  1. Do Rns Clean The Urine And Bowels

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Dashing's topic in General Nursing

    Many of those folks in the offices aren't nurses, they're MAs. And if they are RN's they went to school and in school, like all nurses, they probably had to clean a patient. Sorry to say, there's no...

  2. Do Rns Clean The Urine And Bowels

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Dashing's topic in General Nursing

  3. NPO for labor?

    MS._Jen_RN replied to 2curlygirls's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't work in L&D or OB, but my question is: if the MD's stated reason is "in case of CS", what about those folks who come in through ER for trauma or such and need emergancy surgery. They...

    MS._Jen_RN replied to jack19's topic in General Nursing

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

  9. HH-have you ever been attacked?

    MS._Jen_RN replied to texas_lvn's topic in Home Health

    Sorry to sound litigous, but I would have called the police and filed charges and I would have considered taking action against the agency. That man had no right to act the way he did and the agency...

  10. HH-have you ever been attacked?

    MS._Jen_RN replied to texas_lvn's topic in Home Health

  14. Crazy night...

    MS._Jen_RN replied to vamedic4's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the OP, but in our facility we would have called a "code green". That would have brought an ICU nurse and an MD running. (As opposed to a "code blue" in which all the assorted...

  15. Giving a talk tomorrow to first semester students

    MS._Jen_RN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad that you are able to share your story. Too often there is a feeling that "it won't happen to me" or "No one I know would do that". My Aunt is a well respected RN who, along with her surgeon...

    MS._Jen_RN replied to Galvatron1's topic in General Nursing

  21. OASIS in home care

    MS._Jen_RN replied to susannyc's topic in Home Health

    I've been in home care about a year. My understanding is that you should record what the patient can SAFELY do. If they can only safely take a shower when someone is present then that's what you...
