    Brain death and refusal to remove life support

    Julius Seizure replied to Legaltrends's topic in General Nursing

    The family not wanting to remove life support might be THEM trying to be non-maleficent to the patient, because they don't understand or won't accept that their family member is no longer alive....

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Julius Seizure replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but I can understand who you used the terms that you did, since they seem to be what was used in existing literature. Example: Feminist Ethics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Great...

    Nursing School Needs Repair (And Why I Quit)

    Julius Seizure replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't lie, there are things that I wished were different about my nursing school - both undergrad and graduate. It can be really frustrating and even today I would say that I don't agree with...

    NIMV settings question

    Julius Seizure replied to Ladybug777's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I would read this as a pressure control of 14, and a peep of 5. If there was also a pressure support setting ordered, it couldn't be any higher than 9 because 5+9 = 14. Note that pressure control is...

    What's the difference between a nurse tech and a pct?

    Julius Seizure replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    They are often used interchangeably, along with "aide", "nurse aide", "health care tech/aide", etc. Basically, all are unlicensed assistive personnel. The difference between them has more to do with...

    A Feminist Approach to the Opioid Epidemic

    Julius Seizure replied to Issaiah1332's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I had never heard of the term "feminist ethic of care" until reading your article. It is an interesting concept, even if the terminology seems to rub me the wrong way at the moment. I'll have to...

    most non-caring branch of nursing

    Julius Seizure replied to nursingnurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm having trouble thinking of an area of nursing that isn't at least moderately focused on practicality. In general, I think nurses tend to lean towards being fairly practical and utilitarian,...

    Giving small volumes of IV meds

    Julius Seizure replied to LittleMermaidRN's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Yup, you can do that (push the med, then run the flush on the pump). Just remember that if the med is 0.4ml and your tubing is 0.8ml....you have to really think about how fast the med will be flushed...

    Does anyone really read all this charting?

    Julius Seizure replied to gypsierose's topic in General Nursing

    As the nurse who has your patients on the next shift after you go home, yes I do look at what you charted. Especially when a patient doesn't look

    Julius Seizure replied to K1203's topic in Case Management

    How did you get started as an educator? Did you have your DNP before starting, or were you an instructor first, and then got the DNP and advanced from there? I've always been interested in becoming...

    Julius Seizure replied to FutureNurse0201's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You could speak to the actual professor about this. I'm not sure why you are so eager to go over their head. I think the most respectful and professional thing to do would be to address it with them...
