    abbnurse replied to NurseDuggan's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    abbnurse replied to Jaellys's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! You made an honest mistake and it's nothing to be too worried about.....it sounds like the MD was reasonable, and you got what your patient needed. I have had to contact MD's who...

  4. Syringe/needle exchange

    abbnurse replied to SiwanRN's topic in Addictions

    No need to be defensive or sarcastic. My question was an honest one, as was yours. I meant nothing by it other than what I asked. Our needle / syringe exchange program is a " one for one", up...

  5. Syringe/needle exchange

    abbnurse replied to SiwanRN's topic in Addictions

    Flabbergasted about the syringe/needle exchange? (This is an honest question, not being snarky. I just want to clarify.) Your city/ town doesn't have a program like this? I was under the...

  9. Getting IV certified

    abbnurse replied to edithfig's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This is true, in my state. The LPN's I work with who have graduated in the past five or six years are IV certified when they graduate. Prior to this, the organization we work for would pay for...

  14. Ethical dilemma

    abbnurse replied to hotflashion's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I think ixchel is right; the woman may view things somewhat differently since she is a receptionist as opposed to a medical assistant or nurse. You have been more than loyal to this MD, and it...
