  1. Coronavirus-Are we ready to talk about rationing care?

    Susie2310 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I believe there is an untapped resource in the community - licensed nurses who, for their own reasons, are not currently working as nurses, but who would like to work in a hospital during a crisis to...

  2. Quarantined Nurse’s Scorching Anti-CDC Rant Goes Viral

    Susie2310 replied to MunoRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    You are asking why are we "wasting" tests on the general public, our patients, who are not health care workers? They are our patients and in order to diagnose and treat them effectively we need to...

  3. Do Not Compare COVID-19 (Coronavirus) To Seasonal Influenza

    Susie2310 replied to 42pines's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In regard to your OP and to your other comments on this thread, what is your opinion of the data that has been collected/publicized so far and the analyses of the data, including your...

  4. Do Not Compare COVID-19 (Coronavirus) To Seasonal Influenza

    Susie2310 replied to 42pines's topic in Disaster Preparation

    42pines, it seems that you have significant education/training in statistical methodology and epidemiology. Your OP says that you specialize in Occupational Health, and I recall your OP also says...

  5. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    Susie2310 replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    I think it means "Traumatic

  6. Cutting Clothes: ED SI/HI pt

    Susie2310 replied to bigldiesel's topic in General Nursing

    One problem is that the use of chemical restraints and/or physical restraints is not risk free for the patient. Some patients have been harmed by them, and in some cases patients have died. There...

  7. Case Study: Unexplained Bruises

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Please could we know: CBC especially Hgb, Hct, platelet count; creatinine; BUN; urinalysis; who Ann lives with; who her primary caregiver/s are; what her normal routine is; who are the people that...

  8. Terrible experience with nursing staff

    Susie2310 replied to guest1074638's topic in General Nursing

    I know someone who has been told that Medicare will no longer pay for a specific type of medical care I.e. this person no longer qualifies to receive a particular type of medical care that they had...

  9. My Visit to China: Could This Be A Reason Why Coronavirus Started There?

    Susie2310 replied to Gadsale's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's pretty obvious you like to quote logic and statistical methodology, but the OP was expressing their opinion based on their experience. The OP wasn't writing a scientific paper and didn't claim...

  10. Stressed out about overnight urine output

    Susie2310 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    The OP provided good information, but without seeing the patient, assessing them, knowing their medical history, reason for admission, current medical problems including recent labs, etc. we are...

  11. Stressed out about overnight urine output

    Susie2310 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    I want to add that if the patient had been hypovolemic after the day long diarrhea, especially if they already had kidney problems, this could have resulted in Acute Renal Failure and anuria. I think...

  12. Stressed out about overnight urine output

    Susie2310 replied to Ioreth's topic in General Nursing

    Reading the OP it sounded to me as though the patient was in Acute Renal Failure after having diarrhea all day long; if so, I think this could explain the lack of urine output overnight. I think it...

  13. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Susie2310 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    The OP stated that the MD progress notes said that the daughter was upset but that he informed her that the nurse had called him and that he was en route to see her when the OP called the Rapid...

  14. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Susie2310 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean to be rude, but I don't see the necessity for this comment. I posted politely and respectfully and I believe I have the right to expect the same from other posters even if they don't...

  15. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Susie2310 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    The time from the onset of the incident to the Rapid Response was 27 minutes as reported by the OP. As I am understanding the situation, it would have been appropriate to call a Rapid Response...

  16. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    Susie2310 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    What was the threatening behavior and what threats were made by the patient's daughter besides the fact that you found yourself backed into a corner by them? You said that they were aggressive. This...

  17. 9 Types of Manipulative Patients

    Susie2310 replied to J.Adderton's topic in General Nursing

    Given our ANA Nurses' Code of Ethics and our role as the Patient's Advocate, I think more is expected of us as nurses than to label patients who behave in ways we consider unreasonable. When we label...

  18. Assualted by psych patient

    Susie2310 replied to Udmert's topic in Emergency

    I want to add after further reflection that I think that the idea of nurses, as part of the healthcare industry, filing criminal charges against patients or initiating civil lawsuits against patients...

  19. Paternalism in Health Care

    Susie2310 posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Paternalism is basically defined as decisions taken on behalf of the patient by health care providers without the patient's consent from the position that the health care provider knows best....

  20. Assualted by psych patient

    Susie2310 replied to Udmert's topic in Emergency

    I don't think this situation has a simple answer. Some people have made the point that psychosis or otherwise altered mental status at the time the assault is committed against the staff member should...

  21. How long to run a code?

    Susie2310 replied to smary8055's topic in Critical Care

    As I read the OP he/she appears to be talking about in-hospital cardiac arrest not out-of-hospital cardiac

  22. Code Blue: Just Trying Figure Out What Happened?

    Susie2310 replied to Binz's topic in General Nursing

    100% agreement; the only problem is that once the elderly patient with decreased physiologic reserves gets there (even when brought in promptly), even with sepsis symptoms - elevated temp,...

  23. Nurses calling POA to notify

    Susie2310 replied to NurseB96's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if this varies from state to state, but I can confirm that in my state a DPOAHC form that I am familiar with gives the patient's designated Agent the right to examine the patient's...

  24. Let me hear your perspective...

    Susie2310 replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    We don't know all the facts of the situation and I agree that a review is appropriate. Unfortunately it is possible that the patient received inappropriate care. The care pathway for acute ischemic...

  25. Let me hear your perspective...

    Susie2310 replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    We are not told that a neurology consult took place in the ED; it appears to me that this was warranted. If the patient had had an embolic stroke there is a care pathway. If the patient was being...
