    Yelling Doctors, How do you handle them?????

    Magsulfate replied to Danielle7's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I had a favorite middle eastern doctor... it took TWO years to get him to smile and say hello to me in the ICU. Well, I never gave up with the smile and "goodmorning" It finally worked. His favorite...

    Losing HOPE!

    Magsulfate replied to Someday2bRN's topic in General Nursing

    Get up today and go look for a job. Don't stop until 5pm. You need to realize that things could be so much worse, and they will get worse if you don't get a job. Now, you're still waiting for the...

    Having Problem with Manager

    Magsulfate replied to LelaRN's topic in General Nursing

    OHHHH I hate that! But guess what, it probably means that you are so good at your job that your manager can't stand the thought of losing you. SO, with that in mind, if you REALLY want to go to...

    Alcohol Intoxication.

    Magsulfate replied to ghost's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds about normal to me. The two beer thing , well, as I look back into my childhood, we used to give dad a beer every 6 hours the first day, and like twice the second day, and then one time the...

    "Take care of my mom!"

    Magsulfate replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like the perfect case for Adult Protective Services. Call them, get them there or take the lady down to the ER to have them admitted. Then let the family figure out what they are going to...

    Magsulfate replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    This sucks, I know I've been through a lot with my insurance. But just look at what you can do. Stay where your at, and maybe keep your insurance..( i don't know if you've already quit) Postponing the...

    Magsulfate replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I recently talked to someone I graduated highschool with, we hadn't talked in over 16 years. She is an elementary school teacher, and I am a nurse. I told her there was nooo way I could be an...

    Nothing like a good kick in the face

    Magsulfate replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I was kicked in the head before too. It knocked me for a loop. The patient was ventilated and the diprivan was running through a peripheral IV in the patient's wrist. It had gotten clamped off...

    What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    Magsulfate replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    At time time I was working at a place that I could not report this to anyone where they would believe me. I got out of that situation and into a different one, still bad, but different. The nurse was...

    How does your BON know your working?

    Magsulfate replied to sl33y's topic in Nurses Recovery

    They can check with your state's workforce department. In Texas it is the Texas workforce comission. When you sign your agreement with the Bon they are given authority to check up on you. And let me...

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

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

    This reminds me of the other day when some lady had her dog inside CVS. lol

    What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    Magsulfate replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    One time I was in helping an older male nurse with his patient. The patient was fighting us a little and the nurse,( in what I can only describe as a father disciplining a baby) spanked the patient...

    Magsulfate replied to mashamontago's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are several different scenarios that I have run across during my nursing career that I've had to take a bp using a patient's leg. Central line in one arm, HD graft in the other.... Amputations,...

    Nurse Recruitment Agencies?

    Magsulfate replied to SmashRN2's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes working through a nurse recruitment company is a good thing. They do most of the work for you. They will find a company that is interested in hiring a new grad... Instead of you searching...

    health insurance

    Magsulfate replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations.. I think? It's good right? Babies are miracles from Heaven. I was a mother of three (a set of twins in there) by the time I was 19. Anyway, I think the poster is asking about private...

    New Grad: Mom doesn't want me to work night shift

    Magsulfate replied to CCURN87's topic in General Nursing

    I find that having a box fan in my room turned on high drowns out a lot of noise. If it is the noise issue that your mom is worried about,,, the only thing she might not be able to do is vacuum. You...

    Magsulfate replied to amybaby2's topic in General Nursing

    I spoke with a recruiter a few days ago about the situation on nursing jobs. He told me that many nurses are relocating to the south because the job market for nurses in the north is bad. He said you...

    health insurance

    Magsulfate replied to newtelenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Health insurance is outrageous if you have to get a private policy. When I was working agency I tried to get a private policy for me and my children. For each child it was going to be $99 a month...

    Were there any nursing skills that you didn't get to do in nursing school?

    Magsulfate replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    So you've done some skills once or twice... and you've never done some. That sounds typical of any nursing program. You will be learning your skills once you get on the job. What I learned in nursing...

    Magsulfate replied to tp4ublue's topic in General Nursing

    You can use "nurse" or "this nurse" or avoid using I by changing the sentence. instead of saying "I bathed the patient and changed the linens", you can say "patient was bathed and linens changed" or...
