    MomRN0913 replied to rebeccalee83's topic in General Nursing

    MomRN0913 replied to Still Riding's topic in General Nursing

  11. How do I know what BID, Daily Meds to hold before OR?

    MomRN0913 replied to mandaaRN's topic in General Nursing

  14. Question re: patient handoff/shift change

    MomRN0913 replied to Nurse SMS's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a question of accountability? It's OK to get a emesis basin, prime an IV line, get a drink, fluff a pillow, turn a patient after you have handed off. There are no legal ramifications. Use...

    MomRN0913 replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Visiting hours are there for a reason. They need to be upheld unless of course there is a serious situation. A minor surgery should be a 10 min good night hug and kiss, see you in the morning type...

    MomRN0913 replied to Dazglue's topic in General Nursing

    It's the same of the hospital to allow this kind of "hotel" mentality. It is a hospital. Is this an acute care hospital? Quite frankly, this guy doesn't sound like he needs an in-patient acute care...
