I'm sorry, but your question doesn't make any sense.  I can't tell if you're asking about infusions, which are herbal preparations, or about some type of procedure that a nurse would perform.  Rephrase your question and we'll be happy to help you.

According to medical professionals, the answer is no. Who truly knows? Don't either of you know a nurse who can help with dosage? You could make an anonymous call to the E.R. and tell the nurse on call the situation and that she cannot be talked out of taking the med. Sometimes they can/will help.

Accurate dosage of medicine, otherwise u will underdose, in which case the medicine does no good, or u may overdose and do further harm or actually kill the patient. Have u not heard of cc`s, drams, ounces, milligrams, etc, these r all measurements used in nursing.

It depends on what kind of nurse you are.  Unilike doctors, nurses do not specialize until after graduation.  In general, in the hospital environment, nurses monitor and assess the patients and inform doctors of any changes or complications.  Doctors write orders, and nurses carry out those orders.  Things such as medication administration, dressing changes, inserting IVs and catheters, drawing blood and the like.  Nurses are the front line.  We spend the most time with patients, know when things are going wrong, and are the first responders in an emergency.  Nurses also serve as advocates for their patients, and spend a great deal of time planning the best care, and teaching a patient and their family on diagnoses, and health maintancence.  I love being a nurse!

Take vitals, dign in patients, prepare rooms, clean rooms/instruments. Restock medecines, answer phones, doctors assistant. Pretty much everything, depending on the doctor if they train you to they also let you give shots. Call in presecriptions, ahndle patient folders (confidential information). Write perscriptions with the doctors signature. Hope that helps.

Communicating with doctors, nurses and patients is very important.\n\nYou have to  understand the doctors.  Relate to other nurses.  And figure out what patients want.

Wow, I covered this a couple years ago, and then I changed my mind about becoming a nurse so I don't remember the formula for it, here are some interesting sites that tell you how:\n\nSHORTCUT for IV flow rate calculation:\nhttp://www.merritt.edu/~nurs/calculat.html\n\nFormula & rules:\nhttp://www.delta.edu/tlc/TLCStudySupport/mathforscience/NursingMath/IVFlowRate/ivflowrate.html\n\nTest yourself with this online quiz:\nhttp://www.unc.edu/~bangel/quiz/testiv.htm

You can send all those nice things listed above after you do what is most important.  Get the names of the nurses and write a letter to the hospitals nursing supervisor and also having one copied for the depts. nursing adminstrator.  Within the letter list the names of the nurses and how much you appreciated what they did.  This makes such a positive impact on the staff and increases the moral of the unit.  This results in something more rewarding than any gift cert. of any kind and sometimes increases the staffs wages when it comes eval. time.

I believe that it is 10mg per day but in divided doses and never more than 2.5mg at a time... the max dose is for people under medical supervision and should not be tried at home... I recommend Davis's Drug Guide for Nurses for that kind of info... can be bought at walmart

There are hundreds of different types of nurses just as there are lots of different specialities of doctors.  There are nurses on surgical wards, medical wards, orthopaedic wards, intensive care units, renal wards and units, operating theatres, A&E depts.  There are GP practice nurses, district nurses, nurse practitioners, nurse consultants, research nurses, rehab. nurses, out-patient nurses, health promotion nurses,nursing home nurses, hospice nurses and many many more.  Nurses are professionals who, as part of a team care for patients to promote recovery or make as comfortable as possible where recovery is not acheivable.  They make important decisions on the treatment of individuals and it's about time that they were recognised by the Government and the corrupt NHS managers (who haven't a clue what patients need)  for their important role!

What?  If you are getting a blood transfusion the doctor will order how many units they want you to receive.  Every unit is not an exact amount.  The amount can vary slightly.  If you had a few extra cc's no big deal - if you were transfused with many units more than you needed, that would be a different story (er nurse).

Dear Classychris,\nm not a nurse but i work with them all the time.\ntruth is in a hospital, a Doctor / Surgeon would do his job (diagnosis, surgery,prescribe med) for the patientn its upto the on duty nurse to see that everything is done meticulously.the nurses i know love their job but are exhausted cos its a major big job!\none thing i can tell U for sure... Doctors truly truly appreciate having a dependable nurse around. it makes things so much easier for everyone.\nmost patients open up to nurses cos they interact with them so much more than the docs.n a patient would usually remember the nurse a lot more than the doc too... honest!\nso if U a nurse and no one has told U yet.... Thank U for being a Nurse! Your work is truly appreciated.\ntake care

I'm a nurse at UCI medical center. \nNurse = RN\n\nAt times, I am forced to say I'm an R.N. because nursing assistants, medical assistants, etc. tend to say they are a nurse. No disrespect to them.\n\nThis profession wants a change to where the term "nurse" should be said with pride. I have answered questions to what I do and a follow up question is, "Are you a full-blown RN?" My argument is that a nurse is an R.N.\n\nSo, the answer to your question is a nurse is an R.N., but you may want to ask if they are a CNA (certified nursing assistant), LVN or LPN (licensed vocational nurse or licensed practical nurse), or an R.N. (registered nurse).\n\nWe, nurses, want that term back, so that we can say it again with pride. We went to a lot of schooling for this and it upsets me when I hear a non-R.N. say they are a nurse.

the best gift you can give to a nurse is to write a letter of thanks and appreciation to her boss and the administrator of the hospital.  Most likely the letter will be posted for all to see or read at a meeting and put in the nurse's personnel file and she will feel very good about that.  We all like to be thanked for doing our jobs.
