    Speculating replied to vedm's topic in General Nursing

    Have you been dipping into the narc cabinet again? How new of a nurse are you that you can't handle five stable pts. You do know that you can't work for someone that you're suing. I'd be willing to...

  7. reconstitute antibiotics

    Speculating replied to rmn's topic in General Nursing

    rmn don't limit yourself. For something like an oral suspension question or just about anything else a pharmacist is a pharmacist and if you have nobody else to bounce it off of there is always a 24...

  8. reconstitute antibiotics

    Speculating replied to rmn's topic in General Nursing

    There's no reason at all you can't use tap water. It is going to end up in the stomach. There's nothing sterile about the gut. I don't think you would have to worry to much about the tap water being...

    Speculating replied to PaulG's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  12. Should I retake SCIENCES??

    Speculating replied to melrey11's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Most colleges have at least a minimum amount of online courses now days so I think your best bet would be trying the university you plan on attending your CRNA program at for that matter other schools...

  13. no time to eat/use bathroom?

    Speculating replied to prunepie's topic in General Nursing

  17. Wanting to be seen as an adult!!

    Speculating replied to emily_rn_03's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you SmilingBluEyes very well put. As hmccartn implied it's not meant in a demeaning way. I'm sure it's meant in an endearing way by no means is she trying to undermine you. The only thing I wish...

  18. insufficient care

    Speculating replied to pickledpepperRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How do they keep getting away with not providing 3.2 hours of direct care a day? And, providing anything short of that amount of care would almost be abandonment in my view. If you do the math with...

  19. Ever feel like a prostitute?

    Speculating replied to pinkscrubs's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's your license not theirs so if you feel uncomfortable about a seventh pt then just say NO WAY. They may not smile at you for a while but who cares. I've done it on more than one occasion when it...

  22. Is it appropriate for Risk Management to discipline?

    Speculating replied to iiwdn's topic in Legal

  23. Possible OD?

    Speculating replied to tiredfeetED's topic in Emergency

  24. medication and licensing

    Speculating replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    A Dr. can't forbid someone from going to school or doing anything for that matter. Maybe there is more to this OCD than OCD. I just can't see a Dr. or especially a psych Dr. telling someone they can't...

  25. Need help with all of your expert advice!!

    Speculating replied to lildebbie-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Why do they want to sue? Because you shouldn't get MRSA in the OR. It's a good thing they weren't doing open heart or a transplant otherwise she could be dead. From what I read this isn't MRSA in the...
