    Worried

    NurseCard replied to cool88's topic in General Nursing

    My first thought was... in a medical facility, you are taught that the customer is always right.. and you bend over backwards to please your patients... bring them water, coffee, snacks, what have...

    Worried

    NurseCard replied to cool88's topic in General Nursing

    So let me get this straight... you were up all night before you went to work? Or did you get a LITTLE sleep? Like maybe oh, 2-3 hours? Either way, no wonder you started falling asleep once they made...

    This person outranks me?!

    NurseCard replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    When I first read your original post, I had a difficult time knowing how to respond. I mean, we do have fun here... we really do. The problem I guess is that the examples that you provided weren't...

    This person outranks me?!

    NurseCard replied to Aunt Slappy's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a nurse 14 years and I still ask questions that some would think are stupid. There's a TON of things I still don't know. A TON. I would have asked about the sputum. Definitely. Being a...

    Have a BSN. Interested in a non nursing masters degree or non bedside nursing job. Help

    NurseCard replied to Murse196's topic in General Nursing

    At one time, I was looking at going back to school and getting a degree in Art Therapy. The program that I was looking at, they really liked applicants with some medical background. Art Therapists...

    Oh good lord, can I please just come to Allnurses and get a break from the corny inspirational crap that piles up in my Facebook

    Hung my own blood! :-)

    NurseCard replied to JBMmom's topic in General Nursing

    Wow!!! That is so cool!! I have given blood in the past, but never in a thousand years have I ever thought that I would run across my own blood like that!

    Black Sheep...time to leave?

    NurseCard replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hey PrincessBride... I don't have much to add to the conversation, just wanted to share my experience. I too have struggled my whole life with being shy and an introvert. I can remember in high...

    What would you do?

    NurseCard replied to DesertRosee's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I picked hospital 2. Closer to home, no contract, better pay. The downside is, fewer options for transfer within the hospital, as opposed to the bigger hospital. Then again, how small is this...

    NurseCard posted a topic in Nursing Humor

    Does ANYONE else find that commercial for Entresto HORRIBLY annoying? Or am I just a cold hearted beast? Those old people singing different stanzas of that horrible, vile song? That poor old guy...

    Doctor upset by charting

    NurseCard replied to LalaRN9000's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is an appropriate thing to chart if what the parent said, was indicative of the parent's attitude, given that the patient is a child and thus, the things that a parent say, can provide...

    Fall Prevention with Psychiatric Patient

    NurseCard replied to cbradford1's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hm... I can understand no restraints, but why no alarms? Other than that, I really can't think of how your interventions would be any different than any other resident with say,

    My dad died yesterday

    NurseCard replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I am very sorry for your loss. I know that nothing really compares to losing a parent... but we lost my mother in law about two and a half years ago. She and I never completely saw eye to eye, but...

    Matt Lauer Fired due to Inappropriate Sexual Behavior. Has This Happened to You?

    NurseCard replied to traumaRUs's topic in Nursing News

    I guess I've been kinda lucky. The only thing I've really endured in the workplace... I was 21 and working at this large, busy convenience store in Louisville. I was one of about 3-4 young girls...

    Coworker wanted to trade shifts

    NurseCard replied to NurseDisneyPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    Thanksgiving and Christmas are my main two. Pretty much, I don't care about any other holiday. Used to always want Easter off, when we were actually going to church. Also Halloween used to be a big...

    So Burnt I'm crispy

    NurseCard replied to 8daysaweek's topic in General Nursing

    No, you don't have to accept verbal abuse, or be disrespected. You just don't. I feel your pain; to be quite honest I have always preferred working with lower-to-middle class folks. When I was...

    bleeding after catheter insertion?

    NurseCard replied to sstei5988's topic in General Nursing

    Did the urine ever clear? When you say "reddish"... like, a tinge of red? Maybe more pink? Or what? There could have been some slight trauma from insertion, even though the insertion seemed to go...

    Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    NurseCard replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    well... is "prejudiced" the wrong word? I don't want to develop an opinion of my patient and thus have it possibly affect how I'm going to treat them, before I've even walked into their room. I...

    Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    NurseCard replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly would rather not get that in report because I find that it does make me prejudiced towards them, without even getting a chance to meet them first. So I vote that it is not helpful. Edit:...

    English As A Second Language

    NurseCard replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    Well... someone said basically, it all falls on the listener, not the person speaking.. and I suppose I can agree with that. Or, I can see the argument that, should a person whom, for WHATEVER reason,...

    English As A Second Language

    NurseCard replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    It's a tough argument. I would never advocate discriminating against anyone based on their accent. Furthermore, I have worked with many foreign born nurses with very thick accents, and I personally...

    English As A Second Language

    NurseCard replied to Santa Monica's topic in General Nursing

    I REALLY do not see anything wrong with a native English speaking nurse, helping a non-native speaker with their pronunciation of medical terms and various other terms, especially when receiving that...
