Has anyone received tax information? I know I need to report it as incoming, and Im thinking we may even get some of the taxes back......but I havent received that information from HRSA yet. Anyone receive anything in mail or can tell me where to get it? Thanks

Soooo I was thinking, For those of us that received letters or found put we will be receiving them soon, is there another thread where we can discuss things like what we will do from here. I'd just like to hear ideas about how ppl are applying their loans (ie: spreading it out or targetting a specific loan) and ideas about taxes, and applying for a third year of funding, etc.

We use it with DKA patients and run it with insulin drips. Helps prevent their sugar from dropping and helps with metabolic swing. Also used with some diabetics if potassium levels are off.

I recently took over the position of Primary charge nurse on telemetry floor. I am looking for a way to streamline our charge nurse reports. As it is currently, our charge nurse for each shift fills out a form which is printed from Meditech. The form simply states the name, room #, age, and diagnosis and then the charge nurse handwrites in relevent patient information in for each patient. The nurses typically include things like, IVF, any drips, A&O, confused, restraints, any consults/tests ordered for the upcoming shift, etc. I have discussed this form with our new director and she has suggested up making up a spreadsheet (possibly in excel) where information can be more in a 'checklist' form and could be copied and pasted from shift to shift if remains pertinent. I'm looking for ideas, suggestions, or examples of forms used at other places. The way we do it now is quite time consuming! Thanks!! :hotchocolate:

National averages show that 60% of nurses have colonized MRSA in their nares. The percentage goes up to 90% if theyve been working in a critical care area for several years. When this was first discovered there was mandating for nurses to use bactriban cream in their nares..this is no longer carried out in most facilities

I'm currently at work and me and some of my night-shift colleagues have a question re: MRSA prevention techniques. First off, note that we are all very used to the idea that we most likely do have MRSA in our nares and so this is not a response to this years 'MRSA scares'. Several of us, including myself, do have young babies at home. My question is: If I am part of the large percentage of nurses who are positive for MRSA in my nares, how can I stop the spread of it to my 5 month old baby. I am very big on prevention and I shower as soon as I walk in the house, before she ever sees me.....but, as babies do, she often gives me 'kisses' and slobbers on my face and grabs my nose with her little fingers :heartbeat....and I love that time with her...but it does lead me to concerns of her contacting MRSA from my nares....... I know babies are more susceptible............. Any info/ prevention ideas/ ways to eradicate it from my nares? I do typically use a saline nasal flush when I get home........any news if that helps?
