1. Feeling threatened by your patients

   leeca replied to rachel h's topic in General Nursing

   l work in a nursing home, l've been screamed at, hit, punched, scratched and nearly got a kick in the head. l've also put up with verbal abuse. l treat my clients with dignity and respect so l feel l should not have to put up with this behaviour. The...

2. Stinky Butts!!

   leeca replied to yougohelen's topic in General Nursing

   l get a little paranoid in that area, if l have to go to the docs and he has to poke around my butt, l shower just before l leave, then went l get there l rush to the toilet and clean the area again. It maybe overkill but l want to be sure l'm clean.

3. Nursing and Piercings?

   leeca replied to Wuiteroz's topic in General Nursing

   While l was at school some of the students had eyebrow piercings, one worked part time at a hospital and he never cover it up. While on placings they weren't told to cover them, some of the guys also had a couple of earrings as well. l have a navel p...

5. worried

   leeca replied to sarahd27's topic in General Nursing

   Been there, done that. l did pass all my exams, a couple l just scraped through but at least l passed. Better to worry than to be overconfident. If you haven't failed anything yet, you most likely will pass your tests.

7. Doctor Asked For A "Kind" Nurse

   leeca replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

   Seems l'm getting a little hot under the collar. Sorry about that. l grew up a JW, non practising now, but l copped a lot of teasing and l was hassled because of my parents beliefs, so l tend to go on the defensive if l feel under attack. l can fully...

   Unnfortunately sometimes this happens, but bear in mind this is the parents personnal decision, not all parents react this way if a family member leaves the JW faith.

   leeca replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

   There are not many branches of JW, no matter what state or country they are from they all believe the sme things. No matter where the live the blood issue is the same. As you pointed out you aren't a JW, then how do you know what you are stating is a...

10. Doctor Asked For A "Kind" Nurse

    leeca replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you sure this is true. If the family member was an adult who wasn't not of the faith, then the other family member who was can't make the decision about not accepting blood for them.

    This statement is inaccurate.

12. Doctor Asked For A "Kind" Nurse

    leeca replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    The same statement was said about a relative of mine "nothing is going to save this patient except blood products", which was refused. And guess what she's still alive and now fit and healthy. Guess the docs aren't god after all and can't predict wh...

13. Doctor Asked For A "Kind" Nurse

    leeca replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whatdo you mean "standing up to parents such as these", l'm astounded at the comments made with absolutely no understanding of what you are talking about.

    Jehovah's Witnesses don't believe that they will go to heaven.

15. Doctor Asked For A "Kind" Nurse

    leeca replied to LasVegasRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is such a stupid statement. Just because they don't accept blood doesn't mean that they won't accept alternative treatment.
