  1. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    :yeah: Some people aren't troubled by common sense or compassion. I personally can't imagine going through an entire shift without ever asking a patient who has been polite and hasn't made any...

  2. Sick and tired of the AAS BSN debate

    backatit2 replied to Natingale's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    some people appear to looove dead horses!

  3. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    that's if i have a change of perspective. the majority here doesn't seem to think it's as big of an issue as you and a very select couple of

  4. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    Well, after reading aaall of these responses, it seems to me that there is a policy to be followed, BUT the nurse has some discretion. In my experiences, both at the same hospital (which would have...

  6. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    well, for the record - to the person that asked my ethnicity - i'm white (and i don't have red hair,

  7. Moral/Ethical Advice

    backatit2 replied to chinacatSN's topic in General Students

    this is true. life isn't fair - someone is always going to have more, have things easier, etc. i can speak from experience after being in a similar situation and if anything, it made me feel better...

  8. Nurse with Body Odor

    backatit2 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    people def. do have natural odors they can't control. i'm not bragging, but i had a co-worker ask me what kind of perfume i wore and i told her i didn't. she said, you smell good, you just have a...

  9. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    maybe she thought by coming in the room to see what i was doing, i was being "assessed" but as far as asking me, "are you in pain" or anything of the sort - no, she didn't. the only thing that...

  10. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    you have no idea when the next possible interval is that you could potentially be given a med exactly - you see no issue with that? if the nurse is supposed to be assessing pain at some point, any...

  11. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    :yeah: LOL. at the very least, you don't have very good reading comprehension skills. and, for the record, if the nurse was ever asking about pain this wouldn't be a question nor would it have been...

  12. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i apologize. i just thought saying i should have rested more post-op was a little condescending considering the situation, but i guess i took it the wrong way. hypothetically, anyone who has just had...

  13. Nurse with Body Odor

    backatit2 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    have you ever had to tell a co-worker they smell bad? it's always easier to say what you should do when you haven't had to do

  14. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    most often, i have taken less than prescribed and even only taken a few from a whole bottle. that's not really the issue, and this was a different circumstance. i probably SHOULD have rested more post...

  15. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

    backatit2 replied to scaredofshots's topic in Nursing Humor

    the best line a nurse ever used on me is when she was inserting a catheter and i asked it it would hurt. she said, "NO" the

  16. Nurse with Body Odor

    backatit2 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    i don't know. put yourself in the shoes of the "stinker." how awkward would it be every time you saw the person that told you that you smelled bad? from my experience of dropping a hint (which i...

  17. Nurse with Body Odor

    backatit2 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    i understand your point. however, if it's a co-worker and the "source" is their body, AND more importantly if you're any kind of friend to them - you'd want them to know. in reality, they're probably...

  18. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    this is pretty much correct. in the first place, i didn't really have a point, but rather a question. however, i think the whole "drug seeker" thing is a real problem in general. i went to the ER once...

  19. CNA's/PCT's how much do you make?

    backatit2 replied to Karen06's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    that's actually not true. work history (even in another field) and especially when you've had years of a track record of showing up on time, not calling in, etc. DO count for something. education also...

  20. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    good point - and just to clarify, when a different nurse was on duty, she must've done just that. she didn't tell me that specifically, but she was very nice - gave me some comforting words and...

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    exactly - thank

  22. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    yes, i could handle the pain better in the exact situation without the use of meds because i was lying in a bed - not walking around the hospital, and definitely not leaving the hospital which i was...

  23. Nurse with Body Odor

    backatit2 replied to prettyinblu's topic in General Nursing

    this is sort of the route i took, but in a different setting (restaurant). it gets the point across but not in a way that you're directly accusing or embarrassing - i'm sure some will disagree, but i...

  24. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i'm pretty sure nurses are supposed to check in on their patients at certain intervals and have duties to take care of during their rounds. in my case, i didn't need much assistance. my husband was...

  25. asking for meds?

    backatit2 replied to backatit2's topic in General Nursing

    i like how you didn't bold THIS part: "wanting to walk to see him, wanting to walk to the ice machine, wanting to put on make up, wanting to go develop pictures" i was active - way more active than a...
