  1. Awkward Situation

    Logan replied to Lily C.'s topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm no "young buck"... but the argument that the pt. is a "pervert" is pure nonsense. How old is the pt. again? How many of you puritans condemning him remember yourselves and your 'aches and...

  2. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

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

    Hi, Here's a twist to the title of the thread: something that I DID say to a patient and I haven't been "reprimanded for" (... yet). Every once a while, I pick up extra hours in the Emergency...

  4. Oh no she didn't!

    Logan replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm not a hospice nurse. The "dying patients" I usually am involved with are the "actively trying to die" type. So take my post with a grain of salt. ????That statement alone just confuses the...

  5. Spinal wash?

    Logan replied to Sister Fox's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I used to work on an ortho-med/surg floor before I switched to pediatrics.I admit that I'm stumped. I've had some pts. come back post-op with epidurals in place for pain control. But I've never...

    Logan replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

  7. Spinal wash?

    Logan replied to Sister Fox's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, This is the closest thing I could find relating to a "Spinal Wash": http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=2052491 Hope this was of some assitance. thanks,

  8. So nursing is not his thing

    Logan replied to ExpensiveBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Given today's hi-tech world (and it's only going to get more high tech in the future), I would consider marrying the two fields - such as RN-informatics... Or some such. I do also; partly echo the...

  9. Preemptive Horizontal Violence, Get 'em Before They Start

    Logan replied to hvlqodvhiniyc's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Horizontal violence? Me thinks you doth protest too much.As Gila already pointed out, profering medical/legal advice is against the Terms of Service of these boards. It's one thing to seek...

  10. 8:1 pt load, foreign nurses, let's import more to maintain profits, keep costs down!!

    Logan replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, At my old job, I was routinely subject to 7-8 pts. per noc. With one CNA/Tech for 36 pts. I'm a "half breed" - but other than me, every other nurse and tech on the unit was born and brought up...

    Logan replied to sunshine0808's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, To answer your question:It depends on the symptoms/problems the pt. presents with. Example: If your pt. presents with a BP of 90/50 and you're ordered a nitroglycerin drip - your calculations...

    Logan replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    Hi, If nothing else, you must be commended for the following: Such openess and approachability is refreshing to see in a teacher. As you can probably imagine, I had some really difficult teachers....

  15. Where do you draw the line?

    Logan replied to fuuchan's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm not sure I agree with earle58's view of us being the servant of the pt. I'm a professional who provides a vital aspect of modern health care. I am no body's servant. That said - I agree with...

    Logan replied to ffearme12's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    hi, i'm sorry but this is absolute rubbish - you are comparing apples to oranges to orangutans.it's an easy cheapshot to accuse asian economies but the truth is that china, india and other asian...

  18. What is "Press Gainey"?

    Logan replied to ScooterNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Press Ganey: an entity that continues to exist to cater to the consequences of short sighted policies designed by those who lack moral eptitude and intestinal fortitude. thanks,

    Logan replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I do believe I like your "pager" idea. I don't like adding on more cords - we already have emough to deal with. But a pager seems do able. Heck! Anything that doesn't wake up sleeping kiddos...

  21. "The Jesus Factor"

    Logan replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Really? For example: You think the "Catholic definition of Christianity" is the 'same definition' as the "Protestant definition of Christianity" ? I guess you do, since you say "Yep, looks like the...

  25. Insight & advice on Critical care(ICU) VS. general Med-Surg floor?

    Logan replied to RUcon08's topic in General Nursing
