    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Julius Seizure replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Could you clarify, for my own understanding - do you mean to say that mentally disabled patients are treated under the same protocols as behavioral health patients? Belongings taken away, food...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Julius Seizure replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you can say "The patient verbalized understanding" (if they did, of course). If I wanted to be REALLY throughout, I could write something like, "Patient repeatedly asked RN and tech for a...

    Ethical dilemma- Administering medications to patients with TBI

    Julius Seizure replied to MissJessP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I want to start by saying that the scenario you have described is complex and that my input here is not going to answer what should be done. But I wanted to address the idea of a patient who can...

    Typical cellular data use in NS

    Julius Seizure replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    It actually IS redundancy. On purpose. Redundancy in systems acts as a fail-safe. OP didn't mean it was redundant in a bad

    Typical cellular data use in NS

    Julius Seizure replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    The kind of thing that you are talking about (charting and EMR functionality) for personal devices is generally limited. For nurses, its generally a device that they use for the shift and then turn...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Julius Seizure replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with your last sentence. I already thought that you probably did just about the best that you could have done in a situation like this, but with the additional info that you gave...

    A new one for me

    Julius Seizure replied to mrsfoster601's topic in School

    It's so crazy to me the weird limits that are placed on you school nurses. Can't give a kid a cough drop or salt water gargle without a doctors order. Maybe there's good reason and I just don't...

    Spouse vs. MPOA and feeding tubes

    Julius Seizure replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno. They might find that my dying family member accidentally pulled out their feeding tube when nobody was in the room with us.

    Nurses to The People: we did not fail you, you failed us.

    Wow, I wasn't a bright-eyed, gentle, loving soul even as a nursing student. Guess we balance each other

    Nurses to The People: we did not fail you, you failed us.

    Julius Seizure replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that nursing schools not enrolling enough people is the problem. Some areas have nurses coming out their ears and not enough jobs to go around. I believe that we are graduating plenty...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Julius Seizure replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    You are absolutely right. It is more than just "document the refusal and move on." Education is critical - and real education, not the "I said it so I could document that I educated". Sometimes the...

    Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    Julius Seizure replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    This doesn't ring true to me. Patients can refuse treatments. Are you saying that if I go to insert an NG tube on a patient and they say they don't want that treatment, that I am at risk of...

    Sorry to tell you, but the Dallas market is tough for ADNs. There are so many nursing schools in the area. My friend recently graduated with her ADN and had a very hard time finding a job. I would...

    Real world: Most syringes will only have markings to then 1/10th of an ml. Pretty tough to accurately dose more specifically than that. Likewise, its difficult to accurately give 1/5th of a tablet....

    Sign on room when pt dies for no more svcs. in room/ courtesy sign - do you have one?

    Julius Seizure replied to deweydecimal13501's topic in General Nursing

    I can't remember what our sign was. A tree? I think its helpful to have it say "Do not disturb". The generic, "See the nurse before entering" sign doesn't seem to cut it - I guess its become so...
