    How many drugs should we know when we graduate?

    Wuzzie replied to porscheXN's topic in General Students

    You do not need to know any specific drugs at graduation. You should be aware of drugs by classification and have a rudimentary understanding of how each classification works. You will eventually...

    COVID in the Break Room?

    Wuzzie replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Unfortunately in the middle of all this the last thing they care about is us getting lunch. We can go to the union, and we will if we have to. Right now we are biding our time to see just how strongly...

    Medication error wrong patient

    Wuzzie replied to Student Rpn's topic in General Nursing

    Also wanted to say, you'll be fine. You aren't a terrible nurse. You will probably make more mistakes throughout your career but I bet you never make this one again.

    COVID in the Break Room?

    Wuzzie replied to adventure_rn's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Our compliance person, who is really an awful human being, will not let us eat anywhere but our breakroom which is shared by 70 people. When it was pointed out that there is no way we can make this...

    Medication error wrong patient

    Wuzzie replied to Student Rpn's topic in General Nursing

    I've done it. Gave 0.25mg Ativan to LOL#1 in hall bed A instead of LOL#2 in hall bed B. Turns out radiology had both the patients at the same time and switched their gurneys when they returned them....

    Health System Experience

    This site is for nurse. You probably will get more satisfaction by calling the patient experience department at the facility that cared for you. I’m sorry for your

    Guilt after patient passing away

    Wuzzie replied to Lynker's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse there will be more times that you do not get the chance to say goodbye than the opportunity to do so. This is something you’ll just have to come to terms with. But there is something you...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    That’s really good to hear. I was truly becoming concerned for you. And thank you for not flying off the handle at my posts. I think most of us have had a favorite patient or two so we understand...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I was beginning to think you had gained some insight until this. SilverBells. Your focus should be on what’s good for your patients not what you get out of it emotionally. Being appreciated is...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I’m mystified why you appear to be so obtuse as to what is going on. It’s clear your relationship with this patient has become suspect. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if they have started a a...

    Is 6 times a day too many to visit a favorite patient who isn’t on your caseload?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but this statement leads me to believe that you have crossed not only professional, moral and ethical lines but the situation is bordering on becoming pathologic if not already there. I get...

    Any advice on when to put in 2-wk notice??

    Wuzzie replied to SweetBabyJames's topic in General Nursing

    Better keep your nose extremely clean. The cat is out of the bag and HR most assuredly will notify your manager. If she is any way retaliatory she could start nit-picking you to death and that could...

    Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    My mother said she would rather die of Covid than die of loneliness. That, I think, says it

    Facial coverings effective?

    Wuzzie replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel like refusing to mask is akin to taking a job in a facility that has a union but refusing to join. You reap the benefits while everyone else pays the

    Not able to be with mother with dementia in hospital due to Covid

    Wuzzie replied to InSchool4eva20's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My parents were moved by strangers (we weren’t allowed to do it) into an assisted living facility on April 10th and the first time I got to see them was last Thursday in the parking lot of the...

    Facial coverings effective?

    Wuzzie replied to Thanksforthedonuts's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Given that this is a novel virus there isn't much science to back anything but we are doing the best we can with what we know. Just for funsies let's follow your thought process. Because there isn't,...

    Unionizing during a Pandemic: Another story from the bedside

    Wuzzie replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    Our union got our PPE back after they took every single bit of it from us because we were thought to be "low risk" until we weren't. They forced the hospital to make changes to parking so employees...

    HIPAA violation

    Wuzzie replied to thatgirl37's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    It's hard to say what will happen. Where I work it's immediate termination despite your employment history. And yikes! It was his "time to go"?!! That was a callous statement at best.
