    NoctuRNal_UnicoRN posted a topic in Virginia Nursing

    Is it like this everywhere now?

    Yep. Daily occurrence. Worse most days, actually, because new MUSTS are added weekly or previous musts are changed. This is why many nurses leave the hospital, bedside, go back to school or leave...

    Expiration date checks on supplies

    NoctuRNal_UnicoRN replied to stellabella236's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like an incident happened with expired products? ? That's unacceptable. If you're an RN, that is also a senseless waste of your patient care time, when this task could be delegated to a tech or...

    Notified of call before being on call

    NoctuRNal_UnicoRN replied to rlgiv's topic in General Nursing

    The policy should have clearly defined what is to happen during call situations, which it obviously didn't, considering it "couldn't be found" by the manager. I would guess that the manager knew their...

    Nurse Gives Lethal Dose of Vecuronium Instead of Versed

    NoctuRNal_UnicoRN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    We have nurses like this in both the hospitals I've been in. They are referred to as "SWAT" nurses. The acronym can mean different things. They are essentially a resource nurse, or circulating nurse,...

    Thank you for the input! St. Luke's is a significantly smaller entity than Essentia, and I think that might be a good starting point for working in the area. I've been to Essentia a few times visiting...
