  9. getting in trouble at work

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to jessiesita's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we have no idea what you did- if it was something that put pts at risk, I say anyone is right to tell. But if it was not, that's different. A lot of times, I've seen brand new nurses tattle on...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to celeste7767's topic in General Nursing

    celeste, Some of your comments are not politically correct, but I think they are 100% accurate. I agree totally. Due to all the reasons you described, we are having a resurgance of the "Sairy Gamp"...

  15. Ethics: Does it bother you when people are in nursing to make money?

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    I've looked into dental hygiene in order to get out of nursing. The problem is the mkt is saturated w/ RDHs in my area, just as it is w/ RNs. I can't believe someone would leave the better hours,...

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    We all need to be well compensated for what we do.. I do get annoyed, however, When I read posts that basically say: "I want the money/flexability/status/job secuity that being a nurse brings, but I...

  21. so frustrated with nursing diagnoses

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to birdgardner's topic in General Students

    Yes! That's how I learned that liver pts often need to have diarrhea- because of their ammonia levels. That's why they get Lactulose. I know not to hold the Lactulose and to not to give Immodium-...

  23. so frustrated with nursing diagnoses

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to birdgardner's topic in General Students

    And another thing-:) The reason that doesn't make sense is because a pt who is unhappy and worried about health is not coping ineffectivly. These feelings are normal and are in no way a sign of...

  24. so frustrated with nursing diagnoses

    Hellllllo Nurse replied to birdgardner's topic in General Students

    IMO, NDX and writing care plans are very important learning tools for student nurses. It's not the completed careplan itself that has value- it is the processes the student goes through in writing it...
