  1. Yale Nurse Replaces Fentanyl Vials with Saline

    IKnowYouRider replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I know the quality isn't consistent, but it seems much simpler to just score on the street than to mess with stuff at

  2. Barriers to SNF and ALF improvements

    IKnowYouRider posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think the title speaks for itself...but I'll try to elaborate. It would be difficult to find any nurse who would argue against the notion that the status quo of doing business in SNF/ALF facilities...

  3. Barriers to SNF and ALF improvements

    IKnowYouRider replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have this idea in my head that I can't shake -- the best way to explain it is an integrated, partially self-sustained living community. Some features include a 'town hall' area for small live music...

  4. Barriers to SNF and ALF improvements

    IKnowYouRider replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Can you explain the "percent of profit allowed to be earned?" Does this mean that nurses, CNA, etcs don't receive fair compensation based on the amount of money brought

  5. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    IKnowYouRider posted a topic in Government, Military

    Is this torture? I would have to think so, especially since many of the prisoners being held there have not been convicted of a crime. Every time the media covers this story, it's always a nurse...

  6. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    IKnowYouRider replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

    Hahaha, you'd be right. I have not been very active over the years. You say 'the military doesn't need you'...okay, like I agree, they don't need me as an individual, but as a whole, they require the...

  7. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    IKnowYouRider replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

    I'd also feel differently after I realized that the reasoning behind bombing and invading such people is complete fiction. I'd wonder, "Why have I signed up to participate in sanctioned murder...

  9. Assessing the student on drugs

    IKnowYouRider replied to cjl_RN's topic in School

    I think it's difficult to assess students while on drugs, especially when the amphetamine causes my penlight to shake. Wait...what are we assessing for

  10. I am new to nursing but I don't want to do this anymore

    IKnowYouRider replied to newgradkat's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Whoa, whoa, whoa... You have to take it easy there! You mentioned "even though the most patients I've had is 5"...do you understand how crazy it is you're even able to do that? Taking care of five...

  11. 6 years and I'm nearly ready to 'retire'.

    IKnowYouRider posted a topic in Nursing Career

    I've been a nurse for 6 years. Three years LTAC, three years IMCU. I have a strong work ethic, and really commit myself to serving my patients for the 12.5 hours I'm at work. When I start my day, I...

  12. Giving OTC medications to your aides/coworkers?

    IKnowYouRider replied to knotizer12's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Then don't give out OTC to co-workers if you don't want to. Are you being harassed for not giving out OTC meds? If not I really don't understand the issue

  13. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    IKnowYouRider replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

    @wtbcrna: You're right, only the nurses who have been to Guantanamo are able to question the ethical nature of force feeding prisoners. Also, civilians who have chose not to serve in the military...

  14. 'Force feeding' at Guantanamo

    IKnowYouRider replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Government, Military

    Unlike the poetic post below by ckh23, I can respect your answer even though I disagree on a few points. First, I misspoke by stating that 'they haven't been convicted'. What I meant was...

  15. To Suction, or Not to Suction

    IKnowYouRider posted a topic in Pulmonary

    I just started working at an LTAC facility and have a lot of patients on vents, so I'll probably have a lot of posts in this section for a while. Yesterday I had a patient on a trach collar, SaO2 95%...

  19. Awkward situation while putting in 2 weeks notice

    IKnowYouRider replied to nurselove757's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Whoa...I'd suggest taking a week to detox cold turkey There's a lot of ways to be more alert without slowly killing yourself. I have a lot of personal experience with replacing substances with healthy...

  20. Nurse recruiter

    IKnowYouRider replied to Brittany2206's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ha, I've thought about how cover letters for specific jobs might come across this way (as I've done this myself). I personally think it'd be a little harsh to judge somebody as insincere though if...
