1. Preventing back pain

   Lucy1798 posted a topic in Home Health

   How do you position your patients while doing compression wraps? Do you sit on the floor? Have the patient put a foot on a chair? Have them lie in a bed? I'm new to home health and my 42 year old back is screaming.

2. Injection Gone Wrong: Part 3

   How can we protect ourselves from something like this?

   I myself am starting in August at 35 yo. Way to go! I loved this article too.

5. Micromanaging

   Lucy1798 replied to MMC.RN's topic in Relations

   Interesting perspective. :)

6. Micromanaging

   Lucy1798 replied to MMC.RN's topic in Relations

   This sounds like a dreadful situation to be in. I wonder why they are not reprimanding her? Her behavior is very unprofessional. If she seems to treat other people the same way, you know it's not anything you're doing that's rubbing her the wrong way...

7. Concept Mapping for A&P

   Lucy1798 replied to emmjayy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am the same. I can memorize, but it does me no good when I'm actually trying to apply the info. I've thought about concept mapping, but haven't gotten around to trying it yet. So far, my best studying is actually learning the information, not just ...

8. Nurse Bullying

   Lucy1798 replied to Slhengy's topic in Relations

   Let me me just say that if you or anyone you may know has truly been bullied, then I am sorry that happened. But people really need to learn to stand up for themselves, besides learning what constitutes as actual bullying. Bullying, to me, is a const...

9. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

   Lucy1798 replied to Lev's topic in Relations

   Hi, I am not a nurse, but I have dealt with the public for quite a few years. I found that if you empathize with them and give them a plan of action from you personally, they seem to ease up a bit. For example, tell the person you can see she is in a...

10. Never wanna take students again.

    Lucy1798 replied to remotefuse's topic in Relations

    I was a little worried I may get a nurse that was irritated by the additional work of having a student (which I understand may still happen), but it's nice to hear your perspective with the pediatric patient. It's stressful for you, and although you...

11. Never wanna take students again.

    Lucy1798 replied to remotefuse's topic in Relations

    Would you be willing to give some advice on what you wish the student would/would not do? You are right, I would not think about asking a question and it interrupting work flow. I can see how that would be distracting, now that you mention it. I am ...

12. Never wanna take students again.

    Lucy1798 replied to remotefuse's topic in Relations

    I just want to thank you and other nurses for being open-minded about taking students. Without you, we wouldn't be able to witness and experience the lives you impact and the bodies you help heal, every day. I'm sorry for the bad experience you had....
