    What's the meanest thing a patient has said to you?

    Jory replied to fangirl's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was once speaking with a family member for an HOUR on the phone that was being particularly abusive for no reason. I can't give more details without identifying it. I live in a southern city and...

    DNP by 2015- official retraction?

    Jory replied to SHGR's topic in General Nursing

    It was never a requirement it was a recommendation. The problem is the state boards of nursing have to require it and to my knowledge, none of them have made this change. As long as your students are...

    NPO with NG tube, no IV fluids?

    Jory replied to jrbl77's topic in General Nursing

    'In fairness, you didn't give her a chance to review anything and she may have had orders to start something. If his intake through the feeding tube is adequate, I don't see the point in an IV as it...

    Pinning ceremony

    Jory replied to nursingfornurses's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Ours does the pinning for all of the MSN programs and the FNP's go last. After they do the pinning, they do the white coat ceremony for the FNP's and then the blessing of the hands for

    Are my concerns.....

    Jory replied to studentFNP16's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Look at it this way. At a public college or university, most programs are around $35,000. That is the price of a high-quality used car. She can pay that off, easily, on an NP salary in 2 to 4 years....

    Unplanned extubation while on orientation

    Jory replied to tictac's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    There's the problem. Most NICU's do a daily X-ray to check for ETT placement. When the ETT is inserted, you need to check in report for the following: 1. The date of insertion. 2. The measurement...

    I'm an Adult-Gero NP, can I become FNP?

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

    I would do the PNP. Seriously. It will take you the same amount of time, give you the pediatric component and you will be specialized in that area. I see no point in doing the ANP and the

    Stuck with dirty needle by fellow Nurse!

    Jory replied to swan77's topic in General Nursing

    They need to interview every single nurse in the department and find out if she said this. If she did this on purpose, she needs to be fired, reported to the Board of Nursing, and reported to the...

    Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    Jory replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    The only people I have ever heard of in my life bashing nurses is physicians and other nurses. NOT the general public. Nurses, according to the Gallop poll, has been listed as the #1 most-trusted...

    Ever discussed sexuality with peds patients?

    Jory replied to TekkenDanser's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I didn't want to say it like you did, but I 100% agree. I see no point to this type of research. I think a better research question is how do you assess for sexual abuse in children that young with...

    Ever discussed sexuality with peds patients?

    Jory replied to TekkenDanser's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    The LGBT is not a lifestyle. Eating organic, is a lifestyle. People who exercise regularly, is a lifestyle, but LGBT is not. The reason it is not because it is not a choice any more than you have a...

    advice? asked to go home during shift

    Jory replied to artreid's topic in General Nursing

    Are you kidding me? You gathered the supplies (which you are supposed to do), followed policy and waited for your preceptor and your preceptor and manager is flipping out over it? Jeez...that would...

    IV push failure - how I am failing

    Jory replied to Brandazzle1's topic in Patient Medications

    Wow...seriously...wow. All nursing schools teach you look up medication or find out how to look up the policy. All of them. It is on your NCLEX. If you have a new RN that doesn't know that they...

    IV push failure - how I am failing

    Jory replied to Brandazzle1's topic in Patient Medications

    This is incorrect. I worked in a unit where we routinely did this with IV flush syringes and as long as you labeled it and said EXACTLY what is in it, date it, time it, sign it, it is absolutely...

    Spin off: what is a reasonable sick call policy?

    Jory replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Find out what their "send you home if you are sick" policy is. My facility will ding you if you call in, but doesn't ding you if you go in and they send you home. So yes, I have went into work with...

    Nursing Career After Reprimanding

    Jory replied to 1jacque's topic in General Nursing

    I really think that some of these violations should not be visible after X number of years. The violations need to be rated. Granted, I understand the BON's issue with trust and forgery, but Jesus,...

    Immunization records

    Jory replied to Hfro's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    The hospital I was born in was shut down and they told me it would be 4-6 months to retrieve my records from archive. I had my immunizations repeated. You don't need ALL of them, just the ones that...

    Jory replied to bookwormom's topic in Patient Medications

    The office I worked in we gave a MOTHERLOAD of Metformin. We always wrote for the extended release..there is a huge difference between regular Metformin and the XR. We started everyone off on 500 mg...

    IV push failure - how I am failing

    Jory replied to Brandazzle1's topic in Patient Medications

    I disagree. If she passed her boards, she was taught to look drugs up before giving them. IV infusions OR pushes. You don't rely on the preceptor for this. If there is a protocol, it's written...

    IV push failure - how I am failing

    Jory replied to Brandazzle1's topic in Patient Medications

    I'm not trying to be mean but seriously...this is basic nursing. If you are doing a lot of guessing and winging it, then yes...you are unsafe. None of us graduated with a drug encyclopedia and...

    Observed an Unconsented surgery performed

    Jory replied to mochilover's topic in Operating Room

    Ovarian cyst removal is necessary and it depends on what kind of cyst it was. There is a risk in anesthesia. I worked for a surgeon and procedure like that is routine among other things and yes it...

    Methadone and NAS- from a mom's perspective

    Jory replied to MamaAndDoula's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    They don't drug test them here after they are discharged. The mothers here know they are under the eye of child protective services and the sooner they get the baby home the better. So some...
