my first job as an RN. I had started there as a student extern and she had a rumor of being "NETY". When I made an error as a...
