you done it how i would have done it, and you have a responsibility now to educate those who do not know how to do it right, show her the evidence you have based your practice on you cant have her running lose on the ward getting things so wrong! x

hi, I'm new here but it looks really good :) I'm just wondering, a lot of people are describing their working environment and venting, asking advice etc which i think is great...however i recently got told off by another forum/site for asking for advice and explaining a nursing situation, i didn't name names or say anything that isn't common knowledge on all wards, however they said i was risking my registration and should delete the post or i could be struck off! I have seen people on here post much more detailed information and just wondered what boundaries and things their are and is it ok to talk about work? I said that our ward/team has had a few drug errors and was asking how other wards deal with it as we are struggling to find a solution and that patients often distract us during meds rounds..i also said we are short staffed and its being ignored, is this ok? I'm confused.. Thanks, hope i can join the site and not get fired in the process!

i definitely need wound care training, i have to dress and clean self harm wounds regularly and have really no idea what i am doing but remember from nursing school (the one hour class is all we got) that if you get it wrong you can make things worse, also i would like to be able to advise patients how to care for their own wounds and know that I'm telling them the right thing..I've thought this for a while...we 100% definitely need wound care training...
