3. Patient going to send nurse to Concentration Camps??

   RhythmicRN replied to Kayauhs's topic in General Nursing

   Never give a patient personal information about yourself. It will eventually come back to bite you, even after years. Let the personal opinions and/or insults go. This is a move to fulfill an unsatisfied ego or personality disorder and an attempt to ...

   You do not have to tolerate this treatment. I would make a point to talk to someone in HR immediately. I once worked with an RN from northern Europe with an accent that took some time to understand. She spoke in a very direct manner in which was her ...

   One of my favorites in the psych clinic: "Masticate Nitrogenous waste and go Asystole!" In the ED: "Clearly this patient suffers from Hypodilaudism!" Another from LTC: "No, I wont let you die today, there is way too much paperwork involved!"

   I once helped a school nurse do a morning assessment on an eight year old with stomach pain. We eventually learned the pain was caused from hunger. Yes, the parents were notified. I agree that you are not raising other's children, but you are making ...

10. I Did a Stupid STUPID Thing.

    RhythmicRN replied to Avill's topic in School

    Please don't beat yourself up over this. Use this as a teaching experience. I have dealt with many cutters in the past. This doesn't mean the patient is necessarily suicidal. Cutting is usually a release for anxiety or a cry for attention. Most cutte...

11. Accepting verbal orders from another nurse?

    RhythmicRN replied to amberrenae, RN's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. I absolutely would not take a verbal order from another nurse. I was once asked to give an IM psychotropic med that another nurse drew up in a syringe. I did not give it because I did not draw it up. You should contact your m...

    RhythmicRN replied to Hnurse101's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very clear example of an administration that has more dollars than sense. Unsafe client care, pharmaceutical errors, unethical practices, unsupportive administration, etc. I think the previous posts give a clear messages as to what you shou...

    RhythmicRN replied to vmcneil2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. My heart goes out to you. This sounds incredibly close to a job I once was working. The DON had it out for me and watched me like a helicopter mom. I later learned from the medical director that the DON "Is not your friend." I loved this job but...
