1. Feeling like you're complicit in the addiction problem...

   lorirn58 replied to ScientistSalarian's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for defending yourself! I read in between the lines, understood, respected, and knew what your meaning was. It is ironic that the ones telling you about judging are judging you. But then, that is our world these days: not reading for compre...

2. Are we better than the hosts of The View?

   lorirn58 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in General Nursing

   EXACTLY my thoughts! I absolutely abhor that word and it is totally unnecessary and foul language to use. I especially like how you pointed out the fact that that poster was "demeaning those who spoke up". Double inappropriate post, I must say. Noct...

3. Would you ever ask another nurse to give your pt a suppository?

   lorirn58 replied to iluvgusgus's topic in Relations

   Why are you doing wet-to-dry dressings in your facility? Those are mostly inappropriate...

4. Would you ever ask another nurse to give your pt a suppository?

   lorirn58 replied to iluvgusgus's topic in Relations

   I am a Certified Wound Ostomy Nurse and do all kinds of "favors" for my fellow colleagues all the time. There is nothing wrong with this and, hey, what else do you go to work for?

5. Seasoned Nurses Looking To Tattle?

   lorirn58 replied to PCnurse88's topic in Professionalism

   Not a "bias against" someone, but a head's up....there IS a difference, you know...

6. Frustrated with angry, demeaning doctors

   lorirn58 replied to NurseyNursington's topic in New Nurse

   1. They have a "hard job" because they chose it. This is called personal responsibility. YOU have a "hard" job just like they do. 2. You do not need a "thicker skin" (what the hell is that anyway?!); they need education in how to be decent people and...

7. Saw an angry clinical instructor...

   lorirn58 replied to Bortaz's topic in Relations

   This person is an emotional and verbal abuser/bully. She does not belong in the nursing profession. She needs to be reported to hospital administration. You can also take video of the childish and unprofessional antics and show it to someone. This is...

8. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

   lorirn58 replied to delphine22's topic in Relations

   Apples and oranges. Your comment was not logical :/

9. Medical Assistants being called nurses

   lorirn58 replied to Ethicsrn4life's topic in Relations

   One day you will post something ignorant, ill-conceived, poorly thought through, inflammatory or otherwise reflecting poorly on yourself and you won't want your manager to immediately identify you. Leave some room for doubt! I am not quite sure how...

10. Your best(or worst) exposure story

    lorirn58 replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Why were you trying to empty a stool collection bag? Was this from a fecal tube where there is a balloon such as a Dignicare or Flexiseal? NEVER EVER empty those (if you can, because you really can't anyway).

11. Scrub the Hub

    lorirn58 replied to ManNurseBear's topic in General Nursing

    Right?! Also, the "dude chill" thing is a big ridiculous. Just be nice and stop admonishing, reminding, and using weird little phrases! We are adults here, not children.

12. Other Jobs That a Nurse Can Do?

    lorirn58 replied to westieluv's topic in Career Support

    You can sign up with Summit, Healthy Achievers, Total Wellness, etc, to be a wellness examiner for these companies. It is fun, light, and you get to travel around and meet relatively healthy working people who are cheerful and glad to see you! It is ...

13. What kind of dressing for this patient...

    lorirn58 replied to selu1616's topic in Wound

    Sounds like this patient needs to see a surgeon or go to the nearest outpatient wound care clinic asap. It also sounds like he most likely has some necrotic tissue in those wounds.

14. Can a LPN delegate to RN?

    lorirn58 replied to roxs752's topic in Relations

    Wow. Could you please quote the words or phrase in which you detect "bitterness"? I'm at a loss to discern any such intent Great question, Roser13; I wondered myself how this mere question could be labeled as such...

15. Can a LPN delegate to RN?

    lorirn58 replied to roxs752's topic in Relations

    How are you reading (labeling) that she is "bitter"? She is merely asking a question....
