    squeakykitty replied to JB2007's topic in General Nursing

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just thought of this one------ Your arms and hands work just fine and you are perfectly capable of placing your member in the urinal. However, if you still have trouble holding it, I'm sure I can...

  6. what are these people thinking???

    squeakykitty replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    This is a nice, lovely, evil idea. The problem with this is the legal issues that may come from putting medication in the food. Hot peppers is a food item, and who's to say that a person doesn't...

  7. Charge nuse from HECK!!!!!LONG

    squeakykitty replied to PiPhi2004's topic in First Year After Licensure

    She delayed the intubation with her nonsense, and acted very unprofessionally by yelling and demeaning you. She sounds like a very insecure nasty bully. She needs to be reported to her boss. There is...

  8. Reprimanded for NOT giving IV Push Medicine

    squeakykitty replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you. I don't blame you for quitting. The scope of practice is there for a reason. Can this place be reported for unsafe

    squeakykitty replied to looking for answers0's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like the doctor and the nurse really dropped the ball on this one. This needs to go up the chain of command. Let us know what

    squeakykitty replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    How about doing your job instead of sucking up to the boss. Your lips are on the bosses backside so much that it's becoming an infection control

  13. what are these people thinking???

    squeakykitty replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    This is what I'd tell them when I caught them----I have some gross stories, absolutely no gag reflex, and a cast iron stomach. I hope you are enjoying that food you stole from me. And I could start...

  15. I'm so mad I could SCREAM! (LONG)

    squeakykitty replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    As far as documenting in the chart, you can ask the charge nurse if you can and how to go about it. But even if you can't, you can write down what happened and keep it in a safe place. Write down...

  16. what are these people thinking???

    squeakykitty replied to RNmom08's topic in General Nursing

    I would probably make a sandwich with a lot of habenero peppers since I can always take them out before I eat it. (Those peppers are hot enough to peel a layer of skin off the tongue) The person...

  17. I'm so mad I could SCREAM! (LONG)

    squeakykitty replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you can do an incident report on this but document what happened anyway, to cover your backside. It sounds like this nurse is being defensive, and stirring up the drama to cover her...

    squeakykitty replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    If I get a write-up, it will be because of something I did or did not do. It will not be because of someone lying about what I did or did not

  19. Strange things found on (or in) a pt.

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    I saw this one on "Untold stories of the ER" on the Discovery Health channel. A guy came in with a tree branch imbedded in his motorcyle helmet, and it was in his neck. He had fallen off his bike and...

  20. question about my posts

    squeakykitty replied to yuyu75's topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed that if you post on a thread, you are automatically subscribed to

  21. Patients who are too lazy to open their own splenda packets

    squeakykitty replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good thread to vent in and has been interesting. It's also been rocking and rolling lately, and I definitely would hate to see it get closed, or worse yet deleted. I don't see why a debate...

  22. Things you'd LOVE to say to TPTB, and get away with it!

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the managers that expect the nurses to cater to the rude, demanding families----Patients lives and safety are MUCH more important than "customer service", and maybe these people needs some serious...

  23. Noticing a trend here

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny how people get accused of being uncaring and having no compassion by the self righteous in a vent thread where nurses are venting about the selfish entitled peoples lack of compassion and...

  24. Noticing a trend here

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad this site is open. I've seen a dental hygienist, a veterinary tech, a police officer, pharmacists, a doctor, and a patient all posting here. All have posted some very good posts. I think...

  25. Noticing a trend here

    squeakykitty replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good place to swap stories and vent. I was thinking about starting a thread called "When good threads go bad", but AngelfireRN beat me to it. I think if someone is new here and is not a...
