  3. My First Patient Death

    chrisrn24 replied to krisiepoo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    100% agree. You can hug the family and tell them you'll miss the patient but do not cry. This is coming from someone who can cry at the drop of a hat. You need to be the

  4. Classify as a Med Error?

    chrisrn24 replied to Skeeter19910's topic in Patient Medications

    Technically it was a med error I think. But I'm guessing you're not the only one who made the "error." I hesitate to blame anyone but the person who dropped the ball on transcribing the order. You...

    chrisrn24 replied to june2009's topic in MDS Coordinator Information

  9. When is your shift over

    chrisrn24 replied to joe007's topic in Emergency

    chrisrn24 replied to ceebeeRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  19. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    chrisrn24 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    chrisrn24 replied to EmilyEmily's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  24. Narcotic administration times

    chrisrn24 replied to _meow's topic in Patient Medications

    Good to know it's not weird. I can't say it's happened to me too much, maybe once or twice. Generally we have parameters with the pain scale so I just go by

  25. Are married women bullied less at work?

    chrisrn24 replied to EmilyEmily's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
