    dizzyray822 replied to drgnflydggr's topic in General Nursing

    dizzyray822 replied to cwgirl7's topic in General Students

    I think the advice of documenting everything is good advice. There has to be an appeal process or something. I just dont understand how an error (unless it harmed the patient) would have you...

    dizzyray822 replied to Neldavi's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in my last semester of nursing school to be an RN and I think what you're feeling is completely normal. My first couple of clinicals were just horrifying to me. I had not the slightest idea of...

    dizzyray822 replied to Nurse-JP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I don't have any legal input at all but wish you the best and lots of courage. As my mother had a bad addiction I know it took a lot to realize you had a problem and get help. Good

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    its not just handwashing i'm talking about. it's further than that...way further as my different posts have gone into further detail. i wouldn't feel comfortable as a student going up to him about...

  16. No gloves ever?!?

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    as a student i must be careful what i say, hence discussing it with my instructor and not him. with due respect my age has nothing to do with this and i never claimed to know it all. i'm learning day...

  17. No gloves ever?!?

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  19. No gloves ever?!?

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  20. No gloves ever?!?

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  21. No gloves ever?!?

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    In my opinion it's your option to put yourself at risk BUT it's not the patients. They should feel they are receiving safe care. Maybe you wash well between patients but this nurse didn't. If I were...

  22. No gloves ever?!?

    dizzyray822 replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    dizzyray822 replied to eriksoln's topic in Activism, Healthcare
