  1. Not getting supervisory backup

    blondy2061h replied to morrowrn's topic in General Nursing

    Reviewing the tape you'll have zero luck getting anywhere with. If the family hasn't complained I think letting this wound close sounds like a fair

  2. Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    blondy2061h replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    This is why when I'm feeling really coffee snobbish I have a back up Aeropress and hand grinder at work. When I just need a caffeine fix it's the Keurig or one of the chain

  3. Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    blondy2061h replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, this is silly. It reminds me of when Bic tried to market pens for woman. Nurses don't need special coffee. I work in a hospital that doesn't provide coffee at all. There's a chain coffee place...

  4. Does a 8-12 hour shift go by fast to you?

    blondy2061h replied to Neywel120's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I remember in high school when I worked retail four hours felt like forever. Now 12 hours flies by. I often am shocked to see my replacement come in. A 16 hour shift on the other hand still feels...

  5. Can Allnurses add a filter...

    blondy2061h posted a topic in General Nursing

    That automatically deletes certain threads? Like ones that contain the words "Pearson Vue Trick?" I'm real sick of reading about a test I took 9 years ago on a professional

  6. Why Can Pre-Med Students Know Their Choice But Nursing Students "Can't"?

    blondy2061h replied to Shookclays's topic in General Nursing

    I always chuckle when someone tells me they're a pre-med major. I chuckle even more when they tell me what specialty they're going to go into. No one-nursing or medical- knows what their path will

  7. When to start administering "hospice medications."

    blondy2061h replied to LPN9200's topic in General Nursing

    Well everyone is entitled to comfort measures whether they're hospice or full treatment. We use pain management and symptom management for people who are no where near end of life and are full codes....

  8. When to start administering "hospice medications."

    blondy2061h replied to LPN9200's topic in General Nursing

    Did she have the medications ordered? What were the PRN indications? If I had a patient with an infection whose family opted for comfort measures only I use PRN medications quite generously. No one...

  9. Nursing student getting abuse from instructor

    You need to grow a skin or you have a long journey ahead of you- not just in school but in your career and life in

  10. What Narcotic Log book do you use

    blondy2061h replied to brookePACURN's topic in General Nursing

    We don't use a book. Because it's

  11. Has anyone else been in this situation?

    blondy2061h replied to StillWaiting115's topic in General Nursing

    One of the very best things about nursing is the wide variety of fields. It is not one size fits all! I would be ill suited as a psych nurse. It sounds like you might be a good fit for you. Each...

  12. Two residents have refused my care

    blondy2061h replied to CNA2016:)'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Stop pushing yourself on that male resident. You're making that situation worse. I'm glad things got better with the

  13. Camp Nursing General Question

    blondy2061h replied to Cubs1's topic in General Nursing

    When I went to camp the camp did this. Now that I volunteer at the camp some twenty years later as a nurse, they no longer do. The rationale for doing it was to screen for injuries to prevent camp...

  14. Nurses: Monthly or Weekly Planners

    blondy2061h replied to biobots's topic in General Nursing

    I did that once upon a time until I didn't show up for a scheduled shift once until the charge nurse called me wondering where my butt

    I couldn't have said it better myself. Thank

  20. Crossed the line with a flirty family member. How to deal with ethical issues?

    blondy2061h replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's a problem when people feel they can't say "stop harassing me" if someone is doing just that for fear of being rude or not sounding nice. You can be firm and professional. A physician wouldn't put...

  21. Crossed the line with a flirty family member. How to deal with ethical issues?

    blondy2061h replied to Scuba_NurseBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "This is the end of this conversation. Stop harassing me about it. Do you have any questions about your mother's care?" If it continues it's appropriate to ask for

    blondy2061h replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Was it common for students to have patterned shirts? All of these uniforms look so stiff and tight, I can't imagine trying to provide patient care dressed like
