  1. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

    MoopleRN replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Bwahahahaha!!! I like the kind of poopie where the more you wipe, the more you get. And while I don't see it often, the sandy kind that leaves a fall-out like mexican jumping beans is ALways a real...

  2. Poop Free Nursing Jobs in the Hospital?

    MoopleRN replied to IcySageNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know a single nurse who "loves cleaning up poop" and no, you don't have to love it to be a good nurse. You're clear about your goal (becoming a nurse practitioner). You realize that more...

  3. Can I pull this off??????

    MoopleRN replied to RNmichaelJ's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why would they fire you? Are you or are you not a warm body?!? bwahaha!!! Welcome to the world of nursing aka the world of wondering if you're competent/experienced enough.... Ok, so you're...

  4. Is a slow code ethical?

    MoopleRN replied to blackvans1234's topic in General Nursing

    Grandma is a full code because of family. Grandma weighs 92 lbs and has a cardiac hx (not to mention CA/COPD/dementia etc...). Grandma codes. Staff responds and during CPR cracks Grandma's ribs,...

  5. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    MoopleRN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    Those SNF nurses are going to take care of more than your butt but if you're A&O x 3, why should they have to convince you if you really don't want to have that enema (which would prolly be a supp...

  6. The "Q" Word and Other Mysteries

    MoopleRN replied to Liddle Noodnik's topic in Nursing Humor

    I have often told (read hushed!) fellow nurses about the "Q" word, many of them seasoned. As soon as I correct them (open cheek, insert tongue), they stifle themselves (I love you, Edith Bunker) and...

  7. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    MoopleRN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    "the right to freedom from abuse, mistreatment and neglect" means we should never give demented Grandma even a bed bath because she refuses? We should let her lie in her own urine/feces, not...

  8. Book recommendation?

    MoopleRN replied to AMR21's topic in General Nursing

    Anything by Echo

  9. The right to refuse has so many interpretations

    MoopleRN replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Nursing

    What an interesting thread! So many important points mixed up with so many emotions topped off with facility procedures and followed by family needs that often take precedence over the...

  10. Has anyone ever reported SSI fraud on a patient?

    MoopleRN replied to Mommy2be's topic in General Nursing

    SSI fraud? Whaaaaaaat? Sliding Scale Insulin???????? Huh? Yes, It's late and I'm tired/waiting for the dryer to be done with the umpteenth load before bed... and I still don't understand how a...

  11. happy blame the nurses week

    MoopleRN replied to s-whnp's topic in General Nursing

    I see your point and I think most nurses smell what you're stepping in.... IOW, we do love being nurses/our jobs in spite of the shortcomings. As nurses, we do get moments with our...

  12. happy blame the nurses week

    Here Employed Nurse! Have a travel coffee mug!! Now get back to working short-staffed and don't forget to kiss everybody's butt with a smile and a "I have

  13. What to do if you disagree with the care of another nurse's pt?

    MoopleRN replied to Erythropoietin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's a tough one. The pt's primary nurse was contacting the PCP instead of calling a rapid response so obviously she was aware/dealing with the situation. I assume she has more experience than you...

  14. A nurses apologies

    MoopleRN replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    I understand the sentiment (at least I think I do) but I don't apologize for things beyond my control/when I haven't done wrong. I empathize, but I don't apologize. Perhaps I'm being nit picky.......

  15. Necrotizing Fasciitis

    MoopleRN replied to carl5480's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not aware of any alternative treatments. I think most surgeons try to be as conservative as possible for obvious reasons. I've only seen one case that involved a disposable razor... the patient's...

  17. medical assistant

    MoopleRN replied to mairyn90's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's telling that you're not wondering if it's rewarding/what you want to do with your life. The answer to your questions are probably a resounding NO since you voice no interest in the field other...

  18. Hospice Care

    MoopleRN replied to 280090's topic in General Nursing

    If the clock says I can give it according to the order I have, I'm going to give it based on the pt's/family's request, my nursing judgment. I would NEVER feel I'm giving "too much" and as a result...

  19. Can i still be a nurse if i am too emotional?

    MoopleRN replied to Moko5327benedict16's topic in General Nursing

    You found out your mom was "rushed to the hospital" on Facebook? That seems weird to me but whatevs... So you were crying about your mom and relate that to wondering if you're too emotional to be a...

  20. VS and when to tell your nurse

    MoopleRN posted a topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Please please please alert your nurse if you get a vital sign reading that is not within normal limits! Alert your nurse right away BEFORE it gets charted. S/he may want it redone by you or s/he may...

  22. Looking for a pick me up:/

    MoopleRN replied to kclpn2013's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that you care speaks volumes even though you haven't been specific at all re the "something happen at work". Was harm done to the patient? Skills that nurses need to safely care for their...

  23. Well, it is what it is. Just a revelation.

    MoopleRN replied to missladyrn's topic in General Nursing

    Quote from MoopleRN Ok! So you're stuck with it for now and you "need an exit strategy". How can we help you with that? Are you even asking for help with that? Is this just a vent or would you like...
