  1. I p****'ed off a coworker

    Scotty replied to BuffaloLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Clear the air. It's obviously bothering you so you can't forget it yet, even if you try. Let your co-worker know you feel bad about it, but explain why at the time you didn't sort the IV for him/her....

  2. GETTING WRITTEN UP: What is the most ridiculous thing you have been written up for?

    Scotty replied to greeneggsnham's topic in General Nursing

    Thankfully I no longer work in places where this crazy writing up occurs. We do have adverse occurrence reports, but they are supposed to be blame-free and to highlight problems and improve future...

  3. I need advice

    Scotty posted a topic in General Nursing

    10 hours ago my usually stoical husband complained of very sudden onset of the most severe headache he has ever had in his life. He does not usually get headaches, and has had none recently. He took...

    He's out of hospital now.

  5. I need advice

    Scotty replied to Scotty's topic in General Nursing

    He's still doing well. Thanks so much for your support. He thinks the staff in the hospital are wonderful and he's tickled pink that nurses from all over the world are wishing him

  6. I need advice

    Scotty replied to Scotty's topic in General Nursing

    He's had a Grade I subarachnoid haemorrhage. The CT showed a little blood, but the local hospital didn't see that, so he had a LP which showed a lot of blood. He's now been transferred to a...

  7. I need advice

    Scotty replied to Scotty's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much to all of you, Hubby saw three more docs, then the consultant said he should have a CT scan and a lumbar puncture in case it is a warning bleed - what I'm fearing (He smokes, he's 42,...

    Scotty replied to Scotty's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your replies guys. I am just trying to get him up because he is scared to move his head. I will let you know how I get

  9. bed making class?

    Scotty replied to twarlik's topic in General Students

    Todd, I thought the bedmaking class was patronising in the extreme...and I fully appreciate that I have to make beds. I make my patient's bed at least once a shift in the

  10. spooky spooky spooky

    Scotty replied to babynurselsa's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe in ghosts but..... 10 years ago on nightshift in a surgical ward a bath tub tap gushed water just seconds after I had checked bathroom lights were off etc. No-one could have got in or...

  11. Nurse Anaesthetists

    Scotty replied to jjjez's topic in International Nursing

    I wonder if you will get paid more than E Grade for that? It does sound like a great career option

  12. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    Scotty replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks guys. You're making me feel

  13. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    Scotty replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    Night Owl that was a rough one. I thought the whole point about incident reporting was that it should be about a blame free culture and reduction of clinical risk. I made a shocking error last night....

  14. Incident report filing....How do you do it?

    Scotty replied to Pete495's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on where I'm working and what the "incident" is. In some institutions I was certain that senior staff would use incident reports to threaten and bully the nurses. Once, against my better...

  15. How many of you married doctors?

    Scotty replied to JHUnurse's topic in General Nursing

    This certainly got everyone fired up. Maybe in another 40 years' time the perceptions of nurses as being after docs, or not bright enough to be docs, will be such a thing of the past that we won't...

  16. What Freaks You Out?

    Scotty replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm OK with most things and I have minimal sense of smell, otherwise I couldn't do this job. Once I forgot to put a glass eye in a patient who had died. It was not fun going over to the mortuary...
