  1. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You address the priority issue--the coding patient. Everything else has to wait to be dealt with in the best possible light after the crisis--higher priority issue. "We will get someone is to give...

  2. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Jennilynn, I am not making a broad judgment about you. I am asking you to review things analytically with some reasonable sense of empathy. I asked you to take what I said in the constructive...

  3. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Family-centered care is appropriate for any patient. The problem I am reading here is lack of feeling support for setting appropriate limits in the healthcare setting in order to be able to...

  4. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also, when I have been overnight with my mother or father, it was for their support and protection. I could write a book about the incredible mess up and near death errors and such. Don't have time...

  5. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there needs to be some teaching on the overall effectiveness and benefits of family-centered care. Seems like a knowledge deficit kind of thing. Even with family centered care, appropriate...

  6. I am struggling with patient families lately.

    Guest343211 replied to jennilynn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think there does need to be a limit. One family member at bedside overnight should suffice, except in rare instances. If they are truly interfering with the pt tx and plan of care, they need to...

  7. Visitors who stay overnight. Vent.

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OK, the people abuse being there by thinking it's a party and that ignore the patient and are demonstrating that they are being far from helpful and supportive need to go. They either get the general...

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear God, how utter bizarre. What's a johnny? No, this is someone I wouldn't have staying around the clock. This is an example of someone that is clueless and needs strict parameters

  9. Visitors who stay overnight. Vent.

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No one said nurses shouldn't use their judgment as far as visiting is concerned. That's a lot different from having rigid visiting restrictions or a general aversion to family-centered care. I...

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, and that is uncalled for. But if someone is causing a "stoppage of play" with treatment, that is where you have to draw the line, period.I feel badly for the ED nurses that have to play waitress...

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well in most hospitals you have to be pretty hungry to want hospital food. I try to direct them to local eateries or cafeteria or cafe hours--or the vending machines. They can usually see when you...

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I will tell you that in pediatric critical care units of open bays of four, family (parent) has been given recliners next to the patients. We have tried to limit it for obvious reasons, but we do it....

  13. Visitors who stay overnight. Vent.

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I haven't camped out either. It's not an "us versus them" kind of thing. And you have to look at each situation individually. But if the patient wants the person there, and they aren't interfering...

  14. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Guest343211 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Absolutely. What some people in our society seem to avoid or go out of their way to not understand is that every law that is made has to be balanced against its affect on individual human rights--to...

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nah. We teach and ensure that hand-washing is followed. I have even worked in pretty bad inner city PICUs, and it's only been a few people we have had trouble with this in this regard. One for...

    Guest343211 replied to beeker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have stayed with loved ones over night in the hospital. Trust me, it's not comfortable, but we are there for support/protection of loved ones. I recommend people doing this in hospitals anymore,...

  17. Left Nursing After 3 Months and Couldn't Be Happier!

    Guest343211 replied to sweetgeorgia's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thank you for your honesty. I hope a number or pre-nursing and nursing students, as well as nurses, look at what you have shared and take it to heart. And some folks are more gifted for teaching. I...

  18. Newly single mom....will nursing still work for me?

    Guest343211 replied to nahla1204's topic in Nursing Career

    Also, to help make my point, I submit the following like here at AN.

  19. Newly single mom....will nursing still work for me?

    Guest343211 replied to nahla1204's topic in Nursing Career

    I know you said you are already in a nursing program. You still have time to change that if you want. Not all your credits will be lost. I am NOT telling you what to do in terms of nursing or not....

  20. Newly single mom....will nursing still work for me?

    Guest343211 replied to nahla1204's topic in Nursing Career

    The flexibility isn't what it once was, b/c nursing positions are not available as they once were. You have to face the fact that if you do get a position, it may well be nights--or days with night...

  21. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Guest343211 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In reality, in a great number of cases, it would be easier to procure the fertilizer than someone else's gun. We still don't know how he obtained the guns; i.e., how did he learn the combination or...

  22. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Guest343211 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lol. Machine gun?This reply is to the qoute that precedes the above quote. This is a perfectly legal rifle. It's how you modify it that makes it legal or not. Restricting these will not stop...

  23. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Guest343211 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But you know it will go down on the side of mega gun control. Little kids, pretty close to babies, were killed, and people will react with what they think is action that will make a difference. The...

  24. Do you think psychiatric care is inadequate in the US?

    Guest343211 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    To the originally posted question,Most probably. It's hard to make work, however, when people must take responsibility in their own mental health work and processes. And each individual, in so far as...

  25. What's the weirdest thing management has said to you?

    Guest343211 replied to monkeybug's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is truly one of the most DISGUSTING and shameful things I have ever heard. He and his administrators would have received a very strongly worded letter from me along with my resignation. All I...
