  1. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    So, you will essentially use the word "may" to just negate the reasonable person standard, as long as it suits your need to feel heroic? Even while saying that most people resuscitated do not...

  2. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Frankly, we are all already aware that a persons own doctor signs their DNR form, and also, that the only real qualifier for any patient to make their own choice, is to be alert and oriented, so...

  3. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I really appreciate everything you just said. For many reasons, actually. First, I appreciate how much you are expressing your desire to respect someone else's DNR order. That alone, brings me a...

  4. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Additionally, in my state, anyways, there is a DNR form that can also be laminated and worn around the neck, and the reasonable person standard is to presume that as long as I am wearing it, YOU keep...

  5. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    If you did BLS on me after I have informed you and most other people of my DNR and posted that legal document near the time clock etc, you would be guilty of battery. And sued. Do you force feed...

  6. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Again. If a person is a DNR they will have documentation of this, and will make people aware. You have a responsibility to that person to check for the DNR form, especially if they already told you it...

  7. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Again, the bottom line is the reasonable person standard, and of course, adequate documentation to defend not providing BLS. The reasonable person with a DNR, can have their DNR posted above...

  8. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I have a looong post above. Just post your DNR form next to the time clock. Salaried employee? Tape your DNR form close to where you work, I.e. on the inside of your office door, on your cubicle...

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I think a tattoo is a fine starting point, for helping someone to locate your up to date signed DNR form, which is literally the only thing that will protect THEM from legal issues. Also the...

  10. Coworkers Respecting Each Others' Advance Directives and Code Statuses

    Surfin USA replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    My first husband died of a stroke while he was in nursing school. He was 30. I am now 43, and I am going to get a DNR signed. Heres the difference between your ideas on this and mine, e.g....

  11. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my trauma counselor was at my local Vet Center, and they deal exclusively with military veterans who had experienced service related traumas that qualify for VA Health Care. You *obviously* wouldnt...

  12. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    And because of this fact, which we are all now painfully well aware of, I strongly believe that only a licensed psychiatrist can help you. What you NEED, is not any more explanations, but more...

  13. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    There is no actual range. look this is a long post. Please read the whole thing. I spent about an hour on my phone thumb typing this ish for you, boy. So you betta read it. Man to man. OK? Safe...

  14. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I AM educating you. What I am not doing is placating you. Please learn the difference. If your objective here, is really TO learn, then you will learn. If its merely to troll a post about...

  15. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Also, just the use of the term "having game" is beyond reprehensible. It is so objectifying of whatever human you seek to have sex with, and converts them, almost literally, into a form of sexual...

  16. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I kinda love that you openly want to find out what causes a person to have a particular sexual preference, or fluidity. But its also a bit cringey. I mean, what causes people to have body...

  17. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I think asking questions is actually a part of respecting someone. Obviously, if you cant be tactful and polite, the friend won't feel respected, anyways. Additionally, if you don't really care...

  18. Anyone relying on lipreading? I had to quit bedside nursing.

    Surfin USA replied to Streetnurse42's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    It does cause other nurses to have to remove their masks briefly to say something to you, but its not an accomodation that cant be accomplished. It could also help, to ask for a mirror next to your...

  19. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of people think the Q stands for Queer but thats apparently only one way to say it. I saw a PSA a couple years back by a LGBTQ rights site that said the Q is questioning, but apparently both...

  20. My Experience of Trans Ideology and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Well, its not our place to judge... anybody. And I find that after reading the entire thread, that this is pretty much a nurse on a witch hunt of sorts, and its sad, because this is a hunt against the...

  21. School Shootings

    Surfin USA replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    In terms of Christianity, there's something some of you need to know: Separation of church and state is a one way street. Religion can affect the legislation, but church cannot BE legislated. I...

  22. School Shootings

    Surfin USA replied to OldDude's topic in General Nursing

    I think that there should be a zero tolerance policy on bullying, and that said policy should be strictly enforced, including the use of the juvenile judicial system, for children that are in the...

  23. I hate my CNA job!

    Surfin USA replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I felt the same way working in a nursing home, which had a mixed in population for rehab, and a LOT of incontinent total assist patients. I worked nights, and felt lucky if I got time to take a drink...

  24. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    Also, most domestic violence BEGINS when a woman is pregnant. Men who abuse, will be so stressed over fatherhood, and abuse her lady parts (either punching her or fisting it who knows I've had both...

  25. Pro Life Beliefs and Nursing

    Surfin USA replied to Tuzla99's topic in General Nursing

    Having an elective abortion is no less responsible or unusual than getting a lap band, for bariatric patients. One could say "oh they should not have been so gluttonous,and have no right to try to...
