  1. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    I agree with what JBudd voiced as sound reasoning for asking a spouse to leave during a pelvic exam, but also.....seeing "down there" during the heat of the moment/*making a baby* obviously has a very different feel to it than the clinical setting of...
  2. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    Sweet. Thanks for the info. :)
  3. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    I've missed you guys, too! The site sure has changed, wow....just noticed there isn't a multi-quote feature for replies anymore, bummer (so sorry for not addressing any posts directly, it would take a whole page LOL). What made me the most mad about...
  4. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    I'm not sure where your statement about using HIPAA to cover up substandard care comes from. it sounds like you assume that's the reason that family members are asked to leave. just one of many problems that come up in regards to this topic (family a...
  5. Spouses being asked to leave the room

    There really is no such thing as a "textbook" situation....
  6. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

    Long time no see! I haven't visited here in ages (lots of things going on personally), but when I saw this the other day, I knew I had to share....you folks here will understand it in a way no one else in my life will! It was Thursday afternoon, I w...
  7. Checking visitor's vitals

    The one question that comes to mind for me in the O2 scenario (hooking someone up to O2 who forgot their tank at home) is, what happens when that family leaves the building? If you took it upon yourself to give them O2 while they were in the hospita...
  8. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

    Pulling out tubes, falling, etc etc....sure. But to jump from smoking to "using their IV to do drugs" is ridiculous. Sorry.
  9. Checking visitor's vitals

    How could he sue the nurse for refusing to check? It is not the nurse's responsibility to provide ANY type of care to a visitor/the general public. The person could have gone to the ER on their own, therefore establishing a relationship with a prov...
  10. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

    Holy cow. How do you make the connection between someone wanting to go out to smoke to THIS??
  11. Brushing my teeth at work giving me mouth sores

    I understand confusing the two, but I do still wonder which ones you are getting. As previous posters have said, canker sores are not contagious, so it they are cankers, they're not from the sink. Cold sores are caused by herpes simplex, which IS c...
  12. Brushing my teeth at work giving me mouth sores

    I am a little confused by this. How would that many nasty germs, etc, end up on the spout? It doesn't get touched. Not saying that germs/water can't splash, but I have a hard time believing it's that much and that frequent that they're always pres...
  13. Why cant I get an interview or at least a job?

    I agree with this, wouldn't you know if there was something that was a red flag on your background checks? There is no way for us here to know why you aren't getting more interviews or a job. Sorry.
  14. was i unprofessional? (quick story)

    Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say that the OP expected/hoped for answers from people that weren't nurses. ALL I said was that the OP was not a question about nurse/patient ratios. Nothing more, nothing less. *whatever *
  15. PICC line removal, a sterile procedure?

    Now me, I WOULD have said that.
