    FowLaf24/7 replied to alsuv1's topic in General Nursing

    The question should have been asked when the patient exhibited the signs, and not when one is home. Why would the patient not have bloody

  4. What would u do?

    FowLaf24/7 replied to rnfromja10's topic in General Nursing

    I am sick and tired of DONs who become DONs to bully and harass the staff. They are suppose to make the work environment conducive for providing optimal patient care. Oh... I guess that is why I would...

  5. Nurse Distractions and Med Errors please share input

    FowLaf24/7 replied to CNOR1988's topic in General Nursing

    FowLaf24/7 replied to Jay2daq's topic in General Nursing

    As one progresses in the understanding of the disease process of CHF, one will begin to understand the reason for the respiratory effects. Lasix is for edema. What is edema? Excess fluid which has...

  10. Charting every 2 hours?

    FowLaf24/7 replied to UMBstudent's topic in Emergency

    Did they specify what they wished to be charted? It is not that you are not checking in on these patient on a regular basis, but the charting would not reflect this fact unless one charts. This may be...

  11. Rude Doctor!

    FowLaf24/7 replied to ohioRN09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ummm. It seems he just a "blow hard" who wants to be noticed. It will only take one nurse to return fire, and this guy:yawn: will be done with his power trip. I have seen it more than

  12. when did they stop wearing those cute nurses caps?

    FowLaf24/7 replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    I have a textbook which featured photos of female nurses with the full uniform, which has a copyright year of 1983. In the late 1980's, I believe was the phasing of the cap, and more of the colorful...

  13. Mistakes at work.

    FowLaf24/7 replied to savotina's topic in General Nursing

    On a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is the most severe. I would give this incident a 0.1. If the other nurses were laughing, they likely were thinking how embarrassing it would be, and not thinking you...

  14. Feeling really REALLY stupid about clinicals

    FowLaf24/7 replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    I believe everyone can relate to how you are feeling at one time or another, and some weeks all the time. I believe some of the problem could be communication. If the expectations were not presented...

  15. Fever and dying

    FowLaf24/7 replied to honeybee888's topic in General Nursing

    What could be an interest for you... research what cause of a fever. One will find a lot of clinical scenarios which will produce a fever. Once you understand the mechanism, you will have a better...

  16. Nurses Who Can't Add Cost Lives.

    FowLaf24/7 replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses who can't add cost lives? What about nurses who do not know how to do a full assessment? What about a nurse who neglects to advise the next shift about unusual bleeding? What about a nurse who...

  17. Interview next week...need advice

    FowLaf24/7 replied to RNmom7's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How do you know if this was the factor? It could have been the fact they had another applicant who happened to be related to some hospital staff member, or the other applicant could answer none of...

  18. RANT ON: I am so sick of the BS in LTC!

    FowLaf24/7 replied to nursinger's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with the above post. I would also add.......physicians should audit their prescribed medication list for individual patients:uhoh3: on a regular basis. Polypharmacy is an issue which really...

  19. Is everything really the nurses fault?

    FowLaf24/7 replied to jerrylundergard's topic in General Nursing

    I can see the cardiologist point. Labs and calling the physician for orders is the responsibility of the nurse. I do believe the physicians have no idea what the nurses deal with on a day-to-day...

  20. Funny things patients have said

    FowLaf24/7 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I am a male nurse and I was assisting a female dementia patient with cutting the roast beef on her plate. She insisted I take a few bites of the cut meat and added "my wife will cut-me-off if she...

  21. I need your input on a potentially life-altering decision...

    FowLaf24/7 replied to Scrubs911's topic in General Nursing

    On a serious note: If this is a life-altering decision, you might check in with people you know and trust. Seeking advice from individuals on website for such decisions just seems

  22. So frustrated and depressed

    FowLaf24/7 replied to deftonez188's topic in General Nursing

    You need to calm down and have some dip... The world does not revolve around you! You are nothing but a drama queen. If you are going into the Navy, you better get over this attitude quick or you will...

  24. What the heck is up with nursing school tests??!!

    FowLaf24/7 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Do we go to the same school? LOL.. I have quickly made the sane decision not to get uptight with my test score. As long as I am making the same grade as the top people in the class, I simply am not...
