  1. I. Just. Can't....

    dudette10 replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And thank god for

  2. It's Wrong! (A night shift perspective)

    dudette10 replied to Sixtyseven's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    They do it because they are afraid that if they don't, they've caused a loved one's death. I know that because of a heated discussion with my husband regarding his mother, who is 86 years old, is a...

  3. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    dudette10 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I need to take a **** about five times a day. If I decide to squat in the emergency stairwell, then I'll just stomp and whine when someone calls me out on it, because it's a basic need that I should...

  4. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    dudette10 replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    For school, I just printed out two articles. One is on patients' perception of safety--what makes them feel safe in nursing. The other is oncology patients' perception of a good nurse. Here are the...

  5. The ethics of cost for cure vs noncompliance.

    dudette10 replied to dudette10's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting viewpoints, and as in most ethical situations, there really isn't a "right" or "wrong" answer...there's just an answer that more people are ok with. I don't know the answer myself, but...

  6. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    dudette10 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This thread is a riot! Lots and lots of misunderstandings among posters. A'right. No one said sex is a dirty thing. There is a time and place for everything, and it's my belief that in acute care...

  7. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    dudette10 replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Ew. It's like having sex in a public bathroom. Just

  8. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    dudette10 replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This reminded me of something that happened the other day. I walked into my patient's room, and the phlebotomist is in there trying to find a vein. I look over, and the floor is covered in ice and...

  9. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    dudette10 replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for this. I don't know you, I wasn't your nurse, but your appreciation for my sisterhood lifted MY spirits. Just thank

  10. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    dudette10 replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see what you are saying, but I consider teamwork a part of the job. That's why I'm finding it hard to qualify "above and

  11. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    dudette10 replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I haven't even read the responses, but my first thought was, "Who comes up with this

  12. What is bullying then?

    dudette10 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It seems like the word is verboten 'round these parts. Yeah, getting your feathers ruffled isn't bullying. Sometimes, when things are described on this board, it's just occasional rudeness by...

  13. Starting to find some aspects degrading

    dudette10 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can make a turkey sandwich with one hand and do chest compressions with the other. I don't know what y'all are whining

  14. More Examples of posting on Facebook and getting fired

    dudette10 replied to RNIBCLC's topic in General Nursing

    She was being hyperbolic in her frustration over the continued rioting. I don't think she actually meant it literally. I'm with klone and wooh here. When my kids have done something incredibly stupid,...

  15. Nurse sleeping with coworker

    dudette10 replied to mommasgirls's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Talk to her, if she's really your friend. If she gets upset about the truth of her situation and "de-friends" you, she wasn't much of a friend to begin

  16. Nursing student lacking passion?

    dudette10 replied to misskate098's topic in General Students

    I think work ethic is under-rated in nursing compared to a passion for nursing. If you're committed to doing a good job--and everything that phrase entails, from critical-thinking to advocacy to...

    dudette10 replied to Lvuv's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    The answer: fainting couches. Stylish AND

  18. What is bullying then?

    dudette10 replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thank you for your thoughts, McLennan, but I'm not sure they relate to my OP.

  19. Denial Back Into program

    dudette10 replied to natkoz82's topic in General Students

    Sometimes, as hard as you work, one's grades are just not up to snuff for certain pursuits. Most schools have two strike policies in which you can fail one class and retake it, but if you fail a...

  20. The real reason your failing in school

    dudette10 replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    I hate parsing out another's post, but you said that even with bad teachers, the material to study still exists. That particular line in your original post was what I based my response on. Just having...

  21. Opportunities to volunteer abroad for students?

    dudette10 replied to ShelbyaStar's topic in General Students

    Usually, volunteer opportunities organized by schools come under the term "service learning." My school did it on a local, national, and international level. I took part in the local level during my...

  22. Accelerated Program Jitters

    dudette10 replied to iammargarita19's topic in General Students

    Accelerated programs can be killers with no breaks to speak of and concentrated classes during summers. I went to one. I remember at the end of the third out of four semesters, just standing in my...

  23. The real reason your failing in school

    dudette10 replied to studentmalenurse's topic in General Students

    Interesting concept, but I don't agree completely. If this was 100% true, why have teachers at all for adult learners? All we would need would be a textbook and the Internet. We could all seek out...

  24. You will not learn anything in the conference room!

    dudette10 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Why are you there then? Do NOT hole up in the conference room with your classmates. Please! Answer call bells, help toilet patients, pass or gather trays. If you are paired with me, you WILL learn...

  25. All Men Shift

    dudette10 replied to kalevra's topic in Men in Nursing

    Are you dense? You just don't get how mean-spirited toward your female co-workers you really are. *whine* I just wanted to *whine* you know, share the bromance *whine* without having the fit-throwing,...
