3. sharing the love in the critical unit

   winsteadcm replied to angelwings777's topic in Humor

   those are the best patients. and things like this give me no doubt that God exsists. we had a little old lady one day that was comfort care only and her family was at the bedside all the time. she was the worst she had ever been and we all knew it wo...

4. Pt and sexual advances

   winsteadcm replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

   most of the time i can just ignore them. but i've gotten comfortable in my job, and now i can look at someone and tell them that they will not speak to me that way. if it continues, i go for an authority figure. we've had problems like this before a...

   i agree 100%. i myself would never reject a child because of illness, however if those people would, i wouldn't want them to end up with a child like that. the child probably wouldn't get the care it needed.

   you think that most people have enough sense not to do stupid things with fireworks but i learned otherwise 2 years ago from my ex. he ended up being a pt because we were drinking with some friends when he broke out the fireworks and ended up with 2n...
