1. A little down

   BEDPAN76 replied to NurseOnAMotorcycle's topic in General Nursing

   Are you a new nurse? How old are you? Sometimes you will find that co-workers can have a "warped" sense of humor. If you don't feel better soon, see your family doctor. Hang in there! It is normal in this profession to feel depressed from time ...

2. Help! What would you do?

   BEDPAN76 replied to DeniseLee's topic in CNA/MA

   I wouldn't worry about it too much. It is what it is. in the future, you might just say, " Oh, enough for now" and change the subject. Really can't see why you should lose your job.....Relax!

3. It's Not MY Responsibility to Get YOU Home...

   BEDPAN76 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Emergency

   It could be YOU! We are all only a couple of paychecks away from being in this position. My heart goes out to patients who have nowhere to go.

4. Sharing Prescription Drugs

   BEDPAN76 replied to Finally2008's topic in General Nursing

   Hopefully they aren't nurses! Don't think it is a felony, let alone reportable. Instead, use it as an opportunity to teach and explain to them all the reasons that this is a dangerous idea.

5. dui: diversion program or take chance with nursing board

   BEDPAN76 replied to Othelady's topic in Criminal

   This is not legal advice, but if the DUI is w/out complications such as a wreck, and is first offense, I would get a lawyer (thru your malpractice carrier, usually $10,000 coverage ) and go before the Board. Probation due to a DUI, to me, is better t...

6. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

   BEDPAN76 replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

   Agree w/ above poster. Her drive home was the main priority at that time...Did she make it? Hope so, because since OP described her as "swaying" . she probably would NOT have passed a roadside sobriety test. Many people would then feel guilty for l...

7. kardex

   BEDPAN76 replied to afteralltheseyears's topic in Geriatric

   Kardexes were Great! Whoever decided to get rid of them were anuses. I know I'm an old nurse but they were so helpful and written in pencil to facilitate updates. Back in the good old days, the Kardex WAS the care plan,,,,

8. Pet Nurse?!

   BEDPAN76 replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

   That is what I should have done 35 years ago. Be a cat nurse. I would probably be in a better place mentally right now....... Seriously, though, you are right. Not just anybody should use the title of nurse. Vet Tech sounds impressive enough to me.....

9. Info on Amedysis for anyone interested

   BEDPAN76 replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

   thanks. Sadly, not surprising.

10. am i understanding this correctly?

    BEDPAN76 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Recovery

    A nurse should NEVER EVER even mention any meds she is prescribed at her place of employment. There are too many mean-spirited and two-faced people who are backstabbers looking to start trouble and rumors. Sad but true.

11. Is it all in my head?

    BEDPAN76 replied to ShaBBy23's topic in Stress 101

    Wow, Najah! Did any of this happen on the job? You might want to consider a desk-type job. I have mild fibromyalgia and Lyrica has helped tremendously. Been on Zoloft for years. But, the main thing you need to do is take care of yourself by seeing a...

12. What is going on with me?

    BEDPAN76 replied to MaroonTX's topic in Stress 101

    Could be a lot of things. Depression, menopause, anemia etc. But most importantly, you need to get a complete medical work-up. ASAP. When we are caught up in the merry-go-round of nursing school, we often neglect taking care of ourselves and/or ign...

13. L&D CNA....what do they do?

    BEDPAN76 replied to afox's topic in Ob/Gyn

    same things with more clean ups and more orders from RNs. My advice is just wait till your'e a nurse:smokin:

14. Do they have to know? I need help!!!

    BEDPAN76 replied to RNOTODAY's topic in Recovery

    Just taper down, like decrease by one per day. Then you will avoid getting into an UNFAIR situation with BON.
