    Low HR

    wooh replied to joe007's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    He's been back and isn't dead because you discharged him? Knowing nothing else about the situation, I wouldn't worry further about it. In the future, if you're concerned, you can always ask...

    Nurses desensitized to death?

    wooh replied to Meeny's topic in General Nursing

    Nope. No longer humane. Once I saw a few patients die, I started torturing kittens for

    Who's for banning rotating shifts?

    wooh replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    The funny thing is, night nurses might not WORK rotating shifts, but many of them live rotating shifts anyway. How many night nurses actually sleep during the day and stay up nights on their off...

    Can parents give medically fragile kids meds w/o Dr. order in homecare?

    wooh replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Aspirating pedisasure is just as bad as aspirating home brew. Lungs don't say, "Oh, it's pediasure, that's ok!" And if it was clogging the g-tube, the g-tube would be clogged. Is the g-tube

    What the hell kind of advice do you want? We need to eat lunch. If you actually want advice, then don't respond to advice given like

    Are married women bullied less at work?

    Are married women bullied less at work?

    wooh replied to EmilyEmily's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think no matter what your marital status, you are going to perceive yourself as being bullied. Your posts are overwhelmingly about being victimized. You need to take a hard look at YOU instead of...

    Are married women bullied less at work?

    wooh replied to EmilyEmily's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just ask them to work an extra shift instead.

    At least she IS a nurse. Perhaps you should actually get through a nursing program BEFORE you deem yourself the arbiter on who should and should not be a

    Young nurse problems?

    wooh replied to tiffnurse21's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I doubt it's because you're young, but rather because you're new (and just over a year is still "new.") Even when I'm not in charge, I check in with the newer nurses. (There's lots of them since I...

    Narcotic administration times

    wooh replied to _meow's topic in Patient Medications

    To avoid this problem, unless I think it's sure to knock the patient out, or they've been doing 1 tablet for a couple doses and it's working well, I encourage them to go ahead and take two tabs. But...

    Blacklisted by your Nursing School?

    wooh replied to PolishGirlRN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You don't have a "right" to a letter of recommendation. You have to be careful who you associate with. You can keep trying to get letters, but being a part of a group that did unprofessional things,...

    Is it legal to give a friend insulin before meals?

    wooh replied to mommasgirls's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    Legal yes. Smart no. ESPECIALLY if the mother is a crazy over-protective control freak that won't let a 14 year old do their own

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    wooh replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Fat and have outlived Karen Carpenter. So at least one skinny person I'm healthier than. But I guess a few here would rather have gotten their health advice from her based solely on

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    wooh replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Because apparently their grades aren't as important. OP seems to expect everyone in the room to cater to his/her pet peeves that cause him/her to be unable to concentrate. Even if that means that...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    wooh replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    And perhaps you have a strange scent or tap your foot or do something that annoys those students when they are trying to focus on work that their grade depends on. YOU having a problem focusing is...

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wooh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    It would be comparable if NPs were lobbying to be called "physicians." If a medical assistant or nurse aid wants to be called "Dr. Name Here" because they have a doctorate degree, then they should...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    wooh replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    Technically speaking, it's still annoying. So I find it rude. Much like OP finds eating in class annoying, and thus rude. We all have our pet peeves. If OP can call us rude for violating his/hers,...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    wooh replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    So you're saying it might be irrational to repeatedly call it rude behavior? But I'm sure OP would NEVER do anything that some might irrationally find to be

    Nurses are Not Doctors

    wooh replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I assumed you were a pre-med student. Most of the physicians that I know come across as being much better educated. Of course, I work with some good ones. Good enough they don't need to feel...

    Do you think eating in the classroom is rude?

    wooh replied to Alnitak7's topic in General Students

    I snack during lectures because I need help staying awake. I've learned that my pet peeves are MINE. Instead of trying to change others, I just remember there's something I do that annoys someone...
