  1. Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    djh123 replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    OK, here's one that's not from nursing, but is funny (at least to me), and fits into the 'telling on yourself, if you dare...' for sure. I haven't admitted this to anyone except a friend or two, and...

  2. Pet Peeve Friday

    djh123 replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    EVERY TIME I call a particular doctor I occasionally have to call, her voice mailbox is

    That was a laugh on top of a laugh - '... the cats all became alarmed and ran off!'. This thread is

  5. Questioning a doctors order

    djh123 replied to MrsJt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Don't get too discouraged too quickly. No one has ever told me not to question a doctor's (or NP's) order, and most people SHOULD operate on the 'there are no stupid questions' principle in this...

  6. What Is the Problem???

    djh123 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Wow. I (usually) have 20 people, have to pass meds, check several diabetics 2x per shift, multiple wound cares, have to enter orders, order meds, f/u w/pharmacy sometimes, call doctors, do the...

    I haven't even read 1/2 of the comments on this thread, but as someone else said, it's the Best. Thread.

  8. Would you call an ambulance?

    djh123 replied to halohg's topic in School

    I feel the same way about MANY things these days. 'Everything' is over-done, over-investigated, over-documented. Yeah, sometimes things need to be done, but this didn't seem to be one of those times...

  9. Would you call an ambulance?

    djh123 replied to halohg's topic in School

    Ahh, I should've guessed that, but since autism isn't in my patient population, it's not an acronym I

  11. Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    djh123 replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I thought about starting a new thread on this, but nah, it's not a mistake I made - but clearly, someone at the pharmacy we get meds from was uh, kind of asleep or mega-distracted... unless this...

  12. Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    djh123 replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Reminds me of when I went to see an uncle in a cardiac unit several years ago. He told me that he'd been really constipated, and that he practically made them give him 2 different laxatives. Then he...

  13. Orders from hell...

    djh123 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    I had an order from an intern one time that was something like "Tylenol 650 mg PO". What, continuously? Any ol' time I feel like it? Every

  14. Orders from hell...

    djh123 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but they (the wound care clinic) know he's in a LTC facility, not at home with Aunt Gertrude doing his wound

  15. Manipulating Glucometer?

    djh123 replied to lreddick's topic in General Nursing

    I don't see how it would be possible to manipulate it to show a LOW #. As I've posted before on here, though, even a tiny bit of food/drink residue on a finger can make the # falsely

    djh123 replied to nursesaysay's topic in General Nursing

    I'd ALWAYS rather be off work - but not 'sitting at home'. Well, *some* of the time, sure, but not all. There are a lot of things you can do, even with crutches & then the special

  17. Injection Gone Wrong: Part 1

    djh123 replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    Very interested to read more. Someone where I work gave one to me that was too high, but it was just a bit sore for a day or two - nothing like the problems described

  18. Tell on yourself, if you dare...

    djh123 replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Hilarious! Thanks. The ghost of Peter Sellers is chuckling

    djh123 replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    I was a student doing a L&D clinical day, it was real early in the morning, and I removed an IV from the young mom's hand, and uh, oh YEAH, WAIT - gotta have a compress to hold on that thing for a...

    djh123 replied to audreysmagic's topic in General Nursing

    Similar to your mistake, when someone asked me for a staple remover one time, I almost gave them a remove-from-stapled-papers staple remover from the nurse's station

  23. Orders from hell...

    djh123 replied to Leonardo Del Toro's topic in General Nursing

    Can't believe I haven't thought of mention this 'til now. Several of us have talked about a ridiculously-explicit and insulting order from a wound care clinic. It says, among other things, to wash...

  24. Teachers who frequently check their temperatures

    djh123 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    That seems weirder to me than some of my co-workers who want me to check their blood glucose now and then. Or they'll check their own BP at my station. Or maybe they're just hotheads, eh?
