   Does it annoy you when you see employees with little to no direct patient care wearing much needed PPE

   Kallie3006 replied to DesiDani's topic in COVID

   Just flew into Philadelphia for COVID crisis and the amount of people in the airports wearing N95s is astonishing, the ones that are wearing them properly are few and far between, which is highly frustrating. Then there are all the ones wearing glov...

   Dealing with panicking co-workers

   Kallie3006 replied to Peditra's topic in COVID

   Is it wrong to turn down a shift?

   Kallie3006 replied to Lovethenurse2b25's topic in COVID

   Ultimately the choice of you working shifts outside of your scheduled ones is your choice and it is you and you alone that has to live with the choice you made, whether or not someone on an internet forum agrees with you or not. You can't see the fu...

   My Parents are Nurses and Don’t Support My Withdrawal from Nursing School

   Kallie3006 replied to ACR's topic in General Students

   I Made A Mistake

   Kallie3006 replied to dmarzzz's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe I'm the only one confused but when someone tells or orders a bolus I generally associate that with a "large" volume in a "short" period of time. You stated that you came into the room a short while later, finding the MD, charge, and preceptor ...

   New Electronic Medical Record + Short Staffing = Danger

   Kallie3006 replied to noyesno's topic in General Nursing

   When we went live with computer charting, from paper, we had super users available, only had 2-3 patients at first and employees of the program company that came around and checked on everyone. The doctors also had extra support staff on their side ...

    This is horrible

    Kallie3006 replied to Nitenurse03's topic in Recovery

    I couldn't imagine what families are going through when it comes to the involvement of their children, and how their lives are affected by this woman. I know first hand how life-altering a false positive drug test is and how completely time, mind, b...

    Feeling like a new grad all over again. Stick it out?

    Expiration date checks on supplies

    Kallie3006 replied to stellabella236's topic in General Nursing

    If this was the worst thing that happened to her ( The Doc) this shift, then I would say that is a pretty good shift.

    I once gave a 1x dose of ativan for a patient that the neurosurgeon wanted to watch his EEG on. The doc told me he was ordering it and for what so once it came up to pull I did so and pushed it, then told the doc. Was the doc ready to go? Heck to t...
