    I see what you're saying but in an unusual turn of events have to disagree with you. There is only one victim here and that is Charlene Murphee. I truly hope that people don't lose sight of

    It's been so long since I read it that I don't really remember what it said but I don't recall feeling like CMS had an agenda. I'll have to go back and re-read it with that in

    I never had an issue with the override...it was everything else after that is problematic including the action of the hospital. I hope the override isn't used as a smokescreen to obscure all the other...

    I believe so. I can't believe her attorney allowed her to do this either. All sorts of stupid in this

    Peripheral Vasopressor Administration - Considering Catheter Gauge

    Wuzzie replied to 0.9%NormalSarah's topic in Critical Care

    Not if they don’t know what to ask. Like I said, we have students here…a lot of them. All I did was clarify. It wasn’t petty in the least. I didn’t call anyone out, I didn’t call anyone...

    Peripheral Vasopressor Administration - Considering Catheter Gauge

    Wuzzie replied to 0.9%NormalSarah's topic in Critical Care

    Never said they were. But a PICC line is still a central line and has vastly different uses, safety considerations and care than a PIV. Something that a trainee should understand very well before...

    Peripheral Vasopressor Administration - Considering Catheter Gauge

    Wuzzie replied to 0.9%NormalSarah's topic in Critical Care

    We have a lot of new grads who may not be familiar with central lines and this site strives to provide them accurate information. They may not be aware that for a line to be called a “central...

    Wuzzie replied to summertx's topic in General Nursing

    You need to realize that the post you quoted from is from a frustrated nurse dealing with extremely short staffing. Your job as a student is not to fix this as it is the result of years and years of...

    What blows my mind is a judge that thinks he can control a citizen's freedom of choice in employers. How in the hell did this even get through

    Hospital Profits Over Patient Safety: The reasons you should not be a nurse

    Wuzzie replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    @manager123 While I have absolutely seen the situation as you describe I can't help believing there is something much more nefarious going on than just system issues. Given the fact that hospitals are...

    Giving Report and IV Access

    Wuzzie replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I have more faith in my colleagues as I have never worked with anyone who would leave out important details such as poor access like you described. I've been doing this for 36 years so I've...

    Giving Report and IV Access

    Wuzzie replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    That's a bit on the nose. How about it's because ED nurses are working extrememly short and being pulled in a million different directions often with 8 patients or more. Not only that it is not...

    A wise nurse once told me that the best IV to place is the one you can get in. This has served me well in my practice. For giggles ponder the following: Would it be better to run...

    Giving Report and IV Access

    Wuzzie replied to thehipbonesconnected's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but a 22 will suffice until the central line, that we begged for in the ED but didn't get, is placed. It isn't optimal but it's access. Also, I guarantee any ED nurse worth his/her salt wouldn't...

    ...Was I being insensitive??

    Wuzzie replied to Delia37's topic in General Nursing

    An ICU nurse who doesn’t want to work with Covid patients in the middle of a pandemic surge is both short-sighted and unrealistic. Your job was to make sure the patients were cared for. She was...
