    Will LTC nurse go to jail?

    Murse901 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ya know, I never even thought about that. Kinda odd that those residents died at St. Rita's, and Hurricane Rita hit shortly after.But yes, the nursing home was St. Rita's....

    Will LTC nurse go to jail?

    Murse901 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It would have to be a criminal negligence charge for them to get jail time. An example of criminal negligence would be the St. Rita's case in New Orleans, where the owners refused to evacuate...

    Received this email today and I am steamed!!!

    Murse901 replied to MomBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I thought it was pretty funny, and I'm just a nursing student. Does that make me an experienced nurse? It's just a joke. I don't think it's supposed to be a laundry list of facts about

    What are the signs of calcium defiency in young children?

    Murse901 replied to sunnyday1's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like a growth spurt. I wouldn't be worried.You're obviously giving him calcium and potassium, and it's most likely enough. How much water does he drink daily? This may be something you might...

    Nervous, overworked, sick to my stomach, and loving every minute of it.

    Murse901 posted a topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hello all, I've been lurking for a while now, so I thought it's about time that I post an introduction. I'm a male nursing student in Memphis, TN. I'm just in my first quarter of a four quarter LPN...

    12N Sleeping During Break

    Murse901 replied to MEDRQST's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The really sad thing about this scenario is that if the nurse in question had gone to her vehicle and "hid out" to sleep, she wouldn't be in danger of being caught or punished. My opinion is that her...

    Are nursing students allowed to give IV push meds?

    Murse901 replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    In Tennessee, LPN's can be trained and certified by the facility they are working at to start IV's and push meds, but the training is not included in LPN school. After certification, they still need...

    Tote Bag/ Book Bag

    Murse901 replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I picked up a rolling backpack at WalMart. I wish I had shopped around more. Dropped $25 on what I thought would be a decent bag, and it turned out to be crap. I actually went to about 4 different...

    CNA class

    Murse901 replied to mchanrice's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's a very good idea, and it's a waste of time and money (unless required by your school as mentioned). Hear me out before flaming me. I've done a little research, and many states allow...

    male nursing student uniforms

    Murse901 replied to AlwazAmbitious's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I wear white tennis shoes, white cargo scrub pants, and a white zip-up top that reminds me of a barber or pharmacist's jacket, and a fingertip-length white labcoat. All overpriced, with the exception...

    CNA Question

    Murse901 replied to Soon2BNurse's topic in General Nursing

    CNA's are not legally considered nurses, period. It's not disrepectful to the CNA's. It's simply a statement of fact. I'm an LPN student. After this quarter, I will start working as a CNA. If a...

    Murse901 replied to futureTMA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    futureTMA, Good luck with your plans. I just thought I'd throw a little real world out there (at least from my subjective POV) rather than the usual back-patting that tends to go on in various...

    Murse901 replied to Murse901's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm not generalizing males and females. I was making a comment on the males in my particular class versus the majority of the females in my particular class. Many of the females in the class are 18 to...

    Murse901 replied to futureTMA's topic in Male Nursing Students

    futureTMA, Welcome to the forums. The main question I have in regard to your specific career choice is... why? I'm not saying in any way that it can't or shouldn't be done, but it seems a little...
