    Agnus replied to OCCHCanada's topic in General Nursing

  5. Consents

    Agnus replied to ChicagolandRN's topic in General Nursing

    Legally it is the person doing the procedure that is responsible for informing the patient. (so if it is a nurse who actually does it then it falls on that nurse) It is assumed the pt. is fully...

  10. Very frightening website

    Agnus replied to justjenny's topic in General Nursing

  11. what do you recommend?

    Agnus replied to NursePru's topic in General Nursing

  16. "Toto, we're not in Kansas anymore!"

    Agnus replied to Tiki_Torch's topic in General Nursing

    Prefer BSN and require BSN are not the same thing. I would consider applying now. Magnet status says that most of thier nurses [a certain % have to be BSN ] That does not mean they only hire...

  17. QMA directed to write orders

    Agnus replied to nurse62's topic in General Nursing

  20. Nurses, Would you go into nursing if you had to do it all over again?

    Agnus replied to 4everpeace's topic in General Nursing

    How is it wasted if it is time for you to move on? Seem to me a bigger waste to stay in a profession you no longer love and are becoming bitter about and therefore have your bitterness spill over onto...

  21. Nurses Who Kill

    Agnus replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    We don't see "killer carpenter" for two reasons. When a carpenter kills it is unsually not related to being a caprenter. That is not to say in a situation where his act was related to being a...

  22. Nurses Who Kill

    Agnus replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

  25. Pain Medicine for a dying patient ...

    Agnus replied to Tweety's topic in Pain Management

    The disease is killing the patient. Reguardless they are entitled to pain relief. Morphine is not the killer we give it credit for, if used correctly. If the patient is termainal and in pain it...
