   annie.rn replied to annie.rn's topic in Gastroenterology

   Sorry for the delayed reply. My phone broke so I haven't been on here in a while. I am just today seeing this. I really appreciate you asking the GI doc you work with. I couldn't figure it out either. Glad to know I'm not the only one :-) Thanks so ...

2. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

   annie.rn replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

   I respectfully disagree with this. I worked home hospice and my immediate supervisor had very little clinical experience. (She had only worked at managing her husband's medical practice) It made it very difficult for the nurses under her because wh...

4. 16 Ice creams

   annie.rn replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

   Your post is so familiar. We have a few frequent fliers like that on my med/surg unit and they are oh so frustrating. I am amazed at how well you handled the situation while also having your own load of patients to care for. As someone else said, ...

5. Nursing Communication Project

   annie.rn replied to kazooe9's topic in General Nursing

   ThIs line is part of our hospital's scripting, too. I have trouble getting myself to say it much because most often I'm not sure if I WILL have the time (or I flat out don't) and I don't want to set myself up to disappoint the patient. I like to giv...

9. so many falls!

   annie.rn replied to qcnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

   My comment wasn't directed toward you at all. I hope you didn't think it was. It's obvious you care or you wouldn't have been asking for help :-)

10. so many falls!

    annie.rn replied to qcnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Dementia is not funny. Of course, I don't know you, so I apologize in advance for my perceptions. The way you refer to the residents you work with is hateful. I understand that working LTC is super stressful but you still have to show compassion....

15. Pt.s Ordering Food from Outside Hospital?

    annie.rn replied to annie.rn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies so far. I agree about not being able to change habits during a few days of hospitalization and I usually don't sweat the diet stuff too much but these two cases annoyed me b/c they were directly making themselves ill by wh...
