    Wuzzie replied to NewGrad613's topic in General Nursing

    You need to talk to her and if not her then HR and I rarely recommend going to HR. This is untenable. Nobody should start working without orientation and certainly not a new grad much less a new grad...

    Wuzzie replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    Muno, the problem is that some of the families have denied that their loved one was transitioning to comfort care. I don’t have the reference in front of me but I’ll see if I can find it for

    And no where did it say that you are to carry out every order without question. We are not robots. To follow your line of thinking why do we even study pharmacology or anything beyond how to do basic...

    Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    That would be a big negatron from me. No way would I crack open 20 vials of Fentanyl and then give the resulting 200 mls IV. Nope! Not gonna

    Ohio Hospital Fires 23 After Fentanyl Overdose Deaths

    Wuzzie replied to J.Adderton's topic in Nursing News

    I'm interested in hearing your opinion on how. Just like the RV case these nurses were operating far out of the standard of care. I still remember my nursing instructor drilling into us that if you...

    Getting My Graduate Degree: Is it Worth It?

    Wuzzie replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Some of us had that in nursing school. I did, in spades. Also, many of us have a broad experience base that includes other things than just in-patient
