    TazziRN replied to hollyberry678's topic in General Nursing

    It took guts to stand up to her, and I think you did it in a wonderful way. People who get defensive know, deep inside, that the other person is right, they're just not in a place to admit it yet....

    Do I have the right to be upset?

    TazziRN replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Nurses Recovery

    What's happening to you is common to people who get sober: they change and the people around them don't. It's not a bad thing, it just happens. What you need to do now is some serious thinking about...

    ridiculing and grooming (and nailpolish)

    TazziRN replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    This will be the first time I agree with one of Ginger's posts, but I think what she's saying here is that for THIS pt, there is no medical reason to remove his beard. If a beard is shaved off of...

    You can help me when you have time

    TazziRN replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    It would have upset me, and I would have said "An incontinent pt takes priority over VS. I need your help and will meet you there in 2 minutes." If she didn't show up, or gave any more lip, the unit...

    First needlestick :( :(

    TazziRN replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the club, my dear. Yes, it's scary but most needlesticks cause no problems. I have had many over the years, to the point where I just do what I have to do and resolve not to worry about it...

    Family members that work your nerves!!!

    TazziRN replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't much matter if he had the wife's permission or not, you do NOT strip a pt down when others are in the room, unless the pt is coding. Even then you try not

    Diversion- what are we missing?

    TazziRN replied to happynursy74's topic in General Nursing

    When I applied to graduate I didn't read the instructions carefully. I was supposed to supply character reference letters and didn't see the part about them being on letterhead. I was accused of...

    No wasn't asking for diagnosis for piercing sharp pain

    TazziRN replied to IsseyM's topic in General Nursing

    Here's a likely answer that would be a problem: "Yes, I've had this before and my doctor said it was --------." You relax because you think it might be the same, and you end up in trouble or dead...

    Diversion- what are we missing?

    TazziRN replied to happynursy74's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, CA does have a diversion program. It is sanctioned by the BON and if completed successfully results in NO record of report or participation. Is it a good one? I don't think so. I...

    TazziRN replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    She gets wonderful care. I drop her off in the morning and she sails on in, I don't even get a "Bye, Mama!". She's licensed and popular, and has the longest waiting list in town. She came to Moocher's...

    Family members that work your nerves!!!

    TazziRN replied to BluntForceTrauma's topic in General Nursing

    No, you're not overreacting. That was totally inappropriate and you would have been within your rights to have him escorted out. Asking questions to test you was out of line, the rest was totally...

    Daycare when you have a 12 hr shift?

    TazziRN replied to CNAinNeb's topic in General Nursing

    I've been SO lucky! Our daycare is willing to provide 24-hour care for parents that have to go out of town, and I can take Moocher over as early as I need to in the morning. She will be kept until...

    Beligerent HCA

    TazziRN replied to Scrabbler's topic in General Nursing

    What's wrong with just how you said it here? No joking. Don't be surprised if it doesn't work, because the HCA it will be aimed at does not see herself doing anything wrong, but it's worth a
