    What Part Of Low Lights Minimal Stimulation Do You Not Understand!!!!

    TazziRN replied to sarahbellum's topic in General Nursing

    My brother was in ICU with a bleed. Visiting was only ten minutes every two hours, but because my parents were quiet the nurses were sweet about letting them in more often. I would save my visits for...

    Drug abuser coming back to work

    TazziRN replied to mamason's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who has been there, gonig back to work is almost harder than admitting a problem. I took a six-month leave to get clean and I knew that I would have to prove myself when I went back to...

    TazziRN replied to Word Perfect's topic in General Nursing

    Tutoring is one thing. Tutoring is fine. Your first post said that you write the papers. That's totally different. Just because a large group of students seek the writers, doesn't make it right....

    TazziRN replied to Word Perfect's topic in General Nursing

    It's cheating, plain and simple. Students are receiving grades for work they don't do, and that's not fair to the students who busted their patooties over their papers. It's the same as a child who's...

    TazziRN replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Do you mean impetigo? I've had both and I can tell you from a pt's view: herpes gives you a tingling, burning sensation as it's coming up. Impetigo itches and gets

    TazziRN replied to juliek391's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not allowed to talk about my day either. Hubs, DS, and DD spend the entire dinner hour talking about the store, but I just sit there and eat quietly. I thought I would have a compadre when DD...

    Needlestick- Post Exposure Prophylaxis

    TazziRN replied to PaynRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have had many needle sticks. Most of the time I elected not to take the meds, but only because the source pts were low risk. The few times when the source was high risk or unknown, I took no chances...

    I have a question about becoming a CNA

    TazziRN replied to singlemama's topic in General Nursing

    Most facilities prefer or even require nursing home experience first, so that would be a good way to start. As far as nursing classes, are you talking about going after your license later on? There is...

    Co-Workers Read My Medical Files

    TazziRN replied to nurse7272's topic in General Nursing

    I've seen employees fired instantly because of this. If you're not satisfied with how they're handling it (and I would not be), find out how to go about filing an official complaint with the...

    how do you relax outside work

    TazziRN replied to aussiemags's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I read a lot, and crochet afghans. I also cross stitch, but I haven't done that since Moocher was born 4 years ago. Too afraid she'll step on the needle or something. I love to cook.....no gourmet...

    Worried about telling people I'm in recovery

    TazziRN replied to lovelynurse123's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I am comfortable enough in my recovery that I almost don't care who knows. I do not advertise that I'm sober but I don't run from the subject, and with coworkers I am open about my story. To each...

    TazziRN replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    Bullets go to the police officer who will be waiting for it in our area. Never to path. Always to the police. The mentality here is "What do you want to send it to path for, so we can tell you it's a...

    Was I in the wrong here?

    TazziRN replied to locolorenzo22's topic in General Nursing

    You weren't wrong but I would have handled it differently. 62 isn't crashing but it is pretty low. I would have tried to find out when she was going to surgery, and if it wasn't for another day I...

    Malpractice/liability insurance.

    TazziRN replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Always remember one thing: a facility will tell you that in the event of a lawsuit, you would be represented by the facility's attornies. What they don't tell you is that if they can pin anything on...

    Nursing too gross for me?

    TazziRN replied to Pennfan's topic in General Nursing

    All of us have at least one thing that we have trouble with, but we get past it and deal with it to do our jobs. It's not for everybody, but if you really want it you will find a way around the yucky...
