    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I was in the hospital after a procedure once. I had a student first day, and I had been asked by the clinical instructor if said student could do x, y, z, etc. I consented. The poor little gal was...

    Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    Hoosier_RN replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    If that were me or my family member that was being "practiced" on, you can bet your behind that heads would roll once I found out. When I was teaching, for any procedure we had to get patient...

    Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Anymore, with satisfaction surveys being the marker of good care, ethics committees have fallen to the wayside. I think maybe back

    Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    SBE-we must be sisters from different Misters ?! I have mine on paper. Hubby told me that he doesn't think he could do it. After discussions with my sons, they are my medical POAs and know my...

    Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    They would acuse us, but still demand the family member be kept alive at all cost. In America, so many think that there's a "magic cure" for everything, and that everyone has the right to it. It's...

    That First Domino

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for making me laugh. He definitely was suggesting the horizontal mambo, I just wasn't taking him up on it. He was an ***, had a beautiful and kind wife, 3 kids. Chased the few females working...

    That First Domino

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Plant manager was just plain nasty. Others duties, by his definition, were under the desk, at a motel, etc. He lost that job after I left, and 2 or 3 since, for sexual harassment. He has since...

    That First Domino

    Hoosier_RN replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    My domino was a day in my previous career (programming robotics in an automotive parts factory). Plant manager told me that I was taking a pay cut to 1/2 of current (I was most experienced, but made...

    COVID-19: Vaccination Administration Question

    Hoosier_RN replied to Rosie Cotton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    As far as the rest of the question, your company should have P&P to address this and provide clear guidelines. If they don't, please ask that this be done prior to 1st dose being given to anyone....

    Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I can't like (love) this enough. 30+ years ago, I started nursing school to learn how to help people learn to take better care of themselves for health promotion. If I'd had a crystal ball, I'd have...

    Rationing Care in COVID: Whose life is worth saving?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No, but when the resources of any region, US or otherwise, are stretched, this is what happens. In the US, we are used to a higher/more varied level of resources. Countries with single payer systems...

    Add me to the list...I've given my notice to go back to staff nurse (currently clinic manager), as a situation happened while I was off with covid. My manager wonders why I didn't do something about...

    Hoosier_RN replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    That poster didn't say they had the same system. Just acknowledged that this is what happens with rationed care. I've lived in other countries, and yes, this does happen with socialized medicine, or...

    If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    I think your stress from OT and general situation is playing havoc on your perception of others. You truly don't know what someone else is going through behind closed doors. Some of those that may...

    Happy New Year! What's Your New Year Resolution?

    Hoosier_RN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    Gotcha, I thought you were working a regular unit. I know, it is weird that staff, especially assigned to PUI isn't tested regularly. Sadly, I think TPTB just don't want to know. But once you are...
