  4. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Phase2Pro replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The reason those patients are not in pain and you are is this...they had a camera shoved up their butt and you had your face peeled down and pulled back up. Plastic surgery hurts a lot...colonoscopy...

  5. Having trouble starting IVs on the hand

    Phase2Pro replied to CaliLVN3583's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand "floating it in" either, and I've been doing IVs for almost 20 years. Are you saying once you get a flash to withdraw the needle, hook it up to the saline and then continue to...

    Phase2Pro replied to chickadeepie's topic in Virginia Nursing

  10. Can anyone tell me?

    Phase2Pro posted a topic in General Nursing

    Why one of the nurses I work with seems to not want to be on record in the pixis? She always asks someone else to get meds for her patients regardless of how busy we are. I can't quite figure it...

  11. Can anyone tell me?

    Phase2Pro replied to Phase2Pro's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, I would never do that. When I withdraw a med for a patient, I give that med myself. I never hand off a med, ever. That is part of the irritation...I am doing my work and her work too. I did...

  14. Do doctors really yell at you, and get away with it?

    Phase2Pro replied to copyandpaste's topic in General Nursing

    Phase2Pro replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Phase2Pro replied to Angel@MyTable's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry for your loss. It is normal that you have distanced yourself. Some of the distancing is to allow you to cope and go on living your life and some of it is just because of the crap you...
