    Embarassing...

    StNeotser replied to momwithajob2's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not on any blood thinners but always seem to get a small bruise with an IM shot and on a blood draw I really bruise up. I guess I'm just one of those people. I think your friends are one of...

    This is not my job?!?

    StNeotser replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    At least that's being honest about the whole thing. No paying anyone to sit with a miserable face for half an hour at a nurses station while the nurse is busy. I strongly suspect the reason nursing...

    StNeotser replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    No doubt you are all the same nurses who run to get the call light ahead of the aide every time there is one of those type of threads. When can I meet one of you in real life? I've never worked with...

    StNeotser replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    I was referring to the poster who said they used regular towels as well as paper towels to clean up poop. However good a laundry is, I wouldn't feel comfortable using a towel that had been used a day...

    StNeotser replied to Ally0981's topic in General Nursing

    It's about time if we are really expected to do this that we don't get paper towels and towels that are going to be used for a patients shower the next day that we either a) Get proper access to...

    What is it with family members?

    StNeotser replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    As in, shall my corpse be in the fetal position or the "in flight" position? I see a lot of bollocks in what you've just written. Without law and order any country that is ungovernable has a very...

    StNeotser replied to karenG's topic in International Nursing

    StNeotser replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh, you can be arrested for getting in the way of a police investigation, wouldn't it be great if family members could be arrested for getting in the way of someones plan of care? That's...

    StNeotser replied to iluvivt's topic in General Nursing

    The thing is, I remember working in a really awful long term care where they only had about half regular staff, the rest were agency. Five years later the place is still like that. They didn't care...
