  2. Thank You

    Susie2310 replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    Often the space for listing allergies is not very big and room is not provided for patients to list medications they may experience sensitivity reactions to (as opposed to actual allergic reactions),...

  3. You think the "Nursing Glut" is bad now?

    Susie2310 replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I think some people are suffering from a lack of education/intelligence. Quite simply, medical assistants do not have the education and training nurses have. To respond to your example of passing...

    Susie2310 replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    MunoRN, I'm not quite clear as to what you are saying in regard to the California BON interpretive statement on the "5th vital sign" law. Would you be willing to

    Susie2310 replied to Howardhughes's topic in General Nursing

    Please correct me if I am wrong, but from previous posts on AN I understand you are in your early thirties and do not have spousal/family obligations. Some people have mentioned on this thread that...

  6. How much is too much morphine?

    Susie2310 replied to Neomikeyboy's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Did you happen to know the particular advance directive and the wording in the case of the individual you mention? Perhaps there were details in the case of this person and their family that you were...

  7. emergency prepared

    Susie2310 replied to rayea's topic in Emergency

    Esme brought up a very important point that most of us are not prepared for or trained to give emergent care in the streets. Years ago, before nursing school even, I remember my first responder class...

  8. Should I Go to Med School?

    Susie2310 replied to contentment's topic in Nursing Career

    My suggestion is to carefully research the differences in education and training of a physician versus a nurse practitioner. Also research physician scope of practice versus nurse practitioner scope...

  9. New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Susie2310 replied to PA_RN87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    May I politely (I address other posters politely, even if I disagree with their posts) point out that I was replying to Altra's post. If you re-read my reply to Altra and consider it in the context of...

  10. You know you've been a nurse too long when...

    Susie2310 replied to wooh's topic in Nursing Humor

    You've just taken your car in to the auto repair shop and the tech is asking you, "What other symptoms is your car having?," and you're conscientiously describing all the details, and then you suggest...

  11. Everything is our responsibility. Rant.

    Susie2310 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurse's work is very necessary and vital but not generally very valued by employers or sometimes by other providers. As I see it, and in my experience, employers and (sometimes) other providers (note...

    Susie2310 replied to kak85's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is my thought

  13. New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Susie2310 replied to PA_RN87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had read several posts on other threads that refer to the quality of RN clinical training having decreased, but I was still shocked to read on this thread of some people's nursing school clinical...

  14. Family Members/Patients Who Write Down Your Name

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

    Just continue to provide good care and don't be defensive. Often, especially in the case of close family members, the family is just trying to understand the care the patient is receiving and take...

  15. trach question

    Susie2310 replied to greygirl81's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am an RN and if I had a question related to my scope of practice that I could not find a clear and specific answer to on my state Board of Registered Nursing web site, I would phone my state Board...

  16. New grads being rushed into "nursing maturity"

    Susie2310 replied to PA_RN87's topic in First Year After Licensure

    From reading these boards it appears that many current ASN/ADN students are older students with work/life experience and often have previous degrees, and that many ASN/ADN prepared nurses were older...

  17. analgesia before cardioversion

    Susie2310 replied to mrnewman's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I find this philosophical argument that you say some doctors are having, very disturbing and unethical. What is important, surely, is avoiding causing unnecessary human suffering. Just because the...

  18. New Nurse Pain Med Question

    Susie2310 replied to ricksy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Administering medications safely is critically important. In regard to Dilaudid or any narcotic, I would definitely always check the patient's blood pressure, pulse, respiratory status and LOC,...

  19. Older workers that are new grad nurses, please explain.

    Susie2310 replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
