    COVID-Positive Nurses Working: Irresponsible or Smart?

    Here.I.Stand replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wth no.... COVID+ nurses should be at home resting their bodies.

    2020-2021 influenza vaccine

    Here.I.Stand replied to JVBT's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Anecdotal story here, but I saw my PCP maybe 2 years ago because I seemed to get sick if I even thought about germs. I came back vitamin D deficient. I’m going to get rechecked because I’m...

    Reporting a Patient to Police?

    Here.I.Stand replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    You can research ODD if you want to gain knowledge, but I wouldn’t take it into consideration when deciding to report or not. It doesn’t matter. Thug’s defense attorney can choose to use it as...

    Reporting a Patient to Police?

    Here.I.Stand replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    If I would report it outside of the hospital I would report it inside. ACTIONS determine assault... not the location of the

    Holding diuretics, beta-blockers, and nitrate when there are no parameters

    Here.I.Stand replied to JJBookman's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds dangerous... the pt’s BP is normal BECAUSE they are on whatever BP med. Plus diuretics are frequently (usually?) not for BP but to avoid a CHF exacerbation... or a beta blocker can be...

    CNN: Abortion Performed on Wrong Woman

    Here.I.Stand replied to Alex_RN's topic in Nursing News

    My Korean ex-husband says the skinning alive thing is not true. Eating dog yes... and this is different than eating a pig or a goat

    Transition to bedside shift reporting

    Time for White Nurses to Stand Up

    Here.I.Stand replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    If this is happening in your workplace absolutely it shouldn’t be tolerated. Neither of my managers are white though so if that was an issue in my unit wouldn’t be able to point to

    Inappropriate documentation?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Emily Simmons's topic in General Nursing

    I took the OP’s use of the word “BLANK” was to avoid putting the real info on a forum. Not that she put blank spaces or whatever into the legal document. She said she made the note after...

    Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    Here.I.Stand replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Even if it was a typical routine human error “med error” that resulted in harm, I don’t compare that to the homicide of Mrs. Murphey... Not sure if you’re aware of the death of Kim...

    Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    Here.I.Stand replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Her recklessness resulted in the death of a woman... the very definition of reckless homicide. She doesn’t get a pass based on her then-profession. I think that NOT holding her accountable for the...

    How to handle patient’s threats

    Here.I.Stand replied to PeachTea7's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly... I don’t know this pt’s story but unless this is a new and minor thing (say, rolled his ankle when he got up to ambulated) I would offer the non-pharm things as an adjunct — not as an...

    That’s very true... you make very valid points there. I’m guessing Mrs Murphey would get swifter justice too had the reporting all been more timely and

    Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    Here.I.Stand replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The C-suite occupants didn’t kill Charlene Murphey..... their actions or consequences or lack thereof isn’t anything I would waste energy

    Killing them or helping them?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Fayren's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I don’t throw around “BON” lightly... but I would seriously consider reporting this nurse. Her practice is so egregiously abusive, I think the public needs to be protected from

    What is a reasonable nurse: patient ratio in ICU?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Kitiger's topic in Disaster Preparation

    What. The. ****. I’d be curious to see what happened to the HAPU, CAUTI, and VAP rates. I can’t imagine you have much (any??) time for basic nursing

    Is Assessing Gag Reflex Still a Thing?

    Turning a morbidly obese patient

    CVS Minute Clinic for physical?
