  1. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    Any time of day or night in OB. I worked with several docs...OB and Peds....who would blow when stressed. I think sometimes they were tired when stretched thin especially when they were on big call and running back and forth to the ED, OR, the hospit...
  2. From the mouths of non-nurses

    OMG these are hilarious! When I was working OB a young husband came running down the hall from the shower room hollaring..."We need help in there...my wife just passed her liver in the shower!!" I have to admit, it was a pretty big clot!
  3. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    This topic needs to be discussed IMO. Poor treatment by the very people that need you to remain in practice gets very old in itself. I agree we have satisfied the topic as far as Tired MD's piece, but hardly the big picture. I think especially younge...
  4. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    I really like this post! Women are more likely to be intimidated by yelling. Now I see it as more of an annoyance and counter-productive, but when I first entered nursing, I was very affected by the tone a doctor would take with me. I was doing my be...
  5. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    Of course I've yelled at people when frustrated, but in retrospect I know it was not an effective way to communicate. It was a mistake in judgement during a time of my own stress.
  6. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    I can remember one doc I used to work with...very smart, great surgeon and a total perfectionist with a tendency to yell loudly no matter where he was when he was frustrated. One super busy day he was upset at a nurse for not having his patient ready...
  7. Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    "There's a tendency on this board to equate yelling with some kind of hideous assault that leaves people emotionally scarred. I've never understood that, and personally I'm grateful I've never worked in a place where people shared that attitude. Ther...
  8. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    OOOPPPS..sorry wrong thread!!
  9. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    That appears to be so... http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1548515
  10. Tainted Love is the perfect work song!!!
  11. All great suggestions MIZZ...the problem with hospital policies and campaigns like these is they never seem to ask the people who could truly help put an effective policy in place...the nurses!
  12. Are you a nurse from a dysfunctional family?

    I used to think nurses were more dysfunctional that the general population, but have reconsidered that stance. I think when you are with nurses day in day out, you get to know them and start thinking we must all come from messed up places. But, since...
  13. Respiratory MRSA

    Thank you for all you are doing...and for those links. I know it is personal to you, but you are helping many with your efforts. I sent you a PM...I look forward to reading your proposal.
  14. Respiratory MRSA

    I am sorry to hear of your tragic loss. This is especially pertinent to me as I am in Maine. I work in the community mental health field and am always looking for the most current recommendations and find standards to be sorely lacking Thus I hesitan...
  15. Please interpret this med order

    The doctor is saying the patient can have 15mg/Q3h. I like these orders. This allows the patient to take only what they need. If they ask for a portion of the Q3h dosage and find more is needed before the 3 hour period is up, they can take up to 15mg...
