    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    I used to think this too but now I’m not so

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    This. Is. Not. Normal. OP, I think it would be good for you to talk to a professional about your issues before you tank your entire

    Managers, Nurses and Delegation: Who Has Authority?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There’s an old saying “pride goeth before a fall” and I think you are walking on thin ice right

    Wide Variation Across Hospitals in Nurse Staffing Is Threat to Public’s Health

    Wuzzie replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If they billed separately for nursing services you can bet our ratios would be 1/3. Right now we’re lumped in with the furniture and frankly, the furniture gets treated

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    COVID for sure and to a much lesser degree, flu. I have an opinion of course but no right to make someone feel bad about theirs. Educate yes but abuse nope. Childhood vaccinations are a no-brainer....

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    @aanwyn and you totally took it the wrong way but I cannot control that. I asked you for clarification and you declined to respond. It would have been helpful to get a clearer picture of what the crux...

    Covid Vaccine

    Wuzzie replied to Nurseybl06's topic in Disaster Preparation

    We were given the website to register and most of us did. I have dutifully logged my symptoms in after both vaccines. To my surprise the second dose took me completely out. I am still recovering 36...

    Out of My Element Again

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Silverbells, you can’t cherry-pick what nursing tasks you will do based on what you like best or feel is your strongpoint. This has been a consistent theme throughout your various posts. We all do...

    Pretty sure I’m a repeat violator for everything mentioned.

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    Wuzzie replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I told you this was happening on other posts and you wouldn't believe me. You just thought I was some malcontent that didn’t want to teach students (totally not true) making stuff up. Do you...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Not punitive at all. We only have so many vaccines. It was the 1B folk’s turn. And they will have another turn at bat. They’re just going to have to wait. I think I said

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I’m glad you changed your mind. ?This is the only position that bugged me. I am not a guinea pig for my colleagues. As it turns out it majorly backfired for the people taking the “wait and see how...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, that’s why I asked if it was the specific wording or the stickers in general. Especially since we are voluntarily on our person literally everywhere we go carrying a very big and very...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, I’ve found that when I deliver something contrary to what the hearer believes or wants to hear or if it challenges them in any way no matter how minor its often pegged as “rude” because...

    That’s what I was saying but apparently I’m being rude. ? Yep, also what I was

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Who’s being rude? I asked you how you felt about other similar situations. I’m legit trying to gauge if it’s just the vaccine stuff that’s bugging

    Multiple doses in same syringe?

    Wuzzie replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    She wasn’t even upset about the saline it was the “inappropriate use of a medical device” ie. the graduate cylinders. ? She honestly tried to make us believe we would be fined for it. She’s...

    Multiple doses in same syringe?

    Wuzzie replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    The last place I used Fentanyl it was in an ampule so we either wasted or drew up the entire amount and saved the syringe. Of course it’s been awhile and apparently the world has turned upside down...

    What constitutes an IV insertion "attempt"?

    Wuzzie replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Not if someone reuses a catheter after it’s been pulled out which sadly I have seen done.

    What constitutes an IV insertion "attempt"?

    Wuzzie replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    For me an attempt is any time you pierce the skin. I will redirect twice and if not successful will stop. However, when redirecting I will only pull back half the length of the catheter and if it...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If somebody has made an informed decision about what they felt was right for them then they really shouldn’t give a flying fig about what a stupid sticker says. Do you have the same reaction to the...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    You know very well that this was not what I was saying but to imply that things like stickers celebrating what a large percentage of health care workers see as the beginning of the end of this scourge...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    Wuzzie replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Apparently I did not make myself as clear as I thought I did. I have zero issue with allowing a student or inexperienced nurse to attempt a needed IV on a sedated patient and have, indeed, done this...

    Vaccine Hesitancy

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    If anybody feels guilty because of a sticker it’s because the guilt is coming from within. People’s feelings are theirs alone. Their guilt is on them and to blame others for it is deflecting. What...
