Sadly, I work with a liar. Everyone knows this coworker is a liar. At least that is what I am told. I have taken the matter to our DON in the past, after watching him/her tell a patient's family member that she did a procedure that, in fact, I had do...
Macawake, I appreciate your post, but only because you clearly voiced your opinion (a freedom) out of concern for others' well-being (compassion--a good thing). I will use a quote I heard one doctor say about current treatment of cancer: "You can't f...
It makes me cringe to read , "What have you seen that makes you want to commit assault? " The very question seems to hold within it the essence of violence. I would suggest using a different means of conveying the same question, such as, "What have...

Maybe you should consider a different vocation. People have poop. They give stool specimens, at the very least, when at a doctor's office. And who is it that takes that poo and puts it on a stick, or digs it out with a stick, and puts drops on it, or...

I have found that if I take myself out of my *self*, and think about the patient, then my little misery is nothing. I may not like the odor, but perhaps this patient has been defecating profusely due to a condition that has him in dire need of assist...

AUGH! Sleepy me! Agnus, I apologize for my FYI, which was clearly an inappropriate response. I appreciate what you had to share. Please disregard my previous post. (I'm heading to the bed right now!)

CharlieRN, I suggest you read a book entitled, Vibrational Medicine by Dr. Richard Gerber, MD. In that book you will get exposed to more clinical case studies, and, hopefully, a new awareness of what's really going on in this material world. I am cu...
My heart goes out to you and your family. But, FYI, I am taking care of a Nam vet who has been treated pitifully by the VA. His words were: "They throw dirt in my face." Of course, that is from a man who was diagnosed with prostate cancer one year, a...
I have been running a thread in the General Nursing Forum regarding how meds are wasted. It has been a concern for the nurses I work with and for others across the nation, as so much goes down the toilet or sink. Some say it goes into the trash, othe...
mpccrn has the right idea, in my mind. After years of psych experience, I have learned that sending the angry energy back to the "problem" only keeps the anger 'fed', and the problem escalates. True control comes from being in control. Another ke...

neneRN, I had the same idea, to do this as a poll---so I am! Please, anyone reading this thread, hop over to "Nursing Polls" and contribute!!! I believe the environmental concerns are huge, and we are strong. This issue is not going to go away. It ...

I continue to thank everyone for their reponses and request all viewers to share and/or comment. This is a HUGE ISSUE, and one that can be directly influenced by nurses' actions!!!!! The issue is not going to go away. Rather, it must be dealt with. M...

I want to thank all of you for contributing your thoughts and experiences. As I told Turtle in Scrubs, we aren't conducting a study, although it sounds like it would be a good idea. I AM unofficially collecting data to support my passion for the envi...
