    Good Samaritan Question

    ceecel.dee replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in General Nursing

    I would answer yes to the question. Living in fear seems a bit extreme to me...you would just do what you know should be done in any situation. Nurses provide care and do no harm...it does not require...

    Health Profession & Wacko's

    ceecel.dee replied to Zizka's topic in General Nursing

    I think "wacko" is in the eye of the beholder. My definition may vary greatly from yours, and I doubt it does much for the profession to profile it just this

    Causing financial damage at work (by accident)

    ceecel.dee replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    No. I consider this general "wear & tear", and employers have insurance on expensive items for just this reason. We are human, and usually in a hurry. Things get dropped. I'll bet even the...

    How are you judgemental?

    ceecel.dee replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I am not one of the saints...I disapprove (sp?) of the unwashed and odorous. It's just so unnecessary (sp?). I make a conscious effort to maintain a neutral face and to discretely don the gloves to...

    Holiday gift for manager?

    ceecel.dee replied to RNPamP's topic in General Nursing

    Nothing is expected. Keep it simple and inexpensive if she (he) remains on your list. Homemade, edible, holiday card, etc... Do not expect anything from them individually. A heart-felt "Merry...

    Seeking Advice

    ceecel.dee replied to checkmate's topic in General Nursing

    Well, where do you want to ultimately work? If you see yourself in LTC for the duration, work there throughout. If you don't yet know where you will end up, I can assure you that you will be exposed...

    Looking for opinions on a situation!!!

    ceecel.dee replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is what strikes me at first blush too. Frankly, I don't know the legalities in this situation. I think the adulteror was trying to protect his wife and baby, and at least that part is

    Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    ceecel.dee replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly right. If you talk to anyone, it should be a supervisor. I also agree with the poster who said something like, if something sets off alarms in your head or raises your eyebrows, it is...

    Hospital vs Nursing Home for new RN grads.

    ceecel.dee replied to maximaxi's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm a supporter of some acute care experience. If he knows that he will stay in LTC for his career, well, how nice to know what the future will bring! In times of a nursing shortage, he...

    Competency Test

    ceecel.dee replied to SAS32's topic in General Nursing

    Consents When Under The Influence

    ceecel.dee replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it is the doc's job to go over options, risks, benefits, etc with the patient. The collective "they" do not do this for the most part (if they did take the time to speak about it, did the...

    Paramedics advance into nursing

    ceecel.dee replied to cctparamedic's topic in General Nursing
