   Mystery5 replied to jkaee's topic in General Nursing

   BTW, here is a link to a BBC article that reports that the latest findings indicate that women with a little extra weight on their hips live longer! http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4606011.stm "Curvy women are more likely to live longer than their ...

   Mystery5 replied to jkaee's topic in General Nursing

   HI, LOL, I love your writing style! :chuckle Sounds like your NP is lacking in tactful people skills. I really dislike getting lectured at the doctor or dentist, and don't go to people who are disrespectful of my personal healthcare preferences, wh...

5. Bad Nurse...Need Advice

   Mystery5 replied to luvbug9956's topic in General Nursing

   I can't believe this! I've never heard of a nurse this bad! As stated previously, you have a responsibility to provide your manager with written accounts of this! This is imperative. They need to have written documentation for their files in order to...

6. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

   Mystery5 replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

   I agree. I once had a concern about a co-worker, and that maybe she was using a stimulant at work. Her behaviour was becoming highly erratic, and one shift I worked with her, she was totally emotionally labile. I'll call her 'Julia', not her real nam...

9. Tylenol toxicity? How serious?? Please read!

   Mystery5 replied to breastfeedingRN's topic in Emergency

   Dear Breastfeeding, Her husband's reaction is probably based in some reality. It must be very difficult to have a mentally ill partner. And suicide is often perceived by others to be a selfish act that deeply hurts family members. So, I would try and...

10. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    Mystery5 replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    As far as losing a friend, I don't know how old you are, but I suspect you are still in your 20s. My prediction is that you'll grow out of this friendship eventually anyways. Don't compromise your integrity because of your friends. A true friend will...

11. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    Mystery5 replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    If she smokes pot, then that shows up for longer in one's system as far as drug testing. I think cocaine is only 24-48 hrs or so. This woman works in the ICU? Unbelievable. What about dropping an anonymous note in her manager's box suggesting a rand...

12. Nurse doing cocaine HELP

    Mystery5 replied to llgrn1987's topic in General Nursing

    That was very bold of her to break out a bag of coke in front of you. Sounds like she's getting careless. I think the proper thing to do is first approach her and insist that she seek treatment. This is a serious problem. If she doesn't do so, then ...

13. MedError/Dismissal...What2Do

    Mystery5 replied to brotherbear's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering about this myself. When I was in school, as I recall, we always had a co-signer. It's all rather a fog, but I don't remember having been given very much automony during school. But maybe other programs do things differently?

14. Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    Mystery5 replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of religion and psyche problems, I just read this BBC online article about an attempted exorcism of an Eastern Orthodox nun in Romania. She was actually schizophrenic, the article states, but the priest thought it was due to demon possesion....

15. Can't stop the nightmares- please help

    Mystery5 replied to caren19's topic in Stress 101

    Yes, I've had stress inducing events that have haunted me. I think it's good to talk, talk, talk. Every once in a while, I'll just get overwhelmed with something and have a little mini-nervous breakdown, and need help, by seeking emotional support fr...
