    PoodleBreath replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I see what you're saying. Maybe we should bring the force of flatulence in to help with the

  2. Nursing Products We'd Like To See

    PoodleBreath replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    One of those plug-in diffusers that emits ativan around the unit. Good for the patients, great for the

  3. Personal Life Affecting Work Life

    PoodleBreath replied to Newnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    For me a red flag in this post is the idea that you are neglecting your husband, and am wondering where that idea is coming from. Does he believe that you need to be present in every moment to prevent...

  4. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    PoodleBreath replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious about how much time it would take to do seven attempts. Was the ICU nurse with the student the whole time? Seems like it would take up a good chunk of time for a busy

  5. COVID Misinformation/Ignorance

    PoodleBreath replied to GS ED RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    More and more I am starting to feel like cruelty has become the new ignorance. Those kinds of comments from these people seem to come from a place of anger and aggression rather than a difference of...

  6. Order transcription

    PoodleBreath replied to PixxieDust's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also a little confused about the chain of events, whether the order was rewritten on the actual T.O in the chart or if it was on the MAR but another nurse - or anyone - can't write a T.O. if they...

  8. Am I doing the right thing?HELP

    PoodleBreath replied to RNShushain's topic in General Nursing

    I had this experience in my very first job. Community clinic, they invited me to interview, described the job, I said that I didn't think it was a good match because what they were describing was that...

  9. COVID-19: Suspected Abuse of Systems

    PoodleBreath replied to Missingyou's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Funny story, my sister is a manager at a large restaurant chain. They have a system where people have to call and report any exposure/symptoms of COVID to determine whether they should call out. They...

  10. Mental health vs BON

    PoodleBreath replied to StartingOverFresh's topic in General Nursing

    I also have PTSD and have been in therapy. I also spent many years working with veterans who have PTSD. My suggestion is to find a provider who specializes in PTSD (a lot of them say they do but their...

  11. Would this covid prep doc help?

    PoodleBreath replied to dontknowmuchaboutanything's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's very nice that you did this and I'm sure it will inspire a lot of conversation. My main concern is that it puts the burden of self care on nurses. We all know what we need to do for self care....

  12. Hospice LVN vs RN

    PoodleBreath replied to moomin's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I'm an LPN who transferred from SNF to hospice. We work with patients in nursing homes, hospitals, private homes and also have an inpatient unit. We occasionally go to the ER with our patients. People...

  13. How to Answer a Patient Who Asks: "Does God Exist?"

    PoodleBreath replied to S.I.C.'s topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I've never had a patient ask me if G-d exists. I've had patients talk to me about their spiritual beliefs and I have engaged respectfully and non-judgmentally with them because I am always interested...

  16. President Trump and the First Lady Test COVID Positive

    PoodleBreath replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Posting a really fascinating personal letter written by a nurse to a friend while she was working during the Spanish flu. October 17, 1918 Dear Friend

  17. Unreasonable Risks are not part of the job

    PoodleBreath replied to ReflectiveRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I feel like Rzyzzy was making a point about the way the industry disparages healthcare workers who don't have BSNs and who don't work in hospitals. I understand the bitterness and feel it as well. At...
