  2. Agency nursing...

    Haunted replied to Sandi0302's topic in General Nursing

    Be very nice, very pleasant. DO NOT EVER say "Oh This is how we usually do it at XYZ, we use this IV line at XYZ etc." You kinda get it, be really nice, really helpful and smile. Don't discuss your...

  3. i decided not to have my son circumcised-need feedback

    Haunted replied to nursemn's topic in General Nursing

    I regret having my son circumsized at 11 days old. I was exhausted and berated by his fathers folks to have it done. In the end, I was the one who took him to this barbaric clinic and sat numb as they...

  4. Nurses as Patients

    Haunted replied to alex1's topic in General Nursing

    Since I am currently going thru such a situation (see RN as Inpatient, horrible loooong rant!) I have to say that the kindest treatment I have received has been from MD's. Very surprising! Not all...

  5. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    It is very good to know there is a light at the end of this tunnel, and it's not another train coming at me! It sounds like you got excellent care all around and continue taking great care of...

  6. LPN'S Supervising RNs'? How would you feel?

    Haunted replied to cowgirl4u's topic in General Nursing

    I got one! Worked a psych unit of a hospital chain, they were losing staffers like a fart in a windstorm, finally talked this little guy, Psych Tech, into being charge nurse for a while. It was...

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    i'M GONNA MAKE IT! I saw my new and improved GYN today with my darling hubby. We brought all the medical records and radiology films back from New Orleans and this doc spent almost an hour in consult...

  8. Have you ever taken care of a famous pt?

    Haunted replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    I can disclose this.... Dr Rey of Dr 90210 did my breast augmentation and rhinoplasty back in 1999 when he was commuting to Newport Beach. He is an absolute charmer and according to the clinic staff a...

  9. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Finally home! I'm a bit of a dunderhead due to continous Zosyn IVPB and morphine around the clock. Stop me if you've heard this one.... Followed up with a new MD GYN close to my home about 10 days...

  10. I'm septic, or malignant, you decide

    Haunted posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am about 4 weeks TVH from a butcher in California who pretty much kicked me out the following morning with no pain meds and no dc instructions, except to say "NO SEX and NO JACUZZI for 6 weeks" and...

  11. Hysterectomy question

    Haunted replied to nurse34's topic in General Nursing

    I am almost 2 weeks post op TVH. Aww, what the heck, I am that 10% where everything went goofy. I think the more pre op information you can get your hands on, the better. Don't forget to file for temp...

  12. My first few days, as a new RN

    Haunted replied to starryx2's topic in General Nursing

    Fever has a good perspective on nurseing alternatives. Travel nursing is not for everyone but does look damn good on a resume when you find that dream job and want to settle down. It seems that the OP...

  13. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    Haunted replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    It would be intersesting to see what, if anything they write you up for, being "out of it"? You are pre occupied with a family members declining health, doesn't mean you are not a competant...

  14. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Reading over your thoughtful and informed replies, I need to share an epiphany pertaining to this "region" of disease. I am 48 years old. I am saying "goodby" to a way of life I have held onto for...

  15. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Intersesting follow up, now this MD is leaving messages on my phone which sound a lot like CYA, "Gee you know I am always here for you, almost 24 hours a day, it was Judy's fault that she didn't...

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Aww Ms Gooch, I love where your coming from but your gonna smack me upside my head when I say I have already done laundry, loaded the dishwasher and walked my dog every day. I am surely paying the...

  17. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    Hey Syeph, I too underwent what I thought was ablation. I signed the consent for it and everything, went under the general anesthesia and all, when I came out I felt great, very mild cramping, mini...

  18. RN as Inpatient, horrible and looong rant

    Haunted replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    I can only say that the shock and trauma of the procedure had me so immobilized at the time that I could only put my trust in this MD and have faith that it would get better. I have never undergone...

  21. Have you ever taken care of a famous pt?

    Haunted replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    This patient was a "John Doe" on the board, made a BIG deal out of letting everyone know NOT to give out info on him to people who may call. Turns out he was a former major league football player (...

  22. Dealing with a patient who verbally threatens you

    Haunted replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in General Nursing

    I have told patients that I will not accept them on my assignment if they are threatening to sue me. I write up an incident report and have never had a problem with my supervisor. This has only...

  23. Has anyone here ever put a doctor in their place?

    Haunted replied to Lachrymologist's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, I would bring things to their attention quietly, privately and without going on the offense as one professional to another. However I don't suffer fools gladly when they are out to do a...

    Haunted replied to gradof06's topic in California Nursing

    Well, request specialty as I mentioned in my earlier post, also consider per diem so you can work when you want, otherwise you will be working every other week end and most holidays. Good
