  1. Covered Up a Narcotic Med Error

  2. Top Manhattan Hospital ER Physician Commits Suicide

  5. Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    When trully run as JCI accredited health provider, this won't happen. My heart goes to the patient.
  6. If that happens to me, a single upper cut at the jaw bone is the only proper answer. When all are tired not to eat up someone onboard.
  7. What's the nicest compliment you've gotten as a nurse?

    In my first 5 years working, words was coming while bathing a late 50s father with brain atrophy, "I wish I could take as a son in law". Found out his daughter had a beauty that was more than I deserve. 😁

  10. 1 year into nursing, still feel like things don't "click"

    Hei. You did fine. All I see were part of learning while doing job. There were times that we almost never see that we are doing things right when the progress isn't what we expected. Having co-workers or superior that commenting like they can do thin...
  11. Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    It raises a question on my side. It could probably be caused by the culture about patient safety hasn't yet well established in your department? Reporting error is a must. If you're then bullied yet the issued wasn't followed up then it is.
  12. CPR Universal Precautions

    I did several CPR with the presence of blood or vomited materials. My view, comply to standar precaution seemengly enough. ;-)

  15. The mean nurse coworker

    It is good to back off for a while. Take enough time to make more insight, then out to refresh our judgement. Who knows we gain better understanding of the drama. Based on my time in the past, if we good enough with the job, good means having most th...
  16. Do you like nursing?

    Here is mine. If asked for being "plainly" a nurse. No way. I initially tried to get rid of the profession by learning so many other things like English, computer programming, bussiness management, dress making, electronics, even carpentry. What happ...
  17. I am Afraid. Please Pray for Me.

    Great article. Helping me gainning more insight. Many nurses in my section have been in little conflict when in rush hours any patient or family ask for prayer companion. Not easily saying yes or even no.
  18. is 25-30 too late to want to pursue a nursing degree?

    Feel free to decide. The important thing is you like everything you choose to do. I see studying and learning with comfort is part of a happy day-to-day life. In your 22, the options wide opens.
  19. Can't We All Just Get Along?

    To the OP, well said. This kind of thing not limited to many threads I happened to read for references, but also happens in real nursing works situation. My simple thought is nurses by their work, facing so many cases that by "caring" principles sup...
  20. Some employers would see what you call as accommodation is more as privileges though it concerns about religion. If the scheduling system run into scrambled just to accommodate you then they inevitable have to do something about that might make you f...
  21. How did you handle your first patient dying?

    If you are asking it as the first time experience I think that was completely OK with you. Though professsional bonding only allow us up to having emphaty, but everyone always have a starting point in which turn out to be a good chance to make better...
  22. My appearance being an issue

    It's God given gift not everyone have. Go forward with it. If you find others have problem with it, that will be theirs, certainly not yours. :) Good luck with that.

    A potential for bringing up sexual content into work circumstances is actually exist. Just like a dormant germs in our body. But it will never come into actual scene if each of us is not in the line of entertaining it. One might start but as long as ...
