    order

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to busy-bee's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Never had another nurse add to my orders, but residents were notorious for doing it. Now, after an order is written-I block out the rest of the order page so that no additional orders can be added to...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Toquay's topic in Emergency

    I suggest you look to the news forum to see how our President stated every American has access to medical care (free) by going to their local ER! Yes, this was a recent statement....good luck to all...

    It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Kenyohunt1, You are right, I don't know how it is to be a nurse of any other color than my tan, pinky self (no one is really white). However, if you read all my posts-my intention is to say that...

    Glucose Testing Question

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I do health screening too, are your patients fasting pre prandial when they are getting those slightly above normal numbers? Many times people are coming right after eating or recently eating and...

    Patients on Medicaid

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Harsh words Shaggyb. Just because someone is on assistance does not make them stupid. Many are in need and had "a normal existance" at one time in their lives, before needing a "hand". I am sure...

    blood glucose levels

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I know there has been a big push for BG control post surgery and on the cardiac floors. I was told it was proven that all patients have improved outcomes by keeping the blood sugar in the normal...

    Lazy doctors/nurses? What is going on?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to steffyjane's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, people don't always listen when a patient is reporting their illness and symptoms. Recently, I injured my ankle (sprain), however, the symptoms that resulted from me working on it...

    Wondering how others deal with RUDE patients, docs, colleagues?????

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the kill them with kindness theory, however, I am human and sometimes you want to tell needy, (don't belong in the ER) patients "too bad, wait, or NO!" If the ER is crazy, I try to...

    It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    It would be nice if all threads posted by one individual was read before subsequent answers are taken out of context and commented on by our esteemed colleagues. I guess that's part of the problem...

    Is it weird not to wear a scrub top?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Sassybottom's topic in General Nursing

    Some wear T's in my facility with a matching scrub jacket and pants. We have official golf shirts embroidered, and in many colors to go with scrub pants-very short, look good on the young nurses. I...

    I thought I'd heard them all.......

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    Work with lots of male nurses-so far, none has ever said they wanted to be a doctor. They are proud of what they do, and I feel blessed to work with such competent colleagues. They are also a load...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Dear SueSquatch, Since there are subscibers from all over the world-who knows this may apply elsewhere? We are all a product of our environment, and our familie's history. Why do some make it and...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Dear Vivicaq, Wish you could work in my environment...I think you'd see it how I do. Judge the person by their deeds not their skin color. I love my coworkers, and can honestly say they are very...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of people have been owned besides African Americans, it would depend on where in the world you would like to focus your attention. As far as other types of ownership, I believe women and...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    I must protest re: AA being the only ones owned, or having their lives hamstringed by the law. The Chinese, and Irish were treated less than valued as they did the dirtiest, most dangerous, and...

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    I waited to see where this post would head before I added to it. I am white, but was raised by parents who were liberal and thought people should be treated equally. Does that make my 73 year old...

    Patients on Medicaid

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to DiEd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe these patients are so used to poor care from clinics, grocery stores, pmds, secretaries, and others that they are programmed to react. I would imagine anyone who grew up with the superior...

    Do you ever get gifts from patients?

    MAISY, RN-ER replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in General Nursing

    It is against our facilities policy to accept gifts from a patient or his family for good care...this being said, I have had patient's families give me money, food, and presents. The presents were...
