   ArrrrEnnn replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a fairly new nurse, graduated a little over a year ago. A lot of you really sound bitter and discouraging. I work in a LTC. I never wanted to. I hated the thought. RNs in my mind didn't belong there. I was wrong. Nursing is changing. There are p...

2. Biox vs. Pulse ox vs. whatever else?!

   I don't think I've ever heard the term crispy critter towards a patient. Wow.

4. Walkie Talkie

   ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Relations

   We heard all kinds of ambulation terms in school. Walkie Talkie, wanderer, etc. I don't think Walkie talkie is anymore offensive than wanderer and they even have a product called a wander guard in the LTC I'm at. That we put on patients and tell them...

6. Walkie Talkie

   ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Relations

   I wasn't asking anything. I was stating that if you have an opinion, it would be nice to explain why you take offense and when you don't explain it fully, I will ask a question. Hence the questions I had for you that you seem to think means I felt I ...

   I think that's a perfect description of it.

   ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Relations

   I wasn't stating I'm perfect and the fact that I'm new and came in to this thread wanting opinions, should be a clear sign that I'm seeking opinions. With your opinion I would prefer explanation. No need to confuse that with defense :)

   Seems like there are a whole bunch of us on here who make poor choices on here.

11. Walkie Talkie

    So why would it be offensive to you?

12. Walkie Talkie

    ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Relations

    I apologized when she said she took offense and she never explained after that. The name of my original post is "Had a patient fall."

    ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Relations

    We do several things we don't always do in front of patients. Would you constantly remind a patient they have sexual behaviors or dementia?

14. Walkie Talkie

    ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Relations

    Thank you guys. I felt really bad when I used it and the person took offense. I thought I had been saying something awful and not realizing it.

15. Had a patient fall

    ArrrrEnnn replied to ArrrrEnnn's topic in Geriatric
