   RosesAreBlue replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

   I've been wrote up for hugging a long-time friend's grandmother when she bacame a patient. I didn't see any sense in it. Nana would have been crushed if I simply ignored her calling me over for a hug. But then when a family member of another family h...

2. Need lots and lots of information on motivating patients

   RosesAreBlue replied to Confusion's topic in General Nursing

   hey dude, first of all congrats on admitting your a guy on here. A few guy nurses I know wouldn't have the balls.:monkeydance: But yeah, non-compliant and combative patients. There's not too much difference, but still enough. Non-compliant just mean...

   I've always liked working with Alzheimer's patients. They're just like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're getting next! :3

9. Agency Nurse doesn't know how to start IVs?

   RosesAreBlue replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

   Well, that is certainly...different. Agency nurses shouldn't be that limited. They move around alot, right? Why not train them to do basic things like that before they hit the floor? Then again...In CNA school, they didn't teach us how to do the ADL ...
