  5. Vent about management......

    cally527 replied to nicenurselpn's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding management deciding which holidays the nurses will work, that will come back to bite them in the behind. Sooner or later they will make someone work a religious holiday such as Easter or...

  6. Bedside charting?! Is this the new norm? VENT!

    cally527 replied to RockinChick66's topic in General Nursing

  7. How Do I Help Them?

    cally527 replied to KatePasa's topic in General Students

  8. Do I Say Something When They Call or Just Let it Go?

    cally527 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

  11. Is this nitpicking or does the instructor dislike her?...

    cally527 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I do not think that it is nitpicking. The patient was supposed to receive 0.5mg of Ativan and the Ativan is available as a 2mg per mL solution. The math for the correct dosage is really simple. I am...

  18. Do you think I could get kicked out?

    cally527 replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges
