    Patient safety and narcotics

    Pangea Reunited replied to jay082's topic in General Nursing

    It's not been at the facilities I've worked at. I carry things around for hours, sometimes. I admit it may not be the best practice, though, as there is a possibility of losing a medication. Luckily,...

    Patient safety and narcotics

    Pangea Reunited replied to jay082's topic in General Nursing

    When this happens to me, I hold the dose, but keep in in my pocket. When the patient wakes up, I give it right away and explain that I've been checking on them and have found them to be sleeping very...

    Healthcare is really business care

    Pangea Reunited replied to Rnhenri's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, healthcare is a business. People who complain about that fact are never willing to work for free, curiously. They want the facility to be altruistic while they collect as big of a paycheck as...

    Expecting a tough question

    Pangea Reunited replied to lkhrn's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't mention any conflict with a preceptor or medication errors. I'd gloss over that by saying that I was not at my personal best due to my preoccupation with my mother's health and the strain...

    plagiarism??

    Pangea Reunited replied to wolf9653's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would be irritated if someone copied what I wrote word for word. I doubt I'd complain to a manager about it, but I would probably ridicule the

    An Atheist Nurse in King James Hospital

    Pangea Reunited replied to EMSnurse411's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I used to work in an extremely religious hospital. There was a full church inside of it, prayers before meetings (which were held in the church) and even prayer schedules posted all over the place. It...

    Managing CNA's/Aides/Med Techs as New Nurse?

    Pangea Reunited replied to hollyspiller0253's topic in General Nursing

    A micro manager controls every aspect of getting from point a to point b. Most of us prefer to be told that getting to point b is the goal and allowed to find our own way

    Why does the BON charge to get "quick results" for NCLEX ?

    Pangea Reunited replied to healerbygrace's topic in General Nursing

    You're not paying for the piece of paper, you're paying for the service. I'm sure a lot of people do pay for quick results, so it makes sense to have all the results available and charge/not charge...

    Who comes up with the expiration dates for supplies??

    Pangea Reunited replied to AcuteHD's topic in General Nursing

    Needles expiring after a long run makes sense to me since they actually penetrate the body. My mind isn't processing the rest of it,

    Bullied by CNAs?

    Pangea Reunited replied to needsassistance's topic in General Nursing

    CNAs shouldn't have to be coddled and flattered to do their jobs. Nurses shouldn't have to guess why CNAs aren't doing their jobs. If a CNA feels offended with how they're asked to complete a task,...

    Pangea Reunited replied to Ankh's topic in General Nursing

    It can be a little better or a little worse, but it's never perfect. If you're lucky, AND you can prioritize well, AND you can be creative you'll make sure most of the people most of what they need...
