(smirk smirk) yes, I know what residents are...... This patient will be going for further GI evaluation. Actually the care by the primary team members is not in question.

The resident was proposing the change: Let's just say: it didn't happen. And, the family has asked that no other residents be a part of this patients care. Many other factor's involved: the family is requesting only doctor's and at this point due to other circumstances, specialists are needing to get involved. As far as the homework, no.....I have that information. Thanks.

Patient has been diagnosed with Ileus post obstruction. Pt has chronic low intestinal motility secondary to bilateral schizencephaly: quadraplegic spasticity. High metabolism requiring high caloric diet. Pt has JG. Pt is now receiving small amount JG feed: initiated in last 24 hours. 3am patient vomits large amount green bile...Resident comes in the morning to inform family that they are considering advancing patient from clear liquid diet to full liquid diet. I am questioning the appropriateness of this diet advancement. Does any one have some specific feedback?

I couldn't agree more with your article. I am a 20 plus year veteran nurse with a Diploma degree. I attended and graduated from one of the best Diploma RN program. MORE clinical hours than the area BSN programs. I refuse to get my BSN because the hospital administration requires this for hire at more and more hospitals. A BSN doesn't make you a better nurse. So, they get their young and inexperienced nurses...yep, less pay: but at what cost??? Less experience!! At this point and time, I'd rather work at Cosco: I love nursing, I am intelligent and experienced.......but, I won't play the game of hospital politics. You want quality hospitals: STAFF them accordingly......we are talking about people and their health: and LIVES.
