    Sounds like a HIPPA and a conflict of interest as well too

  3. When to say no...new grad burn out

    Creamsoda replied to AngelicDarkness's topic in General Nursing

    Your getting royally screwed on your overtime. Its illegal, they have to pay you for it. There is no way that is regular time. Id be going to HR and looking for back pay!

  4. 1mg Ativan 7 times per day?!?!

    Creamsoda replied to SuzieeQ's topic in General Nursing

    She may be self medicating sure, it is a higher dose for the outpatient setting, but I wouldnt say its that unusual. Ive seen patients on 20 mg ativan IV/hr on non intubated patients before for ETOH...

  5. What do you know about pushing bicarb?

    Creamsoda replied to TigerGalLE's topic in MICU, SICU

    Ive always noticed the opposite, imediately I usually see a rise in BP, then it may slowly trend back down untill more is pushed, usually these are severly acidotic

  6. Oscillating ventilation

    Creamsoda replied to putmetosleep's topic in MICU, SICU

    Ive seen it used when patients keep blowing pneumos, really bad ARDS ect because traditional ventilation just made things worse. On the otherhand these people are usually extremely sick, and the ones...

  7. Can A Nurse Lose Their Nursing License If They Tested Positive For HIV?

    Creamsoda replied to MMA-N-Nursing's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting post. No you cant get fired. Why should your employer ever find out. Its none of their business. Its discrimination if they fire you. As long as you maintain universal precautions caring...

    Creamsoda replied to lancyly's topic in General Nursing

  9. Critical patient scenarios

    Creamsoda replied to pinkkitty11's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed, its hypovolemic shock, I would be anticipating on getting that patient down to the OR stat and hanging blood and IVF. I just dont get the elevated BP though unless its an initial compensatory...

  10. I lied to the state surveyor

    Creamsoda replied to tammietan's topic in General Nursing

    Your employer was in the wrong, and they essentially forced you to lie. Im not one for contacting lawyers unless truly needed, but this sounds fishy and you should think about it. They forced you into...

  11. Canadian Travel Nurse for California

    Creamsoda replied to Nurserandy's topic in California Nursing

    If you havent already started getting your paperwork in order, you should start, it will take months. You need to write the Apply for the state license, write the NCLEX, get the VISA screen...

  12. Policy development: Central lines

    Creamsoda replied to aCRNAhopeful's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think its the pressure that a 3 cc syringe causes that causes concern, but I dont really know if it matteres anymore these days. Most piccs are power piccs and can handle it and you can push IV...

  13. What was I thinking

    Creamsoda replied to olderthandirt51's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya, ive only been a nurse 6 years, but I have been wondering the last year how long I can possibly do this for. 6 months ago I took a position where I still do bedside care some days (im in a...

  14. Single use vials - told by admins to use as multi-dose

    Creamsoda replied to rofner's topic in General Nursing

    Or you could just carry on as normal and only use one vial per dose who care what they say, best practice is best practise, just get pharmacy to back you

  15. Floating related to age

    Creamsoda replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could be seen as ageism. Doesnt sound right to me. Senority yet, but age,

  16. Told a doctor about how I thought he felt I had no common sense

    Creamsoda replied to ratherbe's topic in General Nursing

    I think you probably took it too

  17. How do you deal with a doctor who sweared on you over the phone?

    Creamsoda replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Id just be like "***" but say all the words..."*** did you say to me?" I guess I just dont care what they think of

  18. Soon to be RN from Canada, looking at the US

    Creamsoda replied to Mike32110's topic in International Nursing

    Lol yes, I do miss the idea of 1 year Maternity leave, great overtime pay (double time in alberta), cheap health insurance and strong unions! But I love being in AK as well so it is what it

  19. Soon to be RN from Canada, looking at the US

    Creamsoda replied to Mike32110's topic in International Nursing

    or do you stay here and jump on the band wagon like so many and we support you? Like i said i know it sounds mean but if you read what i am saying you will see its more of a concern then being mean....

  20. Ignores my being an RN

    Creamsoda replied to LovemykittyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I find it hard to belive this is really an issue. Who cares if she doesnt ask you about her medial problems. Its beter that way dont you think? You are looking far too much into

    Creamsoda replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, If I was a patient with asthma, or post op or whatever and had some nurse come in with some really strong perfume, or even not so strong, but obvious.....I would rather smell BO. Perfume...

  24. Exploitation

    Creamsoda replied to runningwoman's topic in General Nursing

    You were hired as a LVN, and got your RN so now you need to apply to jobs that require the RN to get paid more. Plain and simple. Just because you happened to further your education doesnt mean that...

  25. Do you answer your phone on your day off?

    Creamsoda replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing
