    Why do some fairly new nurses talk down about bedside nursing?

    BON Reprimand For Being Late To Work 3x

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

    I wonder if the employer reported them for "patient abandonment". If that's the case it's fraudulent. I just can't believe any board would get involved in tardiness

    Blown Vein

    Wuzzie replied to Angelasc's topic in General Nursing

    I probably should clarify. If I fully seat an IV and flush and it's clearly blown at the terminus of the catheter then I do not try to make it work. However, we've all had the experience where you...

    Blown Vein

    Wuzzie replied to Angelasc's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes you don't have a choice. Plus with your 30 years you know there's blowing and then there's blowing. I certainly wouldn't advocate trying to get past a giant

    Blown Vein

    Wuzzie replied to Angelasc's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on what I'm using it for and where it blew. If it blew immediately on insertion and I was able to get the tip of the catheter well past AND it had a good return AND flushed well AND I wasn't...

    Is it possible to be a decent nurse if I'm a sociopath or have antisocial personality disorder?

    Wuzzie replied to uniteddemclub's topic in General Nursing

    I can't tell you how many times I've heard the most vile people say "I'm an empath". I have an extremely difficult time not rolling my eyes and laughing out

    Should Hospitals Rehire LPNs/LVNs?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Team nursing has been villainized but works extremely well when implemented properly. When I was in nursing school it was 6 patients to an RN-LPN-NA team. Sometimes the NA's had half an additional...

    Need Your Opinion About Medical Emergency

    Wuzzie replied to intellica's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you may need a cup of coffee and a talk. Emergencies are always stressful and emotions run high. You should be able to smooth this over and prevent it from happening

    Need Your Opinion About Medical Emergency

    Wuzzie replied to intellica's topic in General Nursing
