lady partsl ca that had destroyed so much tissue that she had one large cavernous opening that contained both her lady parts and her orifice. We couldn't tell where to put a foley so we just had to...
Its good that you recognize that your tone was inappropriate and you apologized. However, even after a sincere apology, it takes awile for the negativity you injected into the situation to clear. You...
The problem is that when you go off on others you cause them to be distressed which can affect their pt care. An upset, distracted nurse may not be able to provide their usual level of care. So while...
not sure which post you mean but understand what you mean. As a current Christian, I've seen tolerance and intolerance from Christians and non-Christians alike. I think it is just harder to take from...
Sorry I am so long in getting back to you, my email server is blocking allnurses But is giving them less information the answer? Experienced nurses who miss obvious signs were probably poorly taught...
Specific example of how he betrayed us please. I don't think the congress would have let him walk away if he had been found guilty of some actual treason (betrayal) of the American people. Just...
Someone once said (i'm sorry, i've forgotten who it was) that "If you take away every difference of race, religion, ethnicity, (and may I add sexual orientation) by noon we would think of a reason to...
Too feeble to take on anyone, Tom, just like to run my mouth and say what I think. P.S. Did he really betray us i.e. can you give a specific incidence of betrayal not just the fact that he is in...
My point is are you dealing w/ your dislike of alcoholics? B/c this whole thread is pointless if it does not lead to us becoming better nurses by dealing w/ our issues w/ other people. Good point...
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" We are all judged as sinners by God who, in His mercy, offers forgiveness to all. Many people of faith believe that religious rules are not...
B/c the words are so negatively charged. If we ever want to make progress toward a more understanding relationship among different groups, we have to have discussions like this, but we can't have them...
This thread is so enlightening! I wonder how many time I have offended someone unintentionally? I will try to remember not to say homosexual any more and I definitely won't use the other
Ok, this relic from a bygone era didn't realize people had moved on. I thought it was like when AAs call thmseves the "N" word; ok if they do it but not ok if a white does it b/c of the bigotry...
there was a post recently in which a company named group one acted as a credit reporting agency for hosp. but in reality they kept track of hosp. employees work record and had the power to get an...
Woody do you have a link to the article, I couldn't find it. It is so hard for me to understand how nurses can treat people badly based on their opinions of the pts lifestyle, color, or what ever. A...
I studied for a couple of months before I took it but I am older than you and had been out of school for 5 years, you may not need that long. BTW, I didn't go online and study for the written part and...
HM2Viking, Perhaps, if you would try to see the other side of an issue, you could see that conservatives aren't evil people trying to make other people suffer in order to keep up their standard of...

I'm not going to fault anyone for calling in sick. I'm just going to say that I've worked short when people have called in and, while I don't mind picking up the slack for a sick colleague, I sure...
I agree w/ you in part but I think even a new nurse should be able to recognize subtle signs that something is different w/ her patient and have enough knowledge to investigate further and consult...
I had a good working knowledge of pathophysiology when I left school so that when I saw something that deviated from the norm I could recognize it and and call the physician w/ pertinent info. I was...
That does seem a little excessive to me. I asked a couple of recent hires and they said all they were required to do was tb skin test, UDS, and either proof of heb b series or take the hep b
