  1. Do You Tell EVERYONE You Are a Nurse?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    And now I'm starting to think that it's a good thing that I am not a particularly trusting person. I would not have gone into a stranger's house alone. I think I would have told her that I was...

  2. Unborn Children

    Blee O'Myacin replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    In NJ, the police refer these types of cases to DYFS and they take it from there. As I recall, there have been cases where women have been charged with child endangerment for doing drugs while...

  3. Give it to me hard! -

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Lurdes777's topic in General Nursing

    The question should not be whether you'd get accepted, but whether or not, with no previous exposure to the healthcare field, you'd feel equipped to function as a registered nurse after a brief period...

  4. Do You Tell EVERYONE You Are a Nurse?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I have never made a secret of my profession, have taken public transportation - in uniform - to and from work, and no one has ever given me a hard time with my reponse of "I'm sorry you are having...

  5. How To Become an Emergency Nurse

    Blee O'Myacin replied to happy_bunny_101's topic in Emergency

    Hi Amanda, The ER is no place for dummies! In fact, just the opposite - you have to know your stuff and apply it independently. Check out the ER forums here, talk to your guidance counselor about...

  6. How often are you touching your patients?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to lucinka's topic in General Nursing

    As for being "that nurse" - if it is not in your nature to touch other people casually, then any attempts to do so come off as stiff and not genuine. It doesn't mean that I don't care, and I'll hold...

  7. Do you have to be "smart" to make it through Nursing school?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to AspiringNurse7's topic in General Nursing

    Why no, "smart" people go to medical school.... that's why I'm "just" the nurse.. Seriously, my knee jerk reaction was to be offended by the original post, but I can't equate ignorance with a lack of...

  8. Who would you take a verbal order from?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to longhornfan1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    So I'm curious. Have the DON and ADON come out and said "take verbal orders from this LPN"? Or were they turning the other way when it was happening? Because if there is no hard evidence that the...

  9. Doing too much for your patients?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Whoa. You are doing way too much at once. If the patient is not in an unsafe situation, you need to delegate - find the aide assigned to you and state your needs. Since you are doing all of this...

  10. How often are you touching your patients?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to lucinka's topic in General Nursing

    I don't touch patients unless I am doing a procedure. That doesn't mean to say that I am cold or unkind, it just isn't in my nature to touch people unnecessarily, and I would not want anyone to...

  11. Do you think this was un-professional?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

    Things aren't always what they seem. The fact that you waited hours in the waiting room suggests to me that your mother wasn't critically ill. I'm sorry that you had to see the staff being human...

  12. Had this poseted in "local",but no response

    Blee O'Myacin replied to student-with-no-life's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad that your father is doing so well, but to come forward on a public forum violates HIPAA and puts these nurses at risk for discipline. Why not write a letter to the hospital administration...

  13. Nuse Tech to RN transition and Orientation

    Blee O'Myacin replied to aheiskill's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It's hard enough being a new nurse. Being a new nurse who is expected to function in your former capacity as a CNA is unsafe. However, you need to make yourself clear that you are busy doing...

  14. I need to hear from the real nurses!

    Blee O'Myacin replied to FuturoEnfermera's topic in General Nursing

    i am not an angel wiping a fevered brow at the expense of my knowledge base and professional manner. i incorporate the caring aspect of my practice into the pathophys and the other science. being...

  15. I'm tired of being assualted at work!!!

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Candy303's topic in General Nursing

    I have never had an experience like that. Did you receive any training from your facility before becomming a sitter? Our hospital trains employees in ways to protect themselves. (ie - getting out of...

  16. Patient's and Angry Families

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Daisy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's only mental abuse if you stand there and take it. No where in my job description does it say that I must be a doormat. I have said "Please stop shouting at me. All I hear is the shouting and...

  17. would you let family take pt to bathroom?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    i think this is where your nursing judgement comes in. if it's the first time oob to the bathroom on a new cva, well of course not. if this is a family who has already cared for the patient, knows...

  18. Sobering first day on the job.....

    Blee O'Myacin replied to KckStrt's topic in Emergency

    That's just horrible. Pedi codes are never, ever easy - and on your first day too. I am so glad that your educator sought you out and talked to you. Especially since you are so brand new and...

  19. patient condition phone calls

    Blee O'Myacin replied to marygirl's topic in General Nursing

    We use "confidentiality codes" at our facility. If the caller doesn't have one, I just tell them that I can confirm that they are a patient in the facility, and explain why I can't give the info....

  20. Meal and Potty Breaks

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Weeping Willow's topic in General Nursing

    I always go to the bathroom when I have to. I had the trauma room today in my assignment and unfortunately it was used a few times, but I managed to answer the call of nature. Once the patient was...

  21. What is Your Christmas Wish ??

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    I'm hoping for a code free day shift tommorow. That's my wish. Merry X-mas to all of you.

  22. Management is turning the hospital into the Four Seasons (If they could)

    Blee O'Myacin replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    If your patient has a cool TV, maybe they'll be distracted enough to "let you" go to the bathroom during your shift. Seriously. Go to the bathroom. You'll be able to provide better care if you...

  23. Nsg care of hypotensive pt

    Blee O'Myacin replied to OncNewbie's topic in General Nursing

    Better that you called a rapid response early than a code later in the shift. Talk to your charge nurse again - tell her that when you last talked you were preoccupied with caring for that patient...

  24. Once you get sick, you loose your mind??

    Blee O'Myacin replied to gt4everpn's topic in General Nursing

    without complete information, i have a few ideas, but no real answers. i'd say metastasis to the brain would be an option, as would infection altering mental status, or pain (even if she said she...

  25. Do people audit your nursing notes at your workplace?

    Blee O'Myacin replied to Dunno?'s topic in General Nursing

    Why wouldn't you want to correct something that is unacceptable according to facility standards? A late entry is perfectly legal, and would serve your own interests should anything about that patient...
