    miss81 replied to foreverLaur's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    miss81 replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    We just automatically flush saline locks, no order needed. We also flush CVP's with hepaline after it is inserted twice/day. It's policy, and if we had to wait for the docs to write orders for all...

  9. Will the nursing shortage ever end?

    miss81 replied to hopeless romantic's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I am in Canada. I guess that's my point. Different regions = different job situations. We recently worked in Florida, we moved there last year after working here for almost 10 years (we wanted a...

  12. BBB and ST elevation after pacer insertion...

    miss81 replied to miss81's topic in General Nursing

  14. BBB and ST elevation after pacer insertion...

    miss81 replied to miss81's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys! Now, if the pt's not wearing the sling, and you think the pacer may have shifted, I'd call and get the MD to order a CXR on those grounds -- pt movement may have dislodged leads. On...

  15. Report without Orders?

    miss81 replied to missbutton's topic in General Nursing

  17. Professional dilemma

    miss81 replied to gdc67's topic in United Kingdom

    Are you an RN? LPN or a tech? I don't understand how you can be a Registered Nurse and not give IV meds. Pulling a doc out for the OR to give an IV med seems crazy to me. You say the nurse next to you...

  18. How are things normally handled when census is low?

    miss81 replied to Mia_2011's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work they can't "call us off." They either float us to another unit to help or offer vacation leave to people who want it, so they are still paid. Otherwise, we work with an extra nurse on the...

  20. What color Littman Classic II SE stethoscope do you have?

    miss81 replied to KGMM's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Mines a Lilac color, so it's pretty recognizable. I'm a float nurse so I leave it all over the place and someone usually finds it and emails me to tell me that I left it there. Once, a nurse found it...

  21. Where are nursing jobs?

    miss81 replied to Karl Farmer's topic in General Nursing

    I wasn't thinking that you were looking for a place to drink and drive:) We all make mistakes, live and learn from them! Well, 5 years is not that long of a time, keep the north in mind! Good luck...

  24. white underwear under white scrub bottoms?

    miss81 replied to ashleymarie23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Wow... I can't believe Universities are dictating what UNDERWEAR you wear! My program was NEVER like that. I mean, I can understand them being upset if you came in with green with purple poke-a-dots...

    miss81 replied to Luularoo's topic in General Nursing
