    IV Protonix

    Murse901 replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard of IV protonix needing to go through a dedicated line. Our pharmacy usually prints little reminders on the MAR about special needs for meds such as IV phenergan needing to be mixed with...

    Do nurses work in clinics/hospitals with rehab patients?

    Murse901 replied to futurelpn09's topic in General Nursing

    I just transferred out of an inpatient Dual Diagnosis (substance abuse/mental illness) and will NEVER go back. The patient care itself is very easy. Basically just passing meds. But the patients are...

    HELP~ Medicare Charting on LTC Facility

    Murse901 replied to j3yang21's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I didn't mean a form with checkboxes that replaces charting. Just a checklist/guidelines for charting. Everything had to be handwritten or typed into the computer charting

    Murse901 replied to RN1980's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Methodist and Baptist are the two biggest hospital groups in Memphis, so you have the best chance of getting a PRN position with either of those. I hear Baptist pays the best, but is also worse for...

    Annual TB screening

    Yep, it's incorporated and has its own fire department and everything! To the OP, what exactly are you looking for? Your post is rather

    Chattanooga CNA certification

    Murse901 replied to WorkingStudent's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    The only hospital in my area that will train CNA's is the VA hospital. Otherwise, there are some nursing homes that will do the training, and there are a few schools. Beware of places like Concorde...

    HELP~ Medicare Charting on LTC Facility

    Murse901 replied to j3yang21's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I was always told to not chart what you will do in the future, because you are charting what has happened, not what you believe will happen. I was also told to not chart that you are "monitoring"...

    DNR bracelet with DNR written on it. HIPAA???

    Murse901 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Just read this response today, and decided to do a little research just to make sure I wasn't being stupid about HIPAA. HIPAA originally only related to electronic storage and transmission of medical...

    DNR bracelet with DNR written on it. HIPAA???

    Murse901 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This may have already been address by someone else (I haven't read all the replies yet), but DNR is considered Protected Health Information because it relates to a healthcare decision that the patient...

    Paramedic to RN

    Murse901 replied to ERFirefighter's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Don't go College Network. You don't actually "graduate" from them. You just buy overpriced study materials to get your degree from Excelsior College or Indiana State University. Search for threads...

    Candida Albicans and elevated blood alcohol levels

    Murse901 replied to CyndieRN2007's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting excuse for turning up positive for ETOH, but it just doesn't make sense. The infection would have to be systemic in order for that to happen, and I imagine the person being tested would...

    What do RNs do that LPNs can't?

    Murse901 replied to TiggerBelly's topic in LPN to RN

    Hang blood products, some IV medications (antineoplastics, experimental, some of the hardcore ABT's, etc), admission assessments except in LTC, some aspects of management. There actually isn't a whole...

    Does psych nursing hire LPNs?

    Murse901 replied to mommie2bodie's topic in Psychiatric

    I am an LPN working in inpatient Dual Diagnosis (mental health + substance abuse), so yeah, you can be a psych nurse as an LPN. As with most specialties, it just depends on the hospitals and...

    Challenging from RMA to LVN??

    Murse901 replied to rma2b74's topic in General Nursing

    You misinterpreted their response. They were replying to the person that stated MA school helped them with PN school, but that MA school alone would not have prepared them for the NCLEX-PN. Their...

    High School LPN Program

    Murse901 replied to DermNP2Be's topic in LPN to RN

    That's pretty awesome, but kind of scary at the same time. "Traditional" nursing school theory and practice is to mentally beat the crap out of students so that they either drop out or pass with...

    UTI post cath. need opinions

    Murse901 replied to bisson's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the circumstances, but in general terms I would say yes. The actual d/c procedure itself has basically no risk, which is why it is not a sterile procedure in the majority of facilities....

    What Degree?????

    Murse901 replied to Haunted's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, if you're taking some action to remedy your current situation, then that's great. I would say something about cashing a reality check, but I've made enough "rude" (aka to-the-point) posts to...

    Should I run far, far away while I still have my license?

    Murse901 posted a topic in Agency Nurses

    I'm still a very new LPN, just 6 months into my first job (LTC). I have some experience on the side doing flu clinics and health fairs, but I wouldn't count those as real nursing experience. I'm...

    What Degree?????

    Murse901 replied to Haunted's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This is the policy quoted on the TN BON website. Specifically, listed on the PDF entitled "RN Endorsement Instructions and Application", which can be found by clicking on Applications/Forms from the...

    What Degree?????

    Murse901 replied to Haunted's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    To be licensed by endorsement in Tennessee, you have to show proof that you graduated from an accredited school of nursing, which shows that you meet the educational requirements for RN's in...

    Ethical dilemma r/t documentation

    Murse901 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a new nurse and I work as an LPN in a LTC facility. A few days ago, we had a readmit. With any admit or readmit, we have to do an admission assessment (I'm sure this is all common knowledge for...

    Ethical dilemma r/t documentation

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    At the time I was originally asked, they wanted me to put the original date on the "new" document. I talked to them about it today. They said to date it for 1/31 and not the original readmit date...

    Ethical dilemma r/t documentation

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the advice everyone. At least I know I'm not just being stupid about it. The only thing that would be falsified on the document would be the date, making it appear to be the original...

    What should I Have Done?

    Murse901 replied to caring angel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Be thankful that you got away with a termination. She could have easily reported you to the state for neglect. I'm not saying that you necessarily deserve either, though, especially for a first...
