    This MD culture

    Duranie replied to darren_callcareer18's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, anything the doctor told the supervisor would need to be charted by the supervisor, whether it be new or additional orders, or even if all the doc says is “noted”, or whatever.... The point...

    Duranie replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    RaDonda Vaught's Arraignment - Guilty or Not of Reckless Homicide and Patient Abuse?

    Duranie replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Nursing News

    Recklessness and mindlessness go hand-in-hand, though. I’d like to present a hypothetical situation: Let’s imagine, that like most people, I have a thousand things I need to do on what is a...

    I quite agree. I was in the Seattle area near Easter and there were posters around advertising a community "Easter Egg hunt" activity in a local park. I lived there for >1 year surrounding the...

    Are We Too PC?

    Duranie replied to traumaRUs's topic in General Nursing

    At the time this song was first released there was no such thing as a "roofie".... you could "slip someone a mickey" (a.k.a. choral hydrate)... Of course, that did make them sleepy, although...

    Force to change unit in the middle of shift

    Duranie replied to Anon143's topic in General Nursing

    Employees shouldn't be shy about requesting that someone from security escort them to their car. If multiple people are leaving and all are parked in the same lot, then security might ask that you...

    Did this patient overreact?!

    Duranie replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

    I really hope you didn't say that! Used to having it all hang out?! Are you kidding me? Do you think prostitutes can't be raped, either? That someone dressed provocatively is asking for it? You had no...

    Duranie replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    Duranie replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    More often than not, they are simply *devoid* of common sense. Can't use what you don't have. And no, you aren't mean... I was the same way.... i once told my son: "I'm sure your teacher doesn't...

    Vomit Emergency

    Duranie replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    I think there are some kids (and adults) who just have weak esophageal sphincters. I would bet most of these kids had some pretty severe reflux as infants. When they vomit, it's rarely associated...

    Vomit Emergency

    Duranie replied to BunnyBunnyBSNRN's topic in School

    All of them? And do what? Magically match the puke to the right kid? If you *really* think a kid has puked... don't.send.them.to.school. Period. If you have multiple kids, and a mystery puddle of...

    Random Lice talk!!!

    Duranie replied to T-ROD's topic in School

    Ya know.... if it's my kid, I'm not gonna dig thru their hair trying to prove they *don't* have lice.... I'm just gonna break out the Rid, or Nix, or whatever and take care of business. (That is if I...

    Duranie replied to twahls65's topic in Pediatric

    None of my 4 boys had to disrobe past the age of 3-4.... basically from school age on, they only had to "show" the body part that had the cc. For physicals, they stayed dressed. After the bulk of the...

    What do you do when your instructors are useless?

    Duranie replied to Lpn2014's topic in LPN to RN

    If you are allowed to retake this course and then move along... seems simple enough, Get a tutor and retake it. But....... You may want to look at what the alternate program actually entails-- What...

    Religion & Ectopic Abortion

    Duranie replied to Happy.Nurselet's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This.... 1000x this, FBT. A theologian's view, put forth to an ethics board, does not create a doctrinal mandate. There are a great many Catholic Ethics committees/boards which operate at a local or...

    Interview..what to do?

    Duranie replied to Toaster2k18's topic in General Nursing

    That is a pretty long vacation. As far as a start date, I'd just tell them a date that is after you come back. If you were only gonna be gone for a week or so, that'd be one thing... but I don't...

    Duranie replied to LikeTheDeadSea's topic in School

    When making out next year's budget, maybe you could add (sneak )in a case of the mesh "undies" like they have in l&d.... they start really tiny and then strangely stretch to fit "chubby mummies"...

    Sensitive topic--Pertussis

    Duranie replied to ERschoolRN's topic in School

    It seemed like a big part of what caused the never-ending mess in my district, was that turnaround on testing was so s-l-o-w.... And of course, all of a sudden no hcp's wanted to treat empirically...
