    Toradol + narcotics and safety?

    klone replied to NewGradNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    RNC-OB study materials

    klone replied to mcwitty1's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In addition to SBE's suggestion, I really liked the Mometrix guide. It has a large practice exam, and then you can see how you did, what areas you are weaker in, and you can then tailor your studies...

    Nurses make me sick

    klone replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    General Nursing Melting Pot

    klone replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Why do I come here? It's a habit that I haven't been able to quit. My participation here waxes and wanes. I enjoy being one of the "seasoned" nurses who provides wisdom to others (at least, that's how...

    faxing report in partpartum

    klone replied to cwiberg's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think it's a horrible idea, and goes against TJC's guidelines on safe transfer/continuity of care. I think hand-off should always be live-person-to-live-person (ideally, IN PERSON, so both nurses...

    'Taking Call? Am I missing something??

    klone replied to Calbrunette's topic in General Nursing

    Welp, then it sounds like you should pass on the job. They are up front at what the expectations are, and you do not find them to be acceptable. You did not specify what exactly the call was -...

    klone replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    I've attempted to watch this show 3 times now, and every time, I shut it off after about 10 minutes. So, I guess I'm most of the way through the first episode. It's

    What else can be done about a nurse sleeping on duty??

    klone replied to Kastiara's topic in General Nursing

    Does your hospital have an anonymous ethics hotline? If your immediate manager isn't doing anything about it, I would consider calling the hotline and reporting it. Or, send an email to the hospital...
