  1. Any Mormon/LDS nurses here? I need help?

    neuron replied to MaryFutureRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some churches, not sure about LDS, have services & Bible studies on other days of the week. If Sunday is special to you, I would advise to work a Mon-Fri job, or

  2. Amiodarone

    neuron posted a topic in Patient Medications

    Hi, I have been struggling with this medication. I understand that this med comes in 200mg (oral). Some pts take 200mg, some take 400mg. Anyway, it is a med to control heart rhythm right, for pts with...

  3. Does anyone ever get tired of people thinking Nursing is easy?

    neuron replied to Nsco2018's topic in General Nursing

    I've never run across this, but I believe nurses are easy to 'abuse'. Most people I've come across are respectful, I'd wonder how old these 'men'

  7. So much anger

    neuron replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe they just asked for a reason. Not saying no one was trying to help. When you're the so-called 'good' nurse, you still get fired, appear before the board, dirty laundry hung for everyone to...

  8. So much anger

    neuron replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I believe that the one's who criticize are the ones who couldn't find a job like you had, the one you and others (so-called) ruined by your diversion or other behavior. Then you turn around get a...

  10. Loss of a patient

    neuron replied to SMS1980's topic in General Nursing

    These comments seem a bit harsh. This is a student. First compressions, first death. My first patient in nursing school died, and she was A&O x 3 the day before, we come back for clinical and...

  11. People In Pain

    neuron replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    The pain meds that you are speaking of such as controlled drugs schedule II, Norco, Fentanyl, Morphine Dilaudid, I believe the prescription is only good for 30 days (no refills) or a short amount...

    neuron replied to kevinm23's topic in General Students

    The word 'nursing' needs to go. It needs to be nurse tech or something like that. It is really a unisex

    So my patient had a terrible fall last week. She ended up with a broken wrist. I go in today and notice HUGE bruises (with what appears to be hematomas on her back). She has already been to the doctor...

  14. Patient had terrible fall

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    This was an in home visit. All good answers, but she is on anti-platelet and anti-coagulant medication, x ray would be appropriate but wouldn't there be a concern for blood clotting d/t

  15. Licensed practical..what?

    neuron replied to nursienurse18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Interesting how some EMTs act towards LPNs. They have been rude in my facility but in the end it is my call. My pt is unstable, get him out of

    Hi, I understand that this med comes in 200mg (oral). Some pts take 200mg, some take 400mg. Anyway, it is a med to control heart rhythm right, for pts with s/s of A-fib? Can anyone explain if there is...

  18. when to give Amiodarone

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an LVN, but I'm sure others can benefit. Both pts that I am referring to have pace-makers (so I suppose they have been converted), both on anticoagulants. I didn't want to disturb the pacemaker,...

  19. Amiodarone

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in Patient Medications

    Not sure I understand you, but I am referring to patients on this medication. I am inquiring whether to give it to patients when b/p is low. The two pts that I know are on it have hx of A-fib. They...

    Issue is what if you had to trouble shoot something in the middle of the night during med pass- G-tube meds. If the tube is clogged, you may have to find another nurse to help. Good if you can do it....

  23. Charles Cullen and Other Healthcare Serial Killers

    neuron replied to Kooky Korky's topic in General Nursing

    What is scary about this situation is that I'm the type to say "No, not that person, never!" However, if I ever did suspect anyone, I wouldn't wait a minute to turn them

  24. Licensed practical..what?

    neuron replied to nursienurse18's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    If it is a casual conversation I say I am a nurse. I did take the abuse of nursing school and passed the boards. But if in the presence of healthcare staff such as DON, BSN or RN, I identify as LVN...

  25. Rules for refusing assignment

    neuron replied to Cry_0527's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    If they had to use the unit clerk, this tells me they needed you for a different position. When I say sitting, what I mean is there is not much to that job, if you were a nurse you don't have 3 other...
