    Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    LilPeanut replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    "I didn't have diabetes before I was here, I'll need teaching." "Uh, you should be fine, it'll just be temporary." "But temporarily, I'll need to understand how to deal with this." "You just check...

    Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    LilPeanut replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    I loved the resident who, when rounding, stated confidently that despite the high dose steroids, I've not had blood sugar issues, so should be fine to discharge without any. "Uh, I've been getting...

    Social Media and Doxxing - Your Thoughts???

    LilPeanut replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    You can know what EMR they use without saying you work there. I know what EMR several hospitals use that I don't work at. And I know how to figure out if they use

    Nurses Charged in Deaths of 12 Nursing Home Residents

    LilPeanut replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I definitely agree - anyone the staff spoke to should also be charged and arrested. Yes, the RNs had more knowledge presumably about the patients and medical situation, but unless the RNs were...

    $200,000 salary as a RN, it's true

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

    Really, the houses here are more like >700k, but buying is not the best option for everyone. It's a lie we've been sold. Just have to keep repeating

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

    That is not the same as every illegal alien with no ssn can get free community college tuition, which is what you implied. It is intended for children who have lived in this country for their whole...

    Feedback appreciated

    LilPeanut replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Because it was on the MAR for more than one shift. Not being able to get an order in immediately, that's understandable. But many hours later isn't. I'm a provider and when stuff is crazy, some...

    Feedback appreciated

    LilPeanut replied to jinct's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, the doc should have discontinued the order, or placed in the comments that they needed to be contacted prior to administration. Especially since it has been on the MAR for more than one shift as...

    I know how to use public transport and used it while I was in Cleveland. To get home from the airport, I had to take the train, then get the bus. I needed to budget two hours for travel to the...

    To be clear, I love Ohio (O H I O) I am a two-time Buckeye and grew up in Columbus. But I remember needing to get my driver's license ASAP because I needed friends and parents to drive me

    The buses and RTA are more expensive and less extensive than public transportation here. Getting to a grocery store in Cleveland was not possible without a car. I lived in Shaker - the buses and...

    I have lived and worked in Cleveland Ohio, Houston Texas, and San Francisco CA as an NP since 2011. My pay didn't vary much between Cleveland and Houston. It skyrocketed with SF. My standard of...

    On Vacation - Would You Intervene?

    LilPeanut replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you please cite that case? Often cases are cited as excuses to not intervene, but when you actually read the case, it is not how it was

    Useless Shift Report Information

    LilPeanut replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    My sarcasm meter is not functioning well tonight; I hope that was a joke, right? This is an issue for NP providers too. At night, I am often carrying 20-30 patients, the vast majority of them have...

    Address change violations!?

    LilPeanut replied to allisonleigh122's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Dude, if it were a big deal to forget to notify the board about an address change, there would be a ton of nurses losing their licenses. It's more that it is a liability to you. If there is a problem...

    On Vacation - Would You Intervene?

    LilPeanut replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I choose that because most ICU RNs have had little to no experience with women's health I would think. I guess I would take the age into account too.

    On Vacation - Would You Intervene?

    LilPeanut replied to RobbiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Going back to the original questions: I would always offer on a plane. IMO, the best case scenario is that everyone with medical training will offer and you can discuss amongst yourselves about who is...

    RNs giving patient lab results.

    LilPeanut replied to Dperez201's topic in General Nursing

    And patients who are getting serious or life altering lab results should not have to wait once those results are back. The provider should be there promptly to give them. The a reasonable delay would...

    RNs giving patient lab results.

    LilPeanut replied to Dperez201's topic in General Nursing

    That's a whole different situation. I would not give info like that on a patient I was no longer caring for, as an NP or RN. And patients can misunderstand and misconstrue what we say no matter what....
