   Stop the drama

   Poi Dog replied to GitanoRN's topic in Relations

   I have perfected an "Are you kidding me/an idiot?" look whenever someone tries to pull me into the soap opera loving life. They see that I have zero interest in their theatrics and move on to someone who does get off on it.

   Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

   Poi Dog replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Relations

   Thanks for noticing that I use gloves. I realize that your last caretaker did not use them and therefore you are insulted that I use them while providing care on you. So put a lid on it because I am going to continue using gloves.

   The War On Fat

   Poi Dog replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

   As someone who has been on the higher and now lower end of the scale, I empathize with those who battle their weight. What happened to having empathy for those who are considered overweight? Yea, I know being empathetic is not going to help a person ...

    Do your staff desert the floor during a potluck?

    Poi Dog replied to pattyslattery's topic in General Nursing

    Nah, at 1700 when management leaves and the evening shift (potluck bunch) has the floor, we bring the goodies to the nurses's station. Luckily our main entrance is locked at 1630 and people have to ring a bell to be let in. That leaves us enough time...

    Funniest thing you've ever seen happen to a doctor

    Poi Dog replied to Guttercat's topic in Humor

    Ex, who is a doctor, told me that for his going away party, his staff put KY jelly/gel? on his phone. Fortunately he has a good sense of humor and was laughing while wiping the gooey, sticky mess from his ear.

    what about staff abuse, not patient abuse?

    Poi Dog replied to CNA/glorified maid's topic in CNA/MA

    After the first call from that client to the police, I would have NOT gone back. What happens if one day, charges are pressed against you? No client is worth the hassle. Not to mention the physical abuse. You should call the cops on her.
