  1. Hospital wants pts restained rather than pay for sitters

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Well...I am yet again extremely disappointed by the "powers that be." I guess the hospital is over budget and has now decided getting rid of sitters is the way to save. We are now supposed to call...

  2. Hospital wants pts restained rather than pay for sitters

    I am still figuring out how to reply to posts:uhoh3: So I guess instead of wrapping text I made it

  3. Hospital wants pts restained rather than pay for sitters

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I do agree that a family member would be best...if at all possible. If, for instance, one of my maternal grandparents was in the hospital, having one from the family at all times would not be an...

  4. RN to BSN online

    DebRN06 replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi... I spoke with someone from UOP yesterday. Yeah, he made it all sound so good, easy. I really felt like I was speaking to a "used car salesman" or something though...especially with him saying...

  5. What would you have said to this??

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This afternoon I called to inform a doc that pt whose urine has been amber now has gross hematuria. Doc asks if pt has foley, I say yes and he says "well, d/c it. Maybe it will stop." I start to reply...

  7. Crazy Thing Pts Say or Do

    DebRN06 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    One of my favorites... At a LTC a LOL wheels herself over to me, grabs my hand and folds up my sleeves with such care (they were a bit too long, covering most of my hand). So cute...that motherly...

    DebRN06 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am increasingly becoming sickened by a group of docs where I work. They seem to keep their pts alive at ALL costs. I have heard one of them tell the daughter of my pt that the pt didn't have...

  9. That woman

    DebRN06 replied to springgarden's topic in General Nursing

    She was in my class too...but she added MMmhhmmm to her nodding!!!! :roll:roll :roll :roll :roll

  10. That woman

    DebRN06 replied to springgarden's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we have all had this experience. Oh, how I don't miss it!! I was in a biology class with a girl that would debate evolution vs creation with the instructor nearly every class. Now, I don't care...

  11. Doctors that think they are god...

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Yes..if it were to come RIGHT NOW. I would assume you are healthy, so you have not truly had to (as of yet) contemplate your own mortality. I will also guess that you have yet to lose both your...

  13. What would you have said to this??

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Elderly gent, tad demented...yes. I wimped out and pretty much went with..."okay, thank you...goodbye." Even if I had more experience under my belt, I think I would've still been too shocked to say...

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    burn out...i never said anything that could amount to ""they are just going to die," and that that i would want treatment withheld because someone was 70, 80 or whatever age stated by those of you...

  15. Doctors that think they are god...

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps...but I think GingerSue's conjecture that I "write people off," don't "assess and plan for each patient as an INDIVIDUAL" and that I have "preconceived notions about what an 85 y/o...

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Gingersue... Thanks for the advice...next time can it actually have something to do with what I posted about in the first place?? When I said "thanks for any input" in the OP I should have instead...

  17. Doctors that think they are god...

    DebRN06 replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    First off, I wasn't talking about your family member. You read into things that weren't there and made things up in your own head. This pt will never walk out of anywhere. I didn't think I would have...

  18. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    DebRN06 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    When I was a little girl, I would visit my great-grandparents in the "nursing home." It was such a scary and depressing place to me. The residents would all be lined up in the hallways in their wheel...
