  9. MDs should obtain & have patients sign consent

    jb2u replied to riley50's topic in General Nursing

    You are saying the same thing that I am. I am saying that the doctor must give the information, but the nurse is there, as a pt advocate, to ensure that the pt is informed. So if the pt says something...

  10. MDs should obtain & have patients sign consent

    jb2u replied to riley50's topic in General Nursing

    It is the doctor's job to get the consent. It is the nurse's job to ensure that it is informed consent and not just signed. I have seen docs get the consent and the nurse usually asks if the pt has...

  12. What can we do to change this to prevent errors?

    jb2u replied to cafecreme's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are saying. There is also nursing judgement. Would I just scan a med for say HTN and give it if my pt is 80/50 or give dig without checking a level. My point is "text book" IS...

  13. What can we do to change this to prevent errors?

    jb2u replied to cafecreme's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it IS our responsibility to give the right med; however, it is a proven fact that IF nurses did everything that they are suppose to do by law then there would literally NOT be enough...

  14. What can we do to change this to prevent errors?

    jb2u replied to cafecreme's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Emmanuel Goldstein on this one. Adequate staffing!!! The nursing force is huge. We could in a very short time make this change; however, many nurses continue to complain, but do not get...

    jb2u replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I agree. I do not do WW myself. I just follow along loosely with their "guidelines." The idea is that you don't have that many points to waste on that cake. So, if you want it, you have to earn it...

  20. question about BP in clinical skills exam

    jb2u replied to Little*Mami's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    When I took the test it was required. There is a reason for the estimate. After you get the estimate, you are suppose to go 30 above the estimate. So, if you got 140....you would pump it up to 170....

    jb2u replied to bubblyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that leslasic was saying to cut the cath where you put in the water, NOT where the urine flows out! You know where it makes a "Y". Maybe I am wrong, but I think that is what leslasic
