  2. Annoyed, venting, am I too sensitive?

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I don't care that I didn't get credit for my find. I just don't like how the charge nurse charted about it. How she charted it made it sound as if I was the one giving the patient the red food...

  5. Am I over-thinking, or are these just bad test questions?

    anonymous1919 replied to chicken1's topic in General Students

    Although none of those questions are worded that well IMO... nursing is all gray areas. There is never a 100% correct answer, you just have to choose the one that is the "most correct". Question #1:...

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    anonymous1919 replied to Karla.S's topic in General Nursing

    anonymous1919 replied to rn_nxt_dr's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Yes this is "real world" nursing. It's not perfect, and it doesn't matter whether you are in LTC or A Big Name Hospital. If you can't cope with that fact get out of nursing. Calling the Ombudsman did...

    anonymous1919 replied to cawkazn's topic in General Nursing

  17. Skin Prep- waste of time?

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Actually none of my patients who currently have skin preps bid to heels are diabetic. It seems like they just choose at random who needs it tbh! Only *some* of my bedridden patients have

  18. Skin Prep- waste of time?

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in General Nursing

    Some are very mobile, some bedridden. Maybe it's not so much the skin prep that is important but more of the massaging/stimulation going on when putting on the skin prep? That's about the only thing...

    anonymous1919 posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  23. I feel out of the loop.

    anonymous1919 replied to anonymous1919's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with you, it doesn't make sense. Honestly- I am brand new. I sort of think that the charge nurse doesn't tell me a lot because "it doesn't make a difference" (it does, I feel like he doesnt...
