1. Medical question on ingrown toenail

   JessicaInOr replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   As horrible as this sounds you still shouldn't have LOANED him the money or taken care of him. As long as he has you to take care of him especially in a pinch, he has no reason to do anything about his problem. You can't change his perspective of li...

2. Medical question on ingrown toenail

   JessicaInOr replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

   Awwwww. ((((BIG HUGS)))) Poor sweetie! You know what? There just isn't anything you can do for him. It's such a horrible thing to sit back and watch but the reality is that you just can't do anything about this. This one belongs to him and only ...

3. How to help pt's and family members cope

   JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

   I realized that the advice I have given others was very appropriate in my own case, it was the only thing to do for him at that point in time. I am *so* sorry to hear this. I guess we both know how the other feels. BTW... I decided to start a new ...

4. How to help pt's and family members cope

   JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

   Leslie... The issue that really hit me was his gift to me. This is hard to explain but when I first went to do personal care he was absolutely horrified. He even said there was nothing he could think of that was more humiliating than Michelle, his ...

5. Colleague bitten by pt--what should be done for the bitee?

   JessicaInOr replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

   How can you force anyone to cooperate? How could you force them anymore than you can force treatment when the patient refuses? Force how? Via the courts? Or sitting on the patient until they give up a blood sample? At what point is it assault?

6. How to help pt's and family members cope

   JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

   My Dad died 16 days after I wrote the post you replied to. So much for four months. The only peace I have from the entire ordeal was that when I flew home my Dad had a look of relief when I got there. His wife, my sister's evil stepmother really...

7. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

   JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

   A gal I work with now used to work on behalf of these ladies and children too but too many of the men wouldn't allow their wives to go there for medical care. She's a woman and they wanted someone smart so they found a male medical provider.

8. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

   JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

   But we aren't living in a society of 'everything goes' ... not by a long shot. We have laws in place specifically so that everything does not go. We have policemen arresting people every single day for prostitution, selling drugs to children, those...

   What makes you feel this way? Do you guys work w/Pyxis?

10. If your license is disciplined

    JessicaInOr replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    So the BON had a complaint from someone about you, they acted on that complaint and they didn't notify you? They just signed your name to those forms? Do you know what the complaint was about? It should be quite easy to obtain any documents they ha...

11. Eh. Ever been reported to the DON?

    JessicaInOr replied to Cute_CNA's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure but I believe I read someone else here that used the term. It was an LPN that was accused of charging for time when he wasn't working. Edit to add: Maybe it's a flower-y, PC type way to say time clock? :wink2:

12. teaching Humira administration

    JessicaInOr replied to darla80's topic in General Nursing

    Since Humira is typically given q o week and she isn't going to be in a cast forever couldn't she just go to her PCP for the injection? If she still has the ability to use the fingers on her broken side, I would do a reteach and instead of grabbing a...

13. Eh. Ever been reported to the DON?

    JessicaInOr replied to Cute_CNA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand your thread. Are you saying someone reported you? Are you saying they have reported you previously? As for the 'hint hint' ... I don't have the slightest idea what you are writing about. A hint to which person? Maybe I'm ...

14. How often do female pts request male nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Men

    While I understand what you write, if I dare to agree I'll be made out to be mentally ill yet again. But I will say that sometimes people perceive things differently. While one person perceives something one way, I'll see it a different way. Thank y...
