    What nursing task do you loathe???

    Spidey's mom replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I am. Even so, changing it at its appointed times is tedious. Perfect word! Thank you. Just about kills my back leaning over for that

    What nursing task do you loathe???

    Spidey's mom replied to richardgecko's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with many of the ones already posted so I'll add one I haven't seen yet. I hate changing the opsite dressing over the central line of a hospice patient. I hate it because the RULES or P&P...

    I Hate People (my rant)

    Spidey's mom replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm the same way except I don't "hate" it but it does make me uncomfortable. My husband (and his father) . . .opposite. Everywhere they go, they met someone and talk and enjoy it. At church, my...

    Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    Spidey's mom replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    Infection control issues decide whether you wear a ring - also, a ring can tear gloves and scratch patients so I just don't wear my ring to work. You can lose it as well when you take the ring off to...

    Becoming a CNA?

    Spidey's mom replied to changr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This questions comes up regularly so sorry folks if some of you have heard my answer before. My mentor told me not to take the CNA class. The first part of nursing school you are basically learning...

    Engagement/Wedding Ring Question

    Spidey's mom replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Nursing

    I never wear my wedding ring to work. :) I have no idea what "morganite" is. Your best bet would be to ask the jeweler. I am not sure nurses are experts on jewelry but maybe there are some out...

    I Hate People (my rant)

    Spidey's mom replied to AlyaMF's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, it kinda is bashing the homeschooling choice. Just can't let that slide. I've been deeply involved in the homeschooling movement from way back in the 1990's and homeschooled my kids off and...

    The Elephant In The Room

    Spidey's mom replied to ru4real's topic in General Nursing

    The Alzheimers Dementia Unit where my mother resides has almost all black staff. CNA, LVN, RN. They are wonderful and I have no issues with my mom's care. I'm in California. My mom is in...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Spidey's mom replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I have come to appreciate you as well. See folks - people who used to spar can be friends. Heck, VivaLasVieja and I went back and forth when I first started here. Now I've met her in person a...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Spidey's mom replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I liked your entire post but just want to say that if a nurse was specifically asked to pray and had issues with that I have no problem with them saying no and finding a chaplain or other staff...

    Spidey's mom replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Hey now, I'm Spidey's mom and he DOES exist! Being respectful and being part of the group when people pray or just the nurse standing by the patient while the patient prays is fine. Being asked to...

    Spidey's mom replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in General Nursing

    At my local community college, we all graduated with Associate in Arts Degrees. We were not allowed to differentiate ourselves from the rest of the graduates. We all got AA Degrees. Some of us...

    Spidey's mom replied to RN_SummerSeas's topic in General Nursing

    That's what it is called here in California. My understanding has always been that an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN), also referred to as Associate in Nursing (AN) or Associate of Applied Science...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    Spidey's mom replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I'm a hospice nurse as well. We end up dealing with end-of-life spiritual issues maybe a bit more than normal. Part of the nursing assessment of any patient is a spiritual assessment. That doesn't...

    California Vaccine Bill Eliminates Personal Exemption

    Actually, your perspective is all over the mainstream media and is given equal time with the real evidence which is very frustrating. Your points have been debated and debunked numerous times. Your...

    Add me into the mix of not knowing who this is about. Or what thread. I don't have time to go search. I don't really want to either. I think the OP was right in not "outing" who this was

    Non nurses on AN

    Spidey's mom replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing comes under a very big umbrella . . . .. we could have the same complaints about a nurse whose specialty is CCU giving advise to the L&D nurse and vice versa and so on. I dunno - truly I...

    Spidey's mom replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't bother me unless it has to do specifically with nursing knowledge/skills. Even then, it can be a judgment call. I miss one poster who was funny and told great stories but wasn't a nurse -...
