  2. After Health Care reform.. NP vs PA

    Flying ICU RN replied to monkago2009's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ditto, However, if your question is based upon return on investment, my money would be on adult care, specifically geriatric adult care for the next 20

  3. Access to Nurse via Telephone

    Flying ICU RN replied to Flying ICU RN's topic in General Nursing

    Bingo! A long term clerk with a screeching voice who bellows out, "Telephone for the Nurse for Bed five!" Only to come to the phone to find out it's the sixth consecutive "old friend" from Kalamazoo...

  4. Is this a microcosm of what happens in nursing on a DAILY basis!?

    Flying ICU RN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    The answer to the behavior can likely be attributed to a sense of entitlement on the part of the offender. "I have a right to earn my money as easily as possible, and I can't stand this old lady...

  5. Can a nurse just be a nurse anymore???

    Flying ICU RN replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    All very admirable goals in your well thought out post. However, I believe the OP is saying that we have plenty on our plate as it is, and that such activities (admirable as they may be) should be...

  6. cruelest thing I heard a nurse say

    Flying ICU RN replied to work67's topic in General Nursing

    Not so fast. Bringing attention to the fact that cruelty (a uniquely human trait) has no place in the care of the infirmed and their loved ones, is a worthy subject for discussion. Can a Nurse (or...

  7. Failed drug calculations quiz, need some encouragement...

    Flying ICU RN replied to Katie803's topic in General Students

    Your fist line and foremost on your mind, as it should be. If for some reason Nursing school does not work out for you, there will be some self questioning on your part as to whether or not you had...

  8. Opinions and Experiences with Patient Restraints?

    Flying ICU RN replied to jax14's topic in General Nursing

    You should also discuss the fact that there are two disciplines whereby an individuals right to freedom of movement can be legally restricted, medicine and law enforcement. There is a commonality in...

  9. Is this a microcosm of what happens in nursing on a DAILY basis!?

    Flying ICU RN replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    This was a crime caught on camera. If it happened in the US, this lady will be arraigned and see a jail cell as a precursor to a whole lot of trouble. If it happened in some other part of the world,...

  10. Got written up today

    Flying ICU RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Based on what you say here, I'm going to assume the D.O.N, came to the same likely conclusion as my take on this scenario. That a normally conscientious employee was caught up in a bad situation....

    Flying ICU RN replied to PAERRN20's topic in General Nursing

  12. I'm getting a BSN and a minor in Biology, will this be an advantage at all?

    Flying ICU RN replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. As Biology is a real science, the knowledge itself is worthwhile. Now, watch me get in trouble here.... Nursing, is more art than science. Achieving journeyman status, requires significant...

  13. Opinions and Experiences with Patient Restraints?

    Flying ICU RN replied to jax14's topic in General Nursing

    As per my preceding post, I wonder how this may look on my brother-in-law? Sorry, I couldn't

  14. Opinions and Experiences with Patient Restraints?

    Flying ICU RN replied to jax14's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to be funny and post an image of Hannibal Lecter in his famous restraint, when I came across this image of how bad it can actually get in real life. Now mind you, this is a law enforcement...

  15. Can a nurse just be a nurse anymore???

    Flying ICU RN replied to NightNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Annoying isn't it? What you are seeing here, is someone's justification for a high level position (or dept) at the expense of your time and effort under the banner of client

  16. Would you have reported this med error?

    Flying ICU RN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Which as you note is a required responsibility. However, as you also noted, there is a supposition and presumption of error on the part of the OP towards a co-worker who has legally documented...

  17. Would you have reported this med error?

    Flying ICU RN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Not at all, what I am saying is that barring an admission of guilt, the Burden of Proof is squarely on the accuser(s). The Nurse does in fact lie about it, but it is not provable. The irony of the...

  18. Would you have reported this med error?

    Flying ICU RN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    As I do on occasion tend to be somewhat cryptic in my written forum responses, allow me clarify. My response is not only for your benefit, but to urge caution in this regard to the membership in...

  19. am I wrong?

    Flying ICU RN replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

  21. Would you have reported this med error?

    Flying ICU RN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    If all was as posted,... This was a legally documented administration of a medication by a licensed professional. Therefore this was an acusation of both falsification as well as omission based upon...

  22. Would you have reported this med error?

    Flying ICU RN replied to IowaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    To the extent possible as allowed by law and common

  23. Being assertive

    Flying ICU RN replied to cuteinpinkNS's topic in General Nursing

    You are not at all off the mark here. My wife and I had a similar conversation recently regarding her 42 cd birthday, where I made an off-hand cheeky remark about trading me in for a younger model...

  24. Being assertive

    Flying ICU RN replied to cuteinpinkNS's topic in General Nursing
