BYOB at work?

Alcohol is a drug. Your comments are inappropriate. It has nothing to do with being a "Nazi, " Kayaus.

You are reading that quote completely wrong. I was quoting somone else on here that said "Nazi" I agree with you , I think the comment was completely inappropriate.

So....page 4 and, apparently because some kind of chord was struck, you are now going to throw in that the nurse's behavior was indeed knowingly abusive?

How about knowing that this nurse gave this resident this beer so the nurse wouldn't have to deal with the resident's behaviors for the next 8 hours?

You could've said that on page one, but I get it. Then you wouldn't have had all this fun pretending that you're so much more intelligent and ethical than everyone else.

Found that out the next day.

Oh! I did take the time to review my original post here and I couldn't find anywhere that I wrote I was more intelligent or ethical than everyone else. I've made LOTS of mistakes. I've never made stupid ones like this.

You seem very sensitive to this topic. Is there a reason? Have you been bringing in some Boone's Farm from home to supplement the Lax list?

Sometimes I pretend I'm a magical unicorn that flies through the clouds all day and slides down rainbows that lead to a perfect world in nursing. A place where we are all loved and supported and make as much money as professional basketball players. A place where I get to actually take a lunch break and no one puts on their call light for 13 hours.

Sometimes I pretend that my varicose veins won't make my legs hurt all shift long and I pretend that that my diabetes was cured and eating 3 pieces of chocolate cake is good for me like eating cod liver oil.

Sometimes I pretend I actually have a life and don't spend it on the internet on forums arguing with people that I don't even know about bul$#!t that doesn't even matter and then I go on to pretend that that you and I are friends and we just laugh about all of this and move on.

Could happen.

So, the OP is older than dirt, since the horse and buggy, and she washed up on the shores of a nursing home where a bighearted nurse likes to cheer up a resident with a beer. It's a homey place that has a tradition of allowing this deviation from the American practice of giving the doctors a puritanical stranglehold on this poor soul's life.

First of all, I see no reason why a resident can't decide to have a beer. It's ridiculous to take away that right, even if his memory is slipping. He's probably on more prescribed drugs than necessary thanks to our pharmaceutical industry anyways. But he needs an doctor's order to have a beer? Absurd.

But, the nurse should get that order because there is a busybody in every bunch who loves to get people in trouble...

Exactly. Wow I wish I worked with you.

Umm, the point was, you started the hyperbole (i.e., next it's going to be cocaine). Look up 'Godwin's Law.'

Well years ago they used to bring cigarettes to give out,...

Some MD's have allowed a can of beer for post partum b patients that could not pee.It worked well.

I think you are in the wrong profession, as a green nurse believing everything I was taught to do in Nursing "school",I reported something,and it ended up getting mishandled, police involved ,threats to my wellbeing to put it mildly.All for nothing because in the end nothing was accomplished.

Oh my,the next time I see your thong showing thru your uniform I will report you because it is not a part of proper nursing attire,and your watch is the wrong color...shall I go on ?
