  1. Just a Cog

    This is an afterthought, but I remember that the physician also said "We don't have these problems with the doctors. The doctors are very good." I wish the physician had elaborated on what the...
  2. Just a Cog

    My family member complimented a specialist in the hospital on the quality of the nurses (the nurses my family member had had up until that point were young, conscientious, and caring, one particular...
  3. Is it legal to have RN's use full name on badge?

  4. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    Twenty years ago in student clinical's we did our clinical prep the night before clinical, and spent the entire allotted time on the unit giving patient care. After clinical time was over, we went to...
  5. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    I have read on AN where students/new nurses have said that their clinicals consist/ed largely of observation. I also read of a student who reported that their clinical group spent a large amount of...
  6. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    This is one of the worst rationalizations for poor care that I have seen. Regardless of whether an individual doctor does this, it's still the nurse's responsibility to do a proper assessment, and to...
  7. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    This thread is about failure to assess, and false documentation, and the consequences
  8. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    But we're not talking about honest documentation, are we? Your choice to practice dishonestly. I don't/won't. And I do my best to protect my family members from care from people who practice...
  9. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    This is a great idea, but I have found it to be easier said than done. At the medical facility my family and I receive our care from, if one wishes to complain about medical care received one is...

  11. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    So you are comfortable with the reality that your false documentation could harm your patients? Charting dishonestly is acceptable to you because you believe doing so is necessary for your job...
  12. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    I just want to mention that although this can be uncomfortable to do, as nurses it is our duty to continue to advocate for our patients if a physician is not responding appropriately to our informing...
  13. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    No, but the rest of your words were not consistent with that "not OK." So I understood that you think it's not OK, but that you can justify it being done, for the reasons you
  14. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    To the OP, I have seen this too on occasions in recent years with my family members who have been hospitalized, I'm sorry to say. When I was in nursing school 20 years ago I was taught to always...
  15. So disappointed in hospital RNs and MDs

    So no proper assessment; serious problems are not caught and brought to the physician's attention; the patient suffers a bad outcome which could have been prevented, and that's acceptable? The...
  16. It is not just a case of being afraid of litigation, which is a real possibility if the patient is unhappy with the plan they select with your assistance, or suffers what they consider to be a bad...

    No-one expects a nurse to enjoy, for example, cleaning up diarrhea, but performing these activities with a good grace as nurses is part of caring for our patients. If a nurse cannot put themself in...
  18. Does it ever get better?

    I was surprised to read your words above. Did you really mean to say this? What disgusting things are you referring to? Do you mean actions that are within your scope of nursing practice? Are you...

    Ebola is a deadly disease, and a variety of ebola studies have given rise to differing opinions among noted scientists and infectious disease specialists regarding modes of transmission and incubation...
  23. Can anyone recommend a great ED/Critical Care Book

    Even though you said you are not looking for a drug guide, I still suggest a very comprehensive current IV drug guide if you do not already have one, that provides comprehensive information, i.e. drug...
