    How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    I’ve also hidden the new girlfriend. It’s too painful to see him look at her the way he once did at

    Coworkers Respecting Each Other's Office Space

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I can't lock the office door, unfortunately, but I've started locking the computer. Hopefully, that gets the message across. Honestly, I wasn't going to say anything to my supervisor. However,...

    Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    It's unfortunate, but I agree that it may be challenging, if not impossible, to obtain the physical and mental balance that I am hoping to achieve with this patient. This is where, as you mentioned,...

    How Has Your Nursing Career Affected Your Relationships Or Other Aspects of Your Life?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Alright, so this is strange. Someone from a farmer's insurance agency just reached out to me. They want to interview me for a sales position. So...I'm not qualified to work as an...

    Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    Any suggestions on how to boost one’s natural intelligence appreciated. With that said, this patient deserves a manager who already has

    Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with improving my clinical practice and it is something I strive to do every day. However, should improving my clinical practice come at the expense of a patient? I’ve already been given 4...

    Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    However, on the flip side...doesn't it make more sense to assign the more complex patients to the more intelligent

    Have you ever requested a patient be removed from your workload?

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    There probably is some truth to that. This is why I haven't actually approached anyone about sending her to the other unit if she does return. We've already received a referral for her again,...

    Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    I'd almost be inclined to provide a corrective action to whomever is opening the windows, honestly. Common sense would tell you that it's probably not good to expose older adults with weakened immune...

    Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    We have meetings in the mornings, so I agree this is something that should be brought up. I think whoever has been doing it probably thinks they are playing a prank, but it's not really funny when...

    Coworkers Opening Patient Windows During Inclement Weather

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Alas, posting effectively provocative threads is a skill that requires practice. Think about this: If one never tries to insert an IV, one will always be bad at IV insertion. Same when it comes to...

    One must have a very low level of self-esteem then if they are using any of my threads to boost themselves up. LOL

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Here is a hint as to whether or not one may be interested in a thread... If the thread's title starts out with "Coworkers..." there's a pretty good chance that I may have created it. Thus, if...

    SilverBells replied to nurseinthecity11's topic in General Nursing

    Just reading this thread stresses me out. One of my greatest fears is having to be involved with any contact with any board of nursing at any time in my career. I've actually thought of leaving...

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I'm pretty close to being 13 years old...there's less than a 20 year age difference between me and a 13 year old, so I can see where the comparison might come

    SilverBells replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Note: There is always an element of truth to all of my threads. All of them are based on real-life events and occurrences. With that said, some may have been, ahem, "enhanced," for entertainment...

    Right. Everyone pretty much knows my posting style by now, so if you don't enjoy what I have to say, it's incredibly easy to avoid clicking on any posts that have "SilverBells" next to them....
