  1. Cna Mad About Write Up Now Making Allegations!

  2. An OB's Birth Plan

    Should a C Section baby have the eye Rx? Should an NSVD baby whose mom is free of infection have it? What did we do before Vit K? I've never worked OB but I think there's a little too much "medicine" involved - when the L&D is healthy and uneven...
  3. IM/Rhogam Injection Gone Wrong?

    I'm not sure you should put such specific information on here. But it sounds like the shot was ok. Next time, you have to aspirate. On IM's, you have to make sure you're not in a blood vessel. Your teacher is wrong. Just do it, don't say anything...
  4. experience nurses please help me!!

    I don't put much stock in these tests. You must get to know yourself and decide what type of work to undertake. Nursing requires intelligence, physical strength, dexterity with your hands, and a genuine love of people. You must be strongheaded and...
  5. Is it possible to document too much?

    The wet pants client above could be said like this - 1115 Client incontinent, slacks wet; she refuses changing now and is combative when writer attempted to remove wet pants; will try again shortly; You've stated the problem, the attempt to corre...
  6. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    So are you working for free? Who reprimanded you? You need to be courageous, MW. I know it's hard, but no one can do this for you.
  7. Grr! "Customer Service" Nursing Gone Crazy!

    You need to tell people that you will get to their requests when you are able but that you have a patient who is deteriorating and must take care of him or her first. Be apologetic but firm. Say it then leave and go take care of the drain circler. ...
  8. Are nurses behind in their knowledge?

    Certainly some patients can take on the responsibility you suggest. But many cannot. They wouldn't know where to begin. Some people are too sick or might be too disabled or might be illiterate with regard to medical issues, lots of reasons why we...
  9. so eager to report coworkers!

    I guess lack of ecchymosis might be proof of no shots. Do anticoag shots always have to bruise? Maybe some nurses have found a way to give these shots without bruising the patient. Don't know, just wondering. Does anyone know? Why did both nurs...
  10. Why would I NOT help? I'm confused.

    You weren't out of line but I think it must be unusual for an NP to do bedside care. When doctors occasionally lend a hand with bedside care, it is appreciated yet somehow embarrassing.
  11. Macho Men in the ED

    Phobe comes from phobic, doesn't it? And that means "fear". Fear of homosexuality and homosexuals. I agree that one is not necessarily afraid of these simply if one is heterosexual or is not in favor of same sex marriage or issues like that, which a...
  12. A Sister Never Forgets

    If the parole is still pending, please attend it. And take the prosecutor with you. The sister of Sharon Tate has managed to help keep the Manson clan locked up all these many years and I think it's due, at least in part, to her always going to the...
  13. What Freaks You Out?

    What freaked me out was when doctor was asked to give some cough med to a patient who was coughing his brains out all night and no one had bothered to get him an order. Doctor's reply was "He's a whiner. Let him cough." I thought Huh? You don't ...
  14. State showed up today.

    no fair calling in extra aides.
  15. Was fired today......

    If a resident wanted his liqs mixed in juice, did you refuse to do so? Glad you got another position but what will you do if a resident there wants his liqs mixed and you disagree with doing that? As for cough syrup being ineffective if mixed with/f...
