Hi everyone. Has anyone heard of American Mobile. The rep. has been calling me. Can you tell me about their reputaion, pay, etc. Thanks :) Jaycrue

Valium 20 mg as per withdrawal scale I've seen it given a max of 200 mg in 24 hrs. Ativan 2 mg as per withdrawal scale for clients with liver problems. and lastly we also give Thiamine injections one time or tablets 100mg for three days

How old are your dr.s? We use a variety of antipsychotics, I haven't given much less seen an order for haldol in about two years. Clopixol-acuphase or zuclopenthixol acetate 50-75 mg. Olanzapine IM 25mg and ativan IM 2mg we also have Respirodone IM in use

this situation seems to be a first for us, clients seem to use up the drugs before coming to crisis, Police officers on campus ha! I wish. Incident report was filled out though, I just hope the client was made aware that the drugs were disposed off or hopefully done in front of him! he might think we took it :rotfl:

we seclude first then call the Dr. Got a question: A client came in with a crack pipe and some I assume crack and cocaine (small bag) client was disorriented. what do you do with the drugs? I left work before they decided on what to do?

We are lucky in that sense, our Doctors seem to trust the nurses judgement, we usually give a verbal report over the phone and they give us a verbal order for seclusion and they sign it within 24 hrs.We also frequently recieve verbal orders for chemical restraints.

Our facility calls voluntary isolation either in a clients bedroom or unlocked seclusion "theraputic quiet" should the client decide to come out he/she should be able to contract safety and behavioural issues. If these are not met seclusion is used and a psychiatrist needs to client within the hour.

It would be great to have a business like that, I doubt alot of nurses would go for it, especially after NCLEX and CGFNS get all the money, not to mention our schools and CNO who ask for money to release our records as well! :angryfire Hey, what's on everybodys wish list for Christmas. I have my x-box and HALO 2 and my girlfriend says she's happy for now so everything is cool. How bout the rest of you?

Maybe it's time to take a break and utilize your employee assistance program should you have one. You need some counselling to deal with your anger and resentment.

Sounds like you have alot of unresolved issues

Is there an agency or service that could do all your paper work for you for a fee? Do all your follow up phone calls, and send all your paper work as long as you provide all your documentation Then they just give you updates? .... just me being lazy.... by the time we pay all the fees were broke...

My personal opinion; I suggest you work in a different environment one which will allow you to learn and grow, and develop confidence in your decision making. It would be great working in a familiar environment not to mention the staff, but to trully understand the change in position and responsibility you need to step out of whats familiar and take on a new challenge.

The money definitely, but for most it is only a means to something more altuistic and personal.

Welcome to nursing, Its gonna happen, I only know of a few nurses who claim they haven't had any med errors and all of them are in orientation :rotfl: My first med error was my first day at work! I didn't get fired but rest assured I never forgot my 5 R's after that, Do they still teach that?
