    EpiPens....who knew?

    KelRN215 replied to roser13's topic in Patient Medications

    The author of this article states that her husband's employer only offered high deductible plans. That happened to me last year. When I change jobs, I always ask about the health insurance options....

    Dashing a patient's hope or just being honest?

    KelRN215 replied to xanderfan's topic in General Nursing

    How old is this patient? If he's 18 or over, Mom's feelings as to what he should be told have no bearing on the information that you should share with him. And, really, she's not entitled to any...

    KelRN215 replied to Marwan.hasan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Impossible to know if a blood transfusion is needed based on blood pressure and blood glucose levels. What is the hemoglobin? A BP of 190/90 doesn't scream hypovolemia to

    Hospital requires you to pass Nclex on first try.

    KelRN215 replied to Sagegrr's topic in General Nursing

    I fail to understand why this is shocking. New grad positions are offered contingent upon the new grad passing NCLEX and obtaining a valid license prior to the start date. There's a 45 day waiting...

    KelRN215 replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    This. The NM cannot and should not share the results of an ongoing investigation with the nurse in question's colleagues. Giving q 8hr pain meds at 7:15 and 2:45 isn't a med

    How much is a normal raise

    KelRN215 replied to Sully64's topic in General Nursing

    "Right-to-work state" means a state where employees cannot be required to join a union. It doesn't have anything to do with an employer being able to fire employees without cause. What you are...

    Parent Insists Nurse Brings Pt to the BR When SHE Uses It!

    KelRN215 replied to SunnyPupRN's topic in Private Duty

    The agency needs to be notified so they can set appropriate limits/expectations with the parent. It is possible that other nurses in the home are doing it and not informing the agency since some...

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    KelRN215 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps because you ARE in the nurses' space and in their way? Once you are working as a nurse, you will see that students are a burden. They create extra work (unpaid, I might add), they hog your...

    Are nurse's all that and a bag of chips?

    KelRN215 replied to Nash3222's topic in General Nursing

    I do not now, nor have I ever in the fourteen years since I first entered nursing school, understand people who say that they have no life because of nursing. I left work promptly at 5:30pm today. I...

    HIPAA and Demanding Family Members

    KelRN215 replied to Taiin's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    In my opinion, if the discharged patient wanted this relative to know where he went, the relative would already know. The last time I was in the hospital, I told one person and that person was not a...

    Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    KelRN215 replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    It would absolutely cause an opportunity to close in my area. All new hires are expected to work rotating shifts around these parts. I graduated from nursing school 9 years ago and most of my...

    Public Schools and transgender bathrooms.

    KelRN215 replied to imintrouble's topic in School

    I don't follow. What part of the real world will hit the transgender person hard? Transgender people use the bathrooms of the gender they identify with all the time. There's no one policing the...

    KelRN215 replied to offlabel's topic in General Nursing

    If one has multiple degrees in the same area, only the highest need be listed. If there are other degrees in other area, those should be listed separately. My Oncologist is listed as "MD, MPH." Many...
