  5. Slapped across the face by male patient

    Lynx25 replied to noyesno's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You deserve safety at work, however, HE deserves an interpreter. How could anyone have even done an accurate assessment on him, if no one is speaking his language? You don't know anything about him....

  6. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    Lynx25 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We had a mandated "Everyone stay and sleep over" when we had an icestorm a year or so back. The administration promised OT pay for everyone involved, all kinds of breakfast and perks... Turns out...

  7. Im curious and want to see absolute honesty

    Lynx25 replied to miabia's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I used to do it because it was my dreeeeeeeeeeam, but now, realistically, I do it for the terrible paycheck. I work in a toilety sort of nursing home, I am working on my RN so I can flush myself out...

  8. Stopping patient care for another patient

    Lynx25 replied to sAssy_NurSe's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nope, not wrong at all. Unless you are (A) On fire, or (B) have forgotten how to breathe, you can be next, but you can NOT be "RIGHT NOW!" If you constantly get interrupted, how can you get anything...

  9. How to stand out at a nursing job fair?

    Lynx25 replied to thesundowner's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    As long as you dress as snazzy as your avatar, I'd say no recruiter could resist you! (I've never had any luck at job

  10. How do you get a very combative patient to take a shower

    Lynx25 replied to esunada's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You can read all of the responses you want, but eventually you're just going to have to find the way that works for you and that resident. For one lady, it's "Let's go get your medicine!" She agrees,...

  11. How in the freaking world are you a nurse???

    Lynx25 replied to Daisy_08's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Our co-workers are NOT OUR PATIENTS! I have enough to do without having to worry that about my co-worker's issues. Sorry if it's harsh, I'm sorry if there IS an issue, but please, tell me why I must...

  12. Are nurses really vulnerable?

    Lynx25 replied to Dinma123's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  13. This is EXACTLY why I don't like taking Verbal orders

    Lynx25 replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We take many T.O., as we are a LTC and the docs are never in. I'm no longer shy about demanding they speak up and repeat orders, better they be a little po'd then I get raked over the coals

  14. What exactly is so bad about LTC??

    Lynx25 replied to MaybeaNurse7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm so fed up and furious with this stinking cesspool of idiots and filth that I can't even type anything out right now for fear of a co-worker finding it. Let's just say I'm job hunting with a...

    Lynx25 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If your entitled a** tries to hit me ONE more time, I will snap that fist off at the

  16. Nurses are the real heroes ?

    Lynx25 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I do not, and never have bought the "Everyone of XXXXX job is a hero" Not all soldiers are outstanding people, not all police officers are protecting and serving, and certainly all nurses are not...

  17. Fired for writing a nursing order?

    Lynx25 replied to Nursynursemn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Was it a vague order like, "Offer pain relief solutions prior to therapy at 0900" Or "Lortab 7.5/500 at 0900"? That'd make a difference to

  18. Animal Assisted Therapy - Nursing Ethics?

    Lynx25 replied to liser79's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know if you are going to find enough cons to make a good ethics paper. I'm more worried about my dog getting cooties from the facility, than my dog getting anyone

  19. Uniforms

    Lynx25 replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    Ours resembled white burlap sacks.

  20. Obamacare and Mark of Beast... wrong time to be a nurse?

    Lynx25 replied to tarotale's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    CTRL+F is your friend. You don't have to read every word, however you're so off base that I'm inclined to think you just pulled everything clear out of your neither regions. It's not a subjective...

  21. Can you imagine having Spiderman as a patient?

    Lynx25 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

  22. Stuttering Stupid Nurse

    Lynx25 replied to pearlgarden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Dude, she talks all stupid" What a terrible person. :-/ However, haters gonna hate, so there's always going to be SOMETHING about you that some people are going to pick at. I stutter a bit, but it's...

  23. Shocked by new grads at job fair

    Lynx25 replied to mclennan's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Good lord. If I was a recruiter I would have made a point of handing those resume's RIGHT back to them. However, on a side note, I never knew until I came to Allnurses that it was inappropriate to...

  24. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    Lynx25 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    I don't see a problem with it- until it's the alert/oriented/walkie-talkie that ONLY wants the little young female CNA to do his bed-bath. I have one LOL in my LTC who will burst out crying if a male...

  25. Empower The People With Medical Knowledge!

    Lynx25 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor
