  1. My hellish day on the skilled floor (pull up a chair)

    Tash4nvyblues replied to kiszi's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That is really a day from hell, you poor thing. Sounds like you did a good job

  2. Condom Catheter Crisis

    Tash4nvyblues replied to abbaking's topic in Men in Nursing

    Sounds like the female nurse needs some advice from certain Army nurses. :selfbonk: I apologise in advance. :imdbb:

  3. Life Crisis

    Tash4nvyblues replied to markfrc65's topic in General Nursing

    I genuinely feel sorry for you because I too had serious family issues in my final year of nursing, I had come so far and I was looking at a fail because of circumstances I had no control over. I...

  4. I can't cath to save my life!

    Tash4nvyblues replied to espritjolieRN's topic in General Nursing

    In regard to the female catheter, unfortunately no woman is the same, and you will find that the meatus is further down in the lady partsl canal. Make sure you have plenty of light and assistance...

  5. "I'll sue you"

    Tash4nvyblues replied to nurseby07's topic in Home Health

    You have definitely gone above and beyond what you should have had to. Where I work, we deal with similar situations where we are contracted by the hospital to attend to wound dressings, often similar...

  6. it is depressing and dissapointing

    Tash4nvyblues replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    I agree totally, the stressors of the hospital environment can bring out the worst in some nurses. But don't be disheartened, if you do your job to the best of your ability and stay out of the office...

  7. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    At our local hospital we had a repeat visitor to the hospital, he got the nickname coke bottle bob, if you need me to elaborate let me

  8. Share Your Funniest Patient Stories...

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Trvln Nurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    Working in ccu, we had, a four bed high dependency unit not far from the nurses station, this particular day something smelt repulsively like poop, through the whole of ccu. We searched high and low...

  9. Freak accident

    Tash4nvyblues replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you are not in too much pain and you recover fully that is definitely an awful experience. I have had a workmate who has seriously damaged her ankle recently similar to your story, however,...

  10. When is it safe for a pt to come to the floor from recovery?

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Med Surge 2's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I would have sent the patient back. But I tell you what, it's obviously been a while since I have worked in an acute setting, because I would have never have been allocated such a large...

  11. Staff nurse dating manager

    Tash4nvyblues replied to dks54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Busyrnandmom, that is a really great story, I love happy endings, and the way you both went about your relationship was a credit to you both. If the couple are professional about it they probably...

  12. You know it's a full moon when.....

    Tash4nvyblues replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    That must have been terrifying, thank goodness no one was seriously

  13. I Dislike Nursing:

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Barlan's topic in General Nursing

    Barlan, if you are struggling with your profession that much that you have contemplated suicide, you definitely need some professional counselling. Maybe nursing is not for you, I thought the same...

  14. Would you ask a patient's child to dress his or her parent?

    Tash4nvyblues replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I certainly wouldn't have left the unit to go and get you from the car, that seems quite odd. It is a very personal choice whether you want to dress your father or not. It is the nurses job to help...

  15. sick all the time

    Tash4nvyblues replied to cupcake25's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I am talking about genuine cases, and I too would be most annoyed, if I was experiencing what you are, that is not fair. Kizzykatlove has a good point. Nursing is very stressful emotionally...

    Tash4nvyblues replied to cupcake25's topic in General Nursing

    My mum has fibromyalgia and a nurses back and had the luxury, financially, of being able to retire early. I work with 2 nurses who have fibromyalgia, both are single who have raised children on...

  18. NM altering my timecard - how do I approach her?

    Tash4nvyblues replied to casperx875x's topic in General Nursing

    In my job, if we stay back and it is a legitimate reason we are to notify our manager as soon as is practical. They will record this overtime for us for their own record. We then record this on our...

  19. Constipation - Need ideas...

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Meraki's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    thanks everyone, I now know what MOM stands for. What a great response (LOL). You hit the nail on the head with the cranberry juice. If your grandmother can swallow cranberry tablets, that would be...

  20. When the hospital kills people

    Tash4nvyblues replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    ClaraSic, This is not an attack, but I think you are missing the point. I believe jls is pointing out many shortfalls in the hospital system and is merely highlighting the related outcomes of these...

  21. 1 cup is how many mL?

    Tash4nvyblues replied to by_stander22's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  22. The think I cheated

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Nicky30's topic in General Nursing

    Consider this the compliment of all compliments, and think of the grade you will be receiving when they realise they were wrong. well

  23. When the hospital kills people

    Tash4nvyblues replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    A lady I knew at the age of 40 was diagnosed with leukeamia, her only symptom was that she felt more tired then usual, apart from that there was nothing wrong with her. She died a month later. Maybe...

  24. agism in nursing

    Tash4nvyblues replied to new51's topic in General Nursing

    In Australia, there has been a huge push for older women/men to join or rejoin nursing, giving refresher courses to the ex nurses. It has worked wonderfully, I love it. Except when I visit new...

  25. Can we give advice?? Stepping over lines??

    Tash4nvyblues replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I agree also, and the patient is also entitled to a second opinion if you are really concerned that problems are not being followed up properly. Be very careful about what advice you give. It could...
