    Application process

    Davey Do replied to Dyanandmishael's topic in General Nursing

    Sour Lemon! LM NY! Dyanandmishael asked a valid question and has not been given a valid answer! I apologize for my co-members' inadequate, albeit entertaining, answers, Dyanandmishael. Go to the big...

    Pyxis Problems

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

    Thank you all for your replies and I really mean that, because if I didn't say, "I really mean that", I really wouldn't mean it. You've given me a couple ideas for comics, but alas, it's Friday...

    S & M Nurses

    Davey Do posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm not talking about, as Steve Martin quipped, "Spanish and Mexicans", but those who find pleasure in inflicting and receiving pain- sadists and masochists- S & Ms. I'm attempting to get my head...

    What's the funniest nursing superstition you've ever heard? Do you believe it?

    Davey Do replied to guest1048932's topic in Nursing Humor

    Just last week, a former patient called to tell me that they had an epiphany and would not be back. I wished the patient well and they asked me if I would tell some other nurses of our conversation....

    Moving from LTC to the hospital

    Davey Do replied to Lovejday1's topic in General Nursing

    I say "Amen!" to Sour Lemon's post. Competent LTC nurses seem to have their priorities in interventions and time management down to an art. Now, I'm speaking predominately from a geriatric psych...

    Weird Interview!?

    Davey Do replied to Daisy4RN's topic in General Nursing

    If there were some condition that would cause her to behave abnormally, in a polite society, it needs to be said. Proclaiming a deviation from typical behavior would put the other person, in this case...

    S & M Nurses

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

    Interesting perspective, TriciaJ. I agree with it to the point that the types bleed over into each other making their traits like a watercolor painting. Both S & M treat others, both coworkers...

    Written Up

    Davey Do replied to medteleER's topic in General Nursing

    A rule of thumb I use with any controlled meds when the order is unclear: Separate by an hour. Patients will come in on different controlled substances and say, "I take them all at once at home!" I...

    Stop Calling It Burnout

    Davey Do replied to Katillac's topic in General Nursing

    I hesitate and look askance whenever I hear that there's a blanket label blame or solution to a situation, as in this case. We have a tendency to label our maladies, such as it is with "moral injury",...

    Give 'Em Enough Rope

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

    I can't argue against your perspective on this one, TriciaJ. It would seem that some managers are capable of manipulating their media, pitting personalities against each other, in order to have a...

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

    With all the due love & respect that I can muster, I beg to differ, TriciaJ. The only other staff member Nurse M gets along well with is Nurse S. Without going into any great detail, the only...

    Davey Do replied to Mary3010's topic in General Nursing

    On the same sort of track, I took a First Aid course in 1977, certified in CPR in 1978 and the as an EMT-B in 1979. I don't think I had any grand plan, but went on to be certified as an NREMT-A in...

    It's interesting how this and another thread are taking a similar path... ...in that some of certain genera, as Jedrnurse mentioned, are immune to being

    And sometimes there seems to be no rhyme or reason to who they will or won't fire. Well, there is that... Eleanor, my work wife, and I were discussing WRMC's practices just the other night. She...
