Nurse Sued For "Too Many Sticks" How Many Attempts Is Too Many?:"Summary: Starting Intravenous Lines and Performing Venipunctures are basic nursing skills in the Acute Care or Hospital settings. In this case, a female patient would accuse a male nurse of negligence and causing a resulting injury when he needed three attempts to successfully start an intravenous catheter.

The female patient came to the hospital with vague complaints of abdominal pain and was evaluated in the Emergency Department. The physician’s orders for treatment included intravenous medications for which a line would need to be started.

“Up to 90% of patients who require health care services need some form of I.V. therapy. Unfortunately, many hospitals have done away with I.V. teams, so you may be responsible for inserting and maintaining I.V. lines even if you're inexperienced or have limited opportunities to keep your skills sharp."

Nursing Duty To Patient, "Does Not Guarantee" Safety Or Quality Of Care, #Nurseup, #Nursing, #Malpractice #Lawsuits

Nursing Duty To Patient, "Does Not Guarantee" Safety Or Quality Of Care.:"Summary: When a nurse accepts report and responsibility for the care of a patient a duty to the patient is also accepted. This duty is to provide a reasonable standard of care as defined by the Nurse Practice Act of the individual state and the facility Policy & Procedures. In this case, a post-op abdominal aneurysm repair patient was injured after falling from his bed to the floor. When a lawsuit was filed the court initially mistook expert testimony to imply the role of the nurse includes a guarantee of safety.
Downey v. Mobile Infirmary Med. Ctr. - 662 So. 2d 1152 (1995).

+Nadine Grzeskowiak @GlutenFreeRN presenting "Gluten-Free: Fad or Epidemic," at#NNBA2013: #nurseup #Gluten

+Nadine Grzeskowiak @GlutenFreeRN  presenting "Gluten-Free: Fad or Epidemic," at#NNBA2013: 

"Learn about the basics of gluten intolerance and what it means to lead a gluten free lifestyle. Nadine Grzeskowiak, RN, CEO and Founder of Gluten Free RN, and Celiac Nurse Consulting has more than 17 years of experience working in emergency departments and trauma centers. In 2006, her career focus shifted dramatically with her diagnosis of celiac disease. As a result, Nadine is now a national expert and speaker on the recognition and treatment for gluten intolerance and celiac disease. She is presenting a talk at the 28th Annual Nurses in Business Education Conference titled Gluten-Free: Fad or Epidemic on Sunday, October 6, at 11:30 a.m." — with Nadine Grzeskowiak.

Nurse Advises "Reconsider Choice of Physicians" An Nurse's Ethical Dilemma. Robert W. Stein, III, RN, MSHA, CHE, #nurseup

Nurse Advises "Reconsider Choice of Physicians" An Nurse's Ethical Dilemma. Robert W. Stein, III, RN, MSHA, CHE, LNC:"In this case the nurse providing patient care noted a decline in the patient's condition, evidenced by weight loss, hallucinations, psychiatric symptoms, and acute distress. The findings were documented and attempts were made to contact the attending physician. The attending physician, however, failed to return any of telephone messages.
As the patient's condition continued to deteriorate, the patient's family asked for the nurse's advice about what should be done for the patient. The nurse suggested that they "reconsider the choice of physicians."
The facility promptly fired the nurse after learning of the advice she had given to the patient's family. The nurse brought suit for wrongful termination arguing that as a Registered Nurse she was obligated to provide "teaching and counseling" to her patients and their families."
