  1. Hospital sued for faces drawn on surgical patient

    dansamy replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    Omg! The hospital has already had priors regarding exploitation of vulnerable, anesthetized patients? And these two nutballs still have their jobs?! Yeah, I'd be suing. Sent from my HTC One X using...

  2. Well.. I guess I am going to be canned

    dansamy replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I assume that it's at least hot enough to cause second degree burns. My husband does this ridiculous floating thing to keep from spilling his coffee because he DOES like molten lava coffee. He's only...

  3. Well.. I guess I am going to be canned

    dansamy replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have never seen the pictures. I am aware of the detail that the coffee bordered on molten lava. The serving temperature was under McDonald's control and was indeed too hot. It also comes down to...

  4. Can they force me to work weekends during jury duty???

    dansamy replied to luv2dive's topic in General Nursing

    If it's your regularly scheduled weekend, yes. They sure can. You're not in court Saturday or Sunday. Sent from my HTC One X using

  6. Well.. I guess I am going to be canned

    dansamy replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I believe the suit is frivolous, but I thought the McDonald's coffee suit was too. Duh, coffee's hot. Don't spill it! I think the patient & her lawyer could possibly make enough noise that the...

  7. Nursing School Lawsuit

    dansamy replied to Nurse Leigh's topic in Nursing News

    We had a similar problem with my graduating class. About 6-10 students were unable to pass HESI after 3 tries. Ultimately, they sued the school & won. They were given a remediation class & 3...

  8. Well.. I guess I am going to be canned

    dansamy replied to Phoenix2541's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You allowed a male housekeeper to apply tape to a female psych patient's thigh. That wasn't smart. She could claim he fondled her. She may actually get something from her lawsuit. Probably an out of...

  9. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    dansamy replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Right. It works that way at my facility too, but the ER orders are d/c'ed because the admitting orders are initiated. Now when they arrive to our unit, it takes a few minutes for pharmacy to put their...

  10. Hospital sued for faces drawn on surgical patient

    dansamy replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    They're apparently too busy making fun of her & taking pictures to ensure safety & sterility. Sent from my HTC One X using

  11. Hospital sued for faces drawn on surgical patient

    dansamy replied to Esme12's topic in General Nursing

    It is inexcusable. At the very least the nurse & anesthesiologist involved should have been suspended, if not fired. I reported a situation with a co-worker who took photos regarding a vulnerable...

  12. ER nurses not calling report anymore...

    dansamy replied to plinytheRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think it's an outpatient vs inpatient thing. ER & OPS are outpatient services. When the patient is admitted, they need inpatient orders. Sent from my HTC One X using

  13. Six weeks out - never been so happy

    dansamy replied to savoytruffle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I preferred the hangups to the vile cursing. Sent from my HTC One X using

  14. Six weeks out - never been so happy

    dansamy replied to savoytruffle's topic in Health, Stress Management

    In my debt collector days, I'd get this terrible shoulder pain. I was so happy to quit that job. Sent from my HTC One X using

  15. Been over a month..

    dansamy replied to donnaalyssa's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Ah. I'm looking more western. I'm hoping I will not have a hard time getting interviews even though I'm out of town. Sent from my HTC One X using

  16. Been over a month..

    dansamy replied to donnaalyssa's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you don't mind me being nosy, what children's hospital? (I ask because I'm possibly looking to move out of state myself. I'm looking at a number of potential places.) Sent from my HTC One X using...

  17. need help with cranial nerves

    dansamy replied to kimmy2013's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    On old Olympus towering top, a Fin and German viewed some hops. Olfactory, optic, oculomotor, trochlear, trigeminal, abducens, facial, auditory, glossopharangeal, vagus, spinal accessory,...

  18. Infant or Pediatric Scope?

    dansamy replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Infant. But I'm hard of hearing. I use a Littman Cardiology III on peds/adults. I use a borrowed Littman infant on new people. Sent from my HTC One X using

  19. New grad looking for first job - what could make a hospital do this?

    dansamy replied to joemomma35's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Does your credit score stink? Sent from my HTC One X using

  20. Theft of Fentanyl Patches

    dansamy replied to meded101's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I once had a mother pitch a huge tantrum because I needed to visualize the fentanyl patch on her child. The patch was on her buttock. The mother thought it was inane and scandalous that I insisted on...

  21. Orientee Horror Stories?

    dansamy replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    :-D I sometimes can't keep some of them straight, but my diabetic nurse friend that went to NS with me always sets me straight. Again. Sent from my HTC One X using

  22. Orientee Horror Stories?

    dansamy replied to megank5183's topic in General Nursing

    Do you no longer work in direct patient care? Or not routinely give insulin? Sent from my HTC One X using

  23. Wrong Breast Milk

    dansamy replied to SummerLei's topic in Pediatric

    My facility considers it "white blood". An exposure to untested blood would be a potential source of infection & is treated just like giving the patient the wrong blood. Sent from my HTC One X...

  24. Tegaderm and tape dressing on VERY diaphoretic patient

    dansamy replied to Beanyamean's topic in General Nursing

    Watch Coban dressed sites closely. I've had patients have swelling of their fingers or thumb from the tightness of the dressing. The iv was not infiltrated. Great blood return. As soon as the Coban is...
