    Which of these labs should be done for all new admissions?

    Jory replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I hope that isn't a real question. Labs should only be drawn and focused on what the patient complaint is. To do anything else is just running unnecessary labs and wasting

    Nurse told me to give Medication

    Jory replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    ...no she didn't do the right thing by leaving it on the table. If she felt that strongly about not giving the meds she should have picked them up and handed them back to the nurse. If you want to...

    Expungement: Reality check.

    Jory replied to SuzieVN's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    ....but what I am saying is that it depends on when your conviction took place and no, the state agencies do not sell the information. The people that sell it is the background investigations...

    Nurse told me to give Medication

    Jory replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think this is an over-reaction. "Giving meds" and "handing over meds" is not the same thing. The CNA didn't pull the med, didn't verify the med, didn't bring the med in the room...the nurse did. I...

    Nurse told me to give Medication

    Jory replied to Purple93's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with this as well. This happens ALL the time in the LTC's here. Many meds need to be given on a full stomach and it's easier to hand them to the CNA if they are assisting with a feeding so...

    Is Becoming A NP Worth It?

    Jory replied to 8mpg's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    The RN's in my area with about five years experience are making about $25.00 per hour. I have had several friends that have got jobs as new NP's that got jobs right out of school in the $80-85K range...

    I am SO mad.

    Jory replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Unfriend her, keep quiet, and she has enough rope to hang herself. What she did was a HIPAA violation...the mention of the name wasn't necessary. She listed the facility, the gender, the fact she...

    NICU Nurse Needs Advice

    Jory replied to southeRNsally's topic in Pediatric

    I started working straight out of school in a Level III unit, so it can be done. However, I can tell you that maintaining those infants in a Level III is a major difference from simply stabilizing and...

    Pediatric Trach/Vent Issues PLEASE HELP!!!!

    Jory replied to NurseBarbiRN's topic in Pediatric

    If you cannot figure out what to do, do what you would do in a hospital...call the on-call respiratory therapist. There are several reasons why the alarm can be sounding, the worst of which is that...

    What's the biggest mistake you've ever made as a nurse? What did you learn from it?

    Jory replied to Mini-Murse's topic in General Nursing

    Biggest mistake I ever made as a new nurse is with IV fluids and I saw nurses that started behind me, make this mistake over and over again. It could have been fatal, but luckily the odds were with...

    Starting Nursing school with a criminal record!?

    Jory replied to FranciscoMireles's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I can tell you right now what my state will tell you: They won't give you a decision until you apply for licensure. What the school says doesn't matter, they don't grant your license and will be...

    Suzie, in all due respect, I know for 100% fact that what you posted varies greatly by state and how long it has been since the incident occurred. I have direct knowledge of how these databases work...

    Jory replied to bleverett's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would wait....just because you are reported doesn't mean the case will go anywhere. Anyone can make a mistake...I personally know of a pharmacist that killed a patient because he mixed an IV...

    Walden University - the latest on the FNP program

    Jory replied to msa9179's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Keep in mind, their "advisors" are not what you think an advisor is. They are salespeople and I have got more than one inaccurate answer from them, which is why I didn't choose to go there. What...

    Sexual Orientation Question

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

    You are partially correct. The problem with that thought process, is some groups are at a higher risk than others. IV drug use and Hep C...go hand in hand. If someone has Hep C I am also going to...

    Why can't nurses intubate?

    Resignation not going well. Advice?

    Clinical Instructor Sharing Information from My Journal

    You are viewing this the wrong way. Nothing you write for school and turned in should be viewed as private anyway....remember that. As a student, you are not yet experienced enough to know that what...
