    Credentials

    Julius Seizure replied to phiir's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If it were, like, a lab coat that you wore while seeing patients, that would be one thing. But this sounds like its just a plain old jacket to wear when its cold outside. In that case, embroider it...

    Took a decongestant on the "Class B- Dr Approval Only" list

    Julius Seizure replied to Recovering_RN's topic in Nurses Recovery

    To me, this is such a shortfall of the entire system. I just dont feel that its right to group those two groups in together and treat them both as substance abusers. It doesnt address the real...

    To Be (Monitored) or Not To Be (Monitored)

    Julius Seizure replied to dianah's topic in Cardiac

    Our patients (pediatric CVICU) not only go monitored and with an RN, but ALSO a provider (NP or Fellow) must come too! Needless to say, many tests end up cancelled due to lack of providers available...

    Dysphagia/end stage dementia

    Julius Seizure replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I think a modified adult spoon would be appropriate for feeding residents who want to eat but have limitations and are better able to take in food with a spoon that is modified to be smaller to fit...

    Would you choose nursing again or another health profession?

    Julius Seizure replied to Abbr's topic in Nursing Career

    Not me. While I feel that the RTs are listened to and respected by the team where we work, I think that their patient loads are nuts and I would hate having to run from patient to patient covering...

    Hey nurses!!! WE ARE PEOPLE TOO!

    Julius Seizure replied to AspiringNurse23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Its this part that gets me. You sound like you want a gold star for taking initiative to do exactly what you are supposed to be doing. And the nurses are also doing what they are supposed to do by...

    What are the rules of what we can tell patients?

    Julius Seizure replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    What are the rules of what we can tell patients?

    Julius Seizure replied to NursingInChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like I am forced to be in the position of "breaking the news" to families all the time. Should I be? No, often the doctor should be the one updating the family. But if they don't, what am I...
