    leslie :-D replied to nurse.sandi's topic in General Nursing

    can they say I was terminated?

    leslie :-D replied to NamasteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    that's the hardest part...the waiting. i am saddened to read this, namaste. nursing is comprised of (too) many cruel elements. why not call them, and ask these questions? seriously, i am sorry,...

    Need help to convince parents!

    leslie :-D replied to NateH's topic in General Nursing

    i too, think you should take full advantage of your parents paying for a bsn eduation. the trend in nursing, has been heading in that direction anyways. i can promise you one thing: if you don't get...

    Routine meds for hospice use

    leslie :-D replied to trodden's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    generally, the prototypes are morphine, senna, ativan, haldol, ibuprofen/antiinflammatory, zofran. much luck.:)

    Medications through an ileostomy?

    leslie :-D replied to onewithhospiceheart's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    it's done all the time (administering through stomas), but it is also one of the least recommended routes. its absorption is inconsistent and questionable. but the wife doesn't have to know that... if...

    An upset elderly patient...

    leslie :-D replied to caregiver1977's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i've delayed posting a response, since i didn't want to do so impulsively. but seriously patient, i find it incredulous that a dr...any dr...would share such personal info w/a pt or family member. in...

    Nursing Student with a Drug Addiction

    leslie :-D replied to VanessaLee13's topic in Nurses Recovery

    actually, snitching is the least of the problems here. i've always been a believer in karma, recognizing that sometimes, being proactive is warranted. however, it seems you're focused on wanting to...

    A match?

    leslie :-D replied to greenfiremajick's topic in General Nursing

    my first thought was peds... since babies/children are the ones who require the most advocacy. they would respond well to your nurturing side... and you could bring a lot to the table in terms of your...

    Should I tell my NM or not???

    leslie :-D replied to NYnurseatheart's topic in General Nursing

    firstly, if sev'l nurses are slamming narcs in, it warrants attn, period. yes, it's not necessary for those who do it correctly, but the goal is to prevent a bad pt outcome... so this inservice is...

    Antiementics for the elderly

    leslie :-D replied to CoffeeRTC's topic in General Nursing

    compazine should be a very last resort, r/t its highly sedating effects. with elderly, i would definitely use the zofran 8mg max, and if that didn't work...compazine 25mg pr. that said, when i worked...
  18. leslie :-D

    Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    leslie :-D replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    it seems she was online today until around 8:50am... so no, i don't think she wants to give an update. if i had to guess, it 'seems' she's likely put off by most of the responses. ...another missed...

    What should I have done differently?

    leslie :-D replied to nursedolphin's topic in General Nursing

    i agree w/this. but, you need to be decisive one way or the other. this is no time to hem and haw, time is money. i also like the idea of a legal consult, many of which you can get for free. and...

    Can someone please appease my paranoia?

    leslie :-D replied to gigglymo's topic in General Nursing

    how would this even happen...do you have any open lesions on your hand? just get a prophylactic cootie shot, and you'll be good.
