    How to deal with rude & demanding patients/residents?

    Hannahbanana replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    By putting ourselves in their shoes. Try a little humor, some distraction, lots of good cheer. Get him talking about his pictures, learn his interests, his joys. Hard to get him...

    Patient Abandonment

    Hannahbanana replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Stephen K. Bannon Finally Indicted

    Hannahbanana replied to SummerGarden's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    I saw in today's paper that he is asking for public disclosure of all documents related to the investigation and indictment. I can't think why, unless he thinks they'll be exculpatory, he's using it...

    Anyone get their Booster yet?

    Hannahbanana replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Patient Abandonment

    Hannahbanana replied to PMFB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you had somebody else write these posts, I'd say it might be time for a second opinion on that. I edit dyslexics and garden-variety poor writers, and you, my friend, don't show me that. Great...

    Cheating Classmates

    Hannahbanana replied to Hazex6's topic in General Students

    Many of these people will not pass NCLEX, so there’s that. Some people actually do learn from “study guides” like this, not that I’m advocating for dishonest exam-taking. I routinely recommend...

    Normal Findings List?

    Hannahbanana replied to kpmadden83's topic in General Students

    I must be missing something here. If an abnormal finding is XYZ, what reasonable person would be unable to deduce that a normal finding would be either absence of X, Y, or Z, or the opposite of X, Y,...

    Ah, the joy that lifted so many nurses’ hearts when answering machines came in. I expect a lot of staffing coordinators wept. This was far more consequential than caller ID, believe

    Anyone get their Booster yet?

    Hannahbanana replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Hannahbanana replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Nursing

    I’m sorry to hear that. Our state nsg assoc is very good about that stuff. I hope, though, that not everyone conflates corporate greed with the very real problem of negligence by genuinely bad...
