  1. RE: How much heart Break? Does it still hurt?

    cherrybreeze replied to MMayo's topic in General Nursing

    Having emotion doesn't equate with ignorance and inexperience. Being "hard-boiled" and "veteran" aren't synonymous, either. I've read your post a couple of times, and I'm trying to figure out...

  2. How many times can your heart break in one week? (sorry, very long!)

    cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    I have to respond to this, especially the statement I bolded: I don't think I'm *that* young, I'm 30...I've been doing patient care half my life, was a CNA for 5 years before becoming an RN, which...

  3. How many times can your heart break in one week? (sorry, very long!)

    cherrybreeze posted a topic in General Nursing

    Let me start off by saying, I care for the patients under my watch, but over the years I've learned to manage my emotions pretty well (as we all know, if you let things get to you, you're gonna burn...

  4. How many times can your heart break in one week? (sorry, very long!)

    cherrybreeze replied to cherrybreeze's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your support, guys. It really does help. Reading over my post made me tear up again....I guess no matter how much time you've been at your job, some days and events still really get to...

  5. Rules for the ER (long)

    cherrybreeze replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    Was thinking the same thing, virgo. the uniform doesn't mean a thing. Anyway, also agree with the ama threats. I don't work er (so maybe I shouldn't be here, or at least not be posting!) but we get...

  6. re jean watson caritas

    cherrybreeze replied to inaya's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sounds like an essay question to

  7. Somthing going on with my son...

    cherrybreeze replied to DirtyBlackSocks's topic in General Nursing

    My nephew was recently evaluated for a similar problem...eyes would go to the right frequently and by his control. He saw a physician here, had an MRI, and was sent for evaluation at CHOW...they...

  8. Code Team, Patient Follow Up Survey

    cherrybreeze replied to FlyMom's topic in General Nursing

    Our code team consists of Respiratory therapy, ICU RN, pharmacist, hospitalist, anesthesiologist, nursing supervisor, and pastoral care (hope that's everybody!). No interview done later, to my...

  9. nurses that have fibromyalgia

    cherrybreeze replied to lovinowls101's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have fibro, but do have a couple of chronic painful conditions (IC and endometriosis, plus some degeneration in my back....all at 30, I feel like I'm 90 most days!). If you aren't in a pain...

  10. "...Nurses are Doctors SKIVVIES"

    cherrybreeze replied to studentdan's topic in General Nursing

    This is a variation on what I heard from my HS guidance counselor, when I told her of my plans to go to technical college to get my ADN...."You're not going to a 4-year school? But you're such a...

  11. Fever and dying

    cherrybreeze replied to honeybee888's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that a high fever may add to their discomfort overall, even if they're unresponsive. I would consider tylenol supp, in that case, a comfort measure, same as morphine for respiratory distress,...

  12. Is everything really the nurses fault?

    cherrybreeze replied to jerrylundergard's topic in General Nursing

    My take, though, is that I don't give a rip if the docs don't spend hours documenting x,y, or z....my butt is my own to cover, so I'm going to do that! If something ever comes back to them and their...

  13. restraining on a nurses order?

    cherrybreeze replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that changes things, but I wouldn't know how to answer the question. That isn't what came to mind for me (or seemingly anyone else) hearing the word "restraint/restraints." I don't know what...

  14. Co-worker eats like a cave woman...

    cherrybreeze replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it was said that they're all the same nurse. Maybe OP is the only normal person that works on their

  15. restraining on a nurses order?

    cherrybreeze replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    you can restrain and then get the order. but no, no prn orders. the situation that requires the restraints needs to be assessed at the time they are required. a surgeon can't write an order, say,...

  16. restraining on a nurses order?

    cherrybreeze replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't think a standing order would hold water, either...then you could feasibly also restrain anybody, without proper assessment by MD or midlevel provider. Our restraint policy states no PRN...

  17. Do you agree that Nurses are on the Worst Driver List?

    cherrybreeze replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

    I hate statistics....they can be bent anyway someone wants to paint a particular picture. Anyway, I don't fit that category. *knocks incessantly on wood desk* In 14 years of driving I've never gotten...

  18. Feel traumatized

    cherrybreeze replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    It was an understandable mistake, given your

  19. WI: 75 questions NCLEX RN results

    cherrybreeze replied to mommagracy's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it's most likely that you passed. A couple of people have been bold enough to say that "you passed" and add a smiley, and while I'd love to be able to say that, too, I HAVE heard (more than...

  20. Is everything really the nurses fault?

    cherrybreeze replied to jerrylundergard's topic in General Nursing

    i am going to disagree with this! you still, imo, should have documented the conversation with the cardiologist. just because he was complaining doesn't mean there was a record of his complaining,...

  21. Old Wives Tale or Nursing Intervention?

    cherrybreeze replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    I concur with several mentioned; warm packs to the abdomen are great for gas pains, cool washcloths to the forehead are great for nausea (you can also place them on the the back of the neck, esp if...

  22. I don't think I like anything about nursing!

    cherrybreeze replied to guineachick's topic in General Nursing

    The gist of your posts confuses me a little, they seem contradictory...you say you've been a nurse for 2 years, and that jobs are hard if not impossible to find, and yet you say you've worked in...

  23. I feel stupid

    cherrybreeze replied to bandmja's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know much (at all) about chronic Lyme disease, so I can't offer anything about that. I DO, however, know too much about negative self-talk. It becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. You keep...

  24. Your Pet Peeves in Nursing..

    cherrybreeze replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    If I could remember all of them and have the patience to type them out, you all would think I hate my job. I really do love it, but have a LOW tolerance for BS and little things that are a result of...

  25. Gum Chewing

    cherrybreeze replied to NinetyNine's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, H*LLLLLLLLLLLL no. That doc would have been told REAL fast where she could go. I'd have come up with some pretty good ideas of what to put in her hand, and it wouldn't have been my gum. Taking...
