  1. I can't confide with my head nurse...

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

    Thank you for this point of view. I've always thought that I'm doing my colleagues a favor by not having them mind me. I thought it was effective as they don't look miserable at

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

    Unprofessional is an understatement. I guess it's time to let

  3. The Old Problem of Systolic Blood Pressure

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I wasn't sure if it's okay to post this on the many old threads regarding blood pressures... It is the question of what should be the systolic BP the first sound or the first loudest sound...

  4. The Old Problem of Systolic Blood Pressure

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    Well, he is on hemodialysis. It was my first time to see a sudden decrease so I was wondering if it was really a sudden decrease in blood pressure. I measured using an adult cuff for my geriatric...

  5. The Old Problem of Systolic Blood Pressure

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't take the 60/40 BP, another nurse did. I just happened to finish my endorsement. Is it common for blood pressures to drop from 130 something to

  6. Are you so busy that you don't get a lunch break?

    hazyblue replied to cashew1's topic in General Nursing

    Lunch break? There was a time that I was so busy I peed on my pants at work. Sorry too much information but I think I needed to tell to forget. And I was so busy that even if I had pee on my pants, I...

  7. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

    hazyblue posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What's a better word for suck? :? So I was wondering if anyone here has/had told their head nurse or charge nurse or supervisor or manager that they are awful? What's your story? Is such a thing all...

  8. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

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

    I know. And it's for their own good. Seriously. @ diva_rn Well, I'm most certainly not from an Arabic country and that is the kind of country I'm currently in :) I do have language problems and I...

  9. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

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

    By the way, I am not blaming her alone. I also blame myself. So before anyone of you say things along the line of me washing my hands regarding the situation again, please remember I don't blame her...

  10. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

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

    *sigh* "Your responsibility alone", I don't know how your world works for you people but no man is an island. You can't expect someone to ask questions about something they have no idea about. Are you...

  11. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

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

    @ nerdtonurse? [/url] 1.) i tried that but they taught me different things and occasionally they were scolded by my head nurse because she thinks i should learn things one by one. 2.) for your...

  12. Telling your head nurse that they...uhh.., sabotaging new staff?

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

    @ Altra and Whispera I know that learning is a two way process but just as Whispera said I think I'm too emotional to talk about things. And I can see that I'm "likely to be seen as someone who just...

  13. Feel like i don't know my PT.

    hazyblue replied to Datu's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think I know how you are feeling in a way. In my case I underestimated cultural differences and language differences. Apparently knowing the global language of English isn't enough. I'm currently...

  14. Controlling Vascular Access Bleeding

    hazyblue posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hello everyone. I just want to ask what is the proper way of compressing a bleeding vein. Any other tips of how to control bleeding? I'm new to fistulas and grafts and have spilled lots of blood of...

  15. Controlling Vascular Access Bleeding

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Thank you all. I think I've improved in a way. *sigh* I just want to confirm another subject (still related to bleeding). Today I saw blood coming out of the base of the subclavian access of my...

  16. Controlling Vascular Access Bleeding

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Ugh, I feel so stupid... Is using three fingers/compressing a wide area? Last time my patient bleed for about twenty minutes? I sort of notice yesterday that too firm of a hold is bad. I'll check next...

    Good day. I'm just wondering about specialization programs for nurses in the Philippines. I've been searching the net for answers but it's hard to find much content. I want to know if these programs...

  19. Nursing Specialization in the Philippines

    hazyblue replied to hazyblue's topic in International Nursing

    ^ Do you pay for the training program or do they pay you? What's the scope of the training?

  20. Finally! Will this be the end of our woes?

    hazyblue replied to Yunazure's topic in International Nursing

    I wish they could also find more jobs for us...making volunteering free is good but thing could be better. > I hate having to pay. I missed the opportunity of open hiring at nearby tertiary...

  21. Hospitals in Metro Manila Currently Hiring Nurse Applicants

    hazyblue replied to burbeestar's topic in Philippines

    I don't think they prioritized those with 1 year experience because I have that and an IVT license but I never got a call. And I passed my requirements earlier than others too. I wonder what wrong...

  22. New thread that will lead us to New job and trainings

    hazyblue replied to Nurse_ian's topic in Philippines

    Fabella?! Is that exam for a staff nurse position?! I've always wanted to work at Fabella but I didn't pursue it because I live far away. And when my want increased, I heard last last year that they...

  23. Can a shy student become an effective nurse?

    hazyblue replied to sunshine5889's topic in General Students

    I happen to be shy too. I just go and throw myself (not literally of course) to my patients. Sometimes I even forget about my shyness thanks to work pressure/responsibilities. I am not less of a nurse...

  24. *wanting to slap the hospital admins*

    hazyblue posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just have to vent. I hope I'm on the right venting zone. I hate it how inconsiderate the administration, in our hospital, can be to its nursing department. I'll take it that they passed the...

    hazyblue replied to nursey2008's topic in International Nursing

    So they are doing that the whole shift? ...talking in their native tongue? I'm glad I read this thread. Being a loner and having hailed from a multi-lingual family (whose parents never bothered to...
