  1. Nurse chatting/dating patient

    enchantmentdis replied to springgarden's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A really "intelligent" and compassionate nurse--oh, everyone raved about how bright and kind she was--that i worked with several years ago fell in love with her patient. He was in the hospital after...

  2. I JUST NEED TO VENT!!!

    enchantmentdis replied to blackscrubs's topic in School

    Makes me wish i had gone into school nursing years ago instead of spend 16 years in med-surg with adult

  3. I screwed up!

    enchantmentdis replied to nankie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Is she ashamed of having a baby via IVF, not the good old fashioned way? She wouldn't want her friend to know such a hideous secret? What a drama queen!! Sounds like her pregnancy hormones got the...

  4. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    enchantmentdis replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    It is nearly impossible to get unemployment after being fired. They will ask you the nature of your dismissal from the job and you can't lie, because the state will contact your human resources...

  5. Demerol 75 mg was given IV instead of IM. Fired!!!

    enchantmentdis replied to mirtesen's topic in General Nursing

    The error is a HUGE misconduct. Just because this pt this time did not suffer because of your mistake doesn't mean that a pt could not have been affected gravely. There is a big difference between...

  6. Man, you guys make nursing seem HORRIBLE! If I knew this before school...

    enchantmentdis replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Because they want the money that the hapless student shells out to become a nurse. If they let you know that it is mind-numbing, back-breaking, cut-throat, gritty work then no one would pay the money...

  7. An upset elderly patient...

    enchantmentdis replied to caregiver1977's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Most likely the doctor is not involved. Your aunt probably has a doctor who is assigned to that particular nursing home. It's good that she gets along with her roommate. Sounds like the doctor did...

  8. An upset elderly patient...

    enchantmentdis replied to caregiver1977's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If i were the doctor i would not have gone back in. Sounded like the patient needed some cooling down time and to wrap her head around the nursing home idea. The doctor probably referred the manner to...

    enchantmentdis replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  11. Lost my cool

    enchantmentdis replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did great. However, even if you do apologize tomorrow this lady probably will still lodge a complaint about you to management and you know how management is. People are awfully sneaky and...

  12. in a difficult situation with "natural med" friend

    enchantmentdis replied to anon456's topic in General Nursing

    If you remain this person's friend eventually you will be going to her child's funeral. Report her first to the authorities and then never speak to her again. She deserves it for being so stupid and...

  13. burned out

    enchantmentdis replied to damaskblue's topic in General Nursing

    I hear ya. I did hospice for another agency for only 8 months, as a case manager--it was all paper charting and i spent the majority of my time doing admissions and reams and reams of paperwork from...

  14. burned out

    enchantmentdis replied to damaskblue's topic in General Nursing

    Move over to hospice. Many have computer documentation. Hospice case management is pretty involved and you might have 5-7 patients to see per day. However, on call five days per week is...

  15. Why is it everyone's favorite?

    enchantmentdis replied to KareBear0609's topic in General Students

    More respect from the doctors? Less poop? Being able to keep away irritating family members in these specialty areas? High turnover, without the heavy paper work of admissions and discharges. ER can...

    enchantmentdis replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    enchantmentdis replied to jessi1106's topic in General Nursing

    To rude family member, who cussed me out while following me to my car: Follow me and i'll call the cops. Back

  20. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    enchantmentdis replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If CNAs are doing ekgs, vitals , blood draws, etc then they need promotions, better pay, and a title change. How are they able to do all their bathes and feedings while doing accuchecks? No cna has...

  21. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    enchantmentdis replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The CNAs i've worked with have enjoyed having me around because they said, "wow, you help out a lot". They just have no idea what i really think, because i keep my attitude in check while i am at...

  22. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    enchantmentdis replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You are the bomb EMT and VERY brave! I'm sure you will be flamed, but who cares. So well said, i'm rolling on the floor laughing and need to change my underwear! This is the BEST post i've ever...

  23. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    enchantmentdis replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Right. They either don't want to, can't, or won't do

  24. Nurse's aides are running the the floor.

    enchantmentdis replied to sprout2010's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Because of precisely the problems with CNAs and management the OP described is the number one reason why i preferred primary care over a mixed floor, and eventually left acute care altogether. I would...
