  6. The future of Obamacare

    shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Good points UKRN...and I do believe you agree that the government cannot be trusted, as implied by your word "corpocracy." Therein lies the problem. Do I care that some people are influenced by Fox...

  7. The future of Obamacare

    shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As I stated before I am neither a republican or a democrat, so I am not here to get into any "political warfare." I was simply stating that you can look at both sides of the argument and find ugliness...

  8. The future of Obamacare

    shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How soon we all forget about the "thugs" from the left during the Bush administration. Remember Cindy Sheehan? She was anything but calm, and went over the line many times in her war-protesting rants....

  9. The future of Obamacare

    shuuu1968 replied to CRNA2007's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I would like to just say that I have a friend from Toronto, and she is not a fan of the universal health care system in Canada. Her uncle had to wait 7 months for basic hernia repair surgery. It was a...

  10. NO Pain medicines for my Mom!

    shuuu1968 replied to Hospice RNCM's topic in General Nursing

    I think the son should come in and assist or just watch for a few days while you do the dressing change, maybe seeing his mother writhe in pain may snap him into reality. I hate when family thinks...

  12. What do you write on your pt's bulletin board?

    shuuu1968 replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    We put patient name, room, date, diet, activity , rn, and ca. Diet and activity in case someone else answers a light and doesnt know the patient, they can see it says "up with assist" or "cardiac...

  13. Stress-proned

    shuuu1968 replied to -alice-'s topic in General Nursing

    Why don't you see if you can shadow in a few different units of the hospital? Maybe some more stressful ones like ER or step down. That way you can get a feel for it. Respiratory therapy is a lot of...

  14. Nursing Sucks! Or Does It?

    shuuu1968 replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    One more thing, The quote regarding the unit clerk and her "reality check" bouncing...be careful. I am so grateful to my unit clerks when I am swamped with new admissions, and they are there for me to...

  15. Nursing Sucks! Or Does It?

    shuuu1968 replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    I think the forums here allow us all to vent as nurses, without the reprimand or scrutiny we would get if we did at our jobs. It is a safe haven where we can all vent from time to time. I think that...

  16. Incompetent nurses

    shuuu1968 replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that is harsh, and so demeaning, and downright not true. I had a patient a few weeks ago (I am in a cardiac/neuro unit) anyhoo...this patient was on peritoneal dialysis, and had an order for the...

  17. Incompetent nurses

    shuuu1968 replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to speak to the comment made that rapid response was invented because nurses don't know what to do. Actually, rapid response is getting as many people to help a patient from a potetial...

  18. Incompetent nurses

    shuuu1968 replied to medicrnguy's topic in General Nursing

    You know, myself, I can hold it for HOURS. I do think at some point I will go into chronic renal failure, but for now....The patients come first, right?
