  1. Providing Emergency Care to non-patient

    missnurse89 replied to augustwest's topic in General Nursing

    Documentation should NEVER dictate whether or not you assume care for someone. It should back what you did for the patient. Sorry I can't assume care because I can't document on you? Ridiculous. Keep...

  2. Can i ever become a nurse?

    missnurse89 replied to Dallanah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  3. Coworker is Innappropriate

    missnurse89 posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

  7. Problem with blood draws..

    missnurse89 replied to psmithlove's topic in General Nursing

    You just have to get the tip in the vein and no more. They can be very positional. It sounds like you may be entering the vein just a bit too far, which can be hard to adjust when you are use to IVs....

  8. afraid of being stuck by a needle

    missnurse89 replied to treeye's topic in Patient Education

    We do A LOT of vaccinating in our health department. I notice that adolescents are the WORST to vaccinate because they get so worked up from the moment they walk in the door. The thought inflicts...

  9. Meds

    missnurse89 replied to Creak Freak's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree. As nurses, it is our duty to educate through ENCOURAGING others and not discouraging. It is perfectly fine to ask a question. This is a VERY good quality to have as a nurse. Otherwise you...

  13. Meds

    missnurse89 replied to Creak Freak's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I would just freshen up on different BP meds. It's very important to understand how they are affecting the blood pressure as well as the HR and the different classes work a bit differently. Also this...

  16. One nurse for three busy providers. This can't be safe, right?

    missnurse89 replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    It's so sad and despicable. The office I was at, the manager did not care at all for my concerns or myself. Her mother passed away and she took over 2 weeks off which I was so understanding of that....

    missnurse89 replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  18. Phlebotomy on very large bulging veins

    missnurse89 replied to Charslight's topic in General Nursing

    Try to apply the tourniquet not quite as tight (or none at all if they are bulging already.- you can also have them hang their arm down if you need just a little bit of venous congestion). I find that...

  19. Does LET have antibacterial properties?

    missnurse89 replied to newgrad1988's topic in General Nursing

    I always did use sterile materials to apply gels to wounds and did not prefer the drip technique just to minimize the risk of contamination. Every doctor has there own preference. I agree it's better...

    missnurse89 replied to ceebeejay's topic in Private Duty

    Personal boundaries are a must. The client needs to call the home office. If your expected to be reached via cell the office can either page you or issue you a work cell. Non-negotiable. You need to...

  24. Does LET have antibacterial properties?

    missnurse89 replied to newgrad1988's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking she meant more of if there was a better or more correct way to apply this. Also not if they were antibiotics (I'm sure she is well aware that they are not) but if the syringe had some...
