   anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

   I am sure it does happen to all of us, and that I will certainly do something silly. And I'll be sure to post it, too! Everything worked out fine in the end with the two scenarios I posted. They're just the kind of thing that when it's going on, you'...

   Not that scary. Okay, well maybe the second. But the first... not that scary unless you're just counting the fact that she couldn't do math. What she did was safe.. it was just weird of her to tell me about that and ask if I understood it the way it ...

   I now have been a nurse for 3 months and have 2 to share! :) 1.) The patients MAR said give 1 unit of insulin for every 30 above 150. The nurse called the Doctor for a sliding scale to be written out because doing the math was too hard..................

6. Narc count right, then WRONG

   anonymous1919 replied to Dee_RN's topic in General Nursing

   As you can see, the person who wrote this thread is from the US. So stating your countries laws mean nothing.... are you telling her because she is an LPN that she shouldn't hold the narcotic keys because your country doesn't allow it? Um... well she...

7. asking for meds?

   anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

   So instead of waking them up and asking them if they'd like their pain medication.. you'd rather them wake up an hour later in severe pain crying, have to wait for you to asses and bring the med and then wait for it to kick back in until they get rel...

8. asking for meds?

   anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

   Well what I got from her post was that she thinks she needs to reeducate the patients and spend her time calling the doctor to get the pain medication orders change then give them medication for their pain. She spends waaaaaay to much time judging! A...

9. asking for meds?

   anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

   I feel sorry for your patients. You must put them through extra ******** that is totally unneeded. Just give them their damn medication when they ask for it, you clearly cant think critically past that.

10. asking for meds?

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    See my patient had hers PRN but she wanted it right when she could have it next. She even wanted us to wake her up. I always did. Some nurses wouldn't and that would result in the patient waking up an hour later screaming and crying in pain (so not o...

14. asking for meds?

    anonymous1919 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Why is this wrong? I had a Res that had PRN pain meds but she has requested for us to bring them to her when she could have another. She was in constant pain and never refused them when we brought them to her. She was grateful because she would worry...

15. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    anonymous1919 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    orientate IS a word. Chill out. The English language is constantly changing and always will. I'm sure if you had a chat with someone from the early 1700's they'd think you were saying everything all wrong. BTW, if you were in the UK this thread woul...
