  1. Need advice/feedback on response I got from job interview

    GilligansPlace replied to Peachpit's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are over thinking it friend. I wouldn’t worry about

  2. Need advise regarding uncomfortable, disrespectful situation

    GilligansPlace replied to Maria Crocker's topic in Men in Nursing

    I’m in the category of ‘who cares what sex they are?’ Seriously, do you think twice about taking care of male patients when you have to see them in more vulnerable positions? Probably not...

  3. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, long story short, my patient’s daughter (also a nurse) threatened me and informed me She was reporting me to the BNE. The patient had a hypotensive episode and she was upset I called the...

  4. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    GilligansPlace replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I don’t think I’d waste my time on a doctorate then. You can totally use your master’s in a hands off role and still be in nursing though. No one should be ‘forced’ to put anything in their...

  5. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    I should add the only reason I took vitals is because I was calling the doctor. I did not expect her pressure to be low; I just never call a physician without current VS and the ones taken by the tech...

  6. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely saw her point of view, but I don’t think she had all the information. I actually paged the physician before I had a BP (again anticipating asking for a urinary catheter order in a...

  7. I can’t get past orientation and want to be an aid instead

    GilligansPlace replied to Bjessica's topic in General Nursing

    7 patients is beyond ridiculous and unsafe. I’ve been a nurse for 14 years and I can’t do 7 patients and keep my head above water. You absolutely are wrong is thinking it is anything you

    Thank you

  9. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Her daughter was not present until afterward. She was on the phone with her father and when I left to get the fluids to start the bolus he handed the phone to my tech who was still at the bedside said...

  10. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! Thank you. I definitely wish I had handled the verbal exchange with the daughter better. I should have kept quiet and not tried to defend myself against the allegations. I was trying to explain...

  11. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much. I was seriously questioning my own judgement here but I just didn’t get that gut check that this a situation that couldn’t be

  12. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Well, initially it started with the patient complaining “she couldn’t go to the bathroom”. I had personally walked her to the bathroom about two hours earlier and knew that she had voided...

  13. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    GilligansPlace replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I’m so upset that anyone would think I wasn’t acting in the best interest of my patients. I was so surprised to have another nurse act that way. I know it’s a high stress situation
