  1. Death....by cheese

    RN1982 replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    How dare you give a dying patient some cheese? Just kidding. What do people expect when they sign their family members for hospice. Isn't the whole premise of hospice to die with dignity? Listen...

  2. Question regarding Medical Progressive Care units

    RN1982 replied to randygw's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals have wage differentials based on the shift being worked, not so much the unit that the nurses are working

  3. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    RN1982 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think the problem was the signing of the order, I think it had more to do with the actual order itself. It seems that the doc wouldn't sign the order because he didn't order it in the first...

  4. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    RN1982 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused also. I thought the doc ordered a Dilaudid PCA. How did IVP Dilaudid get ordered? Did you get a verbal order from a doc? Or did you write the order assuming the doc would sign off on it?...

    RN1982 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would look into finding another job also. This place seems unsafe...for

  6. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    RN1982 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Vito. Do not medicate a patient without an order signed by the physican. Saves you a lot of hassle. Saves your butt. Saves your license. This is a very important lesson that you have...

  7. I Need Advice - MD Not Signing Order

    RN1982 replied to Andrew, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Playing Satan's advocate but if you didn't have written orders from the doc, but medicated the patient anyways, that can be construed as "practicing outside your scope". Also, I would like you to...

  8. My God, these family members!!

    RN1982 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    God forbid we say that, we'd all be in the manager's office with a write-up in our files. I just don't care. If a family is acting totally out of line, I'm gonna say what I need to

  9. My God, these family members!!

    RN1982 replied to SoundofMusic's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have at times told family members that "That's not what I'm here for." for some of the ridiculous things that they ask. I had a family member ask for some soda, I said "For you or the...

  11. hfh vs beaumont

    RN1982 replied to jeffrey01's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well, I believe that Beaumont didn't give out a raise this year either if that helps. When I left Beaumont for HFH, I started off at a 1.5 less than what I made at Beaumont but was given a raise 3...

  14. SNOTTY MA claiming to be a nurse!!!!

    RN1982 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to get over it. CMAs are NOT LPNs. Those job posts are just stating that they would take a CMA or a LPN. The two jobs are not the

  15. A nurse should have at least 5 years exp before NP school

    RN1982 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    She counted school as experience? THat's laughable and scary. I agree with you though. I'm also big into the natural childbirth and midwfe thing too so I feel the same way you do about someone with...

  16. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    RN1982 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Muslim nurses and doctors CAN care for male patients. I happen to live in an area of Michigan where there is a predominantly large population of Middle Eastern citizens and have worked alongside many...

  17. SNOTTY MA claiming to be a nurse!!!!

    RN1982 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of how much clinical time you had, your education was quite different from that of an LPN or RN. The practice of an LPN and an RN are quite different than an MAs practice. LPN and MA are...

  18. SNOTTY MA claiming to be a nurse!!!!

    RN1982 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care what kind of education an MA gets but it doesn't even come close to the education an LPN or RN receive. MAs don't have to take A/P, patho and chemistry like most LPN programs require...

  20. What do nurses need to know when someone has septic shock?

    RN1982 replied to Tamch's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You have a textbook, use it. Stop thinking that if you post your question here, you can get all your answers from us. We will help you but not help you cheat and take the easy way out. It's called...
