    leslie :-D replied to Gabby820's topic in General Nursing

    i'm so sorry about your suffering and angst. i suspect you need some 1:1 with someone who could explain why these procedures would be invasive and futile. pancreatic ca is a terminal dx... how would...

    Hospital career after hospice nursing

    leslie :-D replied to mharden's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    you're absolutely right, tewdles. since inpatient is where my experience is, i was speaking about a new grad in inpatient hospice. i would never recommend a new grad going out on their own.

    Nurse Harassment!!!

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

    wondering, how do you know that residents haven't gotten their txs, meds, dsgs, etc? you're a cna, and would think you'd be busy with your own assignment. so how do you allegedly know so much? be...

    Hospital career after hospice nursing

    leslie :-D replied to mharden's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    i wish the public understood how aggressive and complex hospice tx can get. even without lifesaving interventions, it can get very challenging in achieving comfort with multi-organ system failure......

    Advice Needed: Helping Nurses Recognize a Dangerous but Obscure Condition

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

    i would think a nurse who works neuro, would be alerted to this risk. working with sci pts, most, if not all nurses would know what to expect... even a wrinkled sheet could precipate this crisis...as...

    Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    leslie :-D replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    leslie :-D replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    I feel like a fool

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

    not only would i get the hell out of there, i'd leave them a detailed, explicit resignation letter on your way out the door. (of course you'd keep copy for yourself) if they wanted to try and hang you...

    Extreme anxiety

    leslie :-D replied to Vtachy1's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    is your med'l dir experienced with methadone and the titration process? (i do not recommend it if not familiar.) very effective med for all types of pain. seriously, i do believe that methadone and...

    I can't believe this! This is crazy!

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

    i have to agree with both of you. for a woman to blatantly proposition a married man, and show little concern about being caught... it's just so darned brazen that it boggles my mind how and why...

    I can't believe this! This is crazy!

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

    i'd report it to the dr in a heartbeat. he would appreciate the seriousness of a hipaa violation. she just should not be working in this environment at all. good riddance.

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

    nope, no problems at workplace. i am reacting to the mandate from the brass as to how we should act. i handle my pts just fine, w/o anyone expecting me, ordering me to do so. and that is a source of...

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

    this thread is about how bitter, dried up nurses, treat their colleagues, yes? does this mean that these bitter nurses treat their pts the same way? no, not always. mindlor, i do object to those...

    Bitter dried up nurses that need to RETIRE

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

    you may be right... that this is the arrival of 'stepford nursing'...i.e., responding to commands like mindless sheep. no thank you. ftr, in the 90's they also tried to market "client" but it failed...

    Colleague treats tech like a slave. Would you intervene?

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

    Hospice

    leslie :-D replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    very true, that when hospice is used ethically, sincerely, and appropriately, everyone benefits and is one of the most remarkable experiences for all.

    Hospice

    leslie :-D replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    i'd be happy to say it loud and clear: there are definitely some hospices that are despicably managed, and should be shut down. just as you noted, "there are good, mediocre, and bad doctors, nurses,...
