  1. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello my follow nurses! I am wondering how you would handle this situation: Patient in its 20s. Has severe type 1 diabetes with resistance to sc insulin. Taket 250 E doses with not much effect. Has...

  2. Why are nurses so.....?

    hybr1d replied to neverland's topic in General Nursing

    I must be lucky because I haven't worked with a single nurse who fits into any of these categories! Most have been friendly and helpful. A bit different on the internet though but with almost a...

  3. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    Just an update. Nothing had happened since I was at work 5 days ago with regards to a psych-consult. Patient said she had confided in two other nurses but I saw no notes from doctors or them. Heard...

  4. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you dishes (and thank you for the pm!), I needed that. It's sometimes difficult wanting to help but not being able to, or allowed to, make the decisions needed. When I'm back on thursday for my...

  5. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    I'm it at the night, no sup or anything. I have a ward by myself and there's no other nurse on the entire floor (used to be one on the other ward but they closed it due to lack of nurses). I know it's...

  6. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    This so much, I have nothing to say about it when the on-call doctor won't do anything. I reported it (and I'm also obliged to) saying this worried me and that she was not in a good mental state. But...

  7. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    Yep! I'm totally on board with that. I get frustrated when I don't get that kind of response from the doctor on call and in the weekend and night it's what I have available to contact. The daytime...

  8. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks dishes! I'm not suspicious like the first response, wouldn't have crossed my mind to think this patient would be intentionally sabotaging her link to a somewhat normal like (which is obvious in...

  9. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it works that way here too. Pt has not been a patient at that clinic but has at some time been a student there and thinks well of the place. I hope the doctors make stuff happen asap. I wish...

  10. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    I did contact the doctor on call at night but yeah didnt get much from it. So I properly informed my colleagues so they could work on it on the day. Not worried about my job, I live in Sweden and I...

  11. Suicidal ideation in patient.

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in General Nursing

    I did alert the doctor on call already the first time she told about it plus spoke to my 5 colleagues for advice in the morning. The doctor didnt say much more than "if XX want no contact with psych...

  12. TBC patients, health check or no for staff?

    hybr1d posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi colleagues! I had a patient with a bloody cough a while back. She coughed me in the face. I asked about TBC-testing the patient, which hadnt been done, and they came back positive. I asked my boss...

  13. What are your personal standards when a patient "refuses care"

    hybr1d replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    It varies from patient to patient. If the patient has all cognitive functions intact I try to reason with them and make a deal like alright we wont do it now but how about 5 o clock? It usually works....

  14. Tattoos in Nursing

    hybr1d replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I got a few tattoos and piercings. Piercings in the face and ears. Bosses react more than patients. They cant fire me for it since the swedish guidelines state that there isnt a correlation between...

  15. Should Nurses have to clean patients rooms after a patient dies or is discharged??

    hybr1d replied to Pride/hardwork17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm writing from Sweden so it's most likely a bit different here. We clean the rooms, if time allows, but only beds and such, housekeeping does the floors and

  16. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi! I work night time at a medical ward and lately have received a lot of intox patients. My colleague who tonight was working on the opposite ward (we are 1 nurse plus 1 tech per ward) received an...

  17. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Lab work is standard at the ER. As well as ecg. So I'm certain they did it. As I said not heard of that alcohol protocol though and I'm certain the doctor did not give such instructors to the nurse....

  18. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Would you mind spelling out for me the names and meanings of the different levels of care in english? I understand the day to day speak well but not so accustomed to the different health care related...

  19. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yep. It's heavy. Why we are so often upset when they send us patients who are basically in need of ICU-type care. I mean I can't possibly or safely deliver that kind of care. I mean besides all the...

  20. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yeah. I'm sure it could've been. I'm certain they did check electrolytes (at the very least these) before sending pt to the ward. The resident who was on call has always to me seemed good at her job,...

  21. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thanks! Gonna save that one. Yeah, it's enough if one patient gets really ill at night and then I can't manage much else but that, I have 18 patients total to care for. Us nurses aren't really allowed...

  22. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Alright, back from a little nap :-) I don't think we have these protocols, not us nurses anyway. I've never heard of them. I have read the swedish guidelines regarding delirium tremens before since...

  23. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't know. Didn't look in the journal since it wasn't my

  24. Delirium tremens, level of care?

    hybr1d replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What are those short for? For me mg = milligram and k=kalium (swedish

  25. Feeling a little discourage

    hybr1d replied to kurisutein's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You learned from this and as the others have said the patient is alive. Some colleagues do come off that way but try to shrug it off, I bet they have made mistakes or misses themselves, we all do at...
