    Want to transition to MICU/SICU

    MaxAttack replied to Guest995304's topic in MICU, SICU

    If you're looking to become a CRNA you need ICU experience, point blank. To get there, most ICU managers that I've known don't care about your experience. They know that comes with time. It's all...

    Lmao I can't with you! ? Who's "enraged"? And come on! It doesn't even really make sense as literally the entire thread was based on an unlikely event. Ahh OK really I'm done ? How about one more...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Relax. I was talking about people who use the religious/moral excuse to not vaccinate or be vaccinated, not about DNR's. I could have been more clear. Jesus you people are too much ?...

    This was never about universally following or not following orders. Honestly it sounds like you're struggling too hard to play devil's advocate at the expense of a cohesive argument. Considering...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the clarification. My argument is that if it there is a legitimate order within the scope of practice and the patient has given informed consent, a nurse has no legal argument to...

    If a 25 y/o stopped breathing from minor injuries then they might not have been as healthy as you thought. ? I don't know California law. There's a standardized form in my state that is legally...

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    Bruh. Where am I arguing this? Where do you pull this stuff from? Let me try one more time What legal right does a nurse have to override both patient and informed consent and refuse to...

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    LOL at this point you're either trolling or intentionally misconstruing the argument. This is about the limits to the nurses ability to refuse orders (refer to poll title: "Can nurses refuse to...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    The argument here is that a nurse should be able to withhold a potentially life-saving option because there are theoretical risks associated with it. But aren't there risks associated with *any* new...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    It could have been worded better. I'm not the OP but I imagine they meant ethically/morally and that's what lead to some of the confusion and debate. Asking if someone could refuse to administer an...

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    LOL "chastisement," "diatribe," "doomsday." I'm not sure why the hate but I love your flair for the dramatic. An actually interesting point could have been why one would not put themselves into...

    Nurses Refusing to Administer COVID-19 Vaccinations!? | Nurses Week Contest

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    These are good examples. Someone at the age of 85 has a greater risk of drying from covid than someone at the age of 25. If an 85 year old, after discussing the risks and benefits with their provider,...

    MaxAttack replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why you're splitting hairs here. My reply is for anyone who feels, whether for themselves or others, that they have the legal standing to refuse to administer a medication based on...

    How have so many people voted yes on this?? Would you refuse to administer an antibiotic? Tylenol because you don't like Johnson & Johnson? Taking a job that includes administration of...

    I'm sure I'll be in monitoring soon and I could use advice

    MaxAttack replied to Yrztree's topic in Nurses Recovery

    If you were clean I'm curious what your lawyers have to say. I'm pretty sure in my state you don't need to report legal issues until you're convicted. I wouldn't get the BON or your diversion program...

    Missed check in

    MaxAttack replied to mississippiRN71's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Same as above - if you miss check in self-test ASAP and send them a message. It's a red flag so voluntarily testing yourself is a sign of good faith and seems to help. My memory is awful so I...

    Fluid bolus?

    MaxAttack replied to robred's topic in Critical Care

    It depends. Are you giving a bolus on someone who's dry and just needs fluids or is this an unstable patient in shock? Fluid resuscitation is an imperfect science and can be risky so you have to take...

    Constitutional Violation by Disciplinary Abstinence?

    @parliament I am curious how it would play out if it were actually brought before a court. The court opinion was an interesting read and based on that I'd imagine the government's interest in...

    IV Vitamin Infusion therapy, what you don't know can hurt you

    MaxAttack replied to nlkimmel's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with the above. It would help if you supported your statements. There's quite a few of these "vitamin spas" in my area and clients are first seen by a medical provider and then infused by a...
