   I work in community health (with homeless mostly) I work at a community centre for the homeless and the other day I was called to the front because someone was having a seizure. While dealing with said patient, a few men were standing a few feet fro...

2. Refuses bath all week, complains to family hasn't been given a bath in a week?

   nURse_dEZi replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in Geriatric

   And when it's like over a week or more and they are still refusing to bathe do you continue to document (especially if the family is aware of it and is getting ticked off?)

3. How do you pass time on your "weeknight?"

   nURse_dEZi posted a topic in General Nursing

   Or weekday depending on your shift. I'm curious what others around me (especially other nurses) are up to during their downtime. Can you guys share with me wha kinds of things you do?

4. Refuses bath all week, complains to family hasn't been given a bath in a week?

   nURse_dEZi posted a topic in Geriatric

   So I recently saw a meme with this title that got my attention. I reviewed the comments and it got me thinking... (because I don't work in long term care and have never felt with this). How is this handled? One person said the would suggest the fam...

5. Working Out and Working?

   nURse_dEZi replied to suzibk215's topic in Stress 101

   I work out like 6 days a week. I teach bootcamps on the side, heady weight training and do lots of cardio. I literally just did my first (sprint) triathlon today. If I didn't workout I'd be miserable. Right after work I go, sometimes I do some extra ...

6. Is it ever okay to follow up with a patient you've cared for outside of work?

   nURse_dEZi replied to Momma1RN's topic in General Nursing

   I had a preceptor that would get attached to some of his patients and tell them to call the unit or his number just let him know how their procedure went (patients that would go for a CABG at another hospital). I respected this and I believe it s som...

8. Work and pets?

   nURse_dEZi replied to nURse_dEZi's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah I mean it doesn't have to be GS but I do prefer big dogs. The only little dogs I really like are pugs. I want ant something I can go on regular walks and runs. I know nothing about training a dog but I'm willing to learn. I hope if and when I g...

9. The future for RNs?

   nURse_dEZi posted a topic in Activism

   So, I'm not sure what it's like everywhere else but in Canada, I have heard rumor (I have no idea the credibility on this) that as Lpns scope expands, they will move more toward being just like RNs and for RNs they will move to more specialized roles...

10. Electronic Stethoscope.. worth the $?

    nURse_dEZi replied to dev.miles's topic in Uniform/Gear

    WAIIIIIT! I was just asking a nurse on the unit that has one what he thinks. The nice thing amongst being able to record sounds is that you can hear very well, even through clothing (I sampled it myself) He said don't get it because if you drop it, ...

11. Recovering addict needing some advice or anyone that cares to listen please

    nURse_dEZi replied to RCLPN's topic in Recovery

    I'm really sorry this has happened.... I'be always wondered what would happen if I wore with a bunch of nuts that would make up crap like this. I don't know the laws where you live but this is complete and utter cap, I can't believe they jumped the ...

12. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    nURse_dEZi replied to Ally Smith's topic in CA Programs

    It would seem illegal to me because you could argue an allergy is a disability and they are refusing you because of that. I think it should be up to the person to prove it but it seems u reasonable to refuse due to the allergy... Or if it's possible ...

13. Work and pets?

    nURse_dEZi posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello Angels! so I'm thinking of getting a dog (preferably something the size of a German Shepard.... Maybe something smaller if nessisary). The thing is I've never had dog before and I was wondering how you guys manage with full time jobs (I'll swi...
