  1. "Take down" in LTC?????

    beautifulb replied to NurseyTee's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Awful, awful, awful. How can this nurse do that? She is dangerous. If she came back (which she shouldn't) I would not work with her. If you have seen her do this malicious stuff then I am sure...

  2. Ever have one of your patients threaten to sue? Scared!

    beautifulb replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    I feel that sometimes pt's will throw that "S" word in for a control issue. I used to be nervous each time I heard that word. In the past I would be searching the mail looking for a letter from some...

  3. Wearing white

    beautifulb replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    I think I should consider a bib too! No doubt whenever I wear white I end up getting something on it. Whether it's coffee, a pen exploding, pasta sauce ~ anything. I think I would feel too...

    beautifulb replied to lorster's topic in General Nursing

  5. Mourning my job, need a hug

    beautifulb replied to NurseEcho's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry about your job. Even though it was a hard decision, you did the right thing. Nights isn't for everyone and it does wreak havoc on some people. Is it possible to go on a waiting list...

  6. IV's- nursing or medical decision?

    beautifulb replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Has anything happened, besides a delay in treatment, because the pt. didn't have a lock? It's too bad because you know what needs to be done to help the pt but per her "personal protocol" you have...

    beautifulb replied to greatshakes's topic in International Nursing

  10. Pet peeves!

    beautifulb replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    This is just a little pet peeve but it really bugs me when I am listening to someones anterior lung sounds and they breathe heavey on my face. Please, just turn your head the opposite way....

  11. The 1st Time You Cried on the Job

    beautifulb replied to Eilana's topic in General Nursing

    I had always wanted to be a pedi nurse since I was a young girl. I finally got my wish and I had just started orientation at a children's rehab. It was really hard because the children that were...

  12. I'm new and curious?

    beautifulb replied to mridaho's topic in Travel

    I would take at least a year of med surg. Many travel companies require at least a year of med surg. With travel nursing you will most likely get one shift orientation and after that you are on your...

  13. Need advice...life threatened by pt's family today

    beautifulb replied to SotaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why this crazy man wants to shoot you. I think that everything you did was the right thing in calling the police, etc. As to what are your rights as a nurse, I don't know if you...

    beautifulb replied to danigirl58's topic in General Nursing

  15. Once a nurse, it is in you!

    beautifulb replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you to all of you. What you guys did is extremely wonderful and kind-hearted. It makes me happy that there are people out there that love animals and do their best by them and especially...

  16. Inventions we'd love to see....

    beautifulb replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    How about a light CPM

  17. Why are others nurses rude to agency nurses?

    beautifulb replied to doodles's topic in Agency Nurses

    Some of the best nurses I have worked with have been agency nurses or "traveler's" if you will. Then again, I am biased ~ having been a travel nurse myself for a number of years. Personally, no one...

  18. Favorite Wrist Watch?

    beautifulb replied to tanner523's topic in General Students

    As other posters have said, I have a Fossil watch. Water resistant, full clock ( I don't know how to describe it~all the numbers are on instead of 12-3-6-9. Does that make sense?), numbers are...

  19. Delegating bedmaking, bedpans . . .

    beautifulb replied to pancake's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I feel that these are the tasks that we may never give up. Of course there are places in nursing where you won't need to do these things however if you work hands-on pt. care it is kind of...

  20. As a patient, do you disclose your qualifications?

    beautifulb replied to lisalau's topic in General Nursing

    I am actually kind of going through that right now. I don't know if I should tell my son's pediatrician and staff that I am a nurse. As of now, I have chosen not to tell them because I feel that it...

  21. Need help. Starting to doubt myself. Almost HATE nursing now....

    beautifulb replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with mommy4_3. You know what you want. You have tried real, real hard to get where you are now. And a lot has been on your plate. I do know that instructrors can be real trying but you...

  22. How many Nurse jobs have you had?

    beautifulb replied to johnson0424's topic in General Nursing

    I have been a nurse for almost 12 yrs. Total number of jobs have been nine. While I was a travel nurse I worked 6 out of those 9. The sixth one I picked up as a permanent position and I have been...

  23. Accutane

    beautifulb replied to BGgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I would be cautious taking it during your childbearing years. I am almost postive that it is a category X. As for Accutane staying in your system for 8 years, I am not really

  24. How do you deal w this?

    beautifulb replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Well it's kind of hard. We are in between a rock and a hard place. As nurses, we aren't supposed to give results of lab tests, etc, and reasons for things that you describe. It is hard, I would...

  25. Help with mental illness topic

    beautifulb replied to afarru's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe multiple personality? That always fascinates me. It's interesting though, there are quite a few people that don't believe in that
