  1. 'rotting' not for weak stomachs...

    Simba&NalasMom replied to bebop1's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    Yes, definitely what the other two posters said. The thing that you can do immediately is talk to the doc about stronger pain meds; there is no way on earth that Vicodin (I think that's what you said...

  2. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    LMAO no, I really did go to bed believe it or not! Now I have to catch up on this crazy

  3. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

  4. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Might I suggest (don't flame me, Tweetie :rotfl: ) that you suggest to her a female GYN? Holy crap is right, I'm picturing those old Massengil commercials..."Mom, do you ever get that not so fresh...

  5. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    OMG :rotfl: Hey, I'm so happy that things ended on a positive note. Bless both your hearts.

  6. Is this legal?

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in one facility where the nurses and CNAs used walkie-talkies when they needed to find one another. Worked really well, and nobody felt like they were under a

  7. to sedate or not to sedate...

    Simba&NalasMom replied to dfk's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sounds like that's what has to happen...they'll only listen to the patients. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could encourage our patients to complain without fear of retribution?

  8. Is this legal?

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear, the thought of that really made me giggle! It's absolutely unthinkable that docs would put with that for a second.

  9. baby hiccups

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Alibaba's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a mom myself but am a chronic hic-upper; ugh. I've found that what mostly triggers them in me is swallowing too much too fast (one theory is that hic-ups are caused by overstimulation of the...

  10. DH dying-need prayers

    Simba&NalasMom replied to nursejoey05's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    God be with you, Dan, and DD, Joey.

  11. Is this legal?

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Dunno if it's legal or not, but sounds kinda creepy in a very Orwellian way; I suppose if the President can get away with it, so can hospitals. On a more serious note, I have a problem being...

  12. I don't think I understand pain management.

    Simba&NalasMom replied to lisamc1RN's topic in General Nursing

    I know this digresses from the original post, but I live in OR and was wondering where we go for the pain mgt class...of course I will check with the BON but I'm feeling lazy at the moment. To the OP,...

  13. question about reporting something!

    Simba&NalasMom replied to stephera's topic in General Nursing

    You might try posting this in the legal forum. As far as I know, juvenile offenses are not carried over into your adult records, so nobody should have access to that information. Of course, there are...

  14. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, figured she'd post if/when she was ready.

  15. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I'm afraid of...not like Bip to go this long w/o posting.

  16. Hey Bipley.....

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, that's all it was...'nuff said.

  17. Hey Bipley.....

    Feel bad about any contribution I made to the OP being

  22. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    Simba&NalasMom replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good grief...it continues to just STUN me that CA of all states is so backwards when it comes to nurse licensure exams!!!! I never really thought about it before, but since I was able to take the...

  23. Smelly Co-Worker

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    And I think that's what is going to make the difference for her; make sure she gets that you care, and hopefully after that has been established you two can do the nursie thing and put your heads...

  24. Smelly Co-Worker

    Simba&NalasMom replied to Bipley's topic in General Nursing

    Is the word you're looking for Acidophilus? I know it's found in yogurt and have also given it PO to some of my gero residents. Still in your corner and cheering you on...go

  25. Money Hungry Patients

    Simba&NalasMom replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with Bipley...document, document, document. As far as telling management of his intentions to sue, my gut instinct would be to stay out of that part of it. Hospital walls have ears, and especially...
