    jesskidding replied to dplocher's topic in General Students

    Sometimes it's hard to tell a drug seeker from a patient in pain.

    jesskidding replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    Just treat everyone like they are in pain. It could be difficult at times, especially when you are sure they are drug seeking. However, it isn't your call to make. The only person that can experience...

    What is my legal and Ethical Obligation?

    jesskidding replied to tripletsgranny1's topic in General Nursing

    The OP didn't give many details, so we really don't know much about the situation. If fact, if this is all the OP knows about the situation then I think they may be over-reacting. Without more details...

    what would you have done

    jesskidding replied to nursegreenbean's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, but I wouldn't trust every CNA to inspect each pt or resident thoroughly. They are not trained to do that, at least not here in NC. I am currently a CNA and in nursing school, but if...
