  1. I'd settle for step 1: Read the medication label

    Did this nurse behave unethically?

    Its the fact that this occured should horrify any human being. As for flushing it down the loo. At that point what was she supposed to do, put the remains in a box and take it to her local hospital?
  3. #iamcharlenemurphy Far easier to crucify us than consider RV isn't the patron saint of drug errors + negligent homicide #iamcharlenemurphy
  4. Sorry I'm agnostic so don't do prayer. Charlene Murphy died a horrific death, gasping, trying to get air into her lungs. As she lay DYING on her own, fully aware that she was dying and there was no way of stopping that, All the 10+ other safety...

    Medical Aid in dying

    I have yet to see applicants voice the main reason for wanting to die as "being duty bound, or being a burden to their family"'. Working in hospice, family was one of the reasons why people fight for so long I read something a few years ago out ...

    Medical Aid in dying

    In the same vein. I had a patient who had terminal cancer, was dying just slowly. This person applied to the assisted dying scheme and was declined because their life expectancy was still over 6 months. I've had colleages who felt that the sch...

    No longer a NOvid

    Well after almost four years I finally tested postive on a RAT. Had been feeling yuck on days off and thought I'd better do a RAT. Thought initially it was NAD however when I picked it up I say a very faint line. Merely sharing for a rant...
  8. Its absolutely not hers to telll But so often in history we remeber the names of the people who killed others. but seem to forget their victims. Not saying RV set out to kill Charlene Murphy. Her actions assured that Charlene Murphy is no ...
  9. If she owned her actions and said something along the lines of 'I made the most monumental screw up that took the life of a patient. This is what I have learned from it, this is what I believe nurses need to do to ensure someone else doesnt make the ...
  10. Charlene Murphy would be a great speaker. Oh wait, she died at the hands of Mrs Vaughts incompetence

    Addressing Walk Ins in Primary Care

    In your opinion. The people who need the healthcare, get it because all results are gone through, the people with abnormal results are scheduled for further testing or what ever follow up is indicated. Of course, if people want to ring up to fi...

    Addressing Walk Ins in Primary Care

    We'll tell patients 'no news is good news'. In other words if they come back NAD we won't be calling you If they present make it very clear they will be seen in accordance to their triage level

    Patient Abandonment

    I've never orietated to a position and been on numbers from day one. Usually its been four-five days orientation. My orientation among other things involved learning the EMAR, giving meds, getting to know the patients, staff etc. Had I been ask...

    Please advise me.

    You made an excellent point, the union hospital pays better than the non union hospital. I'm in NZ. We just had a massive win for pay equity, stop paying nurses less because its perceieved as a womans job, We get a decent hourly rate, aft...

    Please advise me.

    Union busters are not friends of the average nursing team. Did you give these people a fair and impartial look at the facts?

    What is the toughest part of nursing?

    I work in older persons mental health. I have a scenario of a patient who had had multiple admissions post substance misuse. Currently on the ward and very vocal about the situation they are in and how much they hate it despite the fact its ver...

    Shadow Health

    Use more words please
  22. This is mental who the hell thought that was a good idea
  23. In New Zealand a person has to be a qualified radiographer. There is no way in hell a nurse would waltz into an Xray suite and start messing around. This sounds as dodgy as heck
