1. Sharing Personal Information at Work

   Beijos replied to Urban_Durga's topic in General Nursing

   I understand the relationship question and why you might not want to provide that information. I doubt this is the situation that you are in but when I initially started on my unit, I hated that question. Not because I didn't like answering it but I ...

4. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

   Beijos replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

   I would have docked you all of your grade for the day. One day you will need help, or be seen as "incompetent" to another...probably when you graduate. I don't care how much you know someday you won't understand something. How would you feel if those...

6. Will you add your patient in facebook?

   Beijos replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

   I had a patient once that obviously did not have many friends as I learned while caring for them. After they were discharged they facebooked me...I did not accept and felt bad about it. He actually worked at the hospital as well but I felt I didn't k...

   Have you ever thought the nursing staff knows your a nurse and with the patient? And/Or your grandmother is the least acute of the patients that she has...and she might be having one of those days? I know I have been there. I one time only had the op...

9. How often do your pts thank you?

   Beijos replied to cmonkey's topic in General Nursing

   I love everyone's perception of the south and southern hospitality. I used to live in the north but now I am in the south. Where I lived up north, my patients often did not say please, thank you, etc... after each time I was in the room but when the...

    Beijos replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

14. Port-a-cath needle size?

    Beijos posted a topic in General Nursing

    How do you know what size needle you need for a port-a-cath? Is it just trial and error? The reason I ask is I accessed one the other day for the first time with a 20g x 1inch needle with the help of a nurse who had accessed one before. It seemed lik...
