  1. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    i think you need a soapbox and a protest sign....but let's look at what you are saying. for all i know, maybe they did obtain consents. do you think they would refuse medical tx because they didn't...

  2. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    Kanzi, Asking me if I think because medical students did it as well, does that justify it?, assumes that I feel the practice is wrong. I do not. And ethics professors do not teach you which ethics...

  3. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that offended you. It is one of the top colleges and medical centers in the nation. And it was not just the nurses, but the medical students who did this...routinely. I'd assume that there...

  4. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Some interesting facts from that study: --Chemically dependent nurses usually work for several years before undergoing disciplinary action. --Drug related violations represent 25% of all violations...

    I never said they aren't entitled to lunch.....Do you not try to stabilize your load before passing it over to someone to cover

  6. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I fail to see how a single dose vial would eliminate the problem if the nurse used the needle on him/herself, refilled the syringe with saline, and then used it on the patient. And even if it was...

  7. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    1. wow, congrats on 34 years! 2. I am just trying to think of a solution - Some people (not you, but just saying) will complain, but me, my mind jumps to how do we provide a fix? This fix not only...

  8. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Gitano, You are very smart and perceptive, and I'm glad you weighed in on this discussion. I hear what you are saying....so let's say this fictional (for now) Pain management team takes over all the...

  9. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Had another thought that related to this......What about those nanny surveliance systems? Everyday, another babysitter is caught abusing a child, and it's all caught on the nanny-cam. Concrete...

  10. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I just want to add, what is the difference of protecting all that EMR data from protecting video data?

  11. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Remember in 20 years that you said this. :rotfl: You may be young, but I am old, and I remember black and white TV. Video conferencing was thought to be a space aged idea and none of us ever thought...

  12. California RN-staffing ratio law is threatened. See letter to legislators.

    PrimaFacie replied to scecile's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    this article title (and the letter) is misleading. the letter is addressing only the time that nurses are taking a break. "the proposed budget language to suspend the nurse-to-patient ratios for...

  13. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well of course that is very true, but the films could be protected as well, and only reviewed when there is need for an investigation. I'm sure it wouldn't be a simple thing to implement, or...

  14. Exeter Hospital employee led to an outbreak of hepatitis C

    PrimaFacie replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    For how long have stores had surveillance cameras all over the place to pick up shoplifting? Aren't there enough mysteries in the hospital that maybe it's about time to put cameras up all over the...

  15. New job, im excited, but he's not!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to ronda919's topic in Correctional

    Your second post definitely clarified that you were not job hopping, thanks for clearing that up. Well, you know, you sound so psyched to do the corrections job, if you didn't do it now, you would...

  16. New job, im excited, but he's not!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to ronda919's topic in Correctional

    Why do you have 3 job changes since January? I think you need to evaluate this. It wont go over well on a resume later on. Before you were a nurse, did you change jobs frequently? 1. Clinic work...

  17. ZOMBIE

    PrimaFacie replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was in exactly the same situation about 10 years ago, but then I lucked into a position where we did 7 on / 7 off (7 days/nights on and 7 days/nights straight off). While doing the 7 on, it is...

  18. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    Truly, 1 week? That is astounding. I know someone who just took a 6 month course for phlebotomy. They have all sorts of training in anatomy and stuff, and I can not say with any qualification if it...

    - The reference to the O2 tank, is from a different thread, yesterday I believe, here on these boards. I didn't say it was your post. - YMMV: Your mileage may vary...meaning your experience may...

    PrimaFacie replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    No fairy tales here. I didn't say I have never seen an unruly visitor. I'm saying that the majority are not....and for the majority who may make the job a tad inconvenient, they shouldn't be the...

    PrimaFacie replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    No, not insulting. I call it as I see it, and more often than not, people are unable to see the hostility in their disregard for pts, families, etc. You have a right to your feelings ofc, but let's...

  22. If you could post your own...

    PrimaFacie replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    i suppose you prefer your patients alone and quietly behaving in their beds, so they are not troublesome? i see each of your comments as hostile, except for the ones about visitors taking food from...

  23. Never placed an IV!!!!!

    PrimaFacie replied to LoriZ342's topic in General Nursing

    This goes way beyond the lack of skill in IV starts. The fact that so many have said they didn't learn these basic nursing skills, makes me worry what else you didn't learn. You can learn IV skills...

    PrimaFacie replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    How exactly do visitors interfere with your job as a nurse? I do agree that little children have no business running about in a hospital, but as for adult visitors, its quite different. - Visitors...
