    loricatus replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Nurses Recovery

  12. Incident Reports and Staff

    loricatus replied to drknyko's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I suspect that you will have enough adrenaline flowing that you won't be able to get to sleep. Remember that being assertive would include showing that you WANT to go to the manager's office ASAP to...

  13. Incident Reports and Staff

    loricatus replied to drknyko's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is the important point. You DID do your job in thie situation and, technically, advised the LPN of his duty. Furthermore, you were not a witness to the incident and were never given a clear...

    loricatus replied to I_LOVE_TRAUMA's topic in Emergency

    Don't be sorry. You told the truth. It is a shame that this happens all too frequently. Hey, I take some shifts in the ICU when I want a break from the ER. That says something, doesn't

  19. Time Management: Help!

    loricatus replied to dcurry's topic in General Nursing

    Can you anticipate who will be calling for pain meds? At the beginning of the shift take a look at the MAR and see the prn schedule. If it is getting close to the next dosage, just get it ready and...

    loricatus replied to TiddlywinksMom's topic in General Nursing

  22. Help with Scrub color.

    loricatus replied to Scyankee's topic in Men in Nursing

  24. I Loved the ER

    loricatus replied to 4jen's topic in Emergency

    It gets in your blood, doesn't it? Went from ICU to the ER and found the ICU experience a real plus, especially in handling trauma patients. Learn what you can in the IC, then come join the ER

  25. Is it legal to write a order 4 months after you took it?

    loricatus replied to BigSurKay's topic in General Nursing

    It would be totally legal to write the order again, as you orginally wrote it (providing you recall this order); but, you would have to add a notation on it saying that it was a rewrite (for a lost...
