RN_2012

I would see if the doctor would schedule her medications. Maybe her daughter would allow meds given regular if the doctor ordered them that way.

If I was the manager that received the email, you would be called into the office and we would have had the talk about team playing...WOW.

No one is getting their RN or LPN completely on line.

My school in Kentucky had over 1200 applications for 120 spots and low GPA isn't going to cut it.

Entry to nursing school is not easy. It is highly competitive. Everyone in my class of 2012 had 4.0 GPA when accepted and it was a community college.

Are you for real??

He didn't want to be treated further because he is 87 years old most likely. Quality of life and all that.

Well, 50 is not old. I am 52 and have been an RN for 3 years. I work fine right along with the twenty something new grads..

I read it has him saying "you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.".

I hate poop....can I refuse to clean a patient up? Seriously..you can't just refuse to do your job. If the patient declines you to do it, that is different, but to straight out say, I don't do that....tells me you have issues.

I think you are protesting too much.

I had a nurse question my giving a pain med for a patients back pain. The patient was admitted for an skin infection and had a I&D. The other nurse felt that the pain medication should only be given for the pain related to the procedure.

Sure there are some that irk me, but they are what keep me working...small rural hospitals can't be too picky and keep census.

Telemetry is used on the OB unit at my small hospital if it is indicated and I would think in oncology as well if we had that type of unit.

I have a child on the autism spectrum with an IQ of 70, so on the cusp. If he had an average IQ he wuld be considered Aspergers, but he doesn't so he is PPD-NOS. I believe more children are diagnoses due to more information. My son wasn't diagnosed till 3rd grade after finally taking him to the Dan Marino center in Florida where we lived. It was at my insistence that he had more going on than ADHD, OCD, ODD, Anxiety disorder, speach/language delays. I did research on the internet that led me to getting him the proper evaluation. Support groups online has allowed parents to pick up on these issues more than in the past, educated parents seek proper diagnosis and are not put off to "oh this is just immaturity". I personally do not know anyone with an MR being given an autism diagnosis, two different things. People just don't say MR anymore anyway, I say LOW IQ or intellectual disability. I don't think any of it has anything to do with social status.

Seriously. My son with Autism doesn't need to recover, it isn't a death sentence. Measles can be a death sentence. You would rather a child risk death than risk autism, WHICH THEY WON'T AS THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM.

disregard

Nope. Not exhausted l the time.

You need to disclose it. If you do not and it shows up then there will be a problem.

I believe she is going to make a mistake and push for a stronger requirement by doing this. I would comply while working to change the restrictions.

My experience as an RN in nursing homes and now one in an acute care facility is those that are FULL codes are sent out when they are circling so the nursing home doesn't have to code them. I know I sent them out faster, then someone who had a DNR. DNR means I do not attempt to bring them back after they no longer have a pulse. If you are in respiratory failure with a DNR, you might still go out depending on the family and doctors wishes. A full code, is going out and not waiting for the in house doctor to get around to her/him.

DNR, to me, means nothing is done once they are no longer with a pulse. We have DNI or people who also do not want to be intubated, which is not the same as DNR. Some people are both DNR/DNI.

This is an image, it sure looks like it is outside or under a patio setting.

Also, prioritize your treatments. Wound care first, lotion for dry skin last.

How is the equipment used in dialysis terminally cleaned.
