    Oh'Ello replied to Tarootya's topic in General Nursing

    Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    Oh'Ello replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    Many of you say you wouldn't have a problem spiking and hanging the products for someone else. I think that also in theory, but as an oncology nurse, having to hang chemo for non-chemo certified...

    Nursing assistant reconnected dirty IV line

    Oh'Ello replied to jamsandwich2015's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't be so nice. Its not that CNA's "shouldn't" be reconnecting IV's.... it's that it's illegal for them to reconnect IV tubing. CNA's are not licensed to administer IV
