Nursing Scope Of Practice

November 13, 2024 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 2 Comments

  As a licensed nurse, you are trained to follow orders and document your actions. However, in some circumstances, you may be asked to do something outside your nursing scope of practice. For example, have you ever had a supervisor say, “Just write an order for that.  We always do that to help out the physicians”?  In that situation, your supervisor has put you between a rock and a hard place.  They are telling you one thing but your gut is saying, “Hey!  Wait a minute!  I don’t have an … [Read more...]

Nursing And The Coronavirus

March 12, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. 2 Comments

A nurse working at Kaiser in California took care of a patient who was positive for the coronavirus.  She volunteered to care for this patient because she had training on the recommended protective gear.  Her assumption was that should something happen to her, she would be cared for.

Trusted Nurses

January 23, 2020 by LORIE A BROWN, R.N., M.N., J.D. Leave a Comment

In a Gallup Poll, nursing has again been voted as the most trusted profession for the 18th year in a row. One of the reasons it has been so long acclaimed is because of nursing ethics.  However, anything that nurses do that may not put our profession in the most favorable light, can be detrimental. In an MTV reality TV show “Scrubbing In”, they portrayed nurses going to bars in their scrubs.  This negatively portrayed the nursing profession.  We are held to high standards, just like a … [Read more...]
