    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to sreynolds's topic in Emergency

    Holy crap, I would have done everything you did except make sure there was at least a peripheral line in the AC since it's got such a short half life. You did the right thing! What if it worked,...

    Bullied by CNAs?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to needsassistance's topic in General Nursing

    No victim blaming as I'm not convinced that there are any victims. No one has to like or follow my advice. It doesn't hurt me if you disagree. The OP asked for opinions and so I gave

    Bullied by CNAs?

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to needsassistance's topic in General Nursing

    It also sounds like you don't have respect as an equal. 1. If you are newer than they are, it takes time to show that you are really in it and not just there for a line on your resume. 2. Puzzle...

    Decreasing Falls in the ED

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to widi96's topic in Emergency

    I feel like it would be fantastic if there were a CNA or two who would be assigned to only answering call lights. Having to prioritize care in the ER, it's hard to answer a call when we are doing the...

    Decreasing Falls in the ED

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to widi96's topic in Emergency

    Seriously, I find that most of the time people climb out of bed without help when they feel like they have to pee. So I check on my at risk patients more often for that. On the humorous side,...

    NurseOnAMotorcycle replied to dreamer30's topic in Health, Stress Management
