    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    That's also a good idea and I for sure would. Edit: Oh and that's why I'm asking on how to say it. I want them to understand it's not because I don't want to help it's because I want them to be able...

  2. How do *you* tell your patient "No"?

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    I dunno. Because I'd be their nurse and I want to be helpful. I'm not saying no just to say it. It's because I don't want to enable them. And I want to do more then just tell them that. Meh. I

  10. Need a second opinion...

    anonymous1919 replied to CurlsGoneWildStudent's topic in General Students

    I think you did the right thing. Although helping residents in every way you can is important, taking them to the bathroom is not your job. If you are super swamped and there is a CNA available, they...
