    Hospitals That Hurt Good Staff's Morale

    Here.I.Stand replied to rnsteph87's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Dang... I’m glad you have an exit plan! It’s in our union contract that ICU nurses don’t staff the floors; after all the floor nurses aren’t able to float to the ICUs when WE are short. We...

    Vocera Easter Eggs

    Here.I.Stand replied to taz628's topic in General Nursing

    I once apparently logged in as a Forrest Gump. I have no idea how it happened... I was walking into a ?storm, said my name and didn’t pay further attention. A while later after calling my charge...

    ICU approach vs Floor nurse

    Here.I.Stand replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And just to be clear — I don’t deny a man-child pain control or try to “punish” him. However I have said “You didn’t get shot in your ARM” if one whines “I need someone to feed

    ICU approach vs Floor nurse

    Here.I.Stand replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dang... like NICU Guy said that is dangerous! Plus I personally would NOT want to have the inevitable “conversation” as to why I woke somebody up by jamming a needle into them. I am an ICU...

    Nursing Intervention

    Here.I.Stand replied to Lux Mee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I’m sure there are several here willing to help you — just not DO it for you. Tell us what your thoughts are and we can maybe help tweak them. Looking at the case study, what data stands out as...

    Need some advice. Asked to do pedi nursing.

    Here.I.Stand replied to Nurseygirl.2010's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably thank her for her trust, but you’re not looking to add a second job/add to your caseload at this point. I wonder if there would be conflict of interest issues with your agency too,...

    What are your perspective on Mandate Fairness?

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

    Who the **** thought that was a good thing to put in a union contract?? Sorry, that wasn’t your question. I don’t work anywhere that thinks mandatory OT is a reasonable staffing practice....

    Difficulties interpreting in casual conversation with patients?

    Here.I.Stand replied to kik220's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For anything even remotely assessment or medical related, we MUST use our facility’s interpreter services options. We have in-person, iPad, and telephone language line options — I list those in...

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

    I’ve never seen it for scheduled neuroleptics though, or ASA which usually isn’t even given for pain. That seems like the kind of foolishness that takes us away from pt care... including actual...

    Do I have to disclose mental illness

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

    But, if your MEDICAL diagnoses — be they DM or lupus or PTSD — don’t make you a danger to yourself or others, it’s really none of their damn business. It’s ridiculous that we push for...

    Case Study: Magic Mushrooms as Medicine? Mind-Body Connection Pt. 3

    Here.I.Stand replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Little problem with advocating for hallucinogenics... they’re illegal. It’s not even in our scope of practice to recommend legal drugs... no way would I ever consider recommending illegal ones....

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

    Well the ACLS drugs are useless without compressions/defib.... even defib needs to be paired with compressions — the brain needs that blood circulation until the heart can provide it. Years back I...

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

    The problem I had pre-ICU, was it was impossible to do in 30 minutes. It was an LTACH where we typically had 4-5 pts on days and 6-7 on nocs, and LTAC pts are typically very complex. We routinely...

    The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    Here.I.Stand replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I’m all for autonomy — so long as the physician has the autonomy to refuse said assistance. I’m also all for opting for comfort care. But euthanizing someone who isn’t able to make the...
