  1. Nasotracheal Suctioning

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I find it very difficult to reach the trachea. My superior told me that hyperextension of the neck helps and timing suctioning while patients are coughing. However, in my experience, patients are...

  2. Nasotracheal Suctioning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not manipulating the mouth but, if it will help, I would like to know how. The tongue "maneuver" to prevent the client from swallowing the catheter during Nasotracheal Suctioning is posted in the...

  3. Nasotracheal Suctioning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very much guys for coming back and attempting to think of the answer. I appreciate it. Most of our cases are from pneumonia so I guess that's the reason why there's no need for trachs. It's...

  4. Nasotracheal Suctioning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I don't feel comfortable stating the country where I'm currently working. Reading your responses, I just realized that we don't have respiratory therapists in our hospital. And, I just did...

    hazyblue replied to amiss8488's topic in Operating Room

    Oh, a fellow co-worker. Fancy meeting you here. Small world. I work on the 8th floor. xD ...Sorry. I have to make a joke. I can't make jokes in real life because mine aren't funny at all. Back to you,...

  6. Nasotracheal Suctioning

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    My bad. Sorry for suddenly inserting swallowing into my query. Let me rephrase. Basically my problem is that I can't reach the trachea during nasotracheal suctioning. When I do nasotracheal...

  7. Looking for a quick read review on Critical Care Nursing.

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone? Compact books? Concised text? I remember my specialty having one. What does Critical Care nursing have? I'm being transferred and I have no experience, none at all, nursing student experiences...

    hazyblue replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  9. Any advice for quiet introvert people?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Oh. I've been through hell lately that I've forgotten this thread. For those who happen to be here, I have a friendly advice. The advice is don't ever work in a biased/racist/discriminating workplace....

  10. Any advice for quiet introvert people?

    hazyblue posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I need advise on communicating my troubles to my superiors and colleagues. I am not really a verbal person so I could really use some help. I want to say things like the following. 1. I'm sorry if I...

  11. How to Deal with Stress from Moral Dilemma

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Thank you. Sigh, if it only were about working conditions and career-related problems, I'll be less stressed. I also don't like how this job is changing me as a person. As a born and raised Christian,...

  12. How to Deal with Stress from Moral Dilemma

    hazyblue posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm feeling conflicted lately. I want to bash the hell out of my employer (actually not just my employer) and prevent poor nurses from coming here and potentially ruining their lives. Although I'm...

  13. just another third world nurse with thoughts to share

    hazyblue posted a topic in General World

    (Originally the following post was going to be an attempt to cling on to myself or remember whatever is me/was me as a nurse but I suppose it's better off as a message to fellow "third world nurses"...

    I'm　sorry English is not my first language. Anyway forget it. I　don't care anymore. EDIT: Sorry I can't　delete

  15. I forgot that I was supposed to be faking it...

    hazyblue posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's been brought to my attention that I have to step up in the social game of nursing because I'm the undesirable combination of introvert and shy. However after being disrespected once and still...

  16. I forgot that I was supposed to be faking it...

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Let's just say that I am working with some people afflicted with superiority complex. And, I... don't like being stepped on. Most especially if the one stepping on me is smiling while doing so...

  17. Any Tennis Elbow Success Stories?

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    Anyone? I could really use one. I've been diagnosed with tennis elbow and prescribed with pain relief patches. They said there's no need for rest. Given such light treatment people could say I should...

  18. Any Tennis Elbow Success Stories?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    So you good people didn't have to stop working or have to limit heavy work, and your elbows didn't worsen? My colleagues are kind enough to limit my workload but such a thing makes me feel...

  19. Any Tennis Elbow Success Stories?

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, apparently, my post wasn't clear. Point 1: I'm overwhelmed with my tennis elbow. Overwhelmed enough that it may affect my career. Thus, I am looking for people who beat this problem. Point 2: I...

  20. Returning to Nursing After Depression

    hazyblue posted a topic in Retired Nurses

    So, I am planning to return to nursing after battling depression. I'll be starting work in the kind of near future. The thing is I can't help but feel like a rotten version of my former self. A part...

  21. Returning to Nursing After Depression

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Retired Nurses

    I'm quite late in doing this but still, thank you for the responses everyone. It's pretty tiring to always feel guilty and your ideas do help in that matter. The "STOP sign idea" is nice. I have a...

  22. Returning to Nursing After Depression

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Retired Nurses

    The thing is that depression is going to be a life-long battle for me because of things that are too long to mention and too much of an information. However I am in no danger of harming myself or...

  23. Confused with Aspergers

    hazyblue posted a topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Please excuse me for letting my thoughts out here, again. I just feel so much despair and I was just about to recover from my depression... I have always suspected for a long time that I might have a...

  24. First CNA Job, Asperger's Makes Things Tough.

    hazyblue replied to OswinOswald's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Just remember that things get better with experience. If it's not, then it only means you have to have more experience. I have never worked at LTC ever, but I think that in every field of nursing,...

  25. Confused with Aspergers

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Thanks everyone for caring. I posted that message in a really down moment. Maybe I had thought that an official diagnosis/label will help people realize that I am having a really huge problem with...
