    Kayauhs replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

  6. Doppler during Code

    Kayauhs replied to eastcoastrn586's topic in General Nursing

    Legally you should always stick with established protocol. Always think to yourself how would this look in court? Time wasted running for the doppler can be a real monkey bar for the right lawyer in...

    Kayauhs replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

    Ya, the nurses here that are for the oils have convinced a local doc to write orders to apply these, they put them ON THE CARE PLAN as a "treatment" for things like Alzheimer's!!! (I shake my head) I...

  14. Why Can't I Get a Job?

    Kayauhs replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    Yeah, I'm not seeing the ageism thing where I am at either. I left nursing to raise my children, was out for a long time. I would come on here and read page after page by people who said I would...

    Kayauhs replied to emmafleur18's topic in General Students

    These are EXCELLENT questions and this is where, "Reasonable accommodation" comes into play. There is no clear cut answer and the employer and the employee need to sit down and have an honest...

  20. RN with medical marijuana card

    Kayauhs replied to youenjoymyself's topic in General Nursing

    This will all boil down to the "CYA" theory of nursing and administration. From a purely business standpoint I would not allow anyone on my staff to use medical marijuana and still do direct patient...

    Kayauhs replied to beanrn1202's topic in MICU, SICU

    Don't do it. Do any of you remember the first week of nursing school and they instructed us to NOT WEAR PERFUME? What happened to that? 1). There are NO double-blind scientific studies to PROVE...
