1. An Idea Whose Time has Long Come: EMPLOYEE satisfaction scoring?

   AgentOrange replied to SmilingBluEyes's topic in Relations

   I have not seen anything good come from employee surveys. Issues I've seen, the surveys are not anonymous, in spite of their claims to be. I have seen immediate supervisors punished or in trouble because of negative surveys, even though the problems ...

2. Stool sample for Micro class?????

   AgentOrange replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

   This is ridiculous. I've never heard of this being done in a microbiology class. I think it is an invasion of privacy and totally unnecessary. Testing one's own poo is not going to make one a better nurse (or a better microbiologist, for that matter....

3. I need your advice please - Please read

   AgentOrange replied to tiffany311's topic in General Students

   Tiffany, There has been some good advice given here. Your teacher didn't write that e-mail for no reason---obviously you were acting inappropriately last year, which has led to frustration on your teacher's part. The best advice given here is to quit...

4. Will you work during a Pandemic?

   AgentOrange replied to Goju's topic in COVID

   I would be ROTFL if not for the seriousness of this issue. The flu vaccine barely protects people against the regular flu, there is no reason (or evidence that I've seen) to think it will offer any kind of protection against a deathly flu. The reason...

5. mother dies after refusing blood transfusion

   AgentOrange replied to FireStarterRN's topic in UK

   I'm not sure how you got the impression that after my "first" experience with Jevovah Witnesses, I had no other experiences. Perhaps I wasn't clear--I have had several other experiences with Jehovah Witneses, and none of them were familiar with argum...

   AgentOrange replied to FireStarterRN's topic in UK

   > As I mentioned, it's well known that to fully understand and convince others of ones position, one must study the opposing position. This is commonly taught in debate classes and teams. In fact, it's common practice to practice debating the oppo...

7. mother dies after refusing blood transfusion

   AgentOrange replied to FireStarterRN's topic in UK

   Are you encouraged to educate yourself from all sources (even anti-Jehovah Witness sources), or solely from Watchtower approved sources? To truely be educated, one must study the arguments of detractors as well as the arguments of supporters. It's a ...

8. Have I displayed drug seeking behavior??

   AgentOrange replied to elthia's topic in General Nursing

   this form asks the md/np to explain why the pt is in need of this particular med. she filled it out, got it approved, and my insurance paid everything except my nominal copayment.>> I agree, the OP should have her physician try a prior auth for...

9. Who can witness a waste?

   AgentOrange replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

   In my state, anyone can witness. Ideally it is another RN, but some wards only have 1 RN on at a time. It would be detrimental to pt care to wait until another RN or licensed person could come from another ward. It would be a security risk for the RN...

10. Jehovah Witness RNs

    AgentOrange replied to aimeeinorbit's topic in General Nursing

    Ain't that the truth. I'm reminded that Michael Jackson is/was a Jehovah's Witness (I believe they have officially disfellowshipped him, but I'm not sure.)

11. How will our new grad Male RN work in L &D?

    AgentOrange replied to ragingmomster's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My female doctor always calls in another female nurse to witness when she does a pelvic on me. Abuse happenings & accusations aren't limited to one gender.

12. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    AgentOrange replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The patient didn't just lie there. The OP later clarified that 3 nurses held the patient down.
