   Threatened with being fired for calling off for bowel prep

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

   Politely demand this in writing. This will call her bluff without risking your employment. If what she is stating is against written policy she will not want you to have proof of it and will back...

   Revisiting The Lucy Letby case - what if she was innocent?

   Wuzzie replied to mtmkjr's topic in General Nursing

   I am seriously shocked and massively impressed that these physicians have gone to this length to support Lucy and are working so hard to right what I have come to believe is an egregious

   Legality of nurse responsibilities

   Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

   I get what you're saying and I did not mean to imply a lack of critical thinking or inability to adjust care to a situation, but care by protocol is, by nature, "cookbookish". FTR: I was on an...

   Legality of nurse responsibilities

   Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

   That's why I appreciated your sage advice to for them to remain quiet and let the chips fall where they may. I've learned if you point out the issues prior to implementation when those issues arise,...

   Legality of nurse responsibilities

   Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

   Not disagreeing and given the ridiculous plan this place has come up with so far they can't be trusted to make any good decisions. However, this is very much the reason the role of the NP came up in...

   Legality of nurse responsibilities

   Wuzzie replied to Djadia's topic in General Nursing

    Calling in for no sleep

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    It was actually a shift I worked (well 5pm-3:30am). It was staffed that way because the bulk of ED patients are seen in those hours. It wasn't really as bad as you seem to think and I'm a single...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    In re-reading the first post I also don't think she was forced to work over. That would have been a 20hr shift. She said she was scheduled to work until 0330. Everyone assumed she was working 7a-7p...

    Calling in for no sleep

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I read it differently but I don't believe that's how it was scheduled. She worked over on Friday night but had both Saturday and Sunday night to sleep prior to going back to work on Monday...

    Tiny vein tips for IVs

    Wuzzie replied to mariaconcetta's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. Success at IV placement is 50% skill and 50% vein selection. You can have all the mad IV skills in the world but if you pick a crap vein your chance at success drops dramatically and visa...
