  1. Is it even worth it?

    CoffeeYogaNurse posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    I was fired recently for diversion of opiates from my job ICU in GA. HR called me into the office and started explaining things, and I just cut them off and said I was diverting. I now wish I hadn't...

  2. Is it even worth it?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    JB C, did you not see above where I said I was doing rehab? You don't know me at all and your eagerness to judge a literal stranger over and over and over as if you know me is odd. You're responding...

  3. Is it even worth it?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So sorry to hear you feel that way right now. My kids are little and I just want to be happy and healthy for them, and also be able to be mentally present and not always stressed about the BON Big...

  4. Is it even worth it?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    JB C, thank you for your multiple responses, to my question and other people's. I do think you may have misunderstood. I never in my post said I wasn't going to go to rehab. I'm currently in rehab. As...

  5. Lost new grad pediatric nurse

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to ehauser's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any way you could get a position on a certain unit and not float any more? I suspect part of your anxiety may be that it's hard to feel like you have backup, that you're part of a team, when...

  6. Verbally abusive patient, worried I could have handled the situation better

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to NurseMom2016's topic in General Nursing

    Do NOT feel about about this yahoo leaving. You didn't make him go. He's a grown man and if he wants to refuse treatment he can. You can't fix stupid and you can't teach him manners. "Here's your AMA...

  7. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

    CoffeeYogaNurse posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Heyo! I would love some advice from y'all on how to dodge answering all these personal questions my patients ask me! I work in a busy ED and see multiple people a day. It seems like so many patients...

  8. How soon is too soon?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to nursey777's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Hey there, I voted that you should stay 1-2 more months (at least) and here's a way you can do it. Stay where you are and keep trudging along, meanwhile your hubs can be looking for a job in a...

  9. 2 DUIs

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to all4u313's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    Sorry to hear about your DUI's, I'm sure you're anxious about committing to a nursing program and paying money and not being able to get your license because of those mistakes. The only advice I can...

  10. $30/hour for new grads in Seattle?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to rowyie's topic in General Nursing

    Hey thank you for the reply, the DON does say I don't have to worry about those vents/trachs because we usually have respiratory on the floor providing breathing treatment and mess with the machine. I...

  11. Health Care is Not a Right

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Thanks for the thoughtful response, I do love a good debate. After reading more into this thread and seeing your explanations for things I think you might be more well versed than your original post...

  12. Furthering my education (HELP)

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to rnamara's topic in General Nursing

    Hi there! Congratulations on graduating and passing boards! I bet you're happy that's behind you. I've been a nurse for 3+ years working neuro step-down, medsurg, and now ER. I don't have my MSN so I...

  13. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! Want a cookie? I'm not sure I could reach you on that high high horse though. OP knows what she can handle and doesn't need you to say what her limits are, or decide she's "selfish" and...

  14. Health Care is Not a Right

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to Tetra's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    K. I honestly was expecting something presented a little better from a student of philosophy. I studied it as well and dude, these are not logical arguments. Please establish your definition of a...

  15. How to respond to "am I dying?"

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in General Nursing

    Your questions have a few answers depending on the situation. It sounds like the simulations you're describing are sort of "pre-code" or "not actively arresting yet but probably about to" sims where...

  16. $30/hour for new grads in Seattle?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to rowyie's topic in General Nursing

    18:1 seems like a high ratio to me, a lot will depend on how good your techs are. Also, is there a possibility of the ratio going higher? You said 36-39 pts. If you and the other nurse are maxed at 18...

  17. That's not a bad nurse

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to stephen1219's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent

  18. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    Preach!

  19. Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CNAbutLPN2be2017's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if everyone saying you "have to stay or you'll lose your liscence", or those advocating to stay because you said you would, are aware that some parts of the Keys are potentially going to...

  20. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ohhh this site is great Lane Therrell! Thank

  21. is this really bad nursing judgment?

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to mlss94's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can only have "bad nursing judgement" about things that are up to the NURSE to judge. You called 2 MDs and spoke with your nursing supervisor (hopefully you thoroughly documented all this). Once...

  22. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ohhhh yes! That one is great cause my mama actually DID teach me it wasn't polite to discuss money, politics, or religion with someone I didn't know well. Plus you can't argue with someone to tell...

  23. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Funny you should mention that Dianah, I actually tried that when I first started and you are on the money about what people said in response! Almost quoting your guesses of what they say exactly! I...

  24. Graceful way to NOT answer all the personal questions my patients ask me.

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to CoffeeYogaNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're exactly right Davey Do, I know what I want to say I just need to say it nicely! Your suggestion is great. Compliment their caring questions and turn the focus back, thank

  25. Having issues with being a "babyfaced" nurse.

    CoffeeYogaNurse replied to Ash2016's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes people comment that I look young too. I'll say "yeah I've heard that before, and I'll take it!". Then after I place their line without a hitch I'll tell them "Good, I'm glad I didn't miss!...
