    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to respond to your post like eating an elephant, Daisy. Again, I beg to differ, Daisy. Jason Hiney was part of the middle management team at one time, and he said, "We really wanted you to...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the "them needing you more than you needing them" part, however my brother-in-arms, Rooty Payne disagrees. Rooty is the only one, outside of Rita and Mia, that knows what's going on and...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    You have said, Hoosier, in two lines that make up this whole shebang. Patient safety is the priority and it has been compromised by a arrogant rogue's behavior. And, in an underlying way, I'm...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I am glad you too are loving this Daisy, and as I requested of TriciaJ, request the same of you as to why. The DAISY award was signed by the chief quality control officer, its reason for being...

    Thank you, TriciaJ. I hold your opinion in high esteem. Now: Please tell me why you are "loving this" so we can trade

    Leaving beside. New job advice?

    Davey Do replied to Coffeelover's topic in General Nursing

    First let me compliment your well-written post, Coffeelover. I truly enjoy reading posts like yours where I can allow my eyes to flow over the words and take in the information with ease. Geriatric...

    Reported for a swear

    Davey Do replied to Dawwn's topic in General Nursing

    This is a very gray area, Dawwn: You admit to stating a profanity, but it was not directed at the patient. I had something of a similar case back in the early 90's- saying something deemed as...

    Unemployment and Pool position

    Davey Do replied to 005mnurse's topic in General Nursing

    What great advice, Elaine! When I looked up information about unemployment benefit, the website mentioned the actual offices were closed due to the recent

    Unemployment and Pool position

    Davey Do replied to 005mnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Your benefits are based on the amount of money you make in certain time periods, Melanie, for example, per quarter. The employer actually pays the unemployment benefits, which is one of the good...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, TriciaJ and Daisy for you continued input and support. I believe that I've pretty well made up my mind that I'm just going to give Wrongway an ultimatum. If they accept it, which they...

    A Mannequin in my Room!

    Davey Do posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was charge nurse Saturday night and was walking down the hall in the wee hours of the morning to compliment an LPN on her charting when a patient, Dobbs, came out of his room and asked, "Why is...

    Monday to Friday life... what's it like?

    Davey Do replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    "Monday comes dawning, the world wakes up yawning And Friday seems so far away" (from a song by the Statler Brothers) Once I left the mainstream 9 to 5 dayshift world, I felt like Columbus. MNs are...

    A Mannequin in my Room!

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    And thank you, LibraNurse, for such a lovely post! When it's all said and done, it all comes down to a matter of technique. As you said, LibraNurse, "providing de-escalation and reorientation to the...

    Mickey Weird

    "You can't get someone in more trouble than they can gt themselves into."- Edgar Cayce I try to follow that line of reasoning, and in most cases, found it to be true. Like the case of Mickey Weird....

    Mickey Weird

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    In my heart of hearts, I do not believe that Mickey Weird, unlike Clark in the "Disrespect & Profanity" thread, is malicious in her intent. I believe, as a result of attempts to direct her, that...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I'm rethinking this position. I don't believe I should have to accept further work assignments until my concerns are validated and addressed and I am reasonably sure that I will be working in a safe,...

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for that seque, Mary. I believe I shall: I worked last night with Jason Hiney, RN with whom I think highly. We had an elderly female patient with dementia who believed, and proclaimed,...

    Nursing in the REAL world

    Davey Do replied to Ebenitez's topic in General Nursing

    Hello, Ebenitez! We're talking over 37 years ago, but I felt and believed that both the LPN and RN nursing programs were rather well organized. It seems to me that the programs gave me the basics of...

    I mentioned your comment to Jason Hiney RN the other night, Hoosier. Jason is aware of no family connection, aside from an uncle of Clark who has an an administrative HR position at another local...

    Mickey Weird

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    The geriatric psych unit has heavy, hard plastic box-shaped bedside tables in the patient rooms. Mickey Weird was sitting on a 1:1 with a psychotic patient when I gave the patient, who was sitting on...

    Disrespect & Profanity

    Davey Do replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    I was discussing this whole Clark debacle with Jason Hiney RN tonight. It seems Jason attempted to lovingly guide Clark by saying something like, "Just stay away from Dave". After the shift report...

    Non-medical friend avoiding me

    I don't understand. Why chase after someone who obviously doesn't want to have a relationship? "I refuse to join any club that would have me as a member."-Groucho
