    Have Nurse replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

  7. Fainted while watching blood being drawn... Advice for nursing student?

    Have Nurse replied to LindseyPar's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I have to take exception to that. Without diminishing what that poor student is going through. Some of us are born with stronger stomachs. Merely the luck of the gene pool. I have...

  8. My DoN is a terrifying nepotistic bully. What do I do?

    Have Nurse replied to Illmarinen's topic in General Nursing

    My colleagues have given you some very good advice. And, if I may offer a gentle suggestion, don't cross the boundaries. You mentioned communication regarding your lost paperwork which really is no...

    Have Nurse replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I believe they misused the word "civilian. Perhaps they meant to say "non-nurses".

  10. Could I have my license taken away

    Have Nurse replied to mindiianajones's topic in General Nursing

    Poor kid! You were providing first aid like anyone would who cared. But I would like to gently suggest that in the future you do not use Bacitracin for a situation like this. Not because so much of...

  13. What made your jaw drop

    Have Nurse replied to DextersDisciple's topic in General Nursing

    I must respectfully disagree. Many patients are sensitive to low doses and with family members worried about their loved one waking up in pain, they think (erroneously of course,) that they are doing...

  15. Under investigation

    Have Nurse replied to Clare2125's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You should be able to defend yourself, if you are doing your job, with or without cameras. This is why documentation as you go is so

  16. Dr makes me feel so incompetent?

    Have Nurse replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    The next time a doc asks you that question, ask him/her (respectfully) "Why wouldn't you recheck it?" A good and prudent nurse will recheck, especially if the order is new. You felt incompetent...

    Have Nurse replied to gizmojamz's topic in General Nursing

    You are correct when you say that the real world is different than nursing school. That isn't true for everyone. While state requirements only allow instructors to teach certain concepts etc., an...

  22. I Desperately Want Out

    Have Nurse replied to toxiktraktor's topic in Nursing Career

    That's true. And frankly, she sounds too overwhelmed right now to be considering further education. There are 8 hour positions out there, O.P. Start perusing the ads. But it may not hurt to sit...
