  2. Hugs to you floor nurses

    NightNurseRN replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

  3. Hugs to you floor nurses

    NightNurseRN replied to frann's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Nurses are human just as are patients, sometimes we can only take so much. We need to have sympathy for each other just as much as our patients. Maybe you are having a bad dad Sarjasy, is there...

  4. Do you write up med errors?

    NightNurseRN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion though, a PRUDENT nurse would question not giving potassium to someone with a potassium of 2.8. I would have called the MD and got the route switched to IV. Seems like she was being...

  5. Do you write up med errors?

    NightNurseRN replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I write myself up if I catch any med error I've made. Our hospital has a "blame-free" policy which means usually there is an error some where in the "system", as opposed to the nurse themselves....

    I am just curious about when someone says they were "a nurse in mexico many years ago", how is that compared to a nurse here? The person who said this to me is a home health AIDE here. She sometimes...

  14. Curious about nursing in Mexico

    NightNurseRN replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is not what I meant. This particular person definately does not know a lot. I was wondering I guess if being a say LVN in Mexico 30 years ago, is equal to being and LVN in the U.S.

  20. time-off to raise children

    NightNurseRN replied to adpiRN's topic in General Nursing
