    Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Norubit15 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Sad to say, but hardly anything would surprise me anymore. These people who feel the need to post videos related to their workplace and of patients of those organizations are so very inhumane, immoral...

    I’m in trouble with DSD at work and it’s killing me that I could be fired

    Norubit15 replied to uniteddemclub's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hello! I am sorry you had a bad experience at work, and were worried for your job. I am hopeful that you got answers early this week. It doesn't sound to me like you did anything wrong,...

    Nurses Fired For Viral TikTok Video

    Norubit15 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely stand behind the dismissal of the nurses. How incredibly unethical and uncompassionate! What I really find incredible is that FOUR nurses at this facility on the same shift were doing...

    Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

    Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you. I realized when reading your post that I left out FOC, "father of child." This was fun for me because I don't work in this area, but for many others that do, they may have thought it...

    @Trixie Adelaide, For grins and giggles, I have decided to try and decipher some of this. Okay, so going back a bit in my learning, here's my take on it: I know that G stands for Gravida...

    Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

    @klone, MSN, RN, This Acronym salad is a whopper! Haha. I am sure if I worked in your area of expertise, it would make perfect sense. I believed I learned all these terms once, but you know...

    Was labor induced or not? How can I tell?

    Norubit15 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for the clarification! I think the word "spontaneous" is confusing. The dictionary definition is "performed or occurring as a result of a sudden inner impulse or inclination and...

    Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Norubit15 replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that, but I feel that the nurse could have just told the officer that she suspected he had been drinking and then let the officer use his own judgement on what to do next. I suspect the...

    Did She Violate Patient Confidentiality?

    Norubit15 replied to 0121Mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I feel that PHI has been violated. The patient did not give consent. I understand the nurse was concerned for the patient and the community, however she could have just stated that she...

    Difference between Level I Med Aide and Certified Medication Technician

    Norubit15 replied to sandykay65's topic in General Nursing

    HI there, It didn't look like you had an answer to your question, so I will give it a shot. From what I understand, both the Level 1 Medication Aide "LIMA" and the CMT courses require one to be a CNA...

    Norubit15 replied to nodaknursey701's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Go to your State's board of nursing website, there may be a link on I.V. Certification. Many schools offer I.V. Certification courses as stand alone for those not presently certified. I work with a...

    Hi. Thank you for your reply. Yes, we have door gates and alarms in use for some of the door ways. That does work for some wanderers, but some have figured out how to manipulate the velcro and/or...
