  1. Top three patient complaints?

    Cul2 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    "The upper class, financially speaking, patients think the food is horrible, etc., etc. The people who don't have all the best things in life, think the food is wonderful, etc., etc." Yes, let's just...

  2. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Cul2 replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    "I worked as a CNA at a major hospital as a agency CNA and they taught me to insert foley's. Some skills are just... ...not that involved to be worried about...

  3. Time to call a duck a duck?

    Cul2 replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I agree with the last post by candersonRN. Any kind of working "theory," whether it be in nursing or not, is foundational to what we do. There is always some kind of philosophical foundation upon...

  4. Treating the Muslim patient

    Cul2 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    "Your final paragraph summed up what is wrong with healthcare. Americans see it as a moneymaking business. Canadians and Europeans see it as a basic human right." Very true. But what's happening in...

  5. Wannabe Nurses

    Cul2 replied to BUTTERFLY63's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question that might be better placed on another thread -- if so, I ask for moderater advice. Question: What can patients and their families do to prevent (or deal with) situations like...

  6. Somological

    Cul2 replied to sarah1985's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I find it both incredible and disheartening that so few American nurses seem (Notice I said "seem." If I'm wrong, I stand corrected.) to be aware of Lawler's work and her book, Behind the Screens:...

  7. Do you think nursing would be more advanced as a profression if...

    Cul2 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    "However .... as long as the 'nursing's all about on-the-job training / having a degree wont make me a better nurse' brigade are still out in force ....it aint going to happen." True, but it's not any...

  8. Do you think nursing would be more advanced as a profression if...

    Cul2 replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    "the majority of people do not know how rigorous nursing is and therefore dont show the respect I think we deserve." I agree with the first half of that statement. Try this next time someone questions...

  9. Bad Experience with Nurses at hospital, rethinking my major now.

    Cul2 replied to Lindsey-Student's topic in General Nursing

    I can't believe what I'm reading here. Assuming this is a true story, only one person suggests the OP file a complaint? Only one? To the OP -- Be a nurse. Be a good, ethical, caring, responsible...

  10. Is this a HIPAA violation?

    Cul2 replied to studentCL2009's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Beyond whether this is a HIPAA violation or not -- Would you feel comfortable giving personal information to this person knowing now what you know? Knowing what you know, if you had a choice, would...

  11. Treating the Muslim patient

    Cul2 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    "If you don't agree with my opinion that is fine, but I'm unsure how I could make my statement any clearer. I believe I made my position clear. Please re-read my post." In my last post, I tried...

  12. Treating the Muslim patient

    Cul2 replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    "I see the reason behind ensuring that someone is made comfortable in regards to their religious or cultural backgrouds, I just feel that there could be someone else hired/position created to do it."...

  13. Male nurse in L&D

    Cul2 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Hospital fails to justify refusal to hire male obstetrical nurses." http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Hospit...s.-a01174517617 The burden of proof is on the employer, and since there is case precedent...

  14. Male nurse in L&D

    Cul2 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "If I had to have intimate care done by a hot guy my age or younger then I probably would want someone else (if it could be accommodated) and that would strictly be because of my own embarrassment."...

  15. Male nurse in L&D

    Cul2 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    "Just seems very discriminatory not to hire males in L&D or in mammography from what I have read here. L&D is not what interests me but there are most entirely females working at urology...

  16. HIPAA--Mixed up discharge papers

    Cul2 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I can't believe some of the advice I'm reading here. So much for protection of personal privacy. This was a clear example of a breach of security and compromise of personal information. Yes it was a...

  17. OK, Cultural question here, please forgive the stupidity.

    Cul2 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    A few others have acknowledged this, too -- but deference to Muslims or any other religious or ethnic group -- kindness, politeness, civility, asking preferences, not assuming too much about what's...

  18. Patient rights v. Clinical instructor?

    Cul2 replied to studentnurse0383's topic in General Nursing

    Did anyone ask the patient why he didn't want a bath? If so, what was his

  19. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Cul2 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Why is it that when you type into yahoo " I hate female nurses" that there are over 20,000,000 hits?" I'll tell you why -- because when you type into yahoo or google "I hate (fill in the blank),"...

  20. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Cul2 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    "You're not a nurse ??? I really don't think you have an accurate handle on this. Let me tell you their behaviour is very real ...and yes, it does 'define who they are'. That's exactly who they are....

  21. WOW! The public really doesn't like us, huh?

    Cul2 replied to Mrs. SnowStormRN's topic in General Nursing

    There's much truth expressed on this thread. The public can be difficult. But, like the police, sometimes nurses are seeing some people at their worst -- when they're sick, frightened, vulnerable....

  22. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    Cul2 replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "if you could make your point to the triage nurse without her having to get dog piled on by admin./management (and certainly not the local newspaper), your point would be much the more powerful to her...

  23. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    Cul2 replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Some observations: -- There sometimes seems to be, esp. in ER, ICU, etc., an abyss between the physical part of care and the human part of care. I know. I know. It's all the same -- theoritically....

  24. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    Cul2 replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Oh for frack's sake. I think we've beaten this horse to death. Yes, the triage nurse's comment was rude. But really, a letter to the media? Were I the OP, I'd be thanking my lucky stars that all I...

  25. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    Cul2 replied to laurasc's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the OP -- I not saying it was you duty to speak up. I'm saying that most patients won't speak up. Most standing by won't speak up, even spouses. Even other nurses or attendants won't often speak...
