    TazziRN replied to platon20's topic in General Nursing

    TazziRN replied to Soneshine's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked ER I did 12's in 2-week cycles: M-T, S-S, W-TH. Now I work HH M-F. I choose my start time unless there are meetings, and I end about 8 hours later. Weekends and holidays off unless it's...

    TazziRN replied to woody62's topic in Texas Nursing

    Woody, I believe that if the BON finds in your favor and something had happened to the pt during this time, you would not be held liable as long as deliberate misaction was not in play. Morte, how...

    How do you arrange day care when you work 12 hr shifts?

    TazziRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Most times I dropped off Demon and Hubs or one of the teens picked her up. Before the teens moved in, if Hubs worked late then sometimes the daycare provider would keep her until I got home at 8, but...

    Help! Question about triple lumens...

    TazziRN replied to Atlnurstudt's topic in General Nursing

    Think about it this way: if the pt did not have a triple, but say had two periph lines, and you give incompatible drugs in the separate lines, they would also mix in the blood stream, no? Using that...

    The Best Foundation for Home Health

    TazziRN replied to doglover1's topic in Home Health

    HH in this area is hourly. Specializing in onc or ortho or anything like that will actually hinder you in HH because you will not have the skills to care for other problems. I suggest either medsurg...

    TazziRN replied to buff nurse's topic in General Nursing
