1. Do you still hold doors for women?

   rebelgirl#1 replied to gtshin30303's topic in Male Students

   I hold the door open. I figure it is a nice gesture for one and all. My husband holds and lets people come through. Old men say Thanks and get the door so my husband can catch up with me. Young guys walk through. Most women say Thanks.

5. forcing baths on dementia patients?

   rebelgirl#1 replied to PDXnursing's topic in CNA/MA

   Yikes. I gave baths for a long time in the late 70's and early 80's to people who did not want baths. Most of time there is a way to talk them into baths, bird bath, shower. Something but not throwing water on them. I would be gunning to get you i...

6. Ratted out a co-worker and now feel guilty

   rebelgirl#1 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

   My husband said it best. You are setting the record straight. I do not like the work ratted out. If she made an honest mistake and was correcting it, the off to the boss you raced that is ratting. I have seen diversion at its finest, where your ...

   rebelgirl#1 replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

   hello, I have owned and rode motorcycles all my life. We have had dirt bikes, hondas, harleys and now a trike. Most of our close calls have came from someone who does not watch the road. But they do not watch the road if you are in a cage. In my l...

   rebelgirl#1 replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

   Oh what a wonderful vent site. I so needed this laugh and am still quietly snickering while drinking my ice tea. Please continue the vents. I miss those comments at work. Right now they are all mean and stuck up. I do my work and come home.

    rebelgirl#1 replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    All good advise. Make sure that you keep copies of everything. Keep the tapes, and show that the person is calling you. Then when they keep calling you have the proof that they called you to initiate the contact.

12. My vent and What I will learn from it?

    rebelgirl#1 replied to SmilesNoir's topic in General Nursing

    I am still thinking it is a big deal both in the administration of the wrong vaccine, and then their response. I think a sincere apology and corrective action goes a long ways. If they told you that after this error they have changed the way vaccin...

    I have laughed so hard that I blew my iced tea all over the screen. It was such a busy hard week at work. All the patients were sure that they were owed something now. The management staff were sure that we could give everything to all patients. t...
