    Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    SoldierNurse22 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient who referred to NS as "Celine", as in, Dion. Regardless of how many times I correctly said "saline", she never did get

    Moral Distress and Patient Advocacy

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Reem Azhari's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Absolutely--you're right. The leadership isn't simply cowed; it's often complicit in the problem, especially when it comes to retaliation. I'm glad to hear you're researching this. I've seen this...

    Co-Workers' Harsh Words

    SoldierNurse22 replied to laKrugRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This might be one of those things that takes some time to get over. People have such potential to influence each other. It's easy to wax eloquent about it, but people (myself included at times!)...

    Moral Distress and Patient Advocacy

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Reem Azhari's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Who has more autonomy?

    If one is treated for MRSA, are they still contagious?

    SoldierNurse22 replied to beachmom's topic in General Nursing

    MRSA is resistant to methicillin, a very high-powered antibiotic. It's difficult to cure MRSA because of this drug resistance. Per the Mayo clinic: http://www.cdc.gov/mrsa/healthcare/index.html...

    Military Nursing

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Lunah's topic in Government, Military

    Don't worry--they'll get in touch with you when you're least expecting it. Like during a busy shift change when you're wondering "how the heck did they get the phone number to my ward?" as you're...

    To those without a 4.0 (rant)

    SoldierNurse22 replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To echo what RNsRWe said, my college also had a waiting list. From speaking with my classmates, it was quickly determined that no one with anything lower than a 3.7 got in. Bs in prereqs were a...

    Wanting to write a letter to teachers.....help

    SoldierNurse22 replied to QAPIQUEEN's topic in School

    I'm assuming the letter you're writing is en masse? As in, not personalized to each teacher? I'd keep it simple and introduce yourself, perhaps give some background on when you graduated and your...

    redirecting to old threads

    SoldierNurse22 replied to OnlinePersona's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a notorious redirector, AKA "thread police". If I have the time, sometimes I'll do the search and include a ton of the resulting links in my post. Other times, I'll simply explain the search...

    How would you handle this situation?

    You need to write her up, however that looks officially in your organization. People like this get away with things because they intimidate people. Do not be intimidated. You are the professional...
