    EFM strips and storage

    klone replied to obnurse9398's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The alternative to that silly intervention is to just make a policy not to write anything on the strip. When I worked at a place that did paper charting, we charted on the strip all the time. Every...

    Is this low?

    klone replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Wrong injection!

    The only "extra" the patient got was pertussis. TD = Tetorifice and Diphtheria. First, did you give TDaP or DTaP? Second, how old was the patient? If the patient was a younger child, the DTaP (or...

    Do an online RN-BSN program, which you should be able to finish in less than a year, then apply to a midwifery program. There are direct entry RN-MSN programs that bypass the BSN, but in my...

    Legalization of recreational marijuana

    Legalization of recreational marijuana

    klone replied to francoml's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Homeopathy and herbalism are not the same thing. Digoxin is derived from the plant foxglove (botanical name is Digitalis) but I've never heard of a reputable medical practitioner using homeopathic...

    6th nursing job in 4 years?

    klone replied to rjstrickland23's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's really not too much for one nurse to learn. That's how MANY smaller OB units operate, and nurses do it all the time. I think that maybe you have an unrealistic idea of how a new grad (and...
