    Chin up replied to coogabooga's topic in General Nursing

  10. new grad ready for work, how to approach the human resource dept

    Chin up replied to beatrice1's topic in General Nursing

    I was just reading an article, "50 things HR won't tell you", in the Readers Digest. Two that come to mind and I am paraphrasing, don't come by and drop off resume, it is creepy". And "if you want to...

  13. false reassurance

    Chin up replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    Since we don't live in a perfect world, and nothing is black and white, it is entirely dependent on the professional, to know what to say, to their patient. I could tell you I would say, such and...

  14. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Great thread, no one got nasty, will agree to disagee. But love a lively debate!

  15. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's is not about the 1-2 or 1 or 2. It is about once the dose is given at 12, the order was fulfilled. An hour and a half later does not make up for the one not given at 12. It starts a new order. By...

  16. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    You are so not my concern, facility policy and the BON is. I would write up as a med error in a heart beat, if i saw one signed out at 12am and then another one signed out at 1:30am without a further...

  17. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that nursing judgement will get you written up.

  18. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, you would not give any at 1:30. You would wait until four. Period. Or call for a stat order. Think through what you just said and see if it makes sense, 1 doesn't work at 12, so one more at 1:30...

  19. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is not what the order says. It says, give 1 or 2 every 4 hours PRN. It does not say, give 1 or 2 whenever you feel like it. Sorry, but this is a simple order. It would have been written, 1-2...

  20. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Call and ask for a new or stat order. Nurses are not allowed to prescribe

  21. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't believe this is correct at all. The order does not say one tab every two hours. It says every four. If you do it your way, you are prescribing meds. But say you gave 1 at 12, then 2 at...

  22. range order rationale

    Chin up replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Because you were to give one or two every four hours, then you need to wait the full 4 hours before you can administer again, unless you have a doctors order to give another one or two, sooner. Why,...

    Chin up replied to sbostonRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    They hire anyone with breath. Google them, there are 100's of jobs throughout MA. And more added daily. They fully train you though, so if you can do 6 months to one year, you are good to go. But...
