   cherrybreeze replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I agree with what JBudd voiced as sound reasoning for asking a spouse to leave during a pelvic exam, but also.....seeing "down there" during the heat of the moment/*making a baby* obviously has a very...

   Sweet. Thanks for the info.

3. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

   cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in Nursing Professionalism

   I've missed you guys, too! The site sure has changed, wow....just noticed there isn't a multi-quote feature for replies anymore, bummer (so sorry for not addressing any posts directly, it would take...

4. Spouses being asked to leave the room

   cherrybreeze replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I'm not sure where your statement about using HIPAA to cover up substandard care comes from. it sounds like you assume that's the reason that family members are asked to leave. just one of many...

   cherrybreeze replied to Indenial's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   There really is no such thing as a "textbook"

6. Once again.....I'm a "nurse".....

   cherrybreeze posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

   Long time no see! I haven't visited here in ages (lots of things going on personally), but when I saw this the other day, I knew I had to share....you folks here will understand it in a way no one...

7. Checking visitor's vitals

   cherrybreeze replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

   The one question that comes to mind for me in the O2 scenario (hooking someone up to O2 who forgot their tank at home) is, what happens when that family leaves the building? If you took it upon...

8. COPD patient wanting to leave to smoke

   cherrybreeze replied to chris10lsuRN's topic in General Nursing

   Pulling out tubes, falling, etc etc....sure. But to jump from smoking to "using their IV to do drugs" is ridiculous.

9. Checking visitor's vitals

   cherrybreeze replied to AJPV's topic in General Nursing

   How could he sue the nurse for refusing to check? It is not the nurse's responsibility to provide ANY type of care to a visitor/the general public. The person could have gone to the ER on their own,...

    Holy cow. How do you make the connection between someone wanting to go out to smoke to

11. Brushing my teeth at work giving me mouth sores

    cherrybreeze replied to Jamthenurse's topic in General Nursing

12. Brushing my teeth at work giving me mouth sores

    cherrybreeze replied to Jamthenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I am a little confused by this. How would that many nasty germs, etc, end up on the spout? It doesn't get touched. Not saying that germs/water can't splash, but I have a hard time believing it's...

13. Why cant I get an interview or at least a job?

    cherrybreeze replied to ilove's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with this, wouldn't you know if there was something that was a red flag on your background checks? There is no way for us here to know why you aren't getting more interviews or a job....

14. was i unprofessional? (quick story)

    cherrybreeze replied to raindrop's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Don't put words in my mouth. I didn't say that the OP expected/hoped for answers from people that weren't nurses. ALL I said was that the OP was not a question about nurse/patient ratios. Nothing...
