    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    Ah...wow. ^.^;; I can't even bring myself to comment other than I disagree.

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

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say I'd think it right for a nurse to be unsteady on their feet, although again this is a matter of perception. However some people have daily medications to take by medical orders and you...

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

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    ^.^;; Well I don't know if appearing sleepy or blank is an illegal behaviour (After all it happens regularly to myself), but of course if the OP is worried any person may bring a concern to higher...

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

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure everything will work out just fine. Try not to stress about it ok? You can't take back the past and if you truly felt something was wrong then that is the time you discuss things with your...

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

    Gold_SJ replied to Ginger80's topic in General Nursing

    Ah... I guess that is up to your personal choice, if someone generally appears tireder then normal I really wouldn't warrant that a call to the supervisor. People are prescribed a variety of...

  6. Can a nurse come to work after taking a benzodiazepine?

    Gold_SJ replied to Smackdown's topic in General Nursing

    Hm well here in australia employers have no right to know what prescriptions drugs one may take. My mother is a Register Nurse and works majority of the time in OT and drug testing. While out testing...

  7. Nurse chatting/dating patient

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

    Aw as disappointing as it may be or as much as you may like this lady its completely against the nursing code of conduct. As she is a patient in your care there is an unequal power level and it is...

  8. Can a nurse come to work after taking a benzodiazepine?

    Gold_SJ replied to Smackdown's topic in General Nursing

    It's perfectly fine if under Medical orders and it shall not impact nursing care. Many don't realise to go to work without taking the dosage is more dangerous. Any prescribed medication for...

  10. Before you had ANY type of nursing training/education, did you know anything?

    Gold_SJ replied to wishfulthinking21059's topic in General Nursing

    *smiles* Don't put too much pressure on yourself, all of us start out at newbies somewhere and your facility or preceptor wouldn't expect otherwise. Sure there may be people with a little more...

  11. how to handle this????

    Gold_SJ replied to wiley6coyote's topic in General Nursing

    Mm I can see how its complicated as you don't seem to be a person wanting to put more stress into anyones life, this part timer or the more aggressive personality you work with. I think as a senior...

  12. what color is your ink?

    Gold_SJ replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    Here in Australia at my hospital facility, everything is to be written in black biro no exception, due to copying issues, apparently blue biro still does not fax/copy well enough. We had a couple of...

  13. Dining room vent.

    Gold_SJ replied to Forever Sunshine's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I agree with many of the previous posters. As its a LTC facility, residents have the right to watch television during dinner as it is their home, not a hospital. Dieticians should not be focusing on...

  14. Employers right to know Psych illness & Tx

    Gold_SJ replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    In Australia no one has the right to know your personal health matters, particulary potentially stigma attached illness such as mental health or ADHD. Its up to you if you want to tell your employer...

  15. is it wrong to sit on a patients bed?

    Gold_SJ replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    In my area I don't feel it's wrong to sit on a client's bed. I work in paediatrics and when with non infectious children the ability to comfort and speak/play with them on their level I feel is...
