  1. Getting stuck

    Agnus replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

  4. Getting stuck

    Agnus replied to AmyRN1227's topic in General Nursing

    It seems like a PIA but fill out the incident report. NEVER let someone cause you not to fill one out. Yea, it is up to you. However, a responsible charge nurse would have encouraged you to fill...

    Agnus replied to proud2bme's topic in General Nursing

    Chewing gum, I learned a few years ago is actually rubber!!! So it is a protien substance. It is not digestable by humans and will pass through the GI system like any other indegestible bulk...

  12. Nurses and their sense of humour

    Agnus replied to Patience911's topic in General Nursing

    Now I thought the hamster one funny the second one too but I can see how someone could be offended by the second one. Our humor keeps up sane in insane and horrible situations. However, I have to...

  18. Straight pay for 12 hour shifts?

    Agnus replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    Again the facility policies cannot over ride what the state's labor laws say. So if your facility operates a certain way it must do so within the confines of the state labor regulations. In NV OT...

  19. what does TID mean?

    Agnus replied to thisnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Three times a day. Check your facilities policy as they may specify certain times of day to do a TID med or procedure. I personally would not wake a patient in the middle of the night to do a...

  20. Straight pay for 12 hour shifts?

    Agnus replied to susanmary's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on your state's labor laws. Some make a provision for 12 hour shifts, (especially health care,) to be treated as straight time. A call to your state labor board or Dept. Labor should...
