  1. ER deaths

    Scroll89 replied to ToriAneal's topic in Emergency

    Within the last several months, I was working the evening shift and code blue came out overhead. Responded to said code (ICU nurse), young male in 30-40s, basically DOA with a huge MI. Compressions...

  2. What should one do in this case?

    Scroll89 replied to Nursein2017's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Being homeless and broke doesn't help matters, but the individual about which I speak doesn't match either of those. They are on government insurance so no excuse for not having diabetes supplies, and...

    Your opinion is why the discussion is occurring... And I don't have to accept your opinion because its an

  4. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Scroll89 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Going off the deep end here, but the fact that you attacked someone, as listed in my last post, was indeed cited, with the quote by you in response to their information. They said CA law requires they...

  5. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Scroll89 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot this part in your quote. Okay, so here is an example where someone attempts to provide facts and give a less than favorable response. To this person, who in no way attacked you. I still...

  6. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Scroll89 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    You asked for examples.. here you go. First post, first time CEO was mentioned. Second time CEO was mentioned. Inflammatory. There are plenty of individuals in the world that are...

  7. What should one do in this case?

    Scroll89 replied to Nursein2017's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I also have direct experience with a patient who purposely lets themselves go into DKA so they get admitted for the drugs. This particular individual has been admitted 6 times since April of this...

  8. I'm a new nurse and I feel like quitting :'(

    Scroll89 replied to NurseGee2016's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I feel that this is a multi-faceted issue, and one that isn't going to improve anytime soon. Nursing turnover is a real issue, and having a consistently new staff orienting all the time can be a major...

  9. So you're just a nurse?

    Scroll89 replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that this issue is simply because of peoples misinformation about healthcare as a profession. Unfortunately the media and pop-culture has generated a belief in a "hierarchical" system in which...

  10. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Scroll89 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Please, do yourself a favor and look up medical autopsy and body preparation at a mortuary. The body will end up the EXACT same way regardless of donation choice or not. It is critically important to...

  12. Organ Donation Organization Unethical

    Scroll89 replied to dangerous1's topic in General Nursing

    Okay well lets turn the tables here for a second. It sounds to me like if that family had made decisions earlier about how end of life care would pan out, they would have avoided this entire situation...

  13. Poor Judgment, Didn't notice Compartment?

    Scroll89 replied to morningland's topic in General Nursing

    In terms of timeline, if he lost sensation towards the end of your shift it likely won't result in much damage. Certain tissues (such as skeletal muscle, which are able to function with low O2 levels)...

  14. Do women find male nurses attractive?

    Scroll89 replied to Sykadia's topic in Men in Nursing

    Going to play the devils advocate here for a second folks. Not saying that how OP worded his questions was most ideal, nor am I saying I agree or disagree with OP but lets look at the reality......

    Thank you, this was the exact point I was attempting to make

  16. Should I get my CNA certification before RN school?

    Scroll89 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    I'll go ahead and put this out there.. Getting your CNA cert so late in the game may hinder your educational experience. Many of the CNA's that I was in school with (I was a phlebotomist before nurse)...

  17. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Scroll89 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since when do they need to disclose that they are terminating because wages were discussed? That is the point I'm making here. If an employer just terminates you and does not give a specific reason,...

  18. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Scroll89 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry, my wording wasn't quite correct.. But you've proven my point that wording is everything. In a court of law just because you say you were wrongfully terminated doesn't mean anything. If a civil...

    Scroll89 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Colorado is a right to work State, which means that the employer need not justify their actions. Their verbiage need only be "He/She created an environment of hostility by discussing private matters...

  20. Accidentally told my coworker what I make, BIG ISSUES NOW

    Scroll89 replied to newrn93's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well that's one theory but to be completely honest something that happens quite frequently is as follows: Employee A has been with Company A for 10 years. They were likely hired at a market price that...

  21. Occurrence report over changing FiO2 on Vent?

    Scroll89 posted a topic in Critical Care

    Hello all, and let me preface this by saying this is a bit of a venting and asking for opinions thread. So one night I had a pt on a vent (shocking for ICU right?) and the pt was sating around 96% on...

  22. afraid of being stuck by a needle

    Scroll89 replied to treeye's topic in Patient Education

    This thread cracks me up and has me shaking my head. I've never understood why people in medicine can't handle a tiny little needle. I know the phobias are real but I've never had an issue letting a...

  23. Best Route to Become FNP

    Scroll89 replied to hilbark's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your case is complicated in more than one way. You are going to need to acquire your advanced biological sciences credits somehow (A&P 1/2, Patho, Microbio) and chemistry classes before you can...

  24. Self letter to Nursing School

    Scroll89 replied to Altran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay now that you have answered my questions think about how you can incorporate those into your letter. You have patient experience as "patient care in Navy as a ...... doing ...... with patients"....

  25. Self letter to Nursing School

    Scroll89 replied to Altran's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
