  1. Almost fired today

    NP2BE replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! Actually those are good questions. I am recently disengaged from my fiance, and then working a lot and not sleeping too great so those are all probably contributory. What do you mean they...

  8. Almost fired today

    NP2BE replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I appreciate the input. Let me clarify: I gave 2 mg, nothing, and gave more. At some points, I gave 10 mg an hour then backed off when the patient showed less signs of agitation. There were no...
