  1. Guess what the ER doc did?

    Vito Andolini replied to dorie43rn's topic in Emergency

    OP, sorry for your troubles but I am wondering why you took your husband home if you thought it wrong to do so. I'm sure you've berated yourself plenty for that but I can't help but wonder. Yes,...

  2. Need help.. which job to chose! Need expert advice!!

    Vito Andolini replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Is the government entity actually hiring? Just curious. I think you should take that job and the doc's office job for now. You could recruit yourself later for MedSurg if you like, LOL, even get a...

  4. Does a nurse have the right to review her charting w/o violating HIPAA?

    Vito Andolini replied to 925_ER_RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's time for a review of your time there on that job and your relationship with that manager. It sounds like you are being invoted to leave. I think you need to get advice from a couple of...

  5. Never seen anything quite like it (the things visitors do...)

    Vito Andolini replied to NurseKatie08's topic in General Nursing

    i love your honesty about your feelings for him, lol. how did he "let" her od? see above in

  6. Never seen anything quite like it (the things visitors do...)

    Vito Andolini replied to NurseKatie08's topic in General Nursing

    It is not really necessary to keep an alarm going during the entire code, is it? Why do they keep it on for such a very long time? Somebody could seize from the repitition. (Is that spelled

  7. And I continue my rant of MAs pretending to be nurses..

    Vito Andolini replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    Start praying that the manager is removed from your life. Prisoners in Buchenwald and/or other concentration camps were harnessed like horses to pull heavy wagons. They were lashed during this...

  8. In need of advice- discrimination???

    Vito Andolini replied to 2010NewRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be so quick to decide that the student has absolutely no rights. There is, after all, some sort of contractual obligation on the part of both the facility and the school. And the school...

  9. In need of advice- discrimination???

    Vito Andolini replied to 2010NewRN's topic in General Nursing

    They have a right to boot him because he has some medical/psychiatric issue, even though he is a competent student? I doubt

  10. What would you change about Nursing to make it better?

    Vito Andolini replied to RNman09's topic in General Nursing

    I hear lots of frustration and anger in these replies, my brothers and sisters. Now, the next step is for each of us who has expressed our wish list to take the actions that will make our wishes...

  11. What would you change about Nursing to make it better?

    Vito Andolini replied to RNman09's topic in General Nursing

    If someone has earned various certifications and degrees and wants these on his badge, he is entitled to that, I believe. It's just that no one else knows what they mean! Cultural diversity is...

  12. Confusion About Morphine - Not Available?

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I should clarify. I meant morphine slow release for ambulatory patients. Doc said it was not available. I agree, he is wrong, as our pharmacy definitely has it, per the R. Ph saying so! Oxycontin...

  13. Confusion About Morphine - Not Available?

    Vito Andolini posted a topic in General Nursing

    Doc says he can no longer order MSO4, that it has been taken off the market. And so has oxycontin except as oxydone + acetaminophen, due to some lawsuit that started about 2 years ago. Pharmacist...

  14. An example of a terrifying moment

    Vito Andolini replied to richwv's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Terror would include: any adverse event while a patient is in your care. Malignant hyperthermia, cardiac arrest, anaphylaxis, wrong site surgery, surgeon impaired, earthquake or other serious...

  15. "Fired for NO Reason"

    Vito Andolini replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Great article. One thing, though - if, for example, the Instrutor says "You lack critical thinking skills", that is not enough. She needds to define "critical thinking skills" and tell how to get...

  16. In need of advice- discrimination???

    Vito Andolini replied to 2010NewRN's topic in General Nursing

    You've learned another hard lesson, James; betrayal; however innocently, you have been betrayed. Don't worry, it might look bleak now but I think you'll be fine. Just don't discuss your personal...

  17. In need of advice- discrimination???

    Vito Andolini replied to 2010NewRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I don't know why you would want to post such private matter on the web for all the world to see, and I hope you will never do that again, James. It's just not smart, as you can see. Next, I did...

  18. I hate this question...

    Vito Andolini replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    I'd be afraid you would stress too much and flip out if you felt disorganized too much for too long or too

  19. I hate this question...

    Vito Andolini replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    To the 2 people who use that question on interviews to see if people know and assess themselves realistically - why not just be more direct? Why intimidate the interviewee, who is already sweating...

  20. I hate this question...

    Vito Andolini replied to ONCRN84's topic in General Nursing

    The only acceptable answer is "I'm a workaholic". Do NOT, NOT, NOT go discussing your temper or your personal weaknesses, For God's sake!!! That is just nobody's business. "Oh, I just can't stay...

  21. Do it yourself chelation therapy

    Vito Andolini replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    The doc I worked for was not a yahoo. Would you say you have an open mind on this topic? Funny how life is very simple when one's mind is closed. Sorry if I am assuming incorrectly about you but I...

  22. Got fired... again. Should I not be a nurse?

    Vito Andolini replied to Sarah K, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I actually do have MS experience. I just don't think it is all that foundational. It's not a bad thing but it's not really necessary, either. It really depends on what type of nursing one wants to...

  23. Got fired... again. Should I not be a nurse?

    Vito Andolini replied to Sarah K, RN's topic in General Nursing

    :nurse:First, do not EVER give meds that someone else has set up. The nurse who opened them and signed them out should have stayed to give them, despite having been told to go home. I can't believe...

  24. Working triple shifts

    Vito Andolini replied to Aviationurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Is this a private facility? Do the owners know all of this? Has the Board of Directors been informed? What about the payors - CMS if any Medicare patients, other insurance companies? How about...

  25. Working triple shifts

    Vito Andolini replied to Aviationurse's topic in Psychiatric

    Lay low for a little while, stop complaining to or informing your boss - she already knows and wants to keep that sweet deal going. She will deny, of course, that you ever told her anything, like...
