  2. Demeaned by a Doctor

    ebear replied to chall2011's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't tolerate verbal abuse and will confront it head on. The last doc who thought he was going to take a chunk out of my behind got a very rude awakening. I simply said calmly and professionally...

  3. All nurses do is wipe butts

    ebear replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    It's obvious they're trying to get a "rise" out of you. Don't give them the pleasure. Just smile and say "Oh.

  6. My monthly semi-coherent rant on the state of healthcare

    ebear replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Nursing

    rngreenhorn, I don't know whether to laugh or cry! Your posts are right on target! It breaks my heart to see what "health care systems" have become but you have such an entertaining way of telling it...

    ebear replied to EDnursetobe's topic in General Nursing

  8. What are these called?

    ebear replied to michael79's topic in General Nursing

    "Bolsters" are wider flat types of things that sutures are threaded through at 4 points. Vessel loops are not hollow and cannot hold sutures in place like a "Bumper." I guess I can see where they...

    What field of nursing are you

  13. Please Help my narcotic situation

    ebear replied to AngelofLTC's topic in General Nursing

    The fracture can be repaired under spinal anesthesia (the majority are). I agree with the others. That is the only way the pain will be alleviated. Depending upon the type of fracture, the procedure...

  14. How to recognize all the equipment as a new OR nurse

    ebear replied to akasu's topic in Operating Room

    When I first started in the OR, I would dream about instruments every night! You will remember this stuff the more you work with it. It takes quite a while. Hang in there,akasu. Concentrate on one...

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Wow ...we have gotten WAY off the OP

  16. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the clarification, Nursing1980. I was wondering if I came off a little too

  17. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Nor do I like it when an MD tells a patient "I'll have MY nurse do"...... The majority of MDs who make these comments are older and once had their own practice to hire/fire staff however they saw fit....

  19. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    ...oh. I'm going to sleep after I get off my pedal stool. Just kidding, Ayorenee. I feel a flame about to be thrown in my direction.

  20. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I can assure you that your statement, explanations, etc. will not affect my sleep. Perhaps you need to examine your own defensiveness, Ayorenee. Good

  21. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Ayorenee, your statement says a lot. "I will never be that FNP who looks down on my nursing staff".... A). They are not YOUR staff B). Do you realize the underlying implication of that

  22. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

  23. All Those NPs with No Bedside Experience

    ebear replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    This entire thread leaves me empty. The basic question for me is: "IS ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE BRASS TACKS OF TAKING CARE OF PATIENTS ANYMORE?" Seems to be a contest of "my degree is higher/better...
