  1. Urine Drugscreens without pt's permission?

    GardenDove posted a topic in General Nursing

    These are always ordered on suspicious pts, and I'm curious if that is the case everywhere? Isn't there a privacy issue here. Certain things we need to get permission for, such as an HIV test, which I...

    I have mixed colors on my chin, blond, dark and white. They aren't quite a goatee, but they have multiplied over the years to 20 or more. How much does this service

    GardenDove replied to cshelly12's topic in General Nursing

    All I know is that many nurses are nearing menopause and need this service. They should advertise on this very site. My personal chin has almost gotten out of hand as I approach

  5. Are you sick of nursing numbers game ?

    GardenDove replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

  7. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    How true, yes there certainly are some militant athiests who seem offended that others believe in God. It's important for all people to respect the beliefs of others and not belittle them or try to...

  8. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Regarding baptizing babies whose parents aren't Catholic, it's against the rules of the Church. You are not supposed to baptize a baby without permission of the

  9. I'm quitting nursing

    GardenDove replied to MVH119's topic in General Nursing

    You're very sensible Tweety. Actually, you should have seen me last summer, I was ready to cash it in myself. I was so p1ssed off about my place of employment because of the continual uproar there due...

  10. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Now, I don't know the details of the conversation that my collegue was having with that pt. I wonder if it's okay to talk about one's faith when a pt is questioning or searching? Some people might...

  11. When is it ethical to talk about religion with a patient?

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's difficult for a person who believes that someone needs to accept Christ to not try to convert a sick person who they think is bound for

  12. I'm quitting nursing

    GardenDove replied to MVH119's topic in General Nursing

    Probably so. It's just that I've noticed several dramatic "I'm leaving nursing forever" threads since I've been here. I've posted on some other forums before, and I notice that people do do these...

  13. Coworker complained about her husband half the night.

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    OK, I've gotten alot of good advise. If it happens again I'm going to be more direct. I guess I feel sorry for her, but I'll just be assertive if she brings it up. Something like "I'm so sorry you're...

  14. I'm quitting nursing

    GardenDove replied to MVH119's topic in General Nursing

    So, what's your point in coming here and being totally negative? Move on... Some of us like nursing and think our co-workers are

  15. Vent: I absolutely HATE stupidity! Not ignorance.....STUPIDITY!!

    GardenDove replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yesterday I was driving through the worst slush of the year and a stupid SUV pulling a snowmobile trailer, pulled in front of me in order to make a left turn. I almost slammed into them. The same...

    GardenDove replied to MVH119's topic in General Nursing

    Good Luck. I like nursing, even though it has a less than glamorous aspect to it. Nurses are really awesome people with whom I'm proud to be associated

  17. Coworker complained about her husband half the night.

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I have an idea, I think after the first ed session day, once she knows how to get there, I'll make up an excuse as to why I need to drive separately. It's a 1 1/2 drive each way, a ripe opportunity...

  18. Circ on a 2yr old?

    GardenDove replied to Danianne's topic in Pediatric

    I don't think that's true. I'm pretty certain that the entire Muslim world is circusized soon after birth, much like Jewish

  19. Coworker complained about her husband half the night.

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    The three day seminar is not in all one chunk. It's a CCRN review course with 3- one day sessions not all in a row. I promised her that I would drive, it's in the Seattle area, she's not familiar with...

  20. Coworker complained about her husband half the night.

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for the replies. I definately don't want to offend or hurt her, but I might have to be more direct if it conts to be a problem. I know she needs support, but neediness is a huge turn off to me...

    How am I going to stand a 3 session ed day with her? I really wanted to go to this. They are all day sessions, one at the end of Feb and 2 in

  22. Coworker complained about her husband half the night.

    GardenDove replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I tried that, then she launched into a long diatrabe about how she would never, never get married again if her husband died, I'm telling you, she couldn't control it. I tried saying something...

  23. Got someone mad at me

    GardenDove replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing worse than a know-it-all, pushy CNA with an attitude. There are just certain personality types that rub me the wrong way, and this type of person fits the
