    Should Healthcare Professionals Ask About Guns in the Home?

    klone replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I ask every patient I see about HIV history or exposure, as well as abortion hx. It's part of my duty as a women's healthcare provider. If I worked in pediatrics, I would ask about corificeats, bike...

    klone replied to P-RN's topic in General Nursing

    We are also specifically talking about this discussion in the context of a PEDIATRIC setting (or BH/MH). The random adult medicine patient, don't give a flying fig if you own a gun. In the context of...

    Pharmaceutical companies are crooks!

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in research, we had to be very careful about specifying how much of our time went to drug trial research, and how much went to "everything else." We had to do this at every pay

    Except that the FDA has categorized these two medications as Pregnancy Category Risk A years ago. This combination of medications has been well-studied for over 50 years. Interestingly enough, this...

    Is it possible to get the holidays off?

    klone replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    Me me! I work in a clinic, though. We all have holidays off. My manager just asked me if I wanted Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve off, but I declined. I like working those days, because everyone's so...

    Need reasons why becoming a nurse first, then becoming a doctor, is a bad idea

    klone replied to jeaux's topic in General Nursing

    My facility will pay tuition reimbursement for any field that the facility offers for employment. So if I decided to go to law school, or get a degree in accounting or IT, they would reimburse

    Non-accredited RN program

    Pharmaceutical companies are crooks!

    klone replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Of course I do, but that's not what this thread was about. FWIW, the facility I work for is an FQHC, so we regularly "write off" medications and give them to patients for free. And because most of...

    Pharmaceutical companies are crooks!

    True, but this combination of meds has been used for about 50 years in pregnant patients, and there is a lot of research out there already about it. It had been offered many years ago as a different...

    L&D vs Postpartum ... literally

    klone replied to DWelly14's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yep, in my experience, this is a common occurrence when L&D and postpartum are completely separate departments. The only place where I didn't find this attitude was at a place that was LDRP, or...

    Can you recommend a medication?

    klone replied to russianbear's topic in Patient Medications

    I have one provider who doesn't go to that point, but when I give her a report of my assessment, she always says "Okay, what do you think we should do?" Most of the time I appreciate that she values...

    There is such a huge difference in culture and environment between teaching and non-teaching hospitals! Keep doing what you're doing; maybe the other nurses can learn from

    When is the last time you spoke with or emailed with Assistant NM A? If it's been more than two weeks, I would say it's okay to just send a very brief email, stating that "Unit B hired another...

    Grad School Nursing Direction
