  1. "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    kakamegamama replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, yes....my dear sweet late husband was an accountant/CPA. My dear, sweet current husband is an.....engineer. Both were/have been/are, ahem, challenging at times.....one reason why I leave the...

  2. Long hair at the bedside

    kakamegamama posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question. Have things changed in hospitals at the bedside to the point that nurses who have waist length hair are no longer required to have it in a pony tail or braid or bun? A few weeks...

  3. Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    kakamegamama replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would benefit you more if you discussed this with your wife, unemotionally, and tried to get inside her head to understand what is really going on for her. Good

  4. Called In because my coworkers are complaining about me

    kakamegamama replied to nursinghopeful23's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    How horrible! I wonder if this is the same one I encountered. I hope you are doing better now, and sorry you experienced

  5. Called In because my coworkers are complaining about me

    kakamegamama replied to nursinghopeful23's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sorry you're going through this. I know what it feels like as I was once told that my colleagues were very dissatisfied with my work. So, I went to them and asked if they could tell me the...

  6. talking to the cops about my patient

    kakamegamama replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Read your facility's policy for HIPAA and reporting to law

  7. Family Asks Me About Clinicals

    kakamegamama replied to AlmostThere19's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    What Sour Lemon said. If you say anything, remember you can't name the patient, discuss the condition, anything that would identify the patient. So really, you can't say much at all. But be SURE to...

  8. Possible to take traditional BSN?

    kakamegamama replied to LizardNurse's topic in General Students

    Should be possible. The best place to start is with the BSN programs in your area and ask what is

  9. HIPAA violation?

    kakamegamama replied to sunnyskies9's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Your husband's aunt isn't a family member? Hmmm..... Anyway, as the previous poster stated, unless you are caring for her, you should not be in her chart. And, do not discuss her situation with...

  10. HIPAA violation?

    kakamegamama replied to sunnyskies9's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    First, was she your patient? From reading your statement, it seems that she was? Let her be the one to decide what you can and cannot discuss with other family members. I would think that if Aunt...

  11. The life or death squatty potty

    kakamegamama replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm....this squatty potty isn't like the squatty potties I've used in my travels, which have gone by the name "cho", "toilet" (and, I use that term loosely) and "out house". I don't think one has...

  12. Could I pass?

    kakamegamama replied to haleylayne12's topic in General Students

    Have you considered focusing your time on your courses vs ATI, etc? THAT info is what you need to pass your course tests. Ask for an appointment with your instructor to discuss your exam taking...

  13. Should I work tomorrow?

    kakamegamama replied to amyn87's topic in General Nursing

    If you were one of the ICU patients, what would you want the nurse with your symptoms to do? And, we can't give medical advice here. Hope you feel better

  14. Is this discrimination?

    kakamegamama replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    I am aware of that. Most of the countries I've traveled to/worked in have more than one language that the nationals speak, but English is usually not one of them, and they expect me to learn at least...

  15. Is this discrimination?

    kakamegamama replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    Unless they are working with the written chart? Then, can they please be called translators? (Sorry---I couldn't resist.) Seriously though, good point. I will say though, and it probably doesn't...

  16. Please help!

    kakamegamama replied to KrisCris's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OP---and, learn to not wait until the last minute for us to help you out. And, yes, I know you are probably overwhelmed with all of your courses/maybe clinicals/life, etc. However, expecting people...

  17. Is this discrimination?

    kakamegamama replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    The trouble is that it takes time to learn a new language. You don't just pick it up in 5 minutes. How well I know that. My point is, if we live in a foreign country that does not speak our heart...

  18. As a RN, which would you choose?

    kakamegamama replied to GenieToBe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure to whom you are replying. Here is an interesting article regarding sequelae of CPR, if anyone is interested. Long Term Effects Of Surviving A Cardiac Arrest - Horizon Research Horizon...

  19. As a RN, which would you choose?

    kakamegamama replied to GenieToBe's topic in General Nursing

    When my time comes, I'm not sure I want an option. My first husband always told me to not allow him to survive long enough to be vented, should he appear to die. Well, after my CPR, and full...

  20. Is this discrimination?

    kakamegamama replied to eacue10's topic in General Nursing

    The most disheartening thing I hear is when people say your in America learn English. That has to be the most ignorant comment I've ever heard. I guess racism is alive and well. Well, it is expected...

  21. Question about NP

    kakamegamama replied to iheartnursing91's topic in General Nursing

    Why do YOU want to be an NP? That's the place to start. Have you check UMass Boston's online program? Or, Texas Woman's

  22. Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    kakamegamama replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    We would all do well to follow you. Congratulations on your sobriety. One day at a time, and perhaps, less than that at a

  23. RN tipping Botox

    kakamegamama replied to BecksRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe if it were a colorful bird it would be okay, Davey Do? It's interesting to me that a PP's state board doesn't view being a nurse in a botox clinic as nursing. I wonder where else is not...

  24. hopeful future nurse, advice needed!

    kakamegamama replied to RissLilly94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are talking about working during clinicals, that might be a challenge if your job was shift work, late, right before a clinical. I had students and currently have students, who do work...both...

  25. Best path to becoming a FNP

    kakamegamama replied to Fourfecta's topic in General Nursing

    You should not use your real name. Also, be sure to spell check for your blog. it is "HIPAA", not "HIPPA", and, "then", not "than". Be careful posting about testing as you will be in violation of...
