    Super_RN replied to sweetcheekers's topic in General Nursing

    you need to put your health first. if you put it off, then you will continue to put it off to where it will eventually become an urgent thing. i've been there, done that, and then on my 2nd repeat...

    Super_RN replied to Semantics's topic in General Nursing

    Funny patient names by nurses

    Super_RN replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    Merrily we signed all the paperwork and it wasn't until days later that I realized what I had done. You see my middle name is Raine, making her Haley Raine. I guess it's better than Sleety Snow. So...

    What has happened to simple, basic care???

    Super_RN replied to barefootlady's topic in General Nursing

    diluting I.V lasix

    Super_RN replied to ADN2003's topic in General Nursing

    Just want to clarify my previous post. I dilute if I have to give 20 mg, for the simple reason of better control of pushing slow. I find it easier to push 4 ml slowly compared to 2 ml. Never have I...

    diluting I.V lasix

    Super_RN replied to ADN2003's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, it just depends on the ordered dose. Sometimes I dilute it, sometimes I don't. Some people may not agree with my answer. My best advice is to see if there is a P&P at your facility....
