    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with that assumptionargument is that she had no idea whether it was ordered stat either. She never looked at a MAR. She took a verbal order for a controlled substance from another RN...

    Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Right, and I live in a liquifaction zone, so earthquake insurance is not likely to happen for property. And maybe, for four years, but I'd still have to live somewhere in the meanwhile, which takes...

    If they were trying to keep this quiet, they likely kept their mouths

    Mine doesn't allow stat orders either, the nurse has to call pharmacy to send it

    Oversupply of Nurse Practitioners

    LilPeanut replied to guest416560's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I invest, but not in real estate here, which is a poor investment for your money, especially with the risk of earthquake. If you read more about the benefits vs costs of renting vs owning, owning...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Why would they mention it as a factor with her having dismissed it then, if it actually was a stat

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I believe she immediately went and got a new job at a different ICU at a different hospital. She was suspended there after all this came

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That's actually incorrect, it was loaded into the patient profile 10 minutes prior to the nurse attempting to remove it from the ADC. We know it wasn't stat because when they discussed the order, it...

    IS it easier as APRN to get hired in NYC or SF?

    LilPeanut replied to cahalana's topic in Advanced Practice

    I don't know - I would look at postings. Those aren't my specialties, I don't know about big people things,

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The versed was not a STAT order. Override represents medications that are needed in a code or emergent situation. (aka stat) All of those medications if not given properly can kill

    IS it easier as APRN to get hired in NYC or SF?

    LilPeanut replied to cahalana's topic in Advanced Practice

    Depends on specialty I think. You have to also adjust for cost of living. Cost of living in NYC is sky high too, but I don't think they tend to compensate as well for it as SF

    For-Profit NP admissions... I thought they were joking!

    LilPeanut replied to SummitRN's topic in Advanced Practice

    I technically do not have a BSN - I was a graduate entry NP student. Our "accelerated" program for sitting for boards was basically the same as the undergraduates took, except we had more clinical...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree. There was specifically a warning to not override outside of an emergency; there was no emergency. It may not have been uncommon, but that doesn't make it safe practice or ok, especially...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    LilPeanut replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    This is an interesting quote from the medication safety people. They are opposed to the charging of RV but arguably, overriding the pyxis in a non-emergency, without taking any safeguards whatsoever,...

    NG tube question

    LilPeanut replied to RNinCali15's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have - I saw a patient from another unit have an OG placed, no one checked position, they fed into it, accidentally perfed the R bronchus, pt. almost lost their R lung as a consequence. I would not...

    The Wrong Dose - A True Story of Medication Error

    LilPeanut replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I write incident reports always, and encourage RNs to do them too. Too many view it as being "written up", and some even try and use it as a way to "write someone up", but really, that's not what...

    What is most important to chart on?

    LilPeanut replied to Red_Diamond's topic in General Nursing

    @juan de la cruz I had thought about bringing up the same topic. It does not protect the nurse to chart just that the "provider notified" if there are truly concerning things that you feel need to be...

    What is Abandonment?

    LilPeanut replied to nycmoon's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    It is still effective and costs the hospital a lot of money and hassle. To walk out without having anyone to care for critical patients is essentially killing

    LilPeanut replied to Red_Diamond's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely agree that over charting is a possibility and bad. Especially if that double charting doesn't match

    Any RNs willing to answer a few questions regarding nursing?

    Please list your name, speciality, and how long you've been a nurse! LilPeanut (you're not going to get people to list their real names LOL) NICU, RN since 2007, NNP since 2011 What lead you to the...

    The Wrong Dose - A True Story of Medication Error

    LilPeanut replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I had an RX near miss - we had an order set for extravasation meds, and they had switched the order they were in before. I was discussing another patient whose condition was deteriorating when an RN...

    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    LilPeanut replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Oh I totally agree, plus it is still illegal federally. Just at least from my state, it would seem as though once you are hired, as long as you aren't suspected of coming to work impaired or using...

    Nurses Who Smoke Marijuana

    LilPeanut replied to NenaRK's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am amused at how the thread has evolved over the years. I'm in CA (pot is legal recreationally >21 years) and I can't imagine they would ever do a random drug screen here on large swathes - they...

    Consent Agreement Error

    LilPeanut replied to Boxer4dogs's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What time does the notice come? Since you gain 2 hours going to arizona, I'm surprised you either didn't have time prior to leaving if you didn't arrive until after
