    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You are assuming I didn't read them. I read them. You are wrong. You can shout it from the rooftops all you want. You are still wrong. I suggest you look up the criteria for reckless homicide in...

    What do ER's hire more: PA-C, FNP or ACNP ?

    Jory replied to treejay's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    FNPs in my opinion, are working outside of their scope of practice by working in an ER or as a hospitalist. They are primary care, not acute care providers. There is a big difference. We have an...

    Ok TEXAS NP's, wake up and smell the coffee!!!

    Jory replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I live in a rural community as well, not every primary care office here has x-ray technology in house and they send all of those patients to the ER to be evaluated...the PHYSICIANS send them...if...

    Ok TEXAS NP's, wake up and smell the coffee!!!

    Jory replied to MikeFNPC's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    CNMs can get an ultrasound certification. This includes interpretation limited to their patient population. If you have a certification vs no certification, I don't see how that would apply. In...

    How many of you disinfect car after work?

    Jory replied to PHC-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you just bring a bag to work with a chance of clothes/shoes and wash your hands and change your clothes before you get home. Toss the bag in the

    How to be a Perfect Nurse

    Jory replied to mtnNurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    Nobody expects nurses to be perfect, but what you are expected to do is follow policies. They are written for a reason. In every unit there is always this small group of nurses with the "I'm not going...

    What if/Is it possible?

    Jory replied to CollegeStudStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Probably. I honestly think many well-seasoned LPNs could do

    Kangaroo Care Policies

    Jory replied to TeenyTiny's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I have seen more than one intubation, lines pulled out, etc...no matter how careful you are, from Kangaroo Care on infants on ventilators, etc. Especially with an extubation, it is traumatic for all...

    CNM and WHNP dual program

    Jory replied to FutureNP357932's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Only benefit...saves a looooooooong conversation.

    Is $85k worth it for BSN program with no guarantee acceptance?

    Jory replied to nhayes1984's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't pay that if Florence Nightingale was teaching the course. That will be the biggest financial mistake of your

    Choosing comfort over challenge, am I a bad nurse?

    Jory replied to Superbabes's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Critical care isn't for everyone. Does your NICU have a step down? You can see if you can apply for that if they do. There isn't anything wrong with how you feel, but I do feel you need a little bit...

    Do You Still Believe These 6 Shingle Virus Myths?

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

    I have actually never heard any of these

    Pain management in nursing

    Jory replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Treating patient's pain is a top priority for me as a nurse and many nurses do it poorly. In patients that are not verbal, they don't look for outward symptoms of pain. This is something hospice and...

    Desperate and need advice

    Jory replied to injured1's topic in General Students

    I'll be honest, you sound a little childish. You actually want them to accommodate your sleep schedule. They are not going to do that nor is an employer. I would talk to the pharmacist about an...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Have you even read the CMS report? Not read the news stories, have you actually pulled it up? If you think this nurse made only ONE mistake....she didn't. That is why she is being charged with...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I cannot support this measure. This was not a simple mistake this nurse made. She willfully bypassed not one, not two, but MULTIPLE steps of safety that directly caused the death of this...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    My theory (because we don't know) is that she didn't even look at the package at all because she had it in her head she was giving versed. If she was certified, who would give a paralytic without...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If she didn't know she had a gun in her hands the patient would still be alive. Guns have ONE purpose they are designed for...not what people sometimes use them for, they were designed to kill. They...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that case is different. None of us were taught to euthanize patients in the event of a natural disaster. It is not legal to do so. In the end, common sense prevailed and all were cleared...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It wouldn't have prevented it in this particular case because she never scanned the drug to start with. I don't blame the hospital at all. Someone else posted at this particular hospital, the drug...

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Jory replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be honest, the biggest bullies out of all of the APRNs are the CRNAs if you really want to know. The OP isn't being arrogant at all....she is simply clarifying her training/expertise. I have...

    I think I'm gonna quit nursing

    Jory replied to ChooSoul's topic in General Nursing

    Bedside nursing isn't for everyone but that doesn't mean you have to quit nursing. Feel free to PM me, I can help you find another area. There are some areas of nursing that you couldn't write a...

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Jory replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I originally answered "no" to whether she should be charged but now I am not so sure after reading more of the articles. Someone else nailed it, she's being charged with reckless homicide, not...

    Is this insubordination? How do I deal with this PSW?

    Jory replied to guest1048932's topic in General Nursing

    The reason no families have come forward is because if someone starts giving medical advice and acts like they know what they are doing, they are going to assume they are a nurse. This happened in an...
