    Clinical drama-question about personal property

    lmccrn62 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    This is one of the most ridiculous and immature things I have seen. I thought this was nursery school instead of nursing school. I think you are acting childlike and unprofessional. You have a lot of...

    So, as a nurse it's my #1 priority to serve your narcs on a platter...

    lmccrn62 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Medications

    Very sad that you feel the need to label patients. Education in understanding pain and it's consequences is critical. Not all types of pain require a opioid. Learning about the types of pain will help...

    Nursing Assistant... My Thoughts

    lmccrn62 replied to IWANTCANDY's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    The best suggestion for your rude post is find a new career. I doubt you would ever find a place you are happy and it is apparent that you have nothing but disdain for human beings. I think this sad...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    lmccrn62 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    NPs will care for pAtients that MDs don't wAnt based on their insurance or lack of. There is no adversarial relationship to be made. This is a fact. I have a patient who needs to see a professional...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    lmccrn62 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am not so sure why you are ignorant any only think you are right. I have done my research and fully aware of what the MD has. First Wikipedia is Not a good source of information. My guess is your...

    lmccrn62 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    MD's do not have doctorates in the academic sense. The have a undergraduate degree. The rest is their medical school

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    lmccrn62 replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Usually physicians have bachelor degrees. Some have masters and it's usually a MHA or MBA. Nurses have a higher level of academic education then most

    ADN's being pushed out

    lmccrn62 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    There have been plenty of studies done. Writing papers in APA format shows the lack of knowledge and professionalism on your part. You can believe what you want but the literature supports the goal of...

    ADN's being pushed out

    lmccrn62 replied to MSN Student's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Why nurses don't expect more from themselves is beyond me. The research has been very clear for a long time that nurses with BSN that their patients have better outcomes including a lower mortality...

    Made a Med Error in Clinical.. :(

    lmccrn62 replied to kringkring5144's topic in Patient Medications

    Made a Med Error in Clinical.. :(

    lmccrn62 replied to kringkring5144's topic in Patient Medications

    Medication administration should not be taken lightly especially insulin which can result in a lethal error. As a clinical instructor I would be concerned about this as well. I had a student once tell...

    Chest tube flush

    lmccrn62 replied to sallyranisme's topic in Critical Care

    Nurses should not be irrigating a chest tube. This is a MD role. Probably why you don't see it anywhere. It's very

    Accused of withholding pain medication

    lmccrn62 replied to trucol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First your facility needs to review their use of Demerol. This is a medication that is used very rarely if at all. Poor pain medication. Yes you should have given the patient his pain med when he...

    Do you ever feel like we are contributing to the creation of addicts

    lmccrn62 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Medications

    Then she isn't being managed correctly. A good practitioner does the right thing and doesn't just feed opioids. I use adjuvants because opioids are not necessarily good for every type of pain. Having...

    lmccrn62 replied to Nola009's topic in Patient Medications

    Blue devil it would not want to ever be your patient. I don't think your views on prescribing are in the best interest of your patient. If you assess,monitor and have frequent follow up there...

    Narc count

    lmccrn62 replied to dubspot's topic in Patient Medications

    You didn't follow the policy. Two are suppose to count at the same time. The 3-11 nurse late or not should have never signed if she didn't count. You have opened yourself to a problem. Never think...

    Certification Boards

    lmccrn62 replied to FNPshihtzu's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Sorry to hear but you will do it. I studied by doing questions and then focus on my weak areas. I used Fitzgerald and Leik review books. I also studied mnemonics for what I had trouble remembering. I...

    manager refusing comp time, and other issues

    lmccrn62 replied to Dean7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First off, you must be paid for all time work and if you don't get a lunch they must pay you for that as well. They are violating labor laws. As far as ratios. Check AACN standards for progressive...

    lmccrn62 replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    Pregnancy doesn't mean your crippled. Very little you can't come in contact with. Your peers don't want to be stuck with all the stuff you don't think you should be around. Either suck it up or stay...

    Very little you can't care for being pregnant. Either you play along or you should quit. Being pregnant doesn't offer special privileges.
