  1. Watch your meds CLOSELY! (long)

    Cattitude replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    Some advice from a visiting nurse: Definitely talk to the pharmacy and bring the bottles in to them so they can see them. Also keeping meds at your house is a good idea. I have had my pt's putting...

    Cattitude replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you're saying but oy the cursin' he did! He in NO way, shape or form had to do that! And come on, she had a big ole' hospital ID on! So, in my eyes, he was wrong, wrong, wrong....

    Cattitude replied to volsfan's topic in Home Health

    There is something majorly wrong in your state/county if you have been waiting that long for a handicapped apt! Kellie, I have read many of your posts here, you sound like a great Mom and also seem...

  5. If you're following my HH hour vs per visit story, here's a follow up.....

    Cattitude replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Home Health

    I'm glad you had a chat with the owner. Now the only thing I can think of about why that nurse took so long on visits hence the OT is maybe she has ADD or OCD? Something like that? Which would also...

  6. Customer service....

    Cattitude replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just in utter, complete shock. The health care system is going down. WAY down.

  7. Student Nurse who needs some input/advice

    Cattitude replied to blyn79's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm, a 2 year program and then they come out and some call themselves nurses. Why don't they just go to NURSING school in the first place? I agree! Your clinical instructor should not be an MA for...

  8. Pay Issues

    Cattitude replied to allboymd's topic in Home Health

    Yes talk to the VP and tell her either you get your raise or here's the resignation. Have it with you. They can either pay you or pay a new nurse that wage. How crazy. I am glad for my union and fair...

  9. Hey Professors, tell us how it REALLY is!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I think that Zenman was making a point that some prospective students really have no idea what nursing is all about. Maybe they are just picking the idea of "nurse" out of thin air. And that it's...

  10. They rescinded my job offer...

    Cattitude replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Most places will now NOT give out unfavorable references but just give out dates of employment. I'm really surprised at

  11. Hey Professors, tell us how it REALLY is!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    All great examples of how there are always two sides to every story. Now I certainly know that a few professors have issues but I think the majority are wonderful and caring. I think that your post...

  12. Hey Professors, tell us how it REALLY is!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Oh sure, if you want to kill the thread. I posted it here because a lot more people will see it. If it's posted there, the probability is that mainly educators will see it. I want everyone to benefit...

  13. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    Cattitude replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to hear more accounts from a professor's point of view. It seems that all we hear about are stories from students. How about it TDub, and other teachers? How do you feel today's students...

  14. What can unlicensed personnel do?

    Cattitude posted a topic in General Nursing

    ok recent threads here have my thoughts reeling. so i thought i'd start this thread to ask nurses and others what uap is allowed to do at their respective facilities. [color=#483d8b]...

  15. What can unlicensed personnel do?

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    I understand. I do think it is so highly individualized though and that is part of the problem. If a policy comes out across the board setting scope of practice for a CNA for instance, there are...

  16. What can unlicensed personnel do?

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Yes we know :smackingf . Apparently some posts were pulled which explained this. The original username did not have 2B in it and was CHANGED. I have deleted my post which you quoted above. Now can we...

    Thank you for sharing that painful memory. And thank you too MadWife and P RN.. It affects so many people and it is astounding and sad. Hugs to all those who have suffered a loss or touched by this...

  19. Report time

    Cattitude replied to NPRoseMona's topic in General Nursing

    You're getting some good advice so far. I think it also depends on hospital policy also. When I worked bedside, it was not the RN's responsibility to make sure that consults were done. Dr's did that...

  20. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    Cattitude replied to jill48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ok, first, when an addict is using, they are not thinking of repercussions at all. So a nurse that is diverting will not be thinking of "what happens if I get caught", they are ruled by the disease...

  21. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    {{{{{{{{TriageRN}}}}}}}} What an awful few weeks you have gone through. The not knowing must be so very difficult for you. My heart goes out to you. I too know what it's like to lose a dear friend...

  22. Do you enjoy TV surgical/medical shows?

    Cattitude replied to MSJ2007's topic in General Nursing

    I love Grey's. I think House is the man. Scrubs is hysterical, the only sitcom I watch. ER is getting boring but I still watch, what can I say, been watching forever. Yes a lot of drama and...

  23. Suicide and its effects, it sucks!!!

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    Selfish--concerned with one's self. So you are right , they would NOT be thinking of their families pain. I think I said that. Selfish seems to have a negative connotation , AGAIN I am NOT putting...

  25. My awful Friday 13th--LOOOONG POST

    Cattitude replied to iamarn's topic in Home Health

    Ugh, we all have days I think like that. I hate when it happens on Fridays and Mondays.. I've not seen wound vacs on Apligrafts. I would think the site too delicate to have the
