    When to piggyback This

    Sun0408 replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    When you y something in, it is on it's own pump and has it's own primary tubing. So what ever you programmed in is what it will run at. When you y it is the pt will get both fluids. When you...

    Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

    Sun0408 replied to zombienurse13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That was my point. Maybe detoxing is not the right word. Rehab may be a better word. What you describe is what I'm talking about. If it's ordered and safe, I give. I refuse to be the gate

    Nurses Enabling Substance Abusers

    Sun0408 replied to zombienurse13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Curious to know why Jahi thread was closed?

    Sun0408 replied to RNIBCLC's topic in Nursing News

    It's been more than a month since the family or their lawyer has made a sound. I wonder why the silence ?? Has she been laid to rest or moved. I don't think they have the backing to fund her care any...

    Sun0408 replied to JMoney's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Gotta love admins that know nothing of what we do. How dare they expect us to only sit during breaks as if we get those. I don't see myself following that policy unless they do as well. Guess I...

    Fishy... Slang for something isn't right about your story. Things don't add up or you are lying about a part or all of what you say. I agree. If you are a nurse and have been with this pt for 7...

    Sun0408 replied to nashva's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    It is not required to reassess those you mentioned at my hospital or previous hospitals I've worked at. Medicating for pain is the only one we reassess for. SOB is rated? I can't see how rating...

    Oh yes. So many issues. Pts complained so much about the nonstop beeping physicians all but stopped using PCAs. We went from seeing 50 or so PCAs a day to less than 5 in a 500 bed
