  1. Hello Mr. VIP! I'm your servant nurse for the night!

    MaryPush replied to SICU Queen's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious...was this fella experiencing any s/s of withdrawal? Sometimes hospital detox can be justified if the patient has BAC of zero but is showing withdrawal s/s. (Not going to have s/s until...

  4. verbal order not carried out

    MaryPush replied to avolensky's topic in Medical-Surgical

    What do folks think about reading back orders (I think it has to do with JCAHCO's patient safety goals) as opposed to repeating back orders? I know nurses who write verbal orders with the comment that...

  5. Question on contact hours - anyone????

    MaryPush replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    No prob. Good idea, checking w/ your state board. I would be curious to see how it's done in your state.

  6. What is the meaning of I&O?

    MaryPush replied to OMG212's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Chatsdale and RedWing, both explanations make sense to me. BTW, are you a hockey fan RedWingGirlie?

  7. What is the meaning of I&O?

    MaryPush replied to OMG212's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I've never understood: why do some orders read "I's and O's" (plural). I've been a psych nurse for 18+ years, so some of the med-surg stuff has been pushed out of my brain to make room for,...

  8. Question on contact hours - anyone????

    MaryPush replied to anndoodle's topic in General Nursing

    I would think that any education that you use in your job would count (computer training CEUs). I'm a psych nurse and I have used CEUs that I earned in subjects such as diabetic care and HTN (b/c...

    Q.E.D. [Latin quod erat demonstrandum] "which was to be

  13. Old abbreviations now passe?

    MaryPush replied to stevierae's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Does JCAHCO really assess fines? I thought they were an accrediting body, not a regulatory body. I would think they could pull certification, but monetary fines? Just curious, as I don't know much...

  14. What to do when a family member complains about a coworker

    MaryPush replied to Sadie04's topic in General Nursing

    Very nicely put, Nurse Ratched. I think these are the kinds of things that can be very helpful in the orientation of a new nurse (someone new to nursing not new to a position or floor). I can still...

  15. Leaving the Law

    MaryPush replied to November's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, November, I just had a Zen moment reading your posts. I am a 41 y.o. psych RN practicing for 17 years, and I have been thinking about getting OUT of nursing b/c I want a job where I connect w/...

  16. Therapy dogs....what do you think?

    MaryPush replied to LeashRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be a dream-crasher or anything but (as referred to by CHATSDALE and kids-r-fun re: phobias and aversions), please, please, PLEASE don't assume that everybody is as in love with animals as you...

  17. Why is it... (nurses constantly throw jabs at physicans)

    MaryPush replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    Just a few thoughts... 1. Resident doctors HAVE graduated from medical school and are therefore, no longer students. 2. Why wouldn't someone want to be judged on their spelling (among other things,...
