  1. Giving Insulin

    cannoli replied to SANDRA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Yes, a tb syringe would be best as far as accuracy, but how likely is it that a nurse on a home health visit would have a tb

  2. OSHA investigating killing of MD by patient at psych hospital

    cannoli replied to obeyacts2's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Interesting that nothing was done after the attacks on the nurses, only after the doctor was attacked and

  3. male versus female nursing wages?

    cannoli replied to hot_dude_Jim's topic in General Nursing

    As soon as you turn 40, everything starts falling apart,

  4. To give credit to the show ER (part 2)

    cannoli replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

  5. Bad Day at Work (rant, sorry)

    cannoli replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    You sound like a good, caring nurse. I can't believe they wanted you to work 24 hours (or I guess it would have been 40) without a break or be charged with abandonment, sounds like THEY need to be...

  6. nursing question

    cannoli replied to RRH's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital that I work at, has hired new grads for permanent days, so you might get lucky. I don't know the circumstances, but maybe they were clear that that was the only shift they could work, I...

  7. Giving Insulin

    cannoli replied to SANDRA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Insulin and Tb syringes are not interchangeable. I know of an instance where an LPN gave insulin in a TB syringe instead of an insulin syringe and the patient got about a ten-fold overdose. A lot of...

  8. May I ask a few questions?

    cannoli replied to angelbear's topic in Agency Nurses

    I've noticed that also, what you describe in the first paragraph, and because of it have refused to go back to a floor. As far as I'm concerned, they are just shooting themselves in the foot, though...

  9. Giving Insulin

    cannoli replied to SANDRA1's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    What size needle is on an insulin syringe? Is it a 25

  10. Best x-mas gift from your Manager

    cannoli replied to Guardian Angels's topic in General Nursing

    How about a pen on a rope? It's something everyone could

  11. unnerving experience last night

    cannoli replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    God bless you both. It was a good thing you were

  12. 24 hour urine....refrigerate it or not?

    cannoli replied to yogastudentRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the hospital, we always kept the jug on ice (in a basin of ice) in the patient's bathroom, the foley bag, if they had a foley was always in a basin of ice

  13. fractured ribs...any suggestions?

    cannoli replied to nursebear's topic in General Nursing

    Well, thanks for the info all. Something new every

  14. med error:

    cannoli replied to jenac's topic in General Nursing

    Insulin, cloudy versus clear, is obvious, but many instances are not. In many instances, there is no way one would know if a med was mislabeled, so many look alike, and what about the differences...

  15. fractured ribs...any suggestions?

    cannoli replied to nursebear's topic in General Nursing

    Did the doctor prescribe a rib belt?, or do they still use those anymore? Like a narrow binder which overlaps with velcro. Might help with stability and maybe lessen the discomfort. You might ask...

  16. Transporting Telemetry Patients off the unit

    cannoli replied to CV CNS CCRN's topic in Cardiac

    This doesn't make a lot of sense either, but at the hospital that I go to, I have seen patients sent for tests with the transporter only and no tele box, the staff takes it off before they go. There...

  17. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    cannoli replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    If you go back to that other thread, I posted once, very briefly. If you read it clearly you can see that others advocate diet and exercise as well, I was not the only one, and I am not the only one...

  18. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    cannoli replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't seem to be influencing anything. Tesslyn, you ask about hostility, in your first post you used the words "stupid" and "idiot", how's that for hostility? I am not narrow minded and mean. I do...

  19. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    cannoli replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Before you jump in with comments like that, try reading the previous posts, I have already addressed

  20. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    cannoli replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    No hostility here. I still say most people are obese because they take in more calories than they expend, it's a simple

  21. Beware Gastric Bypass with stapeling!

    cannoli replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you need to educate yourself as to why you overeat, and deal with

  22. What If I Had Gastic Bypass?

    cannoli replied to debralynn's topic in General Nursing

    I probably should stay out of this since I was attacked in a similar thread for advocating diet and

  23. Pt found dead!!!

    cannoli replied to glascow's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I know of this same type of thing happening about 15 years ago. I think the evening nurse had charted at 10:30 and then at 11:15 or so the night shift found the patient, he had tried to get out of...

  24. Dr's children at pts bedside

    cannoli replied to Stillanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I've heard of that, but never "Take your husband/wife to work day".

  25. Dr's children at pts bedside

    cannoli replied to Stillanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Bringing the husband to work is really strange and inappropriate, in my opinion. After being spoken to about it on several occasions why is it still happening or why is she still working there? I...
