    voraciousj replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    I too was in the military and it surprises the heck outta me to see the amount of "adults" who run crying to the manager every time something happens that they don't like. I'm used to a culture of not...

    voraciousj replied to itsmejuli's topic in General Nursing

    voraciousj replied to honeymist's topic in General Nursing

  10. I'm guilty. It's about the condom catheter

    voraciousj replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    voraciousj replied to shbryer's topic in General Nursing

    So what happens if you are at home, off duty and your phone is turned off? Or you're away from it and don't receive an important test regarding orders? Who is at fault then for a bad outcome? That is...

  18. Wearing Gloves When Taking Vital Signs?

    voraciousj replied to student1000's topic in Emergency

    voraciousj posted a topic in General Nursing

  21. Albuterol and CHF

    voraciousj replied to voraciousj's topic in General Nursing

  22. Albuterol and CHF

    voraciousj replied to voraciousj's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I thought....but then another RN on the floor flipped out when respiratory came up and gave their pt an albuterol treatment. That RN said that now his pt was going to have "all sorts of...
