    Lunah replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    Case Management Nursing (CM)

    Lunah replied to traumaRUs's topic in Case Management

    I know nurses who have gone from ED to CM and enjoyed it. We ED peeps are kind of natural problem solvers after a while! Definitely consider it. Great opportunity that could even turn into a...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    Lunah replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    The kind of anxiety produced by the claustrophobia of a scanner tube is not something that can be shushed away by some hand-holding and kind words. I went for a cardiac MRI this summer and discovered...

    Reminder why the seven rights are important

    Lunah replied to Triddin's topic in Nursing News

    There are so many weird things, like the baggie. Why would there be a baggie with the med? Unless it had both the vial of vec and a vial for reconstituting together in a baggie in the Pyxis. The...

    Is it easy to transfer within a organization?

    Lunah replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Really depends on the organization and its needs. I am kind of surprised that you are having difficulty, it seems like you would be a great fit for an ICU spot. In my hospital, PCU and ICU rarely...

    Rising insurance premiums through work

    Lunah replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    At my first job with benefits in 1994, I paid 50 cents per pay period - $1 per month - for health insurance. Our company charged us that only because by law, they had to charge us something. My...

    How Much Junk do you Keep?

    Lunah replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

    It's really just three or four of those banker's boxes. Probably not enough to summon a truck! But enough that my poor shredder (already on its last legs) can't handle
