    Customer Service?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ragtoprn's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Nevermind we had pt. gowns (at the time) that were so thin and so worn out that you could read fine print through them (and yes we complained, in writing, in person, repeatedly), but, hey,...

    Is this a reasonable/normal requirement???

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to charebec65's topic in Nursing Career

    Customer Service?

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to ragtoprn's topic in General Nursing

    I think "customer service" is a load of crap. I think it's BS to equate pt. care with 'customer service'. If i'm a pt. (and for the pt.) i expect better care than i'd get standing in line at the local...

    C-Section incisional pain

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I second this one. And it amazed/amazes me that i saw so many pts. when i was an aide, who had big abdomical incisions, and no one had taught them to 'splint' their abdomen when coughing, and they...

    Vaseline's Water Resistant lotion is great for me during the day. I can apply it and still turn a doorknob afterward. At night, it's the Equate version of A and D ointment, followed by cotton

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    (Sigh) the person quoted in your post was obviously refering to the schools that lie to people about what they will be able to do as an MA as "everything that an RN does except...", and not EVEN...

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to IsseyM's topic in Operating Room

    Gown size? We have one surgeon that technically fits in the Large size gown, but likes the bagginess of the XL, but most people wouldn't know this unless they've worked with him a few times. We also...

    Think I could get fired for this.....

    Marie_LPN, RN replied to luvmy2angels's topic in General Nursing
