    RN as patient in own hospital

    Jory replied to shazzrn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    We had a charge nurse fired from our facility for "verifying" (on her own, without authority) that someone that called in was in the ER at another facility in our system. She accessed the chart...

    "Baby Friendly"

    Jory replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I agree that donor milk is a better option, but if mothers are not ok with this (and I would wager, that the majority won't be), then the solution is formula. IV drugs, are hard on the liver and our...

    Online BSN-DNP Programs

    Jory replied to Ashley Peds RN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Many schools have dropped the MSN program and only offer a BSN to DNP in anticipation, if the requirement every gets passed. Personally, I would do the MSN and DNP programs separately. That way you...

    First case - infant with g-tube

    Jory replied to notyetnurse's topic in Private Duty

    First of all, I want to applaud you for making the right considerations. You really need to go to RN school :). That's a compliment. Other considerations are going to be: 1. Make sure the baby has...

    Coworker having access to my password and charting

    Jory replied to CorinneRN's topic in General Nursing

    There is nothing wrong about a late-entry, so I don't understand the rationale. We did it with paper charting (simply noting that it was a late entry) and with electronic charting, it's automatically...

    "Baby Friendly"

    Jory replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    So, as a mother, you would prefer your baby to scream in hunger, get a NICU admission if your milk isn't in, and stuck with an IV versus

    "Baby Friendly"

    Jory replied to aerorunner80's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    No offense to any Lactation Consultants out there, but it's the LC's that are driving this nutty practice. Someone who has been smoking weed and allowed to practice came up with the idea that the...

    Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    Jory replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    There are certain things that are proper in this world. For example, it is not proper for a woman to wear pants to a "black tie" event, no matter how dressy they are. You have never seen "wedding...

    Is it presumptuous to have your steth engraved RN when you're a student?

    Jory replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

    Ok, let's not exaggerate. Yes, get it engraved with RN..it will give you an incentive. Then...take a small piece of colored tape and fold it over the "RN" portion. Take it off when you graduate....

    no random drug testing

    Jory replied to modernhippie_'s topic in Nursing Career

    Dude...I'll be honest with you. If drugs are so important that you try to find a job so you can keep up your habit (no matter how long it's been since you have engaged)...you have a drug problem. The...

    Nurse understaffing associated with higher rates of NICU infection

    Jory replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The unit that I used to work in has significantly increased the nurse/baby ratio and then then the central line infections, which had been a once-a-year occurrence, starting happening every week. Do...

    number of IV starts

    Jory replied to acenab4jc's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Here is our policy: 1. Two sticks per RN 2. 5 sticks PICC placement 3. All babies get UVC's on admission UNLESS they think the baby will be on full-feeds in 3 days. NNP's do all the PICC placements...

    Calcium Gluconate

    Jory replied to SweetMelissaRN's topic in Emergency

    I have received calcium gluconate because of an imbalance issues I had due to a health problem. The nurse didn't dilute it enough and I had to stop her mid-administration because it was INCREDIBLY...

    Difficult orientee

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

    ...one more thing...I would give her ONE more opportunity to correct herself. I would sit her down and say, "Ok, we need to talk." I would be as gentle as I can. She may not understand that your...

    Difficult orientee

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

    I'l be honest...be more concerned about her attitude than her skills. Nursing schools vary DRASTICALLY. I wasn't taught to read EKG's...I knew the dangers of oxygen, but I couldn't tell you what was...

    guns, knives and students...Any thoughts, comments or safety suggestions?

    Jory replied to lkulmann's topic in School

    I just want to note that my objection is not firearms in general. My objection is to ANY high-capacity firearm...there is no purpose for them in our society other than with authorities. They are...

    guns, knives and students...Any thoughts, comments or safety suggestions?

    Jory replied to lkulmann's topic in School

    In a war, yes. They are on their own. That is why they are famous for remaining "neutral", because if they get into a conflict, they essentially have limited means of defense. I have never been...

    Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    Jory replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I have made two medication errors...one was due to inexperience and one was when I was in a hurry and skipped one of my "checks". Neither was serious, I never even got wrote up for them. However,...

    HIV Testing without Consent

    Jory replied to kennybania's topic in General Nursing

    I don't consider HIV testing any different than any other test. We don't sign consents for CBC's, or other labs, so unless there is a law in your state that says that you have to? He can order any...

    False Positive TB Test?

    Jory replied to Stella_Blue's topic in General Students

    We can't give medical advice, but you can Google images of a positive TB test. That should give you an idea of what a true positive looks like. If it doesn't look like the pictures, don't worry about...

    I never said it would end violence, I said it would cut down the number of deaths. Here is the difference...6 dead versus 26 in a few minutes. The USA ranks #1 in three things: 1. Gun manufacturing...
