    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    MaxAttack replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to see the Appeals Court is following her advice and is continuing to ensure grossly incompetent and dangerous nurses are held accountable in the appropriate

    Bill introduced to allow AI to prescribe medications

    MaxAttack replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's nuts. Using AI to suggest proper treatment, OK makes sense. But giving AI full prescriptive authority is absolutely crazy at this

    Male nurses

    I've never had an issue, and I would do it

    Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

    MaxAttack replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    The more I read about this case the more I'm convinced she ended up the fall guy and will spend her life in prison because the alternative would've been for a hospital to actually take accountability...

    Hospital Patient Care

    MaxAttack replied to WhirlyGirlNurse's topic in General Nursing

    The unfortunate thing is even if you provided feedback to the hospital, administration would take that as a sign of poor nursing without considering the factors that lead to it. They focus on the...

    I was deemed an unsafe student in nursing school and it affects my confidence as a nurse now

    MaxAttack replied to dsaprog's topic in General Nursing

    I was failed for being unsafe one semester in nursing school. I kept going, and yeah I felt like I was on the radar and that I barely squeaked through. But I did. I now have almost ten years of...

    Help! I need an advice!

    MaxAttack replied to dt1607's topic in General Nursing

    That first response was way out of line. I find it hard to believe they are a nurse and are so oblivious to such a prevalent disorder. Autism is a disability covered under the ADA. HR would...

    Stable Vtach

    MaxAttack replied to Matthew89's topic in General Nursing

    Adenosine works on the AV node so it would be ineffective in afib. Amio is a good first-line drug, but procainamide and sotalol can be effective. I don't know that there's a time per se to wait before...

    Have you ever untwisted an IV when you aren't supposed to?

    MaxAttack replied to Katr's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm sure worse things have happened, but now you know for the future. The biggest issue I see in this particular situation is contamination. I've seen experienced nurses disconnect an infusion...

    Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

    MaxAttack replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

    This case is kind of scary. This all started because someone noticed that a particular nurse was on shift during patient deterioration and deaths. If you pick up shifts and are quick to help in an...

    a dumb author question about Foley catheters..

    MaxAttack replied to dumbquestion's topic in Nursing Humor

    Ahhhh gotcha. Yep, it's not ideal but typically the physicians want to see what's going on for themselves and evaluate for any missed

    a dumb author question about Foley catheters..

    MaxAttack replied to dumbquestion's topic in Nursing Humor

    He's going to head to the trauma bay first where the binder would be removed to allow for a complete assessment and a foley would be inserted (good research - part of that is checking for blood)...

    Nurse Practitioner had live sex for online viewing

    MaxAttack replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    https://theintercept.com/2023/09/25/chaturbate-susanna-gibson-washington-post/ She posted the videos on Chaturbate - a publicly accessible Media site. What probably happened was she posted it and...

    Storytime!

    MaxAttack replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man, I would have been horrified. It sounds like he was cool about it at least! We're all human. I feel like I've done a thousand things that make me wish I could disappear. Most recently I...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    MaxAttack replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Your specialty is "research" but you need help navigating Google and/or databases? ? I have a feeling when you see ARR numbers you'll think you've been vindicated and not realize that at a...

    Confiscating patients weed

    MaxAttack replied to MoeShe's topic in General Nursing

    Hospitals aren't a lawless land where patients can do what they want. It's funny to me that security is useless everywhere. I feel the best step would have been to get the police involved. I have...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    MaxAttack replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Considering most of the covid vaccines weren't withdrawn for safety reasons but because there were better formulations available and that the information you're asking for is readily available online,...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    MaxAttack replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Reality should not be this difficult. This is so detached from objective truths that I can only assume you're trolling at this

    Power Red Blood Cell Donation for Peth Tests

    MaxAttack replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Some actually have street value and are used recreationally. I imagine they're looking for the use of meds without a script or the program's

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    MaxAttack replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    It's always strange to me when anti-vaxxers are nurses. Why choose a field based on science if you don't believe in it? Or maybe they believe in science but don't take the time before forming their...

    Anti Vaxxer I Knew Became A Nurse

    MaxAttack replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    Oh boy. The covid vaccines code specific proteins that produce antibodies to covid. Giving your body a taste of a pathogen to produce antibodies to that pathogen is the basic principle of how vaccines...

    Power Red Blood Cell Donation for Peth Tests

    MaxAttack replied to Universe93B's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm trying to figure out what a peth test and blood donation have to do with one another. Are you trying to figure out if you can drink and get around the test by donating

    Do you regret becoming a nurse?

    MaxAttack replied to jengood's topic in General Nursing

    Corporate greed isn't unique to healthcare. No matter what field you go into there are going to be suits making others struggle for their benefit. There are certain hospitals/systems that are worse...

    What was she thinking?!

    MaxAttack replied to pharmanurse11's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the issue was that the patient was discharged from the ER with a PIV, not how long it stayed in while at the SNF. OP, it sounds like you have your answer. The ER can't have a...

    Fentanyl Crisis

    MaxAttack replied to Emergent's topic in Nursing News

    How does this explain the rise in fentanyl deaths in Canada? How does this explain the rise in opioid deaths worldwide? I don't understand how people listen to these political talking points when...
