    Difficulty with coworker

    Davey Do replied to CommunityRNBSN's topic in General Nursing

    "It is your responsibility to submit these pre-authorizations. You will need to deal with the ramifications of your inactions if you do not fulfill the duties of your job." I have this sort of spiel...

    Sent STUPID email "joke": what now?

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

    I do the same sort of thing you do, Zuzu- say what I really feel in an email and then edit it for appropriateness before it's addressed and sent. However, I put fictitious names in the email and...

    Joint Commission and Ligature Points

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

    I do believe this was one of the nails I drove into my own coffin as a home health agency nursing supervisor back in '94. I challenged JC surveyors when they wanted certain guidelines. I don't recall...

    And The Reason Nurses Don't Get Fired

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

    LOTS of situations will come to mind eventually, but here's one: Brand new nurse at WRMC refused to work the floor or sit on a 1:1 on MN geriatric psych shift. The only other position was that of the...

    Joint Commission and Ligature Points

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

    Ouch, TriciaJ. We had a patient referred to the geriatric psych unit by a therapist because he wrapped toilet paper around his neck and planned to hang himself. They do make Ultra Strong Charmin...

    Joint Commission and Ligature Points

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

    No, Calico, psych does not have bedside report. Just the opposite. A short time ago, the geriatric psych nurses station was open; merely a counter separated the nurses station from the hall. It has...

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

    Or, TriciaJ, "Hospital Administration Stupidity". Two decent RNs who were staff nurses were promoted to the position of house supervisor. I swear- both are now making decisions as stupid as the rest...

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

    You know, the Walmart greeter idea came up in discussions with other rationale staff members with senses of humor, Daisy. There's just one problem with it- Walmart greeters are probably not ready to...

    Joint Commission and Ligature Points

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

    The viewing of a situation will yield a consensual perspective of reality by rationale individuals. In other words, Daisy, you're not missing a thing. I've briefed through all the posts and I want to...

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

    Doncha just love it when a perspective is consensual with others whose logic is based in reality? I know of no successful suicides that ever occurred in a community room at WRMC, TriciaJ. Two...

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

    Migod man, you're a genius! WRMC staff have come up with several alternative interventions, like: At night, move the chairs to the conference room which has a locking door. I don't understand the 24/7...

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

    There are several circumstances where I have found my art to be prophetic. One such case occurred here on allnurses with the cartoon caption contest. I heard about the Joint Commission ligature thing...

    Gender Separation and Nursing for American Muslim Man

    Davey Do replied to wannabenurseman77's topic in Men in Nursing

    I am not Muslim and maybe can help you out just a bit, wannabenurseman. Even after working in the medical field for 40 years, I am hesitant to do anything with a female patient who doesn't feel...

    Does size matter (Gloves nurses, gloves!)

    Davey Do replied to guest825264's topic in General Nursing

    Should I divorce my husband

    Davey Do replied to gonzo1's topic in General Nursing

    Dear gonzo, No, you should not divorce your husband. As much as you feel like you'd like to deck him, he is a card and you're just going to have to deal with him. Davey (Dear Abby)
