    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Yea if Jen reacted the way she did and especially in front of others, she absolutely should be apologizing too. I was refraining from my opinion on her part because I didn't get her side and the OP...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I did not try to spin anything. I stated clearly what I meant. Not sure why you are trying to change that?? I don't think you get to determine what incident reports get to be used as. The MIDAS...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Ehhh there were quite a few red flags that there is most likely a little more to the story, and cases like this I always wish Jenny was around. #butthatsnoneofmybusiness She can go in my make believe...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    You're right. Yelling at someone to never block your way again when they clearly block the exit in a heated moment is definitely not the reaction of someone feeling threatened. I am sure if we were...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    I was trying to behave and keep my assumptions to myself and strictly stick to their questions. I was surprised no one noticed it. But I try to always remember we are only getting one

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    He said that he knew she was in there because she came in to take her break when he was coming off his lunch. Which didn't make sense as far as him asking if she was on lunch of break. It was made to...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    Ulterior Motives usually come with the meaning that your motive for doing the action is selfish of dishonorable. If I have done something and after reflecting realize I was wrong, I would apologize,...

    Accusation Against Male Nurse (Me)

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Lapzs's topic in General Nursing

    To the OP, I would advice against this bolded part right here. You acknowledge now that blocking her in was not ok, neither was the statement of "You are not leaving this room until we discuss this" I...

    Ettiquette for Quitting Nursing Job

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to beccayaker's topic in Nursing Career

    We technically didn't have to give any notice, however I wouldn't recommend that. I was however beyond fed up with the crappy management at my job and the way they handled a few things. So after...

    Religious accommodation means no Saturdays....ever?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to momto6msn's topic in General Nursing

    It's such a shame the nurse in question just happened to be the only nurse who applied for the job. If only there had been other candidates maybe this whole thing could have been avoided

    Drawing blood

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MF123's topic in General Nursing

    Applewhitern, Do you remember the rationale for this? I'm curious since these patients tend to be pretty anemic already unless it was like some off the record manual dialysis going on. lol But I am...

    Drawing blood

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MF123's topic in General Nursing

    Most butterflys are 25gauge, 23gauge, and 21gauge, while the actual syringe itself may not be what causes the hemolysis (wasn't trying to go that in depth to the simple question, but next time I will)...

    Craziness

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CBlover's topic in Emergency

    Patient came in, reminded me of my ex-mother in laws house. Almost like an ammonia smell. Ex-mother in law had an insane amount of cats and litter boxes everywhere. I was so thankful I rarely had to...

    Psych pts protocol

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to joyful_wanderer's topic in Emergency

    I have seen it vary so much in the many ER's I have worked, but majority of the places we take everything. Patients get paper scrubs or a gown. (I was more of a fan of the paper scrubs, it made more...

    Addicts in the ED

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to amyjm333's topic in Emergency

    Oh I missed the part of that you were lying about praying. Got it! The bolded part is a clear indication that as a health care professional, especially in the ER, you need more education regarding...

    Addicts in the ED

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to amyjm333's topic in Emergency

    If you're a man of prayer, I find it interesting that you are willing to pray that no one falls victim to addiction, but so easily cast aside anyone that does and show so much disdain for

    Craziness

    I accidently told a patient she smelled like a cat lady. I didn't mean it that way but my friend wouldn't let me live it

    Wrong is right CPR question

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Floor_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I just renewed my CPR and they said if it was unwitnessed you do the CPR right away (if unconscious) with the new standard. If you witnessed the child start choking to know 100% they were choking,...

    Should Female Muslim Psychiatric Patients Be Allowed to Wear Hijabs?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to purplegal's topic in Psychiatric

    This could be more than just a risk for the patient, but a safety risk in the unit. It would be easy for a patient to have a psychotic episode and yank the headpiece off and wrap it around someone's...
