    iv infiltration help

    Julius Seizure replied to JaxJax5423's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think in pediatrics, infiltrates are sometimes not "caught" as quickly as they could be. Some complicating factors: -In peds, you dont automatically change IV sites every few days. You generally...

    Personal Values as a nurse

    Julius Seizure replied to ksurette's topic in General Nursing

    Personal Values as a nurse

    Julius Seizure replied to ksurette's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Julius Seizure replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sentinel event

    Julius Seizure replied to Jordym919's topic in Patient Medications

    Do you still have to do dosages math by hand as an RN now?

    Julius Seizure replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    Should have added....when its complex, I still need to understand the math enough to know if the answer makes sense. Like what if I fat-finger the calculator and hit the decimal point, or an extra...

    We have a med + supply cart in each patient room. Nurses and other caregivers with a need-to-know are able to access the drawers with a keycode. Otherwise the cart stays locked. All the carts have the...

    Do you still have to do dosages math by hand as an RN now?

    Julius Seizure replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    Sentinel event
