  1. Olivet Nazarene or Chamberlain MSN/FNP

  10. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

    Well Nina or Amber if you made it this far in the thread..probably not due to some "ME Shows". I hope for the best and I pray for your best recovery. You ladies are idols for going in knowing the risks and doing what you love.."Nursing".
  11. Bladder Cocktails?

    I didnt go in alone. Pharmacist came down explained it. There was an order set. Physician explained it but no one was clear on a good way to get it in. I figure a syringe of some sort may have been easier. I was just curious if anyone had here had th...

    Haha I second that level 2 trauma...morale is terrible..people are leaving to go to other states. They try to be motivating with posters and emails but we have been slammed with high census..low nurses..sorry i dont have advice but I can relate!
  18. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Actually Morte..not knowing the situation if they are involved with CPS and having to submit to drug tests. If they refuse or miss it is considered a positive. Every case is different though.
  19. Ever have a patient complain about you?

    Once no matter how nice I was to this lady. She said I wiped her too much. When she clearly had Cdiff. She said I threw pills at her. When I gave her choices on what to take her pills with to make it easier to swallow and placed them in her applesauc...
