  1. Stressing out!! Need some answers!! PLEASE HELP

    Vito Andolini replied to Hopeful8626's topic in General Nursing

    Neither one strikes me as terribly therapeutic. A seems to be avoiding emotions, B seems to assume it's been a short time. Find some

  2. Company loyalty meaningless?

    Vito Andolini replied to AprilW3's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried discussing this whole thing with the bosses, especially those who have known you the longest? Or, a rogue thought here - try asking the nurse who got the spot you want if she might be...

  3. Do it yourself chelation therapy

    Vito Andolini replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work for an MD who did IV chelation. I forget what for, can you believe that? He got decent results and was very careful, monitored with lab tests and physical exams throughout the course...

  4. Do undocumented aliens end up getting after receiving emergency care?

    Vito Andolini replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is, though, that they are so often on welfare, WIC, food stamps, disability, and get free or low rent, which you and I pay for via our state income taxes and our payroll withholding taxes....

  5. Close Call

    Vito Andolini posted a topic in General Nursing

    An aide asked the med nurse for some tylenol. Med nurse gave it. A few hours later, aide says she hadn''t taken the med but would do so before going to sleep. Why waiting? Tylenol makes her itchy...

  6. Let me be clear there is NO nursing shortage!!!!!!!!! and now THIS????

    Vito Andolini replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Stop crying, however sad you are (and rightly so). But stop crying and start writing to every Senator and Congressman, every newspaper, every group and organization that might be interested. Start...

  7. Dodo Birds We all Know and Work With

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    This constitutes med error, if you ask me, as some meds need to be given with regard to meals, right? Involve Management on this one so you don't wind up being faulted for errors you could not...

  8. Dodo Birds We all Know and Work With

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Believe it or not, when I was a student many moons ago, we were instructed to not wear gloves when working with colostomies. Why? Because the patient might feel rejected.

  9. Public Health in Ghana, per Obama

    Vito Andolini posted a topic in General Nursing

    So now the US is going to give $60 billion to Ghana for fighting malaria, polio, TB, HIV, and many other terrible illnesses. That sounds like an awful lot of money. Why us and why to them? Why not...

  10. Can they PLEASE stop calling her a nurse!!!

    Vito Andolini replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the attitude that a housekeeper is a lowly, unimportant being. Our housekeepers work so hard to keep us stocked with TP, hand towels, seat covers, and soap in the bathroom. They wash our...

  11. Can they PLEASE stop calling her a nurse!!!

    Vito Andolini replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Nursing

    He or she hands the instruments to the doctor during surgery. May also have duties in cleaning up the instruments after a case and certainly sets them up prior to the operation. Should never be...

  12. Public Health in Ghana, per Obama

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    There is a way - stop sending money. And let's not forget the corruption in America, too. Surely, it does exist. We are not entirely clean either, are

  13. Public Health in Ghana, per Obama

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    Probably so-called research and the last items you said. Cynical me.

  14. Public Health in Ghana, per Obama

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure we get something in exchange. What is it? What does Ghana have that we want? Minerals probably. Read Michael Crichton's "Congo". Fascinating and informative, pertinent to this discussion...

  15. Public Health in Ghana, per Obama

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    USA Today had an article on how those in a particular village in Mexico are suffering because their relatives who are working illegally in America are not sending them as much money as they used to,...

  16. Public Health in Ghana, per Obama

    Vito Andolini replied to Vito Andolini's topic in General Nursing

    I think that much money is not just a drop in a bucket anywhere, here or abroad. it is a huge amount of money and don't forget whose money it is - yours and mine. The workers of America supposedly...

  17. So Embarassed

    Vito Andolini replied to Nurse2b123's topic in General Nursing

    Simethicone absorbs gas. Was your food possibly spoiled? I have had terrible gas pains today, so can relate, but think I ate some questionable food

  18. how many would not continue on to nursing school if..

    Vito Andolini replied to thekid's topic in General Nursing

    I was a volunteer as a young person but still had no real idea what nursing was about. I don't know how to answer you. But I do wish you all the best with this tough

  19. Why Do Nurses Write: "no new orders received"?

    Vito Andolini replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    How does it cover you to say "repeated and verified"? The doc can still deny the whole thing. I think VO's and TO's should absolutely never be taken except in a dire emergency. Whenever a VO or TO...

  20. Why Do Nurses Write: "no new orders received"?

    Vito Andolini replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    if you write "no ...indicated...", you make it sound like you think no action is indicated. that's not what you want to convey, is it? also, in a general response to the op and others, i see no...

  21. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    Vito Andolini replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    5th of july or christmas day, up too late last night or house burned down - do you think your boss would let you be sullen and unfriendly to the patients/parents? i can't count the # of times i've...

  22. Just Venting: PCA with an Attitude!

    Vito Andolini replied to Dottie, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's really not the job of the patient/parent to nurse the workers. We need to leave our troubles at home when we are on duty. Next time, send her away and tell the person in charge you want a...

  23. I need help: a nurse not prepared for the job

    Vito Andolini replied to amateur's topic in General Nursing

  25. NP discusses MJ on national TV ????

    Vito Andolini replied to Misslady113's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sad about Michael. It's all just so very sad. I guess this NP's actions will all come out in the wash. I would think she should not be discussing his history on
