    casi replied to SanDiegoCaliRN's topic in General Nursing

    I will use my phone occasionally. My facility has one hard to use medication book and staff nurses have no access to the internet. So once in awhile I will use my phone to look up information. I only...

    casi replied to NurseCard's topic in General Nursing

    Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    Patient fell and died a few days later, was it my fault?

    casi replied to GlitterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would have done the exact same thing you did in this situation. When someone has to go making them wait for a BSC when they are refusing a bedpan is a massive dignity issue. I agree with the...

    casi replied to agldragonRN's topic in General Nursing

    What are you measuring for when you pull a PICC and what are you comparing it to. When patients come to the TCU I work we very very rarely have records of PICC insertion so we really don't know how...
