   Actually most hospitals I have worked at (traveled med surg to 10 states) have policies for med administration, and administering the med at the closest available port to the patient is the standard...

2. Was I in the Right Here?

   DanidelionRN replied to Grande_latte04's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds like time for a new specialty. Are you interested in pursuing a job where you don't have 33pts?? Inpatient nursing, pacu, pre-op,clinics, public health, etc... Almost everything but long term...

3. Explaining Absence During Colleague's Vacation

   DanidelionRN replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

   Sounds to me like you're planning ahead to fail, instead of planning ahead to succeed. The only actually appropriate options are to resign and leave, which will probably screw over your coworker's...

4. Do nurses tend to be enablers?

   DanidelionRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

   I think that the nurse in the original post is not just an enabler, but she suffers from a lack of personal boundaries in her relationships. It probably exists in all her relationships,not just that...

6. How many med errors to lose your license?

   DanidelionRN replied to Bakingismylife's topic in General Nursing

   Not every error is automatically reported to the BON. Did your employer tell you they were reporting you? If it a grievous error, like something that has seriously harmed a patient, it probably...

7. "do not rehire" in nationwide HealthStream database

   DanidelionRN replied to seol4ly's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   HCA hospitals are some of the lousiest ones in the country, and they do DNR people for a variety of bogus reasons. It shouldn't affect you outside of their systems, but there is very little to nothing...

   My husband is 31, and has had a life full of injuries, culminating in a car wreck that has pretty much left him disabled from working. Unfortunately, he got to experience part of the problem with...

9. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

   DanidelionRN replied to FutureDNP2021's topic in General Nursing

   Very well stated. I worry about a hike like this because it essentially decreases my purchase power by about 40%, and it's not like insurance companies are going to pay hospitals more, or hospitals...

12. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    DanidelionRN replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    and you think that you have the right to demand answers from every caregiver you have, as to whether they own guns? I don't think so. You deal with people who have concealed carry weapons all the...

    DanidelionRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    You know, i lived on less than 8k a year for living expenses etc, when I was in college- it wasn't all that bad, especially if you divide out the cost of rent/utilities six ways, too. The problem with...
