    Pre nursing student has a question for current RNs

    Emergent replied to HotSauce77's topic in General Nursing

    I agree @Davey Do. I don't have a burning desire to help people. Because I'm emotionally detached though, I'm tolerant of the humanity I encounter as patients. I'm with you on coworkers, they are...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I did make a small donation to help her through this ordeal. I'm curious, did she lack personal malpractice insurance? That sounds like a possibility. Of course she's presenting herself in the best...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    BONs seem very inconsistent. They'll dish out equal punishment to a diverter (thief) of opiates and someone who got a DUI 10 years ago, who hasn't had a drink for years. They wait over a year or more...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure the BON or the justice system is well tasked to deal with this type of incompetence. Apparently, over a year after this egregious error, this woman still has an unencumbered license and...

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't seen the immaturity you cite. This has been a respectful debate. I do agree that this is a worrisome situation and that nurses should speak

    Nurses Call the Governor of Tennessee

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I think the middle ground is best. Radonda should have her license revoked in my opinion. She has proven that she is incompetent. I think criminal charges will accomplish nothing. Let her train for...

    Destined to Be a Flight Nurse

    Emergent replied to skorupar's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I think you should modify your plan. Becoming a flight nurse is like becoming a rock star. There are a lot of great musicians who will never attain that dream. But, they love music, and find great...

    Needing Advice --- Work Environment?? Possible Switching Specialties??

    Emergent replied to carls23's topic in General Nursing

    Let me just chime in. Scheduling someone for overtime without their consent is totally unacceptable in my book. Management at your place sounds incompetent, desperate, and

    Measles

    Emergent replied to tining's topic in School

    So, I talked to our infection control nurse. She said the CDC does not recommend rechecking titers, therefore the hospital won't pay for it. She said that I am immune since my titers were positive on...

    How many of you disinfect car after work?

    Emergent replied to PHC-nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My car is chronically needing cleaning. My house is usually in decent shape, but the car tends to get dusty and a bit untidy. I'm in above average health so it's not a

    Nurse Charged With Homicide

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Our accudose allows us to search under either generic or trade. Pixsis should have a similar feature. It does boil down to gross negligence. She really ignored every commonsense safety precaution...

    What is your procedure for passing ice water?

    Emergent replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Humor? I hope you've done your mandatory online education on water policies and procedures young lady!

    Emergent replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    Of course. It's a requirement actually. The health department does a biannual audit to verify

    What is your procedure for passing ice water?

    We follow the highly complex, 20 step process, as mandated by 10 different regulatory agencies. The policy and procedure can be found on the

    DNA testing

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    DNA markers can fall off after a few generations. Just because it doesn't show up, doesn't mean you don't have a certain ancestor. I uploaded my DNA to a free service GEDmatch. It lets you do...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    For what it's worth, I researched this gal online. She and her husband have a 40 acre farm and raise hair

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Emergent replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is that she was one of those people who skated through school and her short nursing career by always cutting corners. The hospital probably liked her because she was a time efficient jack...

    You must watch me!

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    A new nurse to our unit seems slipshod with various things. Today, when I asked her to waste a narcotic she wanted to rush out of the med room without actually watching me waste. I said "No, I want...

    You must watch me!

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    In my ER everyone requests someone to come into the med room, and in real time watch us withdraw from the vial and waste. Thankfully, we go by the book. The one fellow who kept requesting after the...
