   the girl has some major issues if shes even KIDDING like that about the camera. i really think it's inappropriate. mind her own business in the breakroom?? really?? the breakroom is definately NOT a place of privacy and everything u say will be leaked. the fact that this chick said it out loud, without any regard for WHO is in the room speaks for itself. shes stuck up and rather weird. granted it may have been just a horrible joke, but thats pretty lame of her. i said it before, i will say it again, go the your charge nurse or manager b/c stuff like this can lead to other things. even tho shes was only "joking" ... i dont think a REAL NURSE would joke in that manner.

   check the pt and how he/she is tolerating the morphine i.e are they stable. respiratory system ok? BP/pulse good? pulse ox good? they arent confused or hallucinating? then give the lortab. :)

   Contact precaution question

   malgosiaRN84 replied to SchoolNurseLaura's topic in Nurses

   DEFINATELY gown up b/c u do not know what you are touching with your scrubs (sheets/blanket/gown) and then u are spreading mrsa and therefore pts will be colonized with it despite not having an active mrsa infection. PLUs there is a bunch of crap in the air as well.
