    The Unblooper

    Davey Do posted a topic in General Nursing

    In the 60's and 70's, 7up had the Uncola so let's have an Unblooper! An Unblooper is by which actual medical records had documentation which was unrealistic, ludicrous, and sometimes hilarious,...

    Mean and Nice Coworker

    Davey Do replied to NewNurse26's topic in General Nursing

    Worked for years with Fren Bren, CNA/tech, who acted like this- one minute as sweet as pumpkin pie, the next mean as a snake. Diana LPN, a really good nurse who got along with everyone, called Fren...

    Nurse Personality

    Davey Do posted a topic in General Nursing

    Unwillingly or not, we bring our personalities into our duties. We often provide care in a manner in accordance to who we are and what we believe. We learn in nursing school to objectively...

    Unconventional Orientation

    Davey Do posted a topic in General Nursing

    At Wrongway Regional Medical Center, whenever it was requested of me to orient a nurse to the unit that I was working- typically geriatric psych- I mainly had them follow me. I would generally narrate...

    The Unblooper

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

    The first Unblooper I encountered occurred in 1983 when I was doing a clinical rotation on OB. It seems a young lady was doing some yard work when she suffered a hematoma to her vulva. The...

    Unit secretaries assigning patients to nurses??

    Davey Do replied to gratefultobeanurse16's topic in General Nursing

    Too often managers put personalities before acceptable procedures. "If you shoot pool with some employee here", as Mr. Potter said, "you can come and borrow money from the Bailey Building and Loan!"...

    Typically the charge nurse makes patient assignments. Unit secretaries are merely ancillary staff. This situation, pardon me, sucks like a

    This is a difficult situation and you've got some good responses, SilverBells. I'm not sure if I can offer any more advice, but would like to share with you not a professional, but a personal...

    Nurse Personality

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

    There are situations where the vast majority of us "should have handled better" and I've been on both sides of the fence. On different occasions, I had the other nurse "step aside" because it was...

    This weekend marks a one year anniversary of the last weekend that I worked at Wrongway. I went in Sunday night March 15, 2020, was offered low census after 1 am, and took it. The following week,...

    Onceagain, Speedy, you've impressed me with your perspectives and insights. I feel sad for you, to be bruised so badly that it is difficult for you to rebound. However, it seems like your...

    Haunting An Old Haunt

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

    I got a verbal warning for not greeting the new Director of Care?

    Davey Do replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think we need to consult with Captain Obvious on that one, JKL! Too often, something which I too am guilty of, is the need of finding our own way. Being blessed having relationships with...
