  1. Legitimate IM Sites

    aeauooo replied to Turd.Ferguson's topic in General Nursing

    BCG is given intradermally - usually over the right deltoid, but I've been told that it is given over the buttock in some countries. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00041047.htm Inadvertent...

  2. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Another thing to consider is that large-scale disasters are on-going events. If someone can't come in for 8, 12, 24, or 48 hours, there's still going to be work that needs to be done and a lot of...

  3. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    If I were a DON... I'm not sure I'd want to hear the excuse anyway. "Can you come in?" Yes or no. "Thanks, try to come in when you can." Next call. I look at it this way; I'm walking down the street....

  4. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Which is precisely why I wouldn't offer an 'excuse' in the first place. Regardless of the reason, it's my decision whether or not I can come in to work, and I expect my employer to respect my automony...

  5. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I think most of us would feel obliged to work (in some capacity - not necessarily at our place of employment) in the event of a humanitarian emergency. I think most of us agree that coming into...

  7. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    give me a little credit - i am a responsible adult. the agreement i made with my manager when she hired me was that i'd work every saturday so i didn't have to work every other sunday. none of my...

  8. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's important to have a clear understanding of one's priorities. There are a lot of things in my life that come before work. This isn't to say that just because one comes before the other,...

  9. where do you get your continuing education?

    aeauooo replied to mp2100's topic in General Nursing

    I have to have 100 hours of CE every five years to maintain my neuroscience certification, 50 of those hours must be in neuroscience nursing, which can be difficult to find and expensive. I go to at...

  10. Sepsis Sleuth

    aeauooo replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Talk to your charge nurse and/or nursing supervisor. Report all of the signs of sepsis to the physician - not just the fact that the patient is hypotensive and tachycardic, but what symptoms s/he has...

  11. "fan out and go" + alchohol

    aeauooo replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think anyone is entitled to a reason, or an excuse, for why you can't come in to work - disaster or not. For the sake of an example, let me list my priorities in order: 1. God - I don't...

  12. doctors without borders

    aeauooo replied to jojo19's topic in General Nursing

    I interviewed with MSF about 10 years ago before I had any tropical medicine training. I never heard back from the recruiter, but a couple of years later, after I had completed a diploma in tropical...

  13. nurse strikes

    aeauooo replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    In general, when nurses strike, they are trying to improve their situation. Me-Me, The point is that nurses strike for a reason, or for many reasons. When you break a strike you are placing the...

  14. Career ending mistakes?

    aeauooo replied to emsillystudent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone suggested that "you can't lose a license" for an error or an accident - you certainly can. There are two points to be made here; The first is that for someone to sue a nurse, that...

  15. Cell Phones & Tumors

    aeauooo replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

    True, and even if there is a 'statistically significant" association, that doesn't necessarily mean it's clinically significant. I did an Ovid search on the combination of the terms 'cell phone' and...

  16. nurse strikes

    aeauooo replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    Zenman, I'm not sure what "blanket statement" I made to which you responded. Me_Me: Your moniker is appropriate. I have no idea what you are responding to, but it has nothing to do with the point I've...

  17. Cell Phones & Tumors

    aeauooo replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

    I've read the abstracts of some of those studies and as far as I can tell, the associations between cell phone use and malignancies do not demonstrate a causal relationship. I didn't look, but I'll...

  18. Cva

    aeauooo replied to labrador4122's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen coffee consumption named as a risk factor for stroke. Good thing too. It's an essential nutrient as far as I'm concerned! Here's the best source of information about stroke on the web...

  19. Chiari malformation....

    aeauooo replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing

    Type I or Type II? It's been a very long time since I've cared for someone s/p Chiari malformation release, but as I recall, they usually do very well. I suspect that your most serious post-op...

    Be happy then, but others in our profession may find your mercenary attitude

  21. online mph programs

    aeauooo replied to sincere1782's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently working on a MPH & TM (tropical medicine) at Tulane. The Environmental Health Sciences department of the School of Public Health offers a couple of distance learning degrees. The...

  22. It's 6:59!!! For pity's sake!

    aeauooo replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not saying this to be rude or superior, this is an observation that I think you should note; There are some exceptions, but it looks to me as if most of the people on this thread who say they feel...

  23. nurse strikes

    aeauooo replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    No, I think you're failing to considering the sacrifice of lost income for the striking nurses. Deflection. The quality of care you give is not the issue. That's

  24. It's 6:59!!! For pity's sake!

    aeauooo replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! I've heard a number of nurse managers tell staff that staying over is not appropriate (I think the basis is that they don't want to pay overtime). I agree, it sets a bad precedent. There...

    aeauooo replied to NsgChica's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work with a couple of nurses who went down to California to play nurses on an episode of 'ER.' One of them got hired on as a consultant. Interestingly enough, there was an episode in which a...
