    Hospital-based CMs: how do you explain your role to patients?

    Julius Seizure replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Case Management

    "Transition out of the hospital when the time comes", I like that.

    Revived when there was a DNR/AND code status

    Julius Seizure replied to ambersky004's topic in General Nursing

    True, but each shift should also be checking for correct arm bands as part of their daily (or nightly) routine. That way, if it falls off...or was never put on in the first place..., someone will...

    Jahi McMath "What does it mean to die?"

    Julius Seizure replied to Christy1019's topic in Nursing News

    Hmm. When I read that, it sounds to me like the grandmother is saying that they would have withdrawn life support on Jahi, even believing she was not brain dead...if they weren't busy fighting with...

    Gastric Decompression?

    Julius Seizure replied to BFly85's topic in Gastroenterology

    Agreed. Its hard to say why the medical team ordered it or anything else without knowing the patients condition and what they are being treated for. If this is something that is being ordered a lot...

    Have you had issues with Alaris pumps

    Julius Seizure replied to tallynurse's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    YES. I see nurses load the tubing in wrong all the time....you can tell when its in wrong, but many nurses don't seem to think that it makes a

    Revived when there was a DNR/AND code status

    Julius Seizure replied to ambersky004's topic in General Nursing

    I highly recommend that you submit a report on this situation, using whatever incident reporting system that your hospital uses (they seem to have different names everywhere). Risk management needs...

    Bored, Trying to figure out what to do.

    Julius Seizure replied to deej394's topic in General Nursing

    OP, how about if you tell us some of the aspects of your job that you enjoy and find the most satisfying? It sounds like you already have considered trying out the ICU and decided that didn't sound...

    Hospital-based CMs: how do you explain your role to patients?

    Julius Seizure replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Case Management

    Thanks for the response! I definitely inform the family/patient of those things as well, but usually when I said "My name is Julius and I am the nurse case manager", I am met with a blank stare....

    overusing GLOVES

    Julius Seizure replied to liluiass's topic in General Nursing

    I recently freaked out the other nurses by touching (bare-handed) the fontanel of a newly-born infant who had been dried off but not yet given a thorough bath. Apparently it had "gunk", and I was...

    Pharm tech access to medical records

    Julius Seizure replied to _Esrun's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My guess would be that they can see all, because if I ask if my other prescription is due for refill, they pretty much always respond by butchering the generic medication name and then telling me when...

    Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    Julius Seizure replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I know that when I was a new grad, I had that sort of thing totally ingrained into me....and then when barcode scanning came along, it was second nature to make sure that what I saw when I...

    Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    Julius Seizure replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Correct, and that is why I check with parents, name band, off-going nurse, etc. to confirm patient identity when I assume care. Thereafter, barcode scanning provides electronic confirmation that the...

    The right position? I'm coming up empty on what this could be in reference to. If a med is supposed to be given with the patient in a sitting

    Sometimes the five rights make us look dumb

    Julius Seizure replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Being in pediatric ICU, many of my patients aren't able to tell me their name and DOB...they are either sedated, or infants, or sedated infants. To me, in my world, the "right patient" part of giving...

    gender "issues"

    Julius Seizure replied to rac1's topic in Psychiatric

    You understood my point perfectly, elkpark. I noticed today that the hospital EMR system at work has been updated, and the demographics bar at the top of the page no longer says just age, sex, date of...

    Vitals question

    Julius Seizure replied to Amethya's topic in School

    This is my big concern for you, Amethya: You have been trained in all of these tasks, but aren't sure when to do them or what to do with the information (i.e. when is over-reacting). You shouldn't...

    Cost Of School

    Julius Seizure replied to doodlegirl2013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Unfortunately, I don't know exactly where you would find the information. I had a friend become a CRNA this way a few years ago and that's how a know about it. Maybe speaking to HR at your local VA...

    Cost Of School

    Julius Seizure replied to doodlegirl2013's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    The VA provides full scholarships to a small number of nurses every year. You don't have to be military; you just have to work for the VA and be willing to attend their program. There is no...

    Peg Tubes

    Julius Seizure replied to FloweryMound's topic in General Specialties

    You can put any liquid into the bags. Its just a bag and tubing. Have to manually do what? Flush with water? I'm not sure what pump and/or bags you are currently using. Kangaroo bags only fit...

    At what point can I no longer work as an ED tech?

    Julius Seizure replied to Autumnm33's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Some states do not even issue physical licenses, so that is definitely not the correct answer. If you have a license #, you are an RN. It is up to your hospital policy if you can still work as a...

    Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses
