  1. Asking for referral to pain clinic: nervous.

    dcampbell posted a topic in Pain Management

    To make a long story short: I fell down a hill six months ago, hurt my lower back, left shoulder and neck. I have healed o.k. except for constant neck pain and left shoulder pain. After six months...

  2. Advice needed...how to survive the night shift commute...literally.

    dcampbell replied to NeoPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have read this whole thread and have resisted jumping in. Back in the 90's, a nurse I worked with had problems with driving home sleepy. She was a single mother with two children and worked...

  3. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    dcampbell replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

  4. "I am sorry - I refuse to float to Peds!"

    dcampbell replied to abbaking's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I am guessing you couldn't use as a defense (if something terrible happened) that you were floated to an unfamiliar unit. I am still amazed that hospitals are willing to expose their staff and...

  5. Breastfeeding support by HCPs

    dcampbell replied to mappers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    DebblesRN: Thank you so much for addressing the visitor situation. Really, that is the big problem that I see consistently. Number two would be lack of staffing/time. I wish I had a nickle for...

  6. Nurses, are you glad that Obamas Healthcare Bill Passed?

    dcampbell replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    If these problems occur (and I think they will), who will we complain to? We won't be able to complain to the government. Who regulates, oversees, or disciplines the federal

  7. Who does this stuff? Really, you can't make it up!

    dcampbell replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    So this pt will probably be going home soon? How will the family deal with her care at home? (When she falls because they get her up.) When she becomes injured at home/or needs to be readmitted due to...

  9. Who does this stuff? Really, you can't make it up!

    dcampbell replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    How about restraints for the family members! Geez! They are interferring with the pt's plan of care and with hospital policies, they need to

  10. Caring nurse turned Raging *****

    dcampbell replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    What good advice. How can you find a "good doctor" to get your tyroid checked? At the practice I go to I can't even get to see the doctor. They will only let you see PA's unless you are dying. The...

  11. Advice?My sons friend is acting strange.

    dcampbell replied to 1blue&1browneye's topic in General Nursing

  13. I'm a pregnant postpartum nurse . . .

    dcampbell replied to Rhee's topic in General Nursing

    You are right. You need to stay away from those boards. It will just drive you crazy. Those people usually don't know what they are talking about so you won't be able to change their minds. Besides,...

  14. The National Health Service - how do other countries provide care???

    dcampbell replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

    As JoPACURN mentioned, she/we who work in the US Health Care System, have many concerns about being sued. If our US Health Care System becomes run by the Government, where will patients go to complain...

  15. Dysfunctional Hospital - Terrible Ethical Situation

    dcampbell replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    I am not very familiar with "Safe Harbor". How could our OP have initiated it to help her on that shift? Would it have helped her and her pts. enough, and in a timely manner? How could she initiate it...

  16. Tylenol for newborn fever?

    dcampbell replied to faithful64's topic in Ob/Gyn

  17. if employers cant ask about children during an interview

    dcampbell replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    What if you have a "gap" in your resume due to taking time out to stay home and raise your children? Any employer will understandably ask about such a gap in employment. How should you

  19. Thoughts on escorting patients to smoke

    dcampbell replied to edchunt's topic in General Nursing

    Can a security guard escort and observe these pts smoking? Does the policy require that only a nurse can watch the pts smoking? If so, that is silly and can/should be changed. I say let them smoke....

  20. What to expect at my visit to pain management .

    dcampbell replied to dcampbell's topic in Pain Management

    dcampbell posted a topic in Pain Management

  22. What to expect at my visit to pain management .

    dcampbell replied to dcampbell's topic in Pain Management

    dcampbell replied to EMSnut45's topic in General Nursing

    1) So from many of the above threads, I am hearing that we should have 4WD vehicles? Some people cannot afford these type of vehicles, not to mention the extra gas required and the impact on the...

  25. Nurses/patient care/cell phones

    dcampbell replied to snuggles49's topic in General Nursing

    These phones can really be a bother. I think that they are another way for management to get out of hiring enough people. How many med errors occur because a nurse was distracted with the constant...
