    Radonda Vaught Fatal Error Case Timeline

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This isn’t a precedent setting case. There have been several cases prior to this with the same type of charges and it hasn’t even caused a ripple in the world of nursing. This will not incite any...

    Holy Moly Libra were you not on this site when the whole thing went down?! ?It was a circus. Look up the threads (especially the one started by the lawyer?) and you’ll see the entire event...

    Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    In my role I look at the physicians' "impression and plan" documentation dozens of times a day to determine what needs done in a big picture sort of way. If the nursing care plan was anything like...

    Share Policies That Have Not Saved One Life

    Wuzzie replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Totally agree. It's not the concept of care plans it's the format. Their current form smacks of grasping for professional validation couched in academic

    Are there many jobs RNs can do that do not involve direct patient contact?

    Wuzzie replied to Kara638's topic in General Students

    Kara, I think you need to do some more investigation before you continue your nursing education. You seem to have some unrealistic expectations vs misunderstanding of what working as a nurse entails....

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    Wuzzie replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I based it on my experience. We weren't allowed to wear makeup so that wasn't an issue but the use of quotation marks around the word clean was a bit provacative in my opinion. Apparently you...

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    Wuzzie replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    I’m pretty sure I have answered this question but I’ll try again. Most hospitals only allow you to wear hospital-supplied and fit-tested respirators. The type will depend on the circumstances of...

    Do hospitals allow nurses to wear their own respirators of choice?

    Wuzzie replied to Kara638's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you think they are insufficient and how would you know the difference? Again, we wear hospital supplied and fit-tested respirators. We are not allowed any other kind but your facility may be...

    Please help! Which job offer should I take???

    Wuzzie replied to cmyr711's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you take the job with the 2 hour commute you will pretty much never see your family. You’ll either be on the road, on the unit or collapsed in bed from exhaustion. I know because I did it and I...
