I hate poop....can I refuse to clean a patient up? Seriously..you can't just refuse to do your job. If the patient declines you to do it, that is different, but to straight out say, I don't do that....tells me you have issues.
I had a nurse question my giving a pain med for a patients back pain. The patient was admitted for an skin infection and had a I&D. The other nurse felt that the pain medication should only be given for the pain related to the procedure.
I have a child on the autism spectrum with an IQ of 70, so on the cusp. If he had an average IQ he wuld be considered Aspergers, but he doesn't so he is PPD-NOS. I believe more children are diagnoses due to more information. My son wasn't diagnose...
Seriously. My son with Autism doesn't need to recover, it isn't a death sentence. Measles can be a death sentence. You would rather a child risk death than risk autism, WHICH THEY WON'T AS THERE IS NO SCIENTIFIC PROOF THAT VACCINES CAUSE AUTISM.
My experience as an RN in nursing homes and now one in an acute care facility is those that are FULL codes are sent out when they are circling so the nursing home doesn't have to code them. I know I sent them out faster, then someone who had a DNR. ...
DNR, to me, means nothing is done once they are no longer with a pulse. We have DNI or people who also do not want to be intubated, which is not the same as DNR. Some people are both DNR/DNI.
