    How can you be nonjudgemental?

    leslie :-D replied to Kristy02_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i don't like being pressured to be "compassionate". in situations like yours op, compassion doesn't even come into play. i could see it as professionally tolerant but as altra said, it's about keeping...

    The happy policy

    leslie :-D replied to Tepidorchid's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    really. i do remember something similar where some members were confronting another member, for his/her frequent use of a smilie that offended some people, as it wasn't used in proper context. it...

    Offensive or not??

    leslie :-D replied to peekachoo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    still, you are not the mother to an elderly, confused patient. they still deserve to be treated with dignity. iow, you just cannot rubberstamp an answer for one size fits all. however we address our...

    Sticky poop...I need some tips!

    leslie :-D replied to bwenzrn's topic in General Nursing

    fiber is fine, IF pts aren't dehydrated. normally though, i don't recommend it, if i know the pt drinks minimally. w/o the water, constipation w/hard stool results.

    Are any of you loyal?

    leslie :-D replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Nursing

    heck, how can anyone expect employers to be loyal to them, if they (the employers) can't even be loyal to their pts? yet when i and others, have advocated for our pts, we inevitably end up being...

    leslie :-D replied to Ms.RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    this clearly is not an isolated incident... you've stated you're having problems getting along. i'm just not understanding your problem. if this has been an ongoing problem, then being terminated is...

    Who is supposed to police the mean girls?

    leslie :-D replied to imintrouble's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    i don't agree or disagree that mgmt is passing the buck. many (mgrs) believe that we adults, should be able to work it out amongst ourselves, first. if other nurses agree that this new nurse is...

    Sticky poop...I need some tips!

    leslie :-D replied to bwenzrn's topic in General Nursing

    i suppose brillo pads are out? personally, mineral oil could have multi uses. ingesting it as part of bowel routine, and applying to bottom after cleaning. nsg aides i've worked with, swear by their...

    leslie :-D replied to lululucy's topic in General Nursing

    i agree with this. and, would not deliver anything in person. she asked you to wait a week. to ignore that request, could be perceived as a tad disrespectful and maybe even smothering. bringing it to...

    Nursing Attitudes

    leslie :-D replied to smorgan1228's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    perhaps to you, they are "constantly picking at the littlest things", because at this point in your education, it seems petty? maybe it is petty, maybe it's not. i would try to accept constructive...

    11 month old's breath smells like lighter fluid

    leslie :-D replied to roll8221's topic in General Nursing

    leslie :-D replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Nursing

    it's not an epidemic, but when you see enough of them (which could only be a handful), it scares the **** out of you...thinking that these people are licensed and caring for our pts. it sounds like...

    Calling a Patient 'Sugar': Abuse?

    leslie :-D replied to Trancelation's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    yes, i do think there's a difference. i wouldn't be pleased if a young person used an endearment...and would receive it more favorably if the nurse was either my age or older. i think one of the...

    bad nursing care rant

    leslie :-D replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Nursing

    i agree totally. not only is it disgusting, who the hell can heal in such conditions? not only is it a kick to his dignity, the risk of getting infections is tenfold. i think i'd have a little talk...
