  9. Ever caught a visitor playing with an IV pump??

    sjt9721 replied to TweetiePieRN's topic in General Nursing

    This might go against the grain, but I have actually shown some patients where the silence button is on the pump. I educate them about what's infusing and what may cause the pump to alarm. Then ask...

    sjt9721 replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

  12. maybe lawyers use doctors instead?

    sjt9721 replied to mariee's topic in Legal

    I think it all depends on the law firm. Personally I don't see a law firm shelling out the bucks to keep a physician on full-time staff. They usually choose to 'hire' one as an expert witness for a...

  16. exempt status for bedside RN's

    sjt9721 replied to thudson7's topic in General Nursing

    Instead of changing bedside nurses to exempt status, I think ljds has your answer: We *do* have a policy that states we cannot punch in early, unless it was specifically cleared by the nursing...

    sjt9721 replied to MGM33's topic in Nurse Management

    sjt9721 replied to rn29306's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

  25. Cosmetic Surgery Death after RN (not CRNA) Administered Propofol

    sjt9721 replied to stevierae's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA
