    IV Push Practice

    TazziRN replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    Formula? There's a formula? I understand that you need something concrete for your preceptor, but in practice it's pretty simple: when in doubt, push it slow. The only med I can think of off the top...

    Dislike charting???

    TazziRN replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

    No. The charting really isn't all that bad. Yes, it's more than just an ER flow sheet but it's not as bad as some HH nurses make it out to be. I have never taken paperwork home unless I found out just...

    crni, most of the time i love your posts and we've shared some laughs, but i have to disagree with you on this. if you go back and reread that thread (i just read it for the first time), the poster...

    TazziRN replied to xptp29a's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but I disagree with you. Overtime is anything over 8 hours (or 12 depending on the place). A full workday is determined to be an entire shift. 4 hours is a half shift, even if that's all you're...

    TazziRN replied to strive4mores's topic in General Nursing

    you asked for help because you didn't know you had done something wrong. i took that as asking what you should do to rectify it. all of us said pretty much the same thing. i never said it made you a...

    Patients on Medicaid

    TazziRN replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First paragraph: yes, they are doing it illegally. Illegals tend to do that, because they cannot do it legally. And they will keep on doing it because we cannot turn them in for doing so.......there...

    TazziRN replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    On Call

    TazziRN replied to deniseS's topic in Home Health

    You will have nights when the phone won't ring, and other nights when it seems to ring every hour. You learn to do phone triage. What my preceptor told me was "The only things that require you to go...

    TazziRN replied to Shooting4RN's topic in General Nursing
