  4. have you had an abortion?

    KMSRN replied to cutecat's topic in Ob/Gyn

    By this time your decision has probably already been made but if not, put yourself 10 years down the road and think what would be important to you. Sometimes in the stress of the moment we take the...

  5. I have an interview, and need some advise

    KMSRN replied to niksemtmom's topic in General Nursing

    "I have an interview, and need some advise" - the word is advice. "I even have my suite jacket and pants already" - the word is suit. Make sure you carefully check grammar and spelling on any resume,...

    KMSRN replied to Witheney's topic in General Nursing

    Dying is not the absolute worst thing - some people come into the hospital to die. An agonizing death might be the worst. Or being resusitated to a persistent vegetative state. I think one of the...

  9. Horrible breach of personal confidentiality!

    KMSRN replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

  12. compartment syndrome-did I cause it?

    Phenergan works well for a lot of people. It needs to be given correctly and I have seen many nurses push is fast and undiluted - hence the need to restrict

  13. compartment syndrome-did I cause it?

    KMSRN replied to Lynn RN ER TX's topic in General Nursing

    First of all it is "Sentinel" Event. Usually they are not looking to assign blame to one person, it is to investigate the process and see where improvements can be made to avoid a repeat occurance. It...

    KMSRN replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    the biggest problem in my mind is not the sexual harrassment (although that is an issue). i think this guy is potentially dangerous. if your manager or hr won't follow up, i agree with calling the...

  15. Male coworkers harrassing female staff...

    KMSRN replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    Your husband should have nothing to do with this. I assume you are a grown up woman. And it is not a good idea to send him a letter. But document each incident - date, time, place, circumstances, what...

  16. What do you think about dating your coworkers?

    KMSRN replied to BGSUstudent's topic in General Nursing

  18. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    KMSRN replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    It is euthanasia if the Pt dies one minute before they would have with out intervention and a Morphine drip of 2mg hr continuous will eventually build up to a dose that is not safe. I agree with the...

    KMSRN replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    That may be. I can only speak from my knowledge and experience. I would be interested in where your "from what I have been given to understand" knowledge comes

  20. My best friend in nursing school was ordered to terminally sedate a stroke patient.

    KMSRN replied to Love767's topic in General Nursing

    KMSRN replied to Clarvina Streisand's topic in General Nursing
