  1. Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    This may be the case at your hospital, but not at mine. Unless there is a pattern of egregious errors without improvement, it is never
  2. Bullied for reporting a med error by another nurse

    I love when people post from an alternate account for privacy reasons, and then reply from the main account
  3. CPR Universal Precautions

    you should be covering any open wounds, period. If you really have cuts up and down your arms, I would use bandaids to cover them and wear long
  4. Forbidden Extremity Sign and VTE in Arm

    You did the right thing. In this type of situation, ask yourself what potential harm may come if you do NOT take action (not placing the alert band and sign, resulting in BP taken in that arm that...
  5. Professional (Dis) Courtesy

    Yes, my internist's office has both RNs and
  6. Professional (Dis) Courtesy

    I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer. Some nurses want to be anonymous, and that's okay. Some nurses want to disclose, and that's okay too. Above all, communicate your needs and wants....
  7. $15 Min Wage - Effect on RNs

    Most nurses will have significantly better health insurance through their employers than you would get through Target. Additionally, you would be unlikely to advance to earning much more than minimum...

  10. Ice machine use in hospitals

    This, x1000! I know that when I was a student, if I asked a professor/clinical instructor/preceptor/whatever what the rationale for his/her answer to my question was, and this person told me: "because...
  11. Fear of losing my license

    Thank you! I am so sick and tired of all this "omg I'm going to lose my license!" bs. I promise you that doctors do not obsess about this the way nurses do. If you are doing your job to the best of...
  12. Possible adult admit with minor child in tow

    Actually, I read recently (though I can't remember where, so I don't have a citation) that most deaths from pre-eclampsia/eclampsia occur after delivery because that's the time when she's not being...
  13. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Ok, so it hasn't been charted on, but what was/were the patients diagnosis/diagnoses? Depending on the patient's condition (say, longstanding CHF), it could easily have been expected that an S3 gallop...
  14. Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Seriously?
  15. Tag team elopement

    I believe prosec refers to the little black (usually) boxes that you hold your ID up to in order to unlock the door. Correct me if I'm wrong. As you've already realized, the little purple pill is...
