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

    Cattitude replied to Cattitude's topic in General Nursing

    That's because it is very normal for a relative of someone who committed suicide to feel anger at them for doing it. It is an act that brings out anger and frustration. It's also difficult for most...

  2. Do I let her know about my brother??

    Cattitude replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    1. I hear ya Tazzi. I keep forgetting all of us have such different personalities;) . See, I have such a big, blunt mouth and would have spoken up right then and there, no doubt about it. But other...

  3. Do I let her know about my brother??

    Cattitude replied to zumalong's topic in General Nursing

    No flaming here, I agree with everything you said. I know that I am so far from perfect it's not funny. Most of us have made mistakes at one tiem or another and yes even put our foots in our mouths....

  4. Home Health agencies paying nurses per visit

    Cattitude replied to AnnemRN's topic in Home Health

    See thats BS, if you are case managing then you do need office time. When I did Fee for sevice visits (same as pay per visit), I sa the pt, did the care and that was that. I just worked Saturdays...

  5. The meeting went awful, I'm job hunting

    Cattitude replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Home Health

    This really stinks and I'm sorry you have to go thru this crapola. They are blaming the whole mess on that one nurse and she did have something to do with it BUT, she cannot be the entire reason for...

  6. Where were u 9/11/01?

    Cattitude replied to k_cole21's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen this thread before. Well... I was at a Dr's appt. and I came out after into the waiting room and a whole lot of people were crowded around the TV. I couldn't believe it. I raced home...

  7. Patient LOAD anyone?

    Cattitude replied to Pheobe05's topic in General Nursing

    When I did m/s on a good night I'd have 6-7. Bad night 10-11. Thankfully, more good nights then

  8. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If it has become generic it's because people like that MA are using it falsely. When people stop lying about the fact that they are a nurse, the term won't be so generic anymore! And I would hope...

  9. ethical dilemma....nurse lied.

    Cattitude replied to snowflake123's topic in General Nursing

    I may end up eating my words but I doubt we'll hear from her again. I hope she ends up ok with whatever decision she

  10. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    UGH!!!! No one here is disputing the fact that the public needs to be educated for goodness sake. We have known this for a LONG time! That issue is not what we were disputing. It was with the MA...

  11. What else is there?

    Cattitude replied to Can't Wait's topic in General Nursing

  12. What to do in a code situation

    Cattitude replied to ladydame's topic in General Nursing

    The lead nurse needs to chart on the code. there needs to be a detailed record of what meds were given and what happened. It doesn't have to be lengthy just include the facts. For goodness sake do we...

  13. How does your facility define "Lateness to work"

    Cattitude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    oh my. but this is how they are growing up for some reason. and then they end up in the workforce and when a supvr. like smilingblueyes calls them on their behavior they act completely shocked. co...

  14. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yea I know! I don't think I would want THEM drawing my blood . Seriously , how ignorant can you be? Oh here's graduation, here's your certificate that says Medical Assistant but your a nurse???...

  15. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Please read the above... She stated she was, then when she saw the OP was going to NURSING school changed her tune. She knew. I'm done!:deadhorse

  16. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Again, I don't care what the proper definition of a nurse is. I know and everyone else knows that when someone says "I'm a nurse", they MEAN RN or LPN. When someone tells me they are a nurse, they...

  17. Do nurses only "eat their young" in certain departments?

    Cattitude replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    A. New nurses do not need to be treated like patients. Apples and oranges there. I think most of us do treat newbs with support but I doubt we have the time to "help them develop that necessary...

  18. ethical dilemma....nurse lied.

    Cattitude replied to snowflake123's topic in General Nursing

    This is really tough. On one hand the preceptor put you in a really bad position. So many things could go right and wrong with either decision. This preceptor is definitely wrong and if you say...

  19. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think most nurses here could give a hoot what google says a nurse is. We know what our education means to US. Yes many of us are sensitive about people calling themselves nurses when they are...

  20. IPODs

    Cattitude replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Tazzi! This is the 2nd post I have seen on the internet where someone is irritated by Bluetooth earpieces. I just got mine and love it. I get a lot of calls during my work day and it would...

  21. How does your facility define "Lateness to work"

    Cattitude replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I too say thanks. In my position now, I don't have a relief waiting for me so if i start out a little later well that just means I stay out a little later. When i worked bedside though or in a...

  22. Ummm..not sure how to ask this but who has experience "digging out" a patient?

    Cattitude replied to LucyLu's topic in General Nursing

    And be very careful with anyone with a cardiac hx or even those over the age of 55 or 60. I swear my first code was because me and another nurse disimpacted her earlier that

  24. "Customer service" and nursing

    Cattitude replied to LilPeanut's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    DuskTilDawn~~~~ Thank you for taking the time to quote all that. Sometimes people that have never experienced the wrath of families simply cannot understand. You made perfect sense. Frustrated,...

  25. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cattitude replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think BG checks are fine as they are much less invasive than a foley insertion. I think I'll start a new thread on this very
