  4. Blanket warmers

    justiceforjoy replied to biker momma's topic in Emergency

    Judging from the responses, you might want to clarify if you mean a warming cupboard or an electric

  5. Correct way to give IM injections?

    justiceforjoy replied to Black Jade's topic in Patient Medications

    I think we an all agree that they have to be darted in. The "slow" they're referring to is the injection rate of the medication, not the speed at which the needle goes

  6. What is happening in your hospital? Not using N95 mask, NO screening for H1N1 ,

    justiceforjoy replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thanks! I appreciate that

  7. What is happening in your hospital? Not using N95 mask, NO screening for H1N1 ,

    justiceforjoy replied to JobsearchingRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I thought the flu (all flues) were droplet, not respiratory? Mask with eye shield, not

  8. Anyone here bulk up to become a better nurse?

    justiceforjoy replied to AcousticFoodie's topic in General Nursing

    I lift weights and run as often as I can in the week. When I don't have access to the gym, I use the P90x system... I just get bored of it pretty quick. Starting strength is

  9. Correct way to give IM injections?

    justiceforjoy replied to Black Jade's topic in Patient Medications

    I was taught 10 seconds per mL and two hands for stabilizing. Also, always landmark. I see them on TV not land marking properly and it makes me

  10. Colleges spitting out new nurse without any training?

    justiceforjoy replied to fulzgold's topic in General Nursing

    It's the Internet -- no one

  11. No nursing jobs in 2012 ???

    justiceforjoy replied to rawoysteraddict's topic in General Nursing

    LPNs start at around $23.50/hr here in BC, Canada with benefits. I forget what the RN starting wage is, but the max is $40.00/hour with benefits. LPNs got fully screwed over a few years back when our...

  12. HIPAA VIOLATION!

    justiceforjoy replied to mehart2001's topic in General Nursing

    ^ wouldn't it be something else if it was actually hers: the paper and the meds. But she had just completely forgotten about them?

  13. Do you actually wear gloves/gowns/masks ?

    justiceforjoy replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely refuse to work with patients with precautions if my workplace didn't appropriately supply me with protective gear. That's just unacceptable. To whomever was asking about shoes:...

  14. My pt accused my coworker of taking her Percocets! (long)

    justiceforjoy replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't find it insulting unless I was guilty. I think a few of you are far too judgmental towards drug addicts and need to take a step back. A few of you could also re-educate yourselves about...

  15. Gloves and injections

    justiceforjoy replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

    Gloves. Universal precautions just like the above poster said. I use hand sanitizer before I come into a room and after I leave the room - then try to find the nearest sink to wash my hands in. MRSA...

  16. 3pm-11pm or 11pm-7am? Which one??? HELP

    justiceforjoy replied to xooxhjlxoox's topic in General Nursing

    I prefer 11 PM - 7 AM myself. Only because I never see my daughter during the other shift and it breaks my heart. 11 PM - 7 AM includes hourly rounds where I am. Changing over the MARs, main cupboard...

  17. Donating blood- is it safe ?

    justiceforjoy replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for letting us know that companies back in the 1940's descriminated against different races. Are you for real? I refuse to believe you're not trolling. You wrote so much in your posts, yet...

  18. my ex made a false report to JCAHO

    justiceforjoy replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    Complete defamation of character. Since the complaint was anonymous, I don't think a lawyer could take court action, however, having a lawyer send him a letter about you willing to take legal action...

  19. Nurses with Hep C

    justiceforjoy replied to flygirl43's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify before someone gets the wrong impression -- toothbrushes can have blood on them from brushing too hard or from mini sores in the mouth. Hep C can then survive through the harshness of our...

  20. Nurses with Hep C

    justiceforjoy replied to flygirl43's topic in General Nursing

    Your employer is WAY out of line... They need a crash course in Hep c. They're obviously quite ignorant about the virus. I'm sorry for your diagnosis! Hep C can stick around for decades without any...

  21. Lost a good friend to Huntington's Disease....

    justiceforjoy replied to NYRN08's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she would have wanted anything more than that. Remember the good past that you guys did have together, don't mourn the past you didn't have with could have, should have, would

  22. How likely is it as a new nursing grad I'd have to work nights?

    justiceforjoy replied to honeymist's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind nights. You'll learn to love

  23. Donating blood- is it safe ?

    justiceforjoy replied to bowser301's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe a nurse would advocate against donating blood. Good

  24. Poor spelling in charting

    justiceforjoy replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    Worst I've come across is "pt. c/o soar throat." D: We all make errors in charting. I try to have good grammar and am usually really good with my spelling, but I'll re-read my charting and think...

  25. Nurse Manager threatening to report me to BRN...

    justiceforjoy replied to Cosper123's topic in General Nursing

    It (his sleeping) doesn't effect your own job, so why on earth would BRN care? It's not your job to write it out. If your manager is going to be like that now, I'd hate to see how she acts towards...
