    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    5 rights of patient medication administration, when you're self medicating

    Emergent replied to brownbook's topic in Nursing Humor

    My ancient dog is on PRN Tramadol and Rimadyl. She's a gluttonous labrador, so all I have to do is put the pills on her food and she wolfs it all

    Wow embarrassed and really ticked off...

    Emergent replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Thoughts on stress

    Emergent replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

    Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    Emergent replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I've made it through my entire career without having a barbecue or dinner party for coworkers. Frankly, without anyone other than unaccompanied coworkers, your wife, at the very least may feel left...

    Nasty/aggressive patients

    Emergent replied to Kugrad2018's topic in General Nursing

    Nasty/aggressive patients

    Emergent replied to Kugrad2018's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to conjure up the scenario you described. A Powerball is a lottery ticket, correct? The person in question was irritated because you were on the phone? How loud were you talking? It...

    "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Somehow, "an 8 or a 9" is entirely different than "8 1/2". I get not wanting to commit to a stupid number. But giving fractions is a little overly

    The life or death squatty potty

    Emergent replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    In the ER where I work, there is a stool in each room. An ICU should be similarly prepared for an emergency. Maybe you can advocate for
