    chicookie replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent post as usual. I personally would accept "tips" (aka bribes) for everything. You want your pain medication on time? Well for the small price of $10 per pop I will be sure to be in your...

    Akward work situation??

    chicookie replied to Devie06's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sometimes... do you hate your pts?

    chicookie replied to FRESH_90's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. Rarely. One came to mind when I read this post. The one who told me that I should be cleaning the floors with "my people". I honestly KNOW I didn't do anything to him, he just hated me for the...

    What do you do if you are assigned a patient you know outside of work?

    chicookie replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Erikson. To me it isn't that big of a deal. I am here to do my job and if that includes someone I know, even better. I've had friends of my mother be my patients before and if anything...

    chicookie replied to chicookie's topic in General Nursing

    homecarelpn: thanks! Whispera: I think it would be a good idea to list them because I don't think many realize for example that Procit has albumin in it. On the form I have those indented, kind of...

    chicookie replied to smily11's topic in General Nursing

    The best moment for me was one day I was walking around with my parents, and I was stopped by this women and she gave me a hug. I had no idea who she was and I must have looked at her like she was...

    chicookie replied to its_meee's topic in General Nursing

    When I am dealing with a stressful situation I don't cry or get flustered. Sometimes I will even smile and comfort the patient. The moment I walk away and the situation is resolved, I break down. One...

    As a patient, is it okay to suggest a vein for IV?

    chicookie replied to Lahryn04's topic in General Nursing

    that reminds me of that one episode of Scrubs where I believe it was JD couldn't find a vein so he called a drug user and the drug user found a good one almost immediately. I thought it was hilarious...
