1. Blow out at the desk, who was at fault? both share blame I think?

   Reborn replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think you are thinking right. I think 6-9 mos is more than enough time to know that as an RN, one is RESPONSIBLE for one’s patient’s. DUH! That is something you learn in school. My preceptor didn’t tell me??? What a lame excuse. Does she have to...

2. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   Actually, more likely the local moron brothers getting into over a football game and one shot the other in the gut. I was very burnt out OR nurse and also not a Christian when I was called in for such as that, and jerk-boy had the audacity to c/o tha...

3. You know you've been a nurse for way too long when...

   Reborn replied to jalvino1's topic in General Nursing

   These a few a little more tongue in cheek (maybe ) You advocate airiel spraying of prozac. You are able to identify the postive teeth-to-tattoo ratio. You think a Xanax "salt-lick" should be put in the waiting room. You ever wanted to hold a seminar...

4. *rant* "Nurse" at office answering questions.

   Reborn replied to FrumDoula's topic in Ob/Gyn

   Ditto NC. But it is a problem. The CNA's in home health or even the personal care aides, which in some companies are simply OFF THE STREET help , just LOVE to call themselves nurses. I'm not even really too polite, I just say, "you mean Nurse's aide?...

5. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

   Reborn replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

   I agree too, that this is usually a good thing. Except when you get a couple of brain surgeons who think they are para-gods like my sis did after she delivered at home COMPLETELY unattended. When 911 arrived they want to separate my sis and niece say...

6. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

   Reborn replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

   Oh yes, we are definitely obligated, not only legally but ethically, (notice I didn't say morally, can't impose our own moral standard on anyone else, right?) to report suspected abuse, but as defined by law, not of our own judgement. That's why I...

7. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

   Reborn replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

   On this I totally agree. I did correctional nursing for 4 yrs and the prison's are full of the results of this kind of "background", caused by the parents "lifestyle choices" and "parenting styles". But as to the drawing lines, well, if there are n...

8. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

   Reborn replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

   Yes, there are many different "groups" of people with different "lifestyles" all across the country who are living on welfare and medicaid dollars paid in by those of us that work and care for them. But if we condone a society of political correctnes...

10. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    Reborn replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    What IS it about then? AzMic: You asked about giving up my God. I really didn't read the question of the original post or the one I was asked as such. But even if so, no, nothing puts me off on the job, number one, becuase it's my job, period. I am...

11. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    Reborn replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    I guess we posted at about the same time, while I was expanding my last post. Thank you for asking my opinion. Well, I have never really thought about that question from the POV you ask. I have always felt most people ask that because they are so h...

12. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions

    Reborn replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    Most people? Sorry, but how do you figure that? Isn't that your own opinion? Why project what you think on "most people". Sorry, but I find that offensive. And you know what else? This whole thread is pretty ridiculous. You all that have been posting...

15. CPR after rigor mortis

    Reborn replied to HealinghandsRN's topic in Geriatric

    As unbelievable as it is, I actually saw this in a 200 bed hospital. It was on the med-surg floor, and buddy roe's head nor feet would not touch the bed when the bed was flattened, from being in a hi-fowler's dead for ????(how long????who knows) :sma...
