    Help! The teacher's answers are different from mine?

    Wuzzie replied to Beaue's topic in General Students

    So let’s see if you have the concept down. You need to give 1gm of Rocephin over an hour. It comes mixed in a 250 ml bag and your tubing drop factor is 20gtts/ml. How many gtts/min will get the...

    Gloves at all times?

    Wuzzie replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure that my properly sanitized hands are cleaner than the gloves on the wall. Makes me shudder to even think about

    Outpatient infusion/transfusion vs Vascular Access Team?

    Wuzzie replied to skydancer7's topic in Infusion, Intravenous

    You say you have IV experience but how good are you at them? Seriously not trying to sound like a snot but it really is a thing. VAT nurses need to be better than the average

    Wuzzie replied to Idkwhattoput's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager gave you a proverbial "get out of jail free" card. My advice is to to take it. Make a year on a Med-Surg floor work. Keep under the radar and your mouth closed about how much you detest...

    Foreign Nurse- Can I take NCLEX ?

    Wuzzie replied to Anna A's topic in Nurse Registration

    You will have to talk to someone at the Board of Nursing in California but I'm afraid this may be a difficult process for you. You have to prove your education meets California standards and will have...

    CMA playing "Nurse Manager?" CMA boundaries? NPD?

    CoWorker using a patient's medication

    Wuzzie replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Mentor, of course. Support bad behavior and follow up excuses...no. That's the worst thing we can do for a colleague in trouble. It's not a matter of me not liking your responses. You really need to...

    CoWorker using a patient's medication

    Wuzzie replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is patently untrue. What is true is that we don't sugar coat things. People ask for honest responses/opinions and they get them. Sometimes they don't like what they hear and they clap back. It's...

    CoWorker using a patient's medication

    Wuzzie replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it was reported to your superiors it is on them to contact the BON. Not your job to police what management does or does not do. You can feel safe to remove yourself from the situation and no longer...

    Treating an ex family member

    Wuzzie replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    Like I said even if they can't pin a HIPAA violation on you they certainly have grounds for a boundary violation and the board will not like that. I would get an

    Treating an ex family member

    Wuzzie replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    You got in a chart you know you shouldn't have. You put it right out here for all to see when you said you were "curious". Somebody else could have done it. This was a minefield you shouldn't have...

    Treating an ex family member

    Wuzzie replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    It's HIPAA and it's going to be your word against hers. Who do you think they will listen to? Also even if they can't prove a HIPAA violation it was most certainly a boundry violation. Still in the...

    Treating an ex family member

    Wuzzie replied to nurse_lime's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't resign just yet but you might want to retain an attorney. Even if you resign there very well could be board actions. This could get ugly

    highschool prep for nusing

    Wuzzie replied to SARAH NAFEZ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best person to talk to would be your academic counselor. They can find out the requirements for the schools you are interested in applying. I seriously doubt a lack of AP bio is going to hamper...

    Patient care positions that require limited walking?

    Wuzzie replied to brendan's topic in General Nursing

    Did you even read the original post? She has an issue with her leg that is making it difficult for her to do her job. It's reasonable to assume that the issue is walking and/or standing. Show me a...

    Patient care positions that require limited walking?

    Wuzzie replied to brendan's topic in General Nursing

    Uh, guys, she's not a nurse yet. She'd have to get through nursing school clinicals and probably a year at the bedside before any of these jobs being mentioned are possible. If she's an MA, and I...

    Pre-nursing student

    Wuzzie replied to Olivia Holguin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At the risk of being accused of peeing in your wheaties I'm wondering how you think you might be able to successfully manage or lead nurses without actually having been one. My advice is to do the...

    OB Unit for Male Student

    Wuzzie replied to nurse2bguy555's topic in General Students

    Can they cluster your clinicals and maybe you could stay at a hotel (the school should pay for it honestly) rather than driving back and forth? That seems to be a reasonable compromise since they are...
