    Kudos to you for trying to advocate for your patient. You sound like an excellent nurse in the making with your heart in the right place. When I saw things like this, my instructor told me the same as...

    Quiet nurse?

    LovingNurse replied to LauraLiz's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school with a very quiet person. She never appeared at all rude, just quiet. I always loved it when she had to speak for an assignment or to give her required opinion on something....

    Anyone have any tips on how a unit secretary can decipher a doctor's handwriting?

    LovingNurse replied to Emptynstr2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a unit secretary for several years and let me assure you, this experience will serve you very well in your career! It may be weird, but I really love deciphering orders. (Like a puzzle/game one...

    DVT prophylaxis

    LovingNurse replied to genesbitera's topic in Patient Education

    I have not seen SCD's used on the upper extremities. Does your hospital have a DVT risk assessment? We have one that's required on all new admissions. Ours has been revised a few times. Perhaps you...

    I am not in the medical field yet I would respectfully like to ask a quick question.

    LovingNurse replied to James 1967's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there, James... You were worried if nurses might think you just wanted catered to and had asked if people really do that.... which was what my "yes, it happens" and the manipulative/creepy...

    I am not in the medical field yet I would respectfully like to ask a quick question.

    LovingNurse replied to James 1967's topic in General Nursing

    Most nurses are very kind and don't think twice about helping someone get dressed or cleaned up when they can't do for themselves. Most nurses are also pretty keen at sensing who is capable and might...

    briefs or diapers

    LovingNurse replied to nrsman1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so glad to read most aren't referring to these as diapers. I think it's awful for a medical professional to call them diapers if they're being worn by an adult. Yes, I too have had a few adult...

    Nasty Doctor

    LovingNurse replied to scrubberRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I started at my hospital, I was warned about a certain physician's temper. Apparently, the nurses had been instructed to file incident reports each time he behaved poorly. In their reports they...

    Some Sonography Help

    LovingNurse replied to JamesMC's topic in General Nursing

    I think sono is a great option. I keep trying to talk my son into it but he thinks it sounds totally boring. I think it sounds like a pretty sweet deal. Good luck.

    Physician Assistants questions

    LovingNurse replied to WKredz5's topic in General Nursing

    I seriously thought about becoming a PA instead of an RN. I went the RN route because there are more possibilities and because I know many people don't like being treated by a PA (myself and my family...
