    Is this possible?

    TazziRN replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Um.......pseudoephedrine toxicity? How can that be an accident? The crack I can see, but someone had to give her the cold med, so obviously the parent was too stoned to read the

    Do you discuss lab results/x-ray or other test results with patients?

    TazziRN replied to KyPinkRN's topic in General Nursing

    But this is different. NPs are treating providers and are allowed, in their scope, to interpret results and treat accordingly. Staff RNs, however, are not supposed to interpret. We have to know the...

    Is this possible?

    TazziRN replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    It is possible, but unlikely. She would have had to be in an enclosed room with several smokers for a period of time for that to happen. What she could do is request a gas chromo, to determine how...

    cna's doing dressings??

    TazziRN replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    Meds: why did the CNA have access to that BP pill? When you left the room it should have been in your possession still. This was very wrong on her part, but if anyone were to write her up for it, you...

    Question for Female Nurses

    TazziRN replied to keaton90's topic in General Nursing

    Rotating Shifts??

    TazziRN replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    It means that you'll work all shifts, not be assigned to a particular one. Some facilities have all their nurses work rotating shifts......a block of time on days, then nights,

    Question for Female Nurses

    TazziRN replied to keaton90's topic in General Nursing

    The first time around I married an RT. Disaster, in every sense of the word. The only things we had to talk about were work related. Second time around I married a grocery store clerk. Granted, I'm...

    quick question about state approval

    TazziRN replied to anatomyisfun's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like they may have gotten in trouble and if they make one more wrong move the approval goes away? One of our local nursing programs is provisional right

    Personal emergency...forget how to be a nurse?

    TazziRN replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I was an ER nurse and could work blindfolded. When my brother was in the ICU with a CHI, my dad asked me what all the equipment readings meant. Everything I knew had flown out of my head, I knew...

    TazziRN replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you, a lot of us here have noncompliant relatives and friends. Unfortunately, there isn't anything you can do except be there if and when she's ready to change. She has to want to do it,...

    clinicals

    TazziRN replied to orange_sky's topic in General Nursing

    It's easier in that you don't have your instructor hanging on your every word, ready to flunk you if you mispronounce something, but it's harder because you don't have your instructor holding you

    HIPAA and ROI policies

    TazziRN replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    Our local hospital has a numerical code that each inpt is assigned, it's printed on their name bands. Callers have to give that number before staff will talk to them, no ifs ands or buts. What we did...

    It's exactly what you just described. It is good in the group of states that agree to "share" licensing. If you go from one compact state to another you do not have to apply for a license in that...

    Career ending mistakes?

    TazziRN replied to emsillystudent's topic in General Nursing

    I read your entire post and focused in on the part about insurance. Hospitals will tell you that but don't believe them. At all. They will indeed represent you if ever hit with a lawsuit, but the...
