  1. A Tom Swifty is when the verb or adverb matches the topic of the sentence. It is a parody of bad writing, a joke. Fun game. These are mine. My cardiologist is great, Tom said,heartily. Doc, I need a nebulizer, Tom gasped. You broke your leg, Tom. The doctor cràcked. Tom, please get undressed over there, the nurse barely said Who goes on break first? Let's toss a coin, Tom said, flippantly. What are your examples? Related or unrelated to health.
  2. I have found that no return call means that they have no answer yet, or possibly negative, that position is filled or something is pending. No one calls to say that they don't know. Just wait. Atmost, you might email someone, politely.
  3. If you are discreet about it, then how would employers know? If you use insurance, then it shows up, eventually. Seek your therapy away from where you work, privately if you are worried about someone knowing. Leave no paper trail on records. People may misinterpret or misconstrue your attempts for counseling. Play it very safe is my advice. Use another email account, if they ask you, another phone.
  4. Regular nurses are doing similar stuff on the internet, but this is most flagrant display I know about.
  5. I misspelled. And meant cystoscopy...in my large metroarea few NPs and females are in urology, .
  6. Yes, that is the question. Are they trained and do cystotomy? Or does it depend on the NP
  7. Are nurse practitioners in urology qualified to do check up procedures for patients who had bladder cancer and/or kidney stone operations (but are clear of that since)? Physicians do cystocomies, but am curious if female NPs also do with men? They don't answer their phones and I'd like your understanding on this.
  8. Not a nurse, but your post looks like it is time to quit. Easy to say try another area or setting, but who hires 58 year old nurses? Isn't there age discrimination, as with most occupations? Well, maybe not in eldercare.
  9. I don't know, but it depends the reason for your probation. No one comments without knowing more about you.
  10. Did the patient nod her head at all? That is consent. Implied. I, a man,was in a hospital post surgery, when a nurse walked in , and asked to see my back side butt, I nodded, as I was barely awake. I didn't care. She didn't say the reason. Something odd about her smile.
  11. One nurse said on the forum "I didn't hear anyone call me!". No joke.
  12. I am better at giving advice on decisions than making decisions. One common way is using numbers to rate taking the new job, or staying where you are. Evaluateyour reasons and feelings 1 to 10, fairly. The unpleasant hours vs benefits of new job, over keeping current job. The nights would disturb your sleep too much? But if you are young and flexible, maybe you can endure it. Only you can decide. So many things to consider so list them in order of importance, with numbers and add up pro and con . I am not a math person, but I do it myself . Can you take job for 1 year or modify the hours?
  13. I changed my mind. I messaged her and turns out she uses an inhaler. So it is a precarious situation. I would wear a mask and stand far away from it. It is 15 minutes.
  14. I asked my PCP doctor to remove a very old,and I think, false diagnosis of a psychological issue from my online record and she agreed. I asked her again and she said yes. Two years later I discovered that she did not. She lied it appears. In fact she updated it under" resolved. ". Not acceptable to me, and I am thinking of changing docs, except I am otherwise satisfied with her and the convenient clinic. I also think that the medical assistants have access to records. Your opinion?
  15. Serious reprimand is due. Big mistake made.
  16. This is one of the most common reason given for not hiring a candidate in all fields. I heard it numerous times in other jobs, myself. It means they have other People who have experience, not you. I learned that you have to Impress them with your personality and drive ,and that may not be enough. Study the technique procedures at least. Some even offered to work for less for a while to be ready, but I never did that and don't recommend it. Good luck
  17. So 15 minutes of being near smoke hurts you? I doubt it. Why do smokers need a chaperone? Next time, don't be aloof, but you should not be reported. IMO A verbal warning is enough.
  18. Is it possible that expired moderna vaccines are still good and effective? I am only guessing here. But is it possible that they know more about the vaccine than you and it is permissible to use them shortly after expiration? I am not a nurse so you tell me. And don't write the Fbi or governor or elected officials. Hard to believe you did that! They probably did not read the letter.
  19. Seneca and Epictetus are the foremost ancient stoics. Seneca is easier reading style. But not so easy to use everyday life. I cannot. It is easy to tell others what to do. Remember that they lived in Roman times under strict rulers I enjoy Seneca when he gives simple advice in life still applicable
  20. What is the motive? Or insanity?
  21. I am not a nurse, but if possible, the very violent patients ought not receive treatment, and they should be forewarned by law. Any serious assault and it is behind bars or handcuffed ,top security. They can get treated in prison, if at all. No tolerance
  22. That's right. Darnell Nurse plays for Edmunton Oilers hockey team, in the Stanley Cup Finals. What if he applied for a job in a hospital clinic? The interview might go like this: Interviewer: What are your goals, Mr. Nurse? Nurse: Well, I have 30 goals this year and I assisted 40. Interviewer: Great. How do you accomplish them? Nurse: I go full speed forward and am rarely blocked. I achieved every goal and my team is proud of this. Interviewer: Wonderful. Got many penalties? Nurse: I follow all the rules and don't make foul errors. Had a few timeouts. Interviewer: How are you in Overtime? Nurse: Great! I give it my best shot! Interviewer: Like, ICU? Nurse: "I like to see you, too" Interviewer: Ever work in high risk situations? Nurse: Certainly. I'm always on thin ice. Interviewer: Welcome aboard. Mr. Nurse, you're our nurse.
  23. The patient should do what she wants, it is her right. healthcare places say they are doing what is best for patients--while the facility profits or saves money. In the end, the facility comes out ahead or at least doesn't lose anything. And they have peculiar rules set up just for liability reasons fear of lawsuits.
  24. Is the RSV vaccine recommended for elderly patients? Or only those with asthma or COPD? What about patients who get 1-2 colds a year, never the flu? Is this necessary or strongly recommended currently by doctors or nurses? The drug is Arexvy.
  25. Basic psychology suggests that the nurses are resentful that you have a better job and are above them. Younger workers might feel they do not need your information or advice. I have seen this occur in other jobs. They feel a bit superior and don't need another "nurse" to make them better nurses, perhaps. Over confidence. Your style of communicating and teaching might be the issue. I can't give you advice, but at least rephrase your suggestions. This insolence is common in the workplace of many occupations.
