  1. Where have all the experienced nurses gone?

    kadokin replied to mharrah's topic in Medical-Surgical

    So sorry to hear that. I wish you well in your future endeavors. Maybe you need a REAL change of scenery. Try something completely different. You may like

  2. "What do you need Christmas off for? You don't have kids!" (rant)

    kadokin replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't it just. And, you know, there are some people who will NEVER be happy, no matter what you do for them. It's just too

    WHOA! That is uncanny. We just admitted a pt today in a severe psychotic state that is a kidney transplant pt. Tell me more. It could help us take care of this individual.

    Although I am a psych nurse, I don't deal w/a lot of axis II stuff. I work in an inpatient acute care, and while we SEE axis II, we rarely bother to dx or treat it, insurance co's don't pay for that...

    His "eyes changed color"? Are you sure? Was he maybe one of those people whose eyes change color if their shirt or the paint on the wall behind them is a different color? Did YOU notice his eyes...

  6. Mommie Dearest

    kadokin replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes, all three, w/a liberal dose of substance abuse for good measure. And she WAS ALLOWED TO ADOPT. Scary, no? What money can be in this (and most other)

    Amen,

  10. How Do I Approach This?

    kadokin replied to Meerkat's topic in Psychiatric

    Here's a thought, your co-workers need a lesson in compassion. Must confess I don't always use the best of language in report. (Sometimes clinical terms just FAIL to paint a picture of some of our...

  11. Irritating, but not dangerous...What to do?

    kadokin replied to kurlos's topic in Psychiatric

    Yes, heed this advice. The md may want to increase the meds. A pt w/this behavior is having big trouble distinguishing reality. Try to get their attention and explain to them, in concrete terms,...

    Uh, Yeah. Are you sure you want to be engaged to someone who already HAS a mother in

  14. Foul Speaking Nurse..............

    kadokin replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    i've alway liked this as a snappy response to blue language: "you eat with that mouth?", you make a good point here. if someone is cursing a blue streak, they are probably at peak stress and...

    Hello! That's what the md is getting paid for, isn't

  17. Was I wrong to refuse to help?

    kadokin replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Agree. WHY are there so many dysfuntional nurse managers out there? Here's my theory (if anyone cares): -the job is too big for one person -there are WAY too many issues to deal w/beyond the...

  19. Group One background checks in Texas

    kadokin replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Just curious, sonnyjohn. If you're not a nurse, what are you? I saw in your public profile that you hold the title of CST. What is that? Just for my own info. Would like to know what other...

  20. Back-handed compliments

    kadokin replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of thought that was the original OP's point. Wasn't there a comment in there that she and her friend "carried" themselves so much better than nurses? That doesn't say much for nurses as a...

  22. Back-handed compliments

    kadokin replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's too bad. Some people RREEAALLYY need to unclench and start enjoying things for what they are rather than looking for hidden meanings. And what's w/this door opening thing? Good grief.! I am...

  23. Back-handed compliments

    kadokin replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have never minded being called "kiddo". It seems like a term of endearment to me. In my experience, most people who call people "kiddo" call every one "kiddo" and it comes off as a friendly,...

  24. Back-handed compliments

    kadokin replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    We have a foreign-born Physician who serves the pts where I practice and he frequently refers to women who are far from young as "young lady". I have yet to see anyone take offense. It is almost a...
