  1. Is this considered falsification?

    Susie2310 replied to MommyRN89's topic in General Nursing

    It should state Late Entry with the date and

  2. Doctor upset by charting

    Susie2310 replied to LalaRN9000's topic in General Nursing

    Charting patient/family member comments that are not really central to the patient's care or to the patient's recovery can result in problems. We all make comments as patients/family members; we say...

  3. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Susie2310 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    In addition to the skills, it's the whole critical thinking part of nursing that's getting lost. Using the Nursing Process: Subjective/Objective assessment, nursing diagnosis, planning,...

  4. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Susie2310 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen what changes can happen when a group of students firmly bring their case before administration, especially when the media gets

  7. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Susie2310 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    Hello. You've been a nurse for 2.5 years. Welcome to nursing. I've been a nurse for over 20 years, ADN, BSN, ACLS, Certifications, Sigma Theta Tau; I don't bother with using credentials here because...

  8. Made a fool of myself to board of nursing rep

    Susie2310 replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    WOW. I just read the OP and his/her subsequent posts. No wonder you are confused and disappointed. I would be too. No, this is not normal, or desirable, but it seems to be what some BSN programs...

  9. Thank You Notes to Patients?

    Susie2310 replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I received a card thanking me for choosing the facility and wishing me well with my recovery, signed by various staff who I interacted with as well as some of my nurses. I appreciated the card and...

  10. Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    Susie2310 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this, and this is my experience

  11. DNR Turning Into Do Not Treat?

    Susie2310 replied to EllaBella1's topic in General Nursing

    I am not finding proof that the concept of medical futility and laws relating to medical futility don't vary by state. Can you provide a link? I disagree that there is not disagreement among...

  12. DNR Turning Into Do Not Treat?

    Susie2310 replied to EllaBella1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming that the concept of and laws relating to medical futility and medical DNR's would vary from state to state. The last I read there is no agreement among physicians on what exactly...

  13. Enteral Feed Rates

    Susie2310 replied to TheRuskie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work in pediatrics but my suggestion would be to see if the current AACN Pediatric Critical Care Core Curriculum contains this

  14. What Do You Think? Can You Be A Nurse If You Can't Do Bedside Care?

    Susie2310 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    As others have mentioned, one needs to be physically able to meet the demands of providing hands on care to patients (which is what the majority of nurses are employed to do) in nursing school. This...

  15. What Do You Think? Can You Be A Nurse If You Can't Do Bedside Care?

    Susie2310 replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    In reality it appears this situation has been happening for some time. It is not uncommon to read on this forum how students/new nurses clinical training/experience in nursing school didn't prepare...

  16. most non-caring branch of nursing

    Susie2310 replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    On the subject of that "different perspective" held by senior leaders you work with that is just as compassionate as any other floor nurse you work with; the "different perspective" I see most among...

  17. Medication Error

    Susie2310 replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    It's good to know what goes on. I will definitely make sure that next time I receive a vaccination in a PCP office I confirm ahead of time with my doctor exactly what medication they have ordered, and...

  18. Medication Error

    Susie2310 replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    While there may have been NO difference in tasks where you were employed, there is certainly a difference in legal scope of practice between you, the RN, and the MA. Also, you, as a licensed nurse,...

  19. Smallest gauge for blood draw?

    Susie2310 replied to KLouHerout's topic in General Nursing

    This is nice, but it would be actually useful to most of us if you could explain the physics concepts i.e. velocity, flow velocity, units of measurement, and calculations you referred to in your...

  20. Medication Error

    Susie2310 replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    Even if it is true in all/any states that physicians are not required to physically verify that the medical assistant has the correct vaccine/medication before the MA goes in to the patient to...

  21. Medication Error

    Susie2310 replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    I recently received a vaccination, and while the physician wasn't in the room when it was given by the medical assistant (nor did I expect them to be), I have reason to believe that the physician who...

  22. Medication Error

    Susie2310 replied to CMA-RN29's topic in General Students

    I'm curious as to how this error happened - doesn't a physician physically verify that you (as a medical assistant) have the correct vaccine/medication before you go in to the patient to administer...

  23. Family keeping Information from the Patient

    Susie2310 replied to gallor31's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think this post says it the best. Patients have autonomy and have the RIGHT to know. The only exception I can think of is if the PATIENT has told their family they don't WANT to know their...

  24. Family keeping Information from the Patient

    Susie2310 replied to gallor31's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sometimes the family are motivated (consciously or unconsciously) by their desire to avoid the inconvenience/other undesired effects that would result for themselves as a result of truthfully telling...

  25. Is aspirin a blood thinner?

    Susie2310 replied to ChloeLissa's topic in Patient Medications

    I've heard a cardiologist in talking to a patient refer to aspirin as a "mild blood
