nursing?s

Just and update, I wrote the Dean to reverse the decision to kick me out, she denied my request. So now I'm appealing to the VP of my school, hopefully having someone on the outside looking in will help me. I talked to my fellow classmates and other people in the nursing program and this was never a policy that anyone has ever beed trained on and now they are going around to each class telling them about the "old" policy that they are now expected to follow. #ifonlynursingcreditstransfered

I purchased underarmor, cut the sleeves and sewed them to my scrub top so I wasent so hot, looks and works great!

No, we pass all meds, injections, Tx, etc. We only have to have Narcs cosigned, and insulin double checked. We are training to be nurses so they want us to do everything on our own, with supervision of course, so we know what we are doing when we get out there.

The MAR and then the NARC book. But her issue was me not having the MAR out and ready for her to see. I have done it this way all thru school without correction or complaint, if the nurse/teach would ask then I would get it but they have always said the only thing they were doing is verifying the count.

Yes, I checked the MAR and then the nurse on duty came and opened it to one of her clients while I was opening the Narc drawer and signing the Narc book. I had checked the front PRN page with the pain assesment and the MAR box to double check the time, and then the Narc book to get the med and triple check the time. The only issue was that I didnt have the MAR out ant ready for my instructor to see.

yes, at the begenning of my very first quarter I reported to the Dean of Nursing that one of the nursing instructors cheated in order to raise other students grades. I have had a target on my back ever since, because this is a very small school and all the instructors stick together. I have not given them one reason to do anything, and as I stated above I had been doing narcs this way since the beginning of school. I have met with the dean and she has a week to decide and I have also written to the VP of accidemic affairs in hopes I can get this taken care of within the next couple of weeks.

I' am in my last quarter of nursing and I was recently failed for my clinical portion 2 days from graduation. I looked into a MAR to see if a client could have a narcotic. Turns out the client had 10 min befor she could get it. The ten minutes passes and I go into the narc drawer and again double check the last time she had the medication and it was indeed time for her to get it. I signed the narc book and being a student needed a cosigner asked my instructor to cosign. She asked me where the MAR was and I told her it was in the MAR book. She said "so you want me to sign a med without having the order from the MAR? Its not safe!" and sent me home to fail the clinical portion and therefor have to repeat the theory and clinical portion next quarter. I'm fighting it but I wanted to know, has anyone else ever had a nurse/teacher co-sign a narc without the teach/nurse seeing the MAR first? As I thought the narc book only verifies the count I would always just have them cosign and then do my 3checks of the seven rights and administer the medication. Is/was this wrong or have any of you done the same thing? Thanks for your help
