    RN1982 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan Nursing

  3. CNA work Oakland or Macomb County

    RN1982 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Yeah, you're right. But everyone has a different interpretations. According to the OP, I took it the wrong way. The OP is probably right, I overreacted. But everyone interprets things

  4. CNA work Oakland or Macomb County

    RN1982 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan Nursing

    My patient care is not relevant in this discussion, so get off the cross. I'm human and the last time I checked, I wasn't aware that I had to remain in a professional capacity even outside of my job....

  5. TotalCare sport beds.

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in ICU and we sometimes have these Totalsport beds that do rotation therapy and also percussion and vibration for patients who need pulmonary toileting. I'm doing this online education for work...

  6. TotalCare sport beds.

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thats what I thought. How about the Opti-rest option. I put that on when I place my patient on their back. Does the opti-rest make the bed more of an air

  7. Refusal of Brain Death exam??

    RN1982 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Its very hard. I took care of a patient who coded while in labor. She had some perfusion to her brain and she had a herniation. Family didn't want to take her off the vent because even though she had...

  8. CNA work Oakland or Macomb County

    RN1982 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There are hiring freezes at a lot of the hospitals in Oakland County. And just because it's in Oakland or Macomb County means that it's "nice". I happen to work in Detroit at Henry Ford and I believe...

  9. I hate my life.....

    RN1982 replied to MrsIndependent's topic in General Nursing

  11. Refusal of Brain Death exam??

    RN1982 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure. I know that the patients usually go to nuc med to see if they still have perfusion to the brain. My patient was brain dead though, he had brain matter oozing from his wound. His heart...

  12. Can nurse ask family to wait outside while doing treatment

    RN1982 replied to muleboy's topic in General Nursing

    So after your rebuttal what did your manager say? I hope they backed you up. I had a patient's family member complain that I was rough with the patient. The patient's sister was in the room and I was...

  13. Can nurse ask family to wait outside while doing treatment

    RN1982 replied to muleboy's topic in General Nursing

    Make sure you document and you have copies of them. Things disappear especially if your DON doesn't back you

  14. Refusal of Brain Death exam??

    RN1982 replied to PICNICRN's topic in General Nursing

    Some people don't want to let go. I had a patient shot in the head and when we did the apnea test, some of the family members flipped out and thought we were withdrawing care. We explained what the...

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

  16. Recession Getting Worse

    RN1982 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah it does. Thats what I told my mom. It doesn't make sense to spend the money on closing costs if its just going to bring down my payment 100 bucks and I intend on selling

  17. Recession Getting Worse

    RN1982 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    The rates have dropped as low as 4.5. I have a conventional 30 yr mortgage. My current rate is 6.875. I think the prospective rate would be 5%. I'm waiting to hear back from the girl who wrote my...

  18. Nursing STUDENT doesn't mean NURSE!!!!

    RN1982 replied to chnc1024's topic in General Nursing

    You could say "Cousin, I know you are worried but when you are asking me things regarding your son's illness, you are asking the wrong person. You should be talking to his doctors and nurses. I have...

  19. Recession Getting Worse

    RN1982 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Troy. It's a condo. I have had a bit but no takers. I was offered 125k, 25k below what I'm asking. I can't take that kind of

  24. Nurses Are The Worst Family Members!

    RN1982 replied to ladynischeraRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Haldol is NOT contraindicated in the elderly. Haldol and Ativan use in the elderly should be monitored closely because the elderly are more sensitive to its affects. I think more so with Ativan. She...

    RN1982 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    And make sure you ask the nurses why they are not answering call-lights. They will give you some good reasons why. Sorry just feeling
