  2. Yes, another "MA calls self nurse" posting..sorry

    Dolce replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    Some people talk really big. I just have to roll my eyes and go on with my

  3. Verbal Abuse

    Dolce replied to hunnybaby24's topic in General Nursing

    I would consider threats, swearing, demeaning, screaming and yelling to be verbal abuse. However, there is a gray area of "bad parenting" between verbal abuse and disciplining a child....

  4. Medical Assistant, Medical Biller, CNA, which one do I choose?

    Dolce replied to quisquella22's topic in General Nursing

    In my opinion you shouldn't pursue medical assisting or medical biller/coder if you are looking to become a nurse in the future. The for-profit "colleges" that advertise on television make a big deal...

  5. Giving a gift to a patient??

    Dolce replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think what you did was very sweet. I think that gesture would give great comfort to the mom in that situation.

  6. when to report to the bne?

    Dolce replied to pkmom's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The first rule of conflict management is to always approach the individual first? Have you done that? Before you involve management (or the BON!) you need to speak with her about your concerns....

  7. Below 3.0 GPA and you still got in?

    Dolce replied to MsKaz's topic in General Nursing

    My college was pretty competitive--I'm quite sure no one got in with less than a 3.0. But, every place differs. Some colleges place more emphasis on pre-requisite courses, some on overall GPA. Some...

  9. worst night i have had in a long time

    Dolce replied to Morettia2's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. That was a long post. I bet you feel better getting it all off your chest. Hoping for better nights to come.

  10. Dealing with racist co-workers!

    Dolce replied to mytoon38's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There was a documentary on BBC2 a while back called, "Are you 100% English?" They interviewed and DNA tested a number of British people who claimed they could trace back their linage for x amount of...

  11. What is the pain med of choice?

    Dolce replied to hdhnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever patients do that I always wonder what drugs they have at

  12. Dealing with racist co-workers!

    Dolce replied to mytoon38's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This also drives me crazy! I cannot believe the uneducated comments that come out of my "professional" coworkers mouths. Racism crosses all ethnic boundaries. Just because a person is a member of...

  13. How to cope with a drug error - destroyed confidence

    Dolce replied to cloverfield's topic in Emergency

    Making a med error does cause a great deal of anxiety and stress afterwards. I made a relatively minor error last year (gave the wrong dose of hydrocodone to a patient). The patient began having...

  14. Nurse Tech:Assessment

    Dolce replied to untamable07's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have worked in hospitals that hire nursing students as nurse techs. These techs actually take their own patient load and practice under the supervision of the charge nurse. They do their own...

    Dolce replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Oh

  16. nurse aide problems

    Dolce replied to anapoo's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow. I would call human resources to deal with these issues. She doesn't sound safe to be working on the floor with patients. If she is that inappropriate with nursing staff can you imagine what...

  17. Good side job for RN?

    Dolce replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    And I hear they have great benefits. I might be joining you

  18. has anyone been mandated to stay over their shift

    Dolce replied to rn-jane's topic in General Nursing

    Ooooh, this post just makes me see red. :angryfire There is absolutely no excuse for this. Hospitals that are this short staffed need to have some alternative or incentive to support their staffing...

  19. a patient who things she's in a hotel

    Dolce replied to uscstu4lfe's topic in General Nursing

    Its unfortunate that many abuse the healthcare system in this way. Yes, she may have legitimate pain, but is the hospital setting the best place to address it? If I were her physician I would not...

  20. Need an opinion...

    Dolce replied to L&Dnurse2Be's topic in General Nursing

    I have seen nurses delay a discharge because then they are first on the list for an

  22. NURSES & DOCTORS - to flirt or not to flirt

    Dolce replied to AnnaSL's topic in General Nursing

    And it plays right into the stereotype that all nurses are looking to marry a

  23. NURSES & DOCTORS - to flirt or not to flirt

    Dolce replied to AnnaSL's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work with a married physician who was about 20 years older than me who flirted with me all the time. He would even make sexual innuendos to me that weren't so subtle. I think he was...

  24. Silly question about what is considered a liquid

    Dolce replied to queenjean's topic in General Nursing

    I've never counted pudding as a liquid. Ice cream and jello, yes. Pudding,

  25. New Grad ER Vent

    Dolce replied to EMTSNA's topic in Emergency

    Very good post. I can't believe this hospital actually has nurses that stay in the ER. They are either all new grads or
