  3. Should drug diverters be prosecuted?

    Anonymous865 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    When someone diverts, they are probably breaking more laws than just theft. For example, they remove 2 percocets from the Pyxis, but only give 1 to the patient. They pocket the other....

  4. Go Fund Me for Co-workers?

    Anonymous865 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also have a problem with many Go Fund Me appeals. They often seem like people who don't want to live within their budget and plan for the future and then want the savers/planners to bail them

    Anonymous865 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  8. IV dosing question

    Anonymous865 replied to sl004a's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. IV dosing question

    Anonymous865 replied to sl004a's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Carefully read your question again. Does it say that you are supplied "Synthroid 200 mcg per mL" as you have above or does it say you have a 10 mL vial containing 200 mcg in that vial? I think that...

  13. LVN keeps personal notes about patients

    Anonymous865 replied to VegGal's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  18. Anyone get an email about student loan refunds due to fraud?
