    Any nurses in Asheville?

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Asheville is one of my most favorite places and I'm just so sad to see what has happened. I wish we could hear from the nurses working in the hospitals there and maybe do something to help. I was...

    It also could be an evil, passive-aggressive means of getting rid of her without having blood on their hands. I've seen it happen to others and it happened to

    I would hope your approach isn't "yes, I did some things wrong but it was really the hospital's fault I did those things. I am the victim

    Drug screening policy in your area

    Wuzzie replied to Luke79AU's topic in General Nursing

    Tell me about it. They receive federal funding so follow federal law. My sister partakes and my SIL would like to be able to as well but nope. I think it's a bit draconian. Can you imagine if they did...

    Drug screening policy in your area

    Wuzzie replied to Luke79AU's topic in General Nursing

    Everywhere I've worked has an option to random drug test but I've never seen it happen in nearly 40 years. We DO get tested if we get hurt at work, there are missing narcotics or we're acting as if...

    Can a RN legally supervise BSN's and MSN's?

    Wuzzie replied to cosmicjustice's topic in General Nursing

    Hate to break it to you but your BSN or MSN won't get you a professorship either. Time to hop off that

    Wuzzie replied to Linhtp's topic in General Nursing

    6 weeks is in no way adequate to orient a new grad to the ED. This is a set up for absolute failure. EDs will always be there. Get some good solid training under your belt

    Nobody lashed out at you. All of these things you have posted have been posted before. We've read them. Most are opinion pieces, ALL of them omit pertinent facts or just simply get them dead

    Order help please!

    Wuzzie replied to Marie001's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that it's 4ml but the order is oddly written. "Intravenous route" is open to interpretation and it is not normal to write a nursing med order by volume not by actual dose. That's more like a...

    Order help please!

    Wuzzie replied to Marie001's topic in General Nursing

    You need to call the prescribing provider and ask for clarification of dose and route. If it's to be given as an infusion you need orders for diluent and rate or length of infusion. If it's IVP it's...

    Order help please!

    Wuzzie replied to Marie001's topic in General Nursing

    The order is not clear. It should have the actual dose (in this case 200mg) and the route should be specified. I believe they meant IVP since there is no dilution instructions and it can be pushed but...

    I don't think you're wrong. Although I understand the need for this type of technology I sometimes feel it has become a crutch for lazy nursing. It favors taking short cuts and reliance on machines...

    Most of us are not relying on news sources for accurate information. Anybody who does should have their head examined. We dug much deeper, as Rose Queen stated, and looked at or listened to the actual...

    Just to be clear I don't think any of us want her to be harmed in any way. I know I don't. Despite my feelings about her actions as a nurse and as a person I also didn't think jail time was necessary....

    I think all of us would have had a great deal of compassion for her, despite her stunningly awful nursing actions, if her behavior post-tragedy had not been so equally stunningly awful and continues...
