  1. Have I lost my Mind?

    This is not meant to be a flame. I would not want you to be my nurse at the end of those long shifts. You need to stop this for the safety of your patients.
  2. Emotional day at work

    Yes, it gets easier. Providing good pallitative care can be very rewarding. You're actions can help ease the transition not only for the pt, but for the family. As far as being discouraged,...
  3. I just watched a hour long show calles nurses on discovery health channel. It mostly focused on NICU nurse. I cried while I was watching it. You guys are awesome. I can't praise you enough....

  5. Fran, what are the unusual symptons?
  6. what color are you as a nurse

    Depends on which of my personalities are controlling at the time:D
  7. This is exactly why I think PD pts should do their own exchanges while hospitalized if possible. I know if it were me I would.
  8. I Quit My Job Today! I'm so relieved!

    I am so glad you quit that job. You've posted so many entries about being unhappy there. If you are serious about a lawsuit, be very careful what you post. (((((((((Hugs)))))))))))))))) Good night,...
  9. In our area, it's not so much that new people are not wanting to enter nursing, it's the fact that they can't enter. Waiting lists are from 2-4 years to get into nursing schools in the area.
  10. Possessed Vehichles

    I hope today's better.
  11. Can LPN's take phone orders?

    Yes, LPN's can take phone orders in Ohio.
  12. CORRECTIONS I scare too easy and have too much imagination. I get scared even driving past a prison!
  13. meds w/o order

    "Just curious........ whats wrong with giving MOM to a dialysis patient?" Magnesium:D
  14. Hey Angelbear, If I'm remembering right you work in longterm care. The bottom line is yes you should have called the doc. Remeber no one can hurt you through a phone! We have all dealt with this...
  15. Just to make you smile

    He's a little scary!
  16. delemma in the ER..what would you do?

    Talk to your NM. The biggest thing you need to decide is: if you don't go to the ethics committee is it going to bother later? Can you live with not acting on this? How many problems do you think...

  18. :roll :roll :roll Very ironic eh?

  20. Touching Email

    I recieved this as an Email. I don't kn ow if it's a true story or not, but it's touching all the same. Noney One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class was walking home...
  21. 1st CODE.....

    Scary huh?? You called the code and got things going before we was asystole, that's great. It sounds like you are keeping on top of things.
  22. IV & Pic lines

    Stand your ground. If there were three RN's on duty plus another RN supervisor and they all claimed ignorance, I say an inservice is in order. Sounds like laziness on their behalf to me.
  23. Ethics Committees

    I'm curious, how much actual power does an athics commitee have?
  24. Neat story. Thanks for sharing.
  25. Goodbye My Friend....

    Have you shared this with her family? I'm sure they would like it. I know I do.
