    how can i better handle this situation

    Baubo516 replied to danlee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just re-read your post and had another thought about it. It may be important to stand up for yourself to these girls. Don't allow them to see emotion, but firmly tell them whenever they act...

    how can i better handle this situation

    Baubo516 replied to danlee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am an older nursing student, and I think it is horrible what these girls are doing. It sounds like junior high or high school behavior. I used to be a teacher, and the first thing you are supposed...

    Issues w/staff

    Baubo516 replied to momo_2013's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Things they don't tell you in nursing school

    Baubo516 replied to LondonLeprechaun's topic in Nursing Humor

    They don't tell you to get the male pt's peri care done quickly and efficiently, because if you play with it too much, he might get aroused. Not really a big deal, but it can be embarrassing for the...

    Thanks for the laughs! I am on a long 1:1 tonight and this thread woke me

    Sexism in a primarily female dominated field

    Baubo516 replied to ritit123's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is unreasonable for a male nurse to ask a female nurse to do all of his physical assessments, caths and rectal meds on females. I work with quite a few male nurses on my unit, and we only...

    What's in your bag (and/or car) -- the PDN version!

    Triage Call Bell?

    Baubo516 replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I thought about that when reading some other people's comments. It totally makes sense for a water or bathroom call to go straight to the CNA. I wonder if anyone at my hospital would know how to set...

    What's in your bag (and/or car) -- the PDN version!

    Baubo516 replied to brillohead's topic in Private Duty

    Just wanted to say that I am loving this thread! I am about to start working for a pediatric home care agency, and I will be doing 8-12 hour shifts of care in the home with the patient. I had never...

    Is lying the new norm?

    Baubo516 replied to Hoosier_RN's topic in Home Health

    I can't believe someone actually grabbed your arm and tried to get you to stay! I am afraid that if someone did that to me, I may just reflexively punch them! That wouldn't go over too

    LPN forced to work as CNA

    Baubo516 replied to jg24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I am still a student, with an LPN license, but I agree that nurses should be willing to do direct patient care, even if it requires wiping a butt or two. It may not be your favorite thing, but it is...

    dyslexia

    Baubo516 replied to keiahag's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I have a friend who was diagnosed with dyslexia during the first year of our nursing program. She worked with the accomodations specialist at our school to develop techniques to deal with it while...

    Choked by a patient. How do you deal with this trauma?

    Baubo516 replied to 222mom222's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    222mom222 - I am so sorry this happened to you. It is admirable that you are thinking of trying to improve conditions at your work place, but please, care for yourself first. I have never been...

    Bachelor of Music Education, with 9 years experience teaching vocal/general music. *I am not in an accelerated program, but an ADN program. Still wanted to chime in since I am a second career

    Triage Call Bell?

    Baubo516 replied to Esme12's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    We have these call lights at my hospital. The rest of the hospital has had them for a while, but my unit JUST got them installed. I think the idea is to save time - if the pain button is pushed, you...

    Honesty & heart

    Baubo516 replied to brenda1234's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My first thought is that it sounds like you like caring for your patients, but you don't like dealing with their parents. I felt the same way when I was a teacher. Most of my negative experiences as...

    Attire for interview

    Baubo516 replied to nurse2033's topic in Men in Nursing

    nurse2033 - what would be the equivalent of the suit for a female? Should we also wear suits? I usually try to wear dress pants or a skirt and a nice blouse, but have not always included a jacket or...

    Buffets in emesis basins?

    Baubo516 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Oh my! Apparently I have not been in health care long enough, as I have not seen any of this yet... and we usually have plenty of plastic forks, knives and spoons on my unit. We never have enough...

    The most ridiculous birth plans you've had the pleasure of reading

    Baubo516 replied to PeepnBiscuitsRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just want to say that I have immensely enjoyed reading this thread! I am still in school and I have an interest in NICU/L&D nursing. I still have that wide-eyed notion that birth is a miracle...

    Personal fertility issues a detriment in OB Nursing?

    Baubo516 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hello, OB/Gyn Nurses! I am a nursing student (LPN, working on RN) who is interested in working on a L&D/Mother/Baby Unit in the future. I just love tiny babies. I could take baby vitals all day...

    Personal fertility issues a detriment in OB Nursing?

    Baubo516 replied to Baubo516's topic in Ob/Gyn

    monkeybug - Thanks for sharing your experience. I am an emotional person, for sure, and I remember it being even worse when I was doing hormone injections. If you don't mind sharing, how old were...

    Issues w/staff

    Baubo516 replied to momo_2013's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I like the idea of getting a local news agency involved. Once you have started at your new job and are no longer involved with this horrible place, report them to a local news agency so that they can...

    3rd shift nursing assessments

    Baubo516 replied to jab1432's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm an aide on a Rehab/Skilled Unit, and I work nights. Only a few of our patients will sleep through the night without peeing at least once. The RN's I work with will tell me, "Let me know if ____...
