  1. Ebola - do you have the right to walk away?

    suzil replied to rnnina19's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My concern is not the protections I would take but those of my coworkers and the physicians. We all know coworkers that are extremely lazy with isolation precautions. Walking around the nurses...

  2. Will the Texas ED RN become a scapegoat in the Ebola patient discharge?

    suzil replied to preddish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    she more than likely had been vomiting and having diarrhea. She more than likely had traces on her arms, legs, clothing. He helped her when she was falling. Thereby touching her. Body fluids can...

  3. Will the Texas ED RN become a scapegoat in the Ebola patient discharge?

    suzil replied to preddish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am sick of the nurse getting thrown under the bus. We know the ED physician should have read her notes. However, the most common question of an individual coming to an ED with a fever and other...

  4. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    suzil replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    suzil replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    suzil replied to Esme12's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm scared thinking of the doctors! I know you nurses know many a doctor that refuses to do the proper thing when working with an isolation patient. This is going to be a

  9. Ebola research: Fever not a surefire sign of infection

    suzil replied to merilynRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course the hospital, the CDC is going to say the worker had a breach. How predictable to blame it on the nurse! The case has NOT even been investigated and they are already blaming the

  10. i HATE my job. Does anyone else feel the same?

    suzil replied to Jenni811's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I want out of nursing so bad I dread driving into work each and everyday! It is due to the changes in nursing and the micromanagement by individuals that are NOT nurses. How did this happen to our...

  11. Rules for Triage

    suzil replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency
