    kcmylorn replied to beatrice1's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    mac10023- I think your post is very accurate on naming the poor conditions staff nurses in the hosp. face. It captures the sense of powerlessness we nurses face working a staff position and the why it...

  8. Customer Service at any cost and its effect on burn out and safety??

    kcmylorn replied to PACURN1818's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    kcmylorn replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't think demerol IV or IM( esp. IM), was being given anymore? Because of the risk of seizure. I though the gold standards post op was Morphine or Dilaudid. I was under the impression it was...
