  1. concealed medicines?

    LPN1974 replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    Well, as I said before, I guess this is something I need to bring up with my DON. But this particular person I'm thinking of is NOT going to take her medication if I show it to her and ASK her if she...

  2. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    LPN1974 replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    No, Maam, it was NOT a ridiculous thing to take your baby in for a temp over 105. And that ridiculous nurse with the eye rolling problem needs to be taken down about 3 notches. I would report her in...

  3. 14 Hours: new TV Movie on 4/3/05, 8PM dealing w/ Hermann Hospital Flood & Evacuation

    LPN1974 replied to szccdw's topic in General Nursing

    I watched it. I thought it was kind of bland. It could have been better. The most exciting part was where the 3 nurses were in the basement and the water behind the doors. They made it look so...

  4. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    LPN1974 replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    That would have scared me to death. I don't think he was JW or a LDS. They usually always come in pairs. I would be willing to bet that man was intending to do you harm. Just goes to show we should...

  5. Delegating to UAP. How do you feel about it?

    LPN1974 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    I was wondering if you've ever had any patients refuse to have certain procedures performed by UAPs and how would you handle it if a patient did refuse and requested that a licensed nurse perform...

  6. concealed medicines?

    LPN1974 replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I know that a spoonful of pudding is okay, but I was really concerned about the sneaking up behind this person and putting it in her mouth. If she sees me with the medicine she starts saying,...

  7. Delegating to UAP. How do you feel about it?

    LPN1974 replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please don't judge everyone by what a few people do. You must also respect Americans and anyone else from any other country as individuals, because there are plenty who have the love the Christ in...

  9. Delegating to UAP. How do you feel about it?

    LPN1974 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, just what ARE the MDs doing? Laying on a beach somewhere? At my job, we have 2 G-tube feeders and one person had pulled his out so many times, we had to send him to the ER to get it replaced,...

  10. Delegating to UAP. How do you feel about it?

    LPN1974 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, that is very interesting. This is a year 2000 report...can we assume that this is still going on? I thought that they were going to try to do something about the nursing shortage, but I guess...

    LPN1974 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I haven't actually been put into the situation yet, and hopefully I won't be, but I don't like it. I think the whole thing stinks of beauracratic legislative major messups myself. I work in...

  13. Delegating to UAP. How do you feel about it?

    LPN1974 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Well, mostly what I know about is that in alot of states CNAs {Certified Nursing Assistants} are becoming med techs, meaning now they have taken a course sometimes just a couple of weeks long, in...

  15. New Nurse being thrown to the wolves IN LTC HELP!

    LPN1974 replied to Guest26407's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't know what state you are in, but where I am, I don't think there is a limit. I worked a LTC, part time for 2 years, and had up to around 40-45 patients for a med pass. And from what I've seen...

  16. concealed medicines?

    LPN1974 replied to FROGGYLEGS's topic in General Nursing

    I work in MR/DDS and I currently have 2 people who refuse meds that no matter what I do I can't get them to take it. One, if she refuses, she gets her Phenobarb in an injection, so I can take care...

    LPN1974 replied to Mermaid4's topic in Ob/Gyn

  18. What did someone do that you knew to get fired or kicked out of school?

    LPN1974 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    The posts about the makeup were a hoot. But I agree.....for MYself only, I look like a ghost without it. Now, if my job wants to buy it for me I would have no objection. I did have one co-worker...

  19. Troubleshooting PEG tube

    LPN1974 replied to gilliganracing's topic in General Nursing

    I experienced the same problem with some of my G-tubes in the NH I worked in. It seemed to me that the end of the G-tube, that was put in the patient while in the hospital, did not "fit" the end of...

    LPN1974 replied to bikeracer5313's topic in General Nursing

    That is weird. This man needs a reality check. I worked with a very difficult patient in LTC on the opposite end of the spectrum. He was a severe diabetic, on BS checks qid, and insulin,...
