  2. a rant (pts come to hospital for the littlest of things)

    z's playa replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I totally agree that a rant's a rant. I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm not recognizing that. It's too darn easy to get drawn into a debate though. Am I right? I'll watch it. Bad Z. Rant away. I'm...

  3. a rant (pts come to hospital for the littlest of things)

    z's playa replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, if you have a true migraine, 10mg of IV reglan is a miracle worker. But...doesn't work for everyone. True migraine or not. I agree if you're in the ER 5x in one week you need to see your...

  5. Another question to ask

    z's playa replied to pretty25's topic in International Nursing

    I'm just curious as to why you don't go to the library? Doesn't your school have one? Doesn't your teacher give you suggestions as to where to research it? Google it perhaps?

  7. a rant (pts come to hospital for the littlest of things)

    z's playa replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you for sharing this story. I feel that the ER staff doesn't always realize how much of an influence they have on a pt..present or future. Their actions and the way they project dislike towards...

    z's playa replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    I would have no problems watching a human get cut open but yeah.....a cat would make me wanna :barf01: too. I'm guessing its because we've been desensitized by TV and movies with all the blood and...

    z's playa replied to evans_c1's topic in General Nursing

  12. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    z's playa posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've noticed something a little amusing at my campus. My school is mixture of med students, physio, nursing and the newest degree... health sciences. All this attatched to the hospital where we all do...

    z's playa replied to gwlillith's topic in General Nursing

  15. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    z's playa replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    When I lived in Spain everyone always said Hi how are you every time they saw you. Can you imagine working in a hospital in Spain where you run across the same people all day long? Yep...could get a...

  17. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    z's playa replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    I've been toying with the idea of actually telling someone how I'm doing when they casually stroll by me and ask "How you doin?" Could you imagine the look on their face when I stop in the hall and...

  18. Why on earth does no one make eye contact?

    z's playa replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    z's playa replied to z's playa's topic in General Nursing

    Today is my "revive old threads' day . :chuckle I had actually totally forgotten about this thread. I've recently started volunteering at a LT facility and I've made up my mind to acknowledge...

  20. What is your least favorite kind of med-surg patient?

    z's playa replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I have a question. How do you decipher the difference between a so called drug seeking whiney pt and a pt in genuine pain? If the pt asks for meds q 3.8 hours wouldn't this signal insufficient relief...

  21. A little distressed, accused of stealing....

    z's playa replied to gwlillith's topic in General Nursing

    It seems to me you've blown it way out of proportion. You were only asked if you took it, right? Relax...you aren't the only one who works there. Just go in to work and don't blow up at anyone. Just...

    z's playa replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It does happen that things are missed..sometimes for years even if a pt gets the million dollar work up. What if the pt was genuinly fearful of any more pain and actually really panicked because of...

  25. if only for one day......

    z's playa replied to babyktchr's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hmmm Steph..I don't see the problem with asking a pt to stop soiling the bed. if he's perfectly capable of doing so. What's he going to do? Tell on you for asking him to stop?
