Read in entirety: Nurse attacked, brutally beaten by Elgin Mental Health Center patient

These psych facilities continue to not get it. You staff for safety in Psych. Sue the facility.

At my facility, we don’t have 400mg Seroquel tabs so we give 2 of the 200mg. if a patient only takes 1, I can’t force them to take 2. in my case if they agree to take 1 instead of 2 that’s what they will get and I will chart it. now if it’s a 300mg tablet that I pull from Pyxis but they only want 200mg I couldn’t go pull a 200 anyway so if they refuse the tablet, I’ll chart refused in mar. Haldol, we don’t have 10mg tabs, so we give 2 of the 5mg. If a patient agrees to 1 I will give 1 and chart it in mar. any case we have multiple tabs to make the ordered dose I will give less if patient agrees. Better to get 1 500mg Depakote ER in them than none if they won’t take 3 of the 500mg

Muno, I’ve read and enjoyed your posts for years but in this instance, I don’t even know where to begin to respond. I am a diabetic, wearing a insulin pump right now, intentionally in ketosis, and have been for a long time like many diabetics.

I work in a 36 bed facility. Each nurse gives report to oncoming nurse that is assigned patients. The assignment from shift to *** can vary slightly so you may get report from 2 nurses or even 3+ maybe depending on who did an admission that got placed in your assigned territory.

These fill in nurses crossing the picket line for $840 a day in Chicago. Good money now, but don’t let those 2200 nurses see your face. Don’t cross a picket line.

Difficult to comment on salary without knowing where you're at. 120k in one place might be 150k in another place. All depends on cost of living.

I deal with fake falls all the time. When they do it, we discontinue all narcs. Narcotics are fall risk drugs and we don't want them to fall again.

If I'm reading it right, it's sliding scale, that's just correcting a high sugar so I totally get that, doesn't matter if they eat or not. Now if it was a scheduled 15 units then I would be curious if what I said above my edit is happening.

Why? I'd rather be fired and possibly collect unemployment while I seek new job.

Union hospital on top of saturated market. People get hired at Stroger and stay.

The is no requirement for BSN to obtain magnet status. It is 1 of the biggest lies in nursing next to Joint Commission caring about having a closed bottle at your workstation.

ADN programs at community colleges are extremely difficult to get in to. They are inexpensive and extremely competitive. Accelerated BSN programs are usually expensive, but you'd end with a BSN in the same time-frame.

Every other news source that reported it called her a nurse too. Sadly, the girl is dead. Let's let her be a nurse in memory and not worry about if she was one or not and which news organization reported it.
