    I received an accusation on my license

    Glycerine82 replied to sonyarn88's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    So it seems like you're saying that you administered 12 narcotics over several weeks that all had verbal orders by multiple doctors and none of them were signed? How many doctors? In addition to...

    Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    Glycerine82 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    It needs to be stored in the med room fridge, but as far as pouring it goes it's no different than measuring out cough syrup or liquid narcs like morphine or ativan. It's a drug and it's no worse...

    Being Ordered to Give Whiskey

    Glycerine82 replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a SNF, but we give patients wine, beer, etc. all the time as long as the Dr. has said it's OK. We don't give it WITH the meds, but with dinner, etc. Can't you just space it out and give...

    Soon to be convicted felon

    Glycerine82 replied to Jron91's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I would never accept a felony that I did not commit. You would have to convict me and then deny every appeal there was before I would end my nursing career and ruin my life at the same time. I...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    Glycerine82 replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If the issue is content, I think you need to retake the program or switch gears to another area of science. 9 times is A LOT and many years have gone by since you went to school on top of that....

    Verbal Change in Code Status

    Glycerine82 replied to littlelamb's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In most LTC settings you'd still have to call 911 and have them sent to the hospital, as far as initiating CPR I'd call the MD as soon as I heard the patient say they didn't want to be resuscitated,...

    Double Briefing

    Glycerine82 replied to CuriousCNA's topic in General Nursing

    It's considered one of the seven types of abuse - neglect. Patients who are incontinent need to be changed and cleaned ASAP, and a barrier cream re-applied, in many cases. If the two briefs are...

    CNAs give medications

    Glycerine82 replied to Beaue's topic in General Nursing

    Med techs make me nervous. Our meds come on roll packs for the most part, so each pill is in its own sleeve and they are all attatched, arranged by time and date they're due. We just pull them out...

    New CNA Anxieties

    Glycerine82 replied to rbuzztu's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Watch the seasoned CNAs and learn from them, take bits and pieces of things you observe and find what works for you. Understand that not all of your patients are going to like you. That's just the...

    Glycerine82 replied to Tjaq15's topic in General Nursing

    I believe its more common for them to test baby if there is suspicion and in hospitals where it's standard procedure. They need consent to test mom, but they don't need it to test baby. If your friend...

    Can there be labored resparations (not agonal) with a pulse??

    Glycerine82 replied to 1CAnursepain's topic in General Nursing

    Just saying, LPNs are more than capable of administering CPR and determining if it should or shouldn't be given. At my facility, the RNs aren't more or less in charge of patients unless they are...

    Pain medicine to drug addict?

    You didn't do wrong, you did right. Just because someone has a history of drug abuse doesn't mean we get to deny them pain control. Unless the patient doesn't want the drugs, (some recovering...
