  1. Asked to give an anesthesia medication

    kp2016 replied to laurencsmile's topic in General Nursing

    I just re read the initial post (apparently I didn’t read it all) I’ve given glycopyrrolate instead of atropine in PACU and during RN moderate separations as it was on our standing orders and...

  2. Asked to give an anesthesia medication

    kp2016 replied to laurencsmile's topic in General Nursing

    I have administered Glycopyorrolate many times for bradicardia. It is not an “anesthesia” drug and certainly isn’t outside the scope of practise of an

  3. Nurses Refilling Prescriptions

    kp2016 replied to Garden's topic in General Nursing

    The key to this situation is written standing orders. As long as you have a very clear standing order / policy this is fine. You are gathering a recent nursing history and implementing the Doctors...

  4. Was I fired or did I quit? Do I have to report it to the BON?

    kp2016 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    This was exactly what I was thinking. I note your initial post mentioned that they had planned to give you a "shortened orientation". I think they had hopped they had hired a nurse who could be up and...

  5. Nursing license question

    kp2016 replied to Valley_girl1021's topic in General Nursing

    Just because your state has a multi state license option does not mean you automatically have one. For example in the state of Kansas you need to be fingerprinted and select Multi State to change your...

  6. What are your views on switching days with people?

    kp2016 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    It really doesn’t bother me as long as I didn’t have other plans and it’s not a case of a co worker taking advantage of me to make their schedule better at my expense. I worked in a very small...

  7. mediation with BON..What should I expect?

    kp2016 replied to TXStrong's topic in General Nursing

    5 years since this alleged event and they are still messing with you and your unrestricted license, It's astounding to me that the BON(s) have the audacity to claim they are protecting the public....

  8. Sign a contract??? Help

    kp2016 replied to nurseypie's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes it can be hard to see the forest for the trees, so I've removed a heap of trees for you. I'm normally against running up huge student loan bills, but honestly the fees at your school sound...

  9. Suspended imprisonment order

    kp2016 replied to Curiouscriminal's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I’m not a lawyer and this is a question for the board of nursing or a lawyer.... I seem to recall way way way back on my first day of nursing lectures we were told to immediately speak to the head...

  10. PICU, NICU, or Peds ER as New Grad?

    kp2016 replied to pedsrntobe's topic in General Nursing

    Having done a residency that included General ER, ICU and OR and then worked for years in multiple ER's and OR's it's my opinion that by far the most important factor is the culture of the particular...

  11. Need Advice

    kp2016 replied to Cmanursestudenta's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are being paid to be on call or it is in your job description that you will immediately respond to phone communication you are under no obligation to have your phone on. Given all that is...

  12. Boyfriend wants me to stay away

    kp2016 replied to LauRN3367's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ... maybe he has a point. Maybe the posters who have suggested you are being unreasonable to expect him to share your exposure have a point. But bottom line is, he is your boyfriend and has insisted...

  13. PH-RN ask to repeat whole nursing program by BRN

    kp2016 replied to osis's topic in International Nursing

    I would suggest you approach a nursing agency who specializes in recruiting international nurses for RN jobs in the USA. They will know which states are "easier" for nurses from the Philippines,...

  14. How should I approach a request to transfer?

    kp2016 replied to FLnurse1127's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    When they pull you to work as a CNA are you being paid as an RN or a CNA? If they are paying you as an RN and other staff are also being pulled in this way I would say you probably need to take your...

  15. How should I approach a request to transfer?

    kp2016 replied to FLnurse1127's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As you don't hate your current unit I would suggest you wait until you have a solid 12 months on the unit then apply for a transfer. In the meantime focus on what you can do to make yourself a...

  16. Am I being overly cautious? Covid-19

    kp2016 replied to Orion81RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Your not overreacting. Your mother is probably bored now that she isn't actively helping her family and involved with social activities. If I were you I would explore options that would help keep her...

  17. Abandonment

    kp2016 replied to Nurseynurse1418's topic in General Nursing

    I suspect there are actually 3 issues here, patient was "very critical", "I had nothing charted" "unable to give report" I agree it's harsh to throw you under the bus for getting sick at work. I'm...

  18. Shoulds I Consider Transferring?

    kp2016 replied to Pulsar's topic in General Nursing

    You may well have a point. When this happened to me I was very shocked that HR and management were well aware of the situation and were very happy to ignore

  19. Should I mention husband passing reason for relocating?

    kp2016 replied to namaste111's topic in General Nursing

    Relocating back home to be near family is a very tidy, socially acceptable answer. I have learned the hard way, don't ever volunteer personal

  20. Shoulds I Consider Transferring?

    kp2016 replied to Pulsar's topic in General Nursing

    It appears that your manager is aware that your preceptor was behaving in a very unprofessional way towards you and was not giving you fair unbiased performance reviews. If they believed the terrible...

  21. Alarming conditions of a job offer letter

    kp2016 replied to guest1107684's topic in General Nursing

    It's worth keeping in mind the priority of most managers is the overall staff mix of their units, what a potential candidate actually wants is not a priority at all. I was at a job interview a few...

  22. Leaving before projected end date?

    kp2016 replied to octopus510's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    They can only do what you allow them to do. When they called to tell you that your am shift had been switched to night shift the answer should have been “no, I am not available for night shift”...

  23. Graphic Gossip

    kp2016 replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Funny. This is exactly what I was thinking when I read your original post. I too would not get out of bed for this. The last time I was nominated for a Daisy award I stayed home and had some wine as...

  24. Arrogant "know it all" RN

    kp2016 replied to ArrowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As your new I would recommend keeping your head down and let the staff who have been their longer log the complaints. When the **** hits the fan it tends to go everywhere. Best to stand back so it...

  25. Recent DUI & Job Offer

    kp2016 replied to xohhelloox's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I suggest you head over to the Recovery Board and start chatting with those folks. I am not in any way implying that this isn't a one off, but they have a lot of insight in how to navigate this very...
