Sponge Count Off, Patient Develops Sepsis, Surgeon Blames Nurse. #surgery #surgical #surgeon #nursefriendly

Sponge Count Off, Patient Develops Sepsis, Surgeon Blames Nurse. #surgery #surgical #surgeon #nursefriendly:"Sponge Counts are a basic and critical safety measure during a surgical operation.  In this case, the standard three counts were not performed.  A sponge was left in the patient that would later lead to infection.  When the issue went to court, the surgeon claimed "it was not his responsibility" to keep track of the sponges. The patient was admitted for surgical repair of a hernia.  The operation was performed and the patient returned to the floors without obvious incident."

SoleProprietorships, Limited Liability Company (LLC), Corporations. Which Business organizations did you choose & why?:"When setting up my business, my main goal was tax write-offs that I knew the #Fortune500 companies had been taking forever. My "corporate" address is my home, my business in lieu of "rent" pays most utilities, my cell phones, owns my car and can write or pay in "Pre-Tax" dollars (imagine a 30% discount on every monthly utility bill for life)."

Ending Nurse Bullying: "Freire Style" Renee Thompson, MSN, RN, @RTconnections #nurseup #bullying

Ending Nurse Bullying: "Freire Style" Renee Thompson, MSN, RN, @RTconnections #nurseup #bullying:"Nurse bullying is a problem. But is it a new problem? The answer is no. Humans treating humans with disrespect has been documented since we walked on two feet instead of four. I’m sure there is a caveman drawing somewhere depicting bullying behavior. Although I’d like to believe we’ve evolved a bit since the caveman era, humans treating humans badly still exists.

It’s no different in the nursing profession. However, bullying just seems more perverse in a profession dedicated to caring and compassion. It just doesn’t make sense. How can nurses, who are equals, pick on each other? Isn’t nursing challenging enough without having our own peers making it worse? I just don’t get it. Neither did Paulo Freire, a sociologist, who spent time in various countries observing human behavior. Dr. Freire witnessed people oppressing each other – peers oppressing peers. Not administration/government oppressing the people. In his book, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Dr. Freire’s offers us a solution to oppression by taking an in-depth look at the dynamics between the oppressor and the oppressed. I took the liberty of adapting his recommendations to nurse bullying."

Sleep Apnea Monitor Turned off or Ignored By Nursing Staff, Patient's Coding Goes Unnoticed

Sleep Apnea Monitor Turned off or Ignored By Nursing Staff, Patient's Coding Goes Unnoticed:"Monitors and Monitored patients present special challenges to practicing
nurses. Like a call bell, when alarms on a monitor are activated, they can signal benign or life-threatening events. In this case, a patient's monitors did not alarm as expected.
The patient was in distress and would be found without respirations and pulseless by the nurse on duty.
