    Syringes with no needles - garbage or sharps container?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to Hoozdo's topic in General Nursing

    My pet peeve is nurses throwing regular trash in the sharps. I see labels in the sharps box all the time. I dispose of those in the shred box. For needle-less syringes, I usually use the sharps bin...

    IV's- nursing or medical decision?

    SouthernLPN2RN replied to WVUBSN*93's topic in General Nursing

    I may be waaaayy wrong for this, but I don't see how waiting 3-5 minutes is accurate. I had to take a lot of orthostatics in the office setting and we all were taught to check the BP and pulse as soon...
