  1. I think I'm being punished.

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The people you are training know, whether you say it or not, that you hate training them. As a new person, that would send me packing. I feel for you. Not everyone is cut out to teach, and if they...

  2. admission assessments

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to gigi77's topic in General Nursing

    So should we photograph every at risk patient's hind end and pressure points? I look all of my patients carefully on admission, and while they may not have had a sore when they come in, their skin is...

  3. Thank you room 88

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    I would so love to see a CNA or nurse care for me or my loved ones the way you care for your patients. What a sweet soul you are. That is what this profession is all about. We never know the...

  4. Dealing with smells...

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to lvmama's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I'll ever get used to cleaning poop, even after 4 years. It is just nasty. And maybe I'm feeling bitter from all the lactulose poo I've been wiping lately. That is the most horrible,...

  5. Things you'd like to say to your co-workers, but never would ....

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to SoundofMusic's topic in General Nursing

    Please speak English in pt. care areas and at the nurses station. It is incredibly rude not to do

  6. Quick to pass judgement??

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I have developed asthma in my adulthood, and have been dealing with it for a little over a year. A few months ago I had to actually go to the ER because my inhaler was not doing the trick. After...

  7. I want her fired!!!!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree! I can't believe how innocent and sheltered I used to be, and pt.'s and crazy people can smell that like a shark smells

  8. I want her fired!!!!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we just had a child of a pt., who NEVER comes to see dear old dad on his numerous admissions, show up and throw a hissy fit to see dad covered in bed sores (received at a SNF where, again, child...

  9. "Don't get too worked up about it"

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to JaneyW's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if this MD would get "worked up about it" if a PA or NP said "Hello Mr. Patient, I'm Dr. X." I'm just sayin.

  10. I want her fired!!!!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    How awful to be singled out like that in an area for everyone to witness. Only a piece of trash would call another human being that. I am so tired of the health care community brushing behavior like...

  11. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    That is a beautiful motto. I can totally appreciate

  12. It is me or them!!! I can't stand it anymore!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    A good CNA is worth her weight in gold. I love, love, love working with the CNA's who do their jobs

  13. You know you have a great job when.....

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    When your crazy little grandma pt. tells you, "I don't need no Son of a B medicine," and you tell her that isn't the kind you have and she considers it and it makes sense to her so she takes

  14. Prayers Please...

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to misslo's topic in General Nursing

    My prayers are also with you...may God's grace and peace surround you and your

  15. Peeves at work

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to november17's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it when a bed exit alarm is going off, and the techs at the desk pick-up the call light phone, when they can clearly tell it is a bed exit alarm, and say, "Can I help

  16. New and hoping for some advice!!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to a123688's topic in General Nursing

    I have been told all my life...you are so quiet. I was told that by almost every nursing instructor. It is just who I am. Nursing attracts a lot of strong personalities, and while I'm still a quiet...

  17. sharing bars of soap

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to jlucas341's topic in General Nursing

    When I took my CNA classes one of the nursing homes we went to REUSED shaving razors on the male patients. I was shocked beyond all reason, and this was at a "persnickety" nursing home where the...

  18. I need encouragement.....

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to charlottegirl's topic in General Nursing

    My mom had almost the exact same reaction when I said I wanted to go to nursing school. I was 28 at the time. She didn't think it would be a career fit for me. I forged ahead anyway, and she turned...

  19. California

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to allit4480's topic in General Nursing

    All I know about the Loma Linda area is that it is desert-y and hot in the summer, but California is a unique place to live in that you can find different scenery usually within a 2 hour drive. We...

  20. interested working in illinois

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to ces03's topic in General Nursing

    I can't answer all of your questions, but I know most US hospitals are willing to hire new grads. I work with nurses educated in the Philippines and other countries whose BSN degrees are valid here,...

  21. I can't figure this out!!!

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to misslo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Order: KCI elixer 30 mEq po bid Supply: liquid labeled 30 mEq/15 mL mL= 15mL/30 mEq x 30 mEq/mL = 15

  22. "You are getting very good care"

    Nurse_Hagatha replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sure the jackballs in administration think they are geniuses for that slogan, and feel really good about themselves as they sit at their desks in the morning and sip their coffee while it is still...
