    Patient Scenarios/Critical Thinking

    tyvin replied to vg1003's topic in General Nursing

    To make a better informed decision I would want to know if he looks any good with his gown off. I'm kidding of course; what I really would need to know is if he's married ... no, no, still kidding....

    Morphine vial dose...HELPP!!!!!

    tyvin replied to Marie1205's topic in General Nursing

    Whether they were 1mg/1ml carpujects is no longer the question. You admitted that you were afraid they would think you were diverting because you didn't have a witness to waste half the syringe ......

    tyvin replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing that exciting but I would have loved to been there when Richard Gere came in the ER with a gerbil up his ah ha. Then there's the guy who holds (ouch) the record for largest object in the...

    For those who don't wear scrubs, what do you wear to work?

    tyvin replied to cbcle's topic in General Nursing

    When in psych we were allowed to wear our street clothes. In other places where I did MDS work I wore street clothes with a lab coat. Of course I'm not talking about jeans and a t-shirt but dress...

    No Names....I'm just Saying That .....

    tyvin replied to RNdiva505's topic in General Nursing

    It's called nursing ... it's been like that since nursing time began. Go ahead and grow an ulcer but that will only hurt you. Make a list, triage, delegate and have a nice day. If you really have a...

    Patients dying

    Subutex & Methadone & neonatal withdrawal

    tyvin replied to sunshine1216's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    A big part of the problem is that the moms are more concerned with their own withdrawal and with good reason. Methadone is one of the worst drugs to kick due to it's half life. Perhaps we could do...

    Patients dying

    tyvin replied to nesje30's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's important for people to realize that the burst of energy phenomena happens mostly with people who are terminally ill and dying at home or in a facility. Some say it's brain waves, some say it's...

    i feel guilty, help!

    tyvin replied to anotherone's topic in General Nursing

    Do everything to keep "yourself" whole. You can kill yourself trying to please everyone else. It's only getting worse as more nurses are quilted into working beyond their means. The only way it will...

    Patients dying

    tyvin replied to nesje30's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Anyone who works hospice knows that people who are passing on will have a burst of energy before they go. It's different with everyone as to when. I've seen it done a few days before and then a few...

    Oxygen Question

    tyvin replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in General Nursing

    tyvin replied to agrj's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not quite sure of your dialog in relation to what you want advice on. Yes, a Foley needs an order and verbal orders are given all the time but with this I would have written up the order and had...

    CNA and report

    tyvin replied to tokmom's topic in General Nursing

    It's different everywhere but the best IMO was when I worked in a place that after nurse to nurse report then the nurses would give report to the CNAs. Both of us, CNAs and RNs, would get together...

    How am I going to get the time off for a tummy tuck?

    tyvin replied to NurseLady1's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to sound crass or rude but why don't you try it the old fashion way (that's my suggestion). You could save yourself money and see results in 3 to 6 months if you stick to a plan. What...

    tyvin replied to BROWNEYEDNURSE13's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Advice needed

    tyvin replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I read a lot of insecurity in your post. We often will get what we want in terms of behavior. If you want to be looked at as fat and having ugly scrubs it will happen because that's what you're doing....
