  1. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hoping to get some support for my story. Please be kind because this involves the death of my mom. My mom had metastatic breast cancer for 3 years and passed away Apr. 2021. She was in the ICU, then...

  2. burnout

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to vanurseny's topic in Telephone Triage

    Yes. Callers can be resistant to anything we say. I always want to say "then why did you call if you don't want my

  3. burnout

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to vanurseny's topic in Telephone Triage

    The Telehealth job I do is the same thing. Deciding if the patient needs the ED or if they can wait for an appointment. Prior ED experience is not required. We had an intense 6 weeks of training. We...

  4. burnout

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to vanurseny's topic in Telephone Triage

    You don't need a certificate where I worked. I don't think you need one in any telehealth job. You just need 1 year of nursing experience where I worked. I applied at a hospital that has telehealth...

  5. Kaiser Call Center Questions

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Genista's topic in Telephone Triage

    Yes there is a high turnover because you will be micromanaged. It is a different kind of stress but it can even be more stressful than the bedside because you usually get 30-40 calls in 8 hrs with no...

  6. Kaiser Call Center Questions

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Genista's topic in Telephone Triage

    This is an old post but you have to live within an hour of the call center to work as a Kaiser advice

  7. Kaiser Advice Nurse Interview Question

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Irah0526's topic in Telephone Triage

    They will ask you basic questions. You need to have a minimum 1 year nursing experience. They're so short staffed honestly they will hire pretty much any nurse. Kaiser takes a long time to get back to...

  8. burnout

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to vanurseny's topic in Telephone Triage

    I worked in telephone advice for 7 years and I hated it more and more each day. Too much micromanagement, rude callers, high call volume and a high nurse turn over rate. I now have a new job in...

  9. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi. Actually she wasn't experiencing terminal agitation. She was vomiting so I asked for Ativan. I don't think it was a high dose. I think it allowed her body to relax. Yes, I do believe the...

  10. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much for the support. I know I helped her die peacefully. It's just been bothering me because my sister and I were both surprised at how quickly the Ativan worked, especially my sister...

  11. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to thank all of you who replied and helped me feel better. I wish I would have posted about this a year ago. I've reheorificed the Ativan scenario in my mind since my mom passed. This bizarre...

    Thank you so

  13. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much. I have been upset about how quickly the Ativan worked since she passed. I question myself off and on for asking for the Ativan. Then when this nurse said you can't push Ativan I...

  14. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I remember pushing Ativan in the NICU so my brain started playing tricks on me when this nurse said you don't push Ativan. Yes, I played the role of nurse and daughter at the same time to...

  15. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    That article even says Ativan is not FDA approved for IV infusion, so push is

    Thank you! I needed to hear

  17. IV Push Ativan

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. So that dosing information doesn't mention if it is a slow infusion on a pump or a slow push. I guess there isn't much difference. Maybe I am looking too much into this. I was just shocked...

  18. Tips for a new triager

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Lynker's topic in Telephone Triage

    It can be a very mentally stressful job. I have been doing it for 7 years. I take around 30 calls in 8 hours. You will learn how to multitask. Listening, documenting the call and arriving at a safe...

  19. Mom nurses who work remotely. Stay at home?

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Tytta73 L's topic in Telephone Triage

    I work at home as a telephone triage nurse. I take 33 calls in 8 hrs. There is no way a mom with small children could do this job and watch their kids. Most telephone triage jobs are very high call...

  20. I want to quit....Or find something new

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to jdb_25's topic in General Nursing

    The problems you mention are exactly why I started in the NICU as a new grad 32 years ago. Babies don't talk, yell or treat you like crap. The parents can sometimes be challenging, but they are...

  21. Research Nursing, my experience

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to desfwi43's topic in Research

    Thank you so much for the information! I have been a nurse for 32 years now. I just applied for a research position. I am so excited HR called me. Now I am just waiting for the manager to hopefully...

  22. When will I know I'm investigated?

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to The6nurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    the hospital will let you know before the board of nursing. In my state, I know of someone who did something 2 years ago and the BRN is just now investigating. Things take awhile when it comes to the...

  23. NICU or PICU?

    Nurse Nonnie RN replied to Paulini's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I worked in the NICU for 25 years. I didn't like PICU because the patients were sometimes older and bigger, and I didn't like to see any kind of child abuse patients. I preferred the tiny NICU...
