  1. Can we have a punching bag in the break room?

    Guest372004 replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    A great idea but our break room does not have enough room. They would never do it because one could possibly hurt their hand with punching even with gloves. Maybe a padded room where one gets a few...

  2. Favourite Doctor Moments

    Guest372004 replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I worked in a high tech clinic for many years. We got to know many of our patients well as they were repeats for tons of years. If we ever had an abusive, nasty patient giving trouble to myself or the...

  3. Is this normal?? =/

    Guest372004 replied to MaryDeeLVN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Most important advice...........Do not stay up late the night before. Go to bed at a decent time and get a good nights sleep. No studying 24hrs before the exam. Do NOT cram till all hours of the...

  4. Fought the good fight...

    Guest372004 replied to cincin1's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion, which may be worth 2 cents, is if at all possible.........relocate. Anywhere where there is a decent sized hospital where you will get experience. The job market will change and you will...

  5. How To Get A Patient To Take Pain Meds When Needed...

    Guest372004 replied to sharpeimom's topic in Pain Management

    Oh My! He sounds like he did pretty darn well with such a difficult childhood. He may be good at caring for you because no one really cared well for him as a kid. You sound like a good match. On the...

  6. How To Get A Patient To Take Pain Meds When Needed...

    Guest372004 replied to sharpeimom's topic in Pain Management

    I may sound "uninterested" but if this was my husband and after repeatedly going on and on about taking pain meds with him not doing so, I would just let it go. He is a grown man. I would concentrate...

  7. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    agree Suebee regarding it is easier for people to go on and on about who is going to pay for birth control pills when they do not look at "who is going to pay for health, housing, food, etc" for this...

  8. GUILTY

    Guest372004 replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    It was Memorial Day almost midnight. I was exhausted from work, driving slowly thru the many stop signs in my neighborhood when a cop stopped me for "erratic" driving. Was driving out of state car...

  9. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It is hard to let people go but mostly because they are not educated and seriously believe (many do) that their loved one is going to get better!! How in the world do they believe this? Because they...

  10. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Last night I had a 102 yr old woman. Demented, bedsores, bedridden and obviously in bad shape. In my nursing diagnosis......she has "a case of the oldies". The amount of IV antibiotics I was giving...

  11. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I am truly amazed at the strength of all of you who are taking these meds. I look at this issue without judgement and always "if it helps, go for it". If ones blood pressure is high, take anti-...

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They are taking your hard earned money for illegals health which again is tons more $ than $20

  13. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    mmmm Alpha Omega.......your argument "sounds" intelligent but it will not happen. People are going to have sex. Contraception is a lot cheaper than paying for the birth of a baby, plus all the govt....

  14. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Good point Subee. As for certain procedures being refused on a 90 yr old......well that is questionable. I see too many old demented people that are taking up space meaning.....being worked on for no...

  15. Planned Parenthood, Women's Health Issues, Nurses could rule the US

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    All arguments are valid except...........a woman still needs the right for birth control and abortion. Sorry to all you "religious" people. Abortion is awful I agree and I have never had one BUT it...

  16. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure if dopamine receptors are influenced by benzos? You are fortunate to have good coping skills. I do not think many of these posters had crack head parents. Just

  17. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    It would be interesting to see a study regarding usage of benzos. Meaning, in several job classifications. Police are stressed and are they taking them? What about teachers? Or high tech software...

  18. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Yes I never thought of putting dogs to sleep with their owners holding them. And yes Chiggysmom..........correct. I would NEVER go into this field again unless it was in the "beauty business". When...

  19. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Remember.........never "friend" a manager or a boss. I truly do not believe that an employer can ask to see the account. But who knows in this non-personal

  20. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Not that I take much meds, but I still would not give that info out other than tylenol for a headache. They are not going to do drug testing for blood pressure meds or I don't even know if there is a...

  21. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that is legal in California to ask someone what meds they take for a job. Personally if asked, I would not give out that type of

  22. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Mazy you are correct IMO. Some people here keep going on and on about how nursing employers need to change things. It is not going to happen. They use the "economy" as a means of controlling nurses....

  23. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    How do you know that people are unable to cope? We truly do not know how others are feeling and how/if they are coping. I do agree that we are told (look at the t.v. advertisements) that we are...

  24. Do we need to take drugs.. in order to do our job?

    Guest372004 replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting topic for sure. Fact is, we are a medicated society and in my opinion it will not change. Medications are there to "help" people. We all have our own level of coping. It is what it is. It...

    Guest372004 replied to Karen's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    CFitz I did not say that at all. I said that if I am suffering and there is no chance, please help me endure the suffering with pain relief. I agree with you regarding Hospice at times. I have had...
