  1. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Who knows what the deal is, all I know is that I have not written plans of care anymore since I left nursing school in 1978. All the plans of care are standardized and we nix out the things that...

  2. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    we've gotten so far off track. You must have some reasoning for beginning nursing treatment. When a patient is first assessed you base your nursing intervention based on a list of diagnoses. All...

  3. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I"m sure many nurses do exactly what I do, but I'll give an example of how nursing care is different. I work in the OR and have very limited exposure to my patients. I do a pre-op assessment after...

    HAHAHAHA Just kidding. Trying to find some humor in this age old discussion on working toward perfection. Have some fun, value what you do, fill out the paper work and treat all with as much respect...

    You win-I'm a woman, I give up, you can have it, it's not worth it, I'm weak and tired, can't we just get along, don't you like me? Sorry, I'm so sorry. Love you and have a nice

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really care what Harvard says when it comes to my personal observations. I stated it in my perspective not research data bases, which don't always see the same things the way I do. If women...

  8. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone has something to bring to the table. Males have much better negotiation skills and confront things in a more "to the point" way, less emotion in the arguments. Females are willing to take...

  9. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    We do need transformation because what I see coming out of nursing school these days is somewhat less of cause and effect plan of care. And for experienced nurses more fear of using what they know...

  11. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Stay tuned for the next wave from academia which makes more sense than the nursing diagnosis issues. It's outcome based or evidence based

  12. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Will historians say that in the last half of the 20th century the developing classifications revolutionized nursing practice? Perhaps so. Nursing diagnosis encouraged thinking to move from the notion...

  13. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    @ warpster I totally agree. I have tried as a former educator to gently enlighten administrators and managers to the real world of trying to implement what they want you to do and it is virtually...

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard both good and bad about both systems. Neither deserves denigration just improvement which will be forever

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Wow this is kind of BS. They give you a wage based on level of experience. You can negotiate your wage but if you do you top out on the payscale. If you work in a specialty area and have multiple...

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    You know there are alot of things that were created to validate someone's job. Kardex's are great for day to day changes and for reporting. They are doing the same thing now with print off's. It's...

  17. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Oh and I do think that just because we learned something and got a degree and suffered through a 50 page report etc, it doesn't mean that things don't need to be shaken up and stirred a bit. We don't...

  18. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief, why are we so angry? NP's are just about the only nurses who get to bill. You are a small population and you can diagnose, and you can in some states write prescriptions and you can...

  19. Nursing Diagnosis...the sacred cow that needs to go.

    cdsga replied to Idaho4me's topic in General Nursing

    Having to use certain verbiage to state your diagnosis is very difficult and too time consuming. There are nursing diagnoses that are tabulated such as the CPT codes. After those there are...

  20. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    cdsga replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First of all, when did patients have the ability to eat food other than what their diet allows? This post while sensitive is utterly too much for me. If someone on my unit gives me a birthday cake,...

  21. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    cdsga replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses who want to please doctors or follow their less than stellar techniques. Medical practice and nursing practice models are completely different. In that I mean medical practice concentrates on...

    cdsga replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We just celebrated Nurses Week this week and the hospital where I work combined it to Patient Care Week to include all the tech support as well. We have been very accommodating almost to a fault. We...

  25. What do you consider to be nursing's biggest setback?

    cdsga replied to almost30's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All I know there is SO much frustration in this thread. How we get the people we need to hear us and allow a positive difference to be made is the issue now. It's a fine line between complaining to...
