  1. Most embarrassing mistake you've ever made

    Gold_SJ replied to sunnycalifRN's topic in General Nursing

    Lol ok, the dumbest most embarrassing thing I've ever done I believe was when I was a second year student in emergency. I was working alongside my preceptor and I really admired her, super smart, she...

  2. Spouses/Visitors In Patient's Beds

    Gold_SJ replied to jpmrt's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My hospital frowns at it I believe, every nurse I can think of asks husbands/partners to hop out of the bed if seen. Mm I guess for similar reasons as stated, infection control, generally clients are...

  3. Nurses with nose piercings?

    Gold_SJ replied to Chameleonchick's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I personally don't see any real issue with nose piercings or tattoos (minus offensive language/images) as I fail to really see how it impacts nursing care myself. I'm from Australia and it's...

  4. Calling a Patient 'Sugar': Abuse?

    Gold_SJ replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Working in paeds I find I do use soft words like, darling, beautiful, sweetheart or chicken or any other wording they like to be spoken to with. Example a six year old racing up and down the hall in a...

    Gold_SJ replied to Brian's topic in News, Announcements

    I've put in an entry ^.^;; I'm really sorry if I put it in the wrong place have never done it before. It's called 'The Blend of

  6. Archetypes in Nursing

    Gold_SJ replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    *hugs* We love you lol, there's no proper work station without our fussy neat nurses

  7. Do you think younger generations have a sense of entitlement?

    Gold_SJ replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Lol you are right, every generation seems non plussed with the next (Due to acting different, different time, different world). Pretty much I agree with your whole take on it. But it's fun to try to...

  8. Archetypes in Nursing

    Gold_SJ replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Love this thread the archetypes are halarious XD There is an I in Team - This nurse pounces whenever you're alone to assist with this carepath or this policy. Auditing to be done? You wouldn't mind...

  9. The introverted nurse

    Gold_SJ replied to esunada's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seriously I think all personality types bring their gifts and liabilities to the table in 'any' occupation. Quiteness is a wonderful state to bring to the bedside, being able to listen and give that...

  10. Do you think younger generations have a sense of entitlement?

    Gold_SJ replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I think a lot of us do XD I'm 24yrs old and I don't like the idea that sometimes I may think myself entitled. Eg. Going to my mums and making myself something to eat or getting a coffee with little...

  11. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    No one deserves to be abused, like Dance said don't let it get you down too much. You're an amazing person who like anyone gets sick of dealing with everyone else's crap. Particulary in the ER man...

  12. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Anyone on a disability payment is someone I'd call poor, the amount of money they get is just crap it's like 85% of a low wage. Priorities however yeah that can be messed up, if they're spending their...

  13. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Seriously though disability claims are far more involved then just a claim of not working, there's a huge process to go through that's aimed to stop the fakers. So those enabling it should be an...

  14. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Congrats for being able to give it

  15. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Exactly! That's what I think too. It's those passing or allowing the fake disability that should be rectifying this mess. I'm betting its something to do with funding. Like how crap welfare can be...

  16. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    I don't know everyone's individual I guess. Well as to how severe a mental condition is. Would be frustrating if they are high functioning

  17. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    drug testing as dance said would maybe be an interesting concept to have in for those claiming unemployment, however it wouldn't be really effective for those on disability as they're normally on a...

  18. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    --.-- I don't disagree with that, there is an unbelievable amount of waste and fraud in Australia's system too. I never said I disagreed with there being liars out there, just didn't like it all...

  19. Lots of young people on disability?

    Gold_SJ replied to bisacat's topic in Emergency

    Lol I'm allowed to have an opinion like everyone else. Anyway I have no objections to vents, just what the OP was venting about changed really mid thread. That and I really really dislike stigma....

  20. how did they pass theyre boards??

    Gold_SJ replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry but I agree with the previous posters. Administering oxygen therapy (particulary if you just turned the amount 'right up') is extremely dangerous if you don't know the patient's condition....

  21. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    And...I am bowing out. ^.~ Spectator now, I think everyone knows my point of view already. To me I :- 1. Don't think the OP was aiming to be malicious 2. Due to personal experience don't agree that...

  22. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    I'm truly sorry for your loss that would have been devastating. I can see now why you'd see it as so important that a superior be notified if something was out of sorts to co-workers. Guess it just...

  23. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    ^.~ To this I agree :) We are just all so

  24. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you can be charged with slander, voicing a worry or idea is not slander as it's not public knowledge to everyone in your workplace and it wasn't done in a malicious way to cause her...

  25. Feeling bad, like I "ratted out" a nurse

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I certainly don't think its wrong of you to voice concerns to a supervisor. After all what if your worry is perfectly valid? I can be somewhat doubtful on a person appearing 'stoned'...
