  1. Does anyone else see a problem with this policy?

    woody62 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    There is no longer an ADA diet. The ADA stopped publishing a recommended diet back in the early 1990's. What they advised and what most Type 2 diabetics do, is depending on their daily activities,...

  2. Rapid Response Team for Families

    woody62 replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    When a family member calls a doctor or a hospital administrator, with a ridiculous complaint, don't you think the doctor or administrator has enough sense to realize that the complaint is warrentless?...

  3. nurse strikes

    woody62 replied to mistydave's topic in General Nursing

    Most hospitals are aware of when they are to be struck. Most state's Department of Health, send in monitors. Hospital's discharge all patient's home or to LCF, prior to the strike. They also close...

  4. boards need to regulate MA's

    woody62 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry but I do know the NPA of New York State, where I am licensed. And I also know the NPA of Florida, where I presently live.

  5. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    woody62 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    And I doubt that the number and variety of restaurants has decreased that much. I also still eat cheese sandwiches, just not every day, unlike those prisoners. I don't understand what they expect....

  6. incapable, helpless, unmotivated, unteachable pts who are unable to cope with life

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, you can't save everyone. But you can't give up just because of that.

  7. My 4 yr old son is newly dx with Leukemia ALL

    woody62 replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Nursing

    I am a grandmother of three, the youngest will be ten in October. I don't know what I would do in your situation. Just try taking one day at a time. And enjoying every minute of it. I will keep...

  8. Old timer wants to grow

    woody62 replied to garciadiego's topic in General Nursing

    Given the shortage of nurses, I don't think you would have a problem being hired. How about asking for a short term preceptor to assist you in updating your skills? And with the way acute hospitals...

  9. How do YOU feel about nurses striking?

    woody62 replied to LydiaGreen's topic in General Nursing

    I once found a nurse that graduated from Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York's School of Nursing down here. And the ortho that did my surgery, in January was a graduate of it's medical school and...

  10. boards need to regulate MA's

    woody62 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    Then my dear, like the MA who refers to her/himself as a nurse, you do not understand the duties of an Animal Control Officer. And you are using the incorrect title.. Animal Control Officers do much...

  11. boards need to regulate MA's

    woody62 replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    The one major difference I see between nurses and MA's, is that we are licensed. MA's are not. They work under a physician's license. If they work in a facility, they operate under the facilities...

  13. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    woody62 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    hey, i wear my t-shirt, every monday when i go out: color me the dirty, old, ugly and proud liberal. and considering i live right smack in the middle of a very blue state

  14. incapable, helpless, unmotivated, unteachable pts who are unable to cope with life

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is funny. It is all right to complain about the frequent flyers, or the family members or the patients that are too demanding. It is all right to complain about the patients who will not learn or...

  15. How do YOU feel about nurses striking?

    woody62 replied to LydiaGreen's topic in General Nursing

    During January of 1966 I was a junior at Elmhurst City Hospital, Queens, New York. Lindsey(?) was our new mayor and it was the first time that R.N.'s ever went out on strike. Their demands were...

  16. MPLS,MN 35W Bridge Collapse

    woody62 replied to sharona97's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    We all deserve each others kind thoughts. None of us have gone thru anything worse then what each other has gone thru. We all need each others prayers and thoughts.

  17. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    woody62 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    No, we shouldn't book them into suites at the Hilton. And yes, they are prisoners in jail but that doesn't mean that a sheriff has the right to humiliate them. Or house them in tents. Have you ever...

  18. MPLS,MN 35W Bridge Collapse

    woody62 replied to sharona97's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I don't live anywhere near where it happened. But back in the 80's I drove over that bridge when I was in your part of the country to testify at a court hearing. I had taken a short nap when I half...

  19. Are accelerated programs fair?

    woody62 replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    The programs I am familiar with require a high degree of motivation, an ability to learn and work independently and a large number of students just can't do it. The three programs of generic BSN's I...

  20. Saline soaks in wound care. Sacred cow? More harmful then good?

    woody62 replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Leslie. And even if the discharge did not have a foul odor, the black tissue is an indication of dead tissue. And a choice breeding ground for an infection. If her doctor will not see...

  21. Calling yourself a "nurse"

    woody62 replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Nursing

    Not really. There is a sheriff, in the county Phoenix is in, who dyes the inmates underwear pink, claiming they were stealing him blind when they were white. Who brags about feeding them on less...

  22. incapable, helpless, unmotivated, unteachable pts who are unable to cope with life

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    You assumptions are one of the reason's I hesitated to make the comments I did. You assume that I am still angry and bitter, when you are so far from the truth. I wasn't attacking OP, far from it....

  23. incapable, helpless, unmotivated, unteachable pts who are unable to cope with life

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why didn't you report these situations to the appropriate authorities? The elderly couple with the twenty cats could have been reported to their local animal control department and the Office of...

  24. Professional courtesy from police at traffic stops

    woody62 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I haven't gotten a speeding ticket since 1983. I have been pulled over several times, along with a lot of other people but haven't received a ticket. But if I am stopped, I hand over my...

  25. Saline soaks in wound care. Sacred cow? More harmful then good?

    woody62 replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    Wet to dry always seemed to work, althought they were painful to the patient upon removal. By the way, do you work at Erlanger Downtown?
