Hello- I've heard some clinics have RNs mixing Chemo. Is this within the Nursing Scope? Is there a website I could go to to support this idea that it's legal for nursing to mix chemo in stand alone clinic in California? Thank you in advance. RNview

Does any one here using EMR for Oncology? As an Oncology Nurse, we need a cosignature from a 2nd RN. Now that we have Electronic Records, we kind of use the term esignature. As far as I know, esignature requires a user name and a password. If you jus...

Thanks for the confirmation :-)

I work in Med/Onc. We have medical patients mostly but not limited to Pneumonia, MI, CHF patients. Then we have oncology patients. Our manager sends new nurses to a chemo certification class after 6 months of hire date. I love where I work. I also st...

In our hospital, we check a lot of things before we hang the chemo. It has to be double checked by the 2nd RN who is also chemo certified. original order VS MAR VS Chemo Tag Patients Full Name Patients Medical record/ Account Number MD's Calculation...

I work in the inpatient and we also have our own pharmacist. In our OUTPATIENT they check everything at once for EACH patient. One time, when an OUTPATIENT RN floated to our unit, she double checked all the 3 chemo for the same patient all at once wi...

Thank you guys. I work in the inpatient and usually we check one chemo at a time. When I first started working there, there was no policy whether we check the pump rate too. One time, a nurse from the infusion center worked in our unit and asked anot...

I would love to have 2:1 ratio for First induction of Rituxan. In our unit, we have 5:1 no matter what. This is crazy at times, especially when there's no charge nurse around to help out. It makes me want to cry sometimes. No matter how good I am wit...

I hope you feel better. I know it's not easy to get an ASAP appointment with the PCP. If you don't feel any better, just go in the ER. For the meantime, take care of yourself and get better :icon_hug:

I totally agree with you with every thing you said! I was one of those lucky ones who had only one preceptor and it made a huge difference. One of my friends who started at the same time had 4 different preceptors and she was totally lost. She misse...

It is not worth a penny. Precepting is not for everybody. I've been doing it longer than anybody else in our unit. I like doing it, but it wears me out too. Honestly, this past few months, I asked my manager to give me a break until next year. Some o...

I precept and get paid. There were classes offered before (when I was on vacation). I never took the class, but I'm still precepting and getting paid. For a long time, I was the only one precepting then I get tired and asked my manager to assign some...

Not a lot of people where I work compliments anybody when I started working there. From the management down to the housekeeping. It was so sad 'coz everybody works hard, and not even a little word of appreciation was said. I decided to show them that...

Where I work, we always tell them the risk of having it and the advantages of having it. Risk of infection is our main concern and we teach them how to care for it at home. He may shower but he has to cover the PICC line with a plastic bag so it wont...

1) Medical Oncology = we take care of Cancer patients as well as Medical patients. All registered nurses on the unit are required to participate in a chemotherapy administration certification course and must maintain ongoing edu...

We have some hospitalist who does that. What we do is we page the house supervisor and she works a miracle! This same hospitalist doesn't even want to hear any suggestions from the nurses. We also have an on-call oncologist. He usually works in a dif...

Our manager is very strict about it. She throws away every drink she sees at the nurses station even if it is one of the doctors drink. On the weekends, we all have coffee mugs at the station and nobody throws it away. Then comes the week days and we...

I was orienting a new nurse in our floor. We were on the bedside and I was showing her how to use our accucheck machine. I said to her "...then it will ask you for a code. Just like this one (6), so you have to press sex". Another embarrassment on my...

We don't use colored arm bands for code status. we have a code status form in the main chart which needs to be addressed by the MD upon admission. This form has a yellow copy in the bottom which goes to the bedside chart once signed. At the beginning...
