  1. When good vent threads go bad.....

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    They would probably say yes, and complain that the fries took too long to be delivered. And they would want you to open the ketchup packets for

  2. When good vent threads go bad.....

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    I forgot to add this, but it does come under selfish entitlement. Sometimes it takes law enforcement, and nurses should be able to call them when needed. If any place has a policy against this, I...

  3. Nurse fired for calling police

    squeakykitty replied to Runman1914's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes, nothing will work to defuse the situation, especially if they're dealing with a person who is high on drugs such as PCP. I'd call the police if I seriously thought the person was posing a...

    squeakykitty replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I know a good place to stick that

    squeakykitty replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Sometimes, a person just has to be assertive and set boundaries against the bullies. Maybe she will just flunk out, which would save the class and future pts.

    Bump! This is an interesting

  8. Medical This or That

    squeakykitty replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Backbiting coworkers. A manager with a backbone can take care of them. A demented person "fingerpainting" q 30 min. or an arrogant nasty

  9. Medical This or That

    squeakykitty replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    10 sutures with no local, it's less miserable than a migraine. Clean up gallons of C-diff. diarrhea or take care of a demanding meth

  10. Medical This or That

    squeakykitty replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Diarrhea. The hiccups are more annoying. Clean up maggots out of necrotic tissue or deal with the demanding out-of-control family for 12

  11. They State Allowed a Kidnapper to REMAIN A NURSE!!

    squeakykitty replied to Teleflurry's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe for one moment he was provoked. His were the actions of a sex predator and there was no excuse. I wonder what would have happened if someone didn't intervene when they

  12. EEK! There's a woman in my room!

    squeakykitty replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    58flyer, I have followed some of your other posts and all I can say is---That nurse may have robbed you of your innocence, your sense of security, your dignity, and your ability to have kids. Please...

  13. Well, it finally happened after 2.5 years...

    squeakykitty replied to Sue Damones's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry you had to go through all this, and hopefully you won't have to ever put up with her nonsense again. Somehow, I don't think she's a nurse or even a CNA, since she doesn't seem to know the...

  14. Have you ever...

    squeakykitty replied to alcrab01's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have passed a real fragrant one in the hall when no one was around. It was near a bathroom. (It wasn't me--honest.:idntdt:) One of my mom's friends told of how her mother would let a fart slip...

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

    squeakykitty replied to squeakykitty's topic in Emergency

    I don't think they ever will. At least stupidity=job

  16. What did you do

    squeakykitty replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I read this thread and I love the "If you can't do for yourself, we need to discuss nursing home placement". I also don't like the creepazoids who want a nurse to place their member into the urinal...

  17. I know they're not all like this, but whats up with Nursing Homes?!?

    squeakykitty replied to Sue Damones's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Not all nursing homes are bad, but the ones that are need to be reported to the state. Maybe they got that bad because they weren't reported, and that's a shame. As for the owners that let this happen...

  18. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    squeakykitty replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    Motorcycle Mama-- I've read a lot of your posts here, and I can tell that you're not ugly. The people who did all this to you are truly ugly on the inside due to the abusive cruelty in their...

  19. Good Looking Enough to be a Nurse?

    squeakykitty replied to casey1988's topic in General Nursing

    despite what the culture and standards hollywood and the media would have us believe, i totally agree with ruby vee's post. the only thing that should matter is a persons character and if they are a...

  20. These docs are gonna fight!

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    I love this quote. I just meant she should do documentation while she is advocating for the patient, and try to avoid the docs attempts at blaming the nursing staff. I guess I didn't post clearly....

  21. Why is it? Things nurses do other people can't

    squeakykitty replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    Can watch an anatomy video then go to lunch. Can describe nearly anything they see or smell at the hospital in food terms. (That's

  22. These docs are gonna fight!

    squeakykitty replied to chenoaspirit's topic in General Nursing

    That primary doc is a doofus. Better try to stay out of the way and CYA. I would love to hear the updates on

  24. Is It OK for Nurses to Do These Things?

    squeakykitty replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Number 1 and 2 are bad practice. Number 3 is "iffy" as

  25. They taped the what to the WHAT!

    squeakykitty replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard of men deliberately taking it off just so they can get the nurse to handle their member. The perfect tape for that would be duct
