  1. Ok....don't flame me ....questions for ya...

    sharann replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I just wonder which nurse would give the best advice: The nurse in horrible gut wrenching pain, or the one comfortable with her/his pain controlled by a prescribed med? I also think you must see the...

  5. Pulmonary Edema and Morphine

    sharann replied to SouthernLPN2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Both above are correct. I would only add that Pulm edema causes(of course) severe shortness of breath and the discomfort of feeling you can't breathe causes additional anxiety and distress(increases...

    sharann replied to NurCrystal22's topic in General Nursing

    Dalmane is still around Dutchgirl, but is as old as the docs that perscribe it. Most are more up to date. When I had to be in the hosp overnight post op I needed a sleeper AND pain meds. Otherwise it...

  8. ethics of holy water and Islam

    sharann replied to Carlos Casteneda's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    What if she was pouring acid into the tube? How would you know? I agree that an order is necessary to cover the staff, and the sister should be watched so she can give this water herself but must tell...

  9. Nurses and Dysfunction?

    sharann replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    You need to be strong and strength comes both from within and in numbers.Go above her and demand another meeting with her. Get some of your own statistics about bullying and harrassment. Ask her where...

  10. OR nurses

    sharann posted a topic in Operating Room

    What would happen to a circulator in your hospital if they went as far as to get the wrong patient onto the OR table before the patient was identified as the wrong one? This is as specific as I will...

  14. TV's ER new NM, Eve

    sharann replied to maolin's topic in General Nursing

    I too am sick of Sam and her moody brattiness. Kovac is also a pain. I am glad to see an RN with a strong personna finally on board. She is a bit too aggressive but I see it as a bulldog rather than a...

  16. ?? for Paramedics turned nurses

    sharann replied to mattwilson's topic in General Nursing
