    How to Deal With Ignorant Medical Professionals

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

    it's too bad you can't address your concerns w/dr. horse's *** himself. i'd like to know from him, what is the role of hospice? does he believe this pt is terminal/dying? (if not, why is he on...

    Student caught stealing....

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

    seriously, this girl sounds so young...maybe 20ish? i say that, because her actions sound a lot like that of my 'troubled' 20yo son, who reacts the same way. dad and i, have only recently started our...

    Nurse with scoliosis

    leslie :-D replied to Ryker's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    unless you need surgery, i'm not understanding your limitation. as a fully grown adult, a brace would be ineffective...so what's your concern?

    Plz read!!! Nurse using drugs what should i do???

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

    my only real concern, is about her being high on the job. short of that, her living arrangements, while not ideal, are none of your business. unless you have verifiable proof of child neglect/abuse,...

    Ominous physical symptoms

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

    funny, i don't consider that an ominous sign. i like it when these folks suddenly rally then die. it's a nice way to go. whenever i witness this, i do warn the families that it'll likely only be a...

    Just looking for some other opinions on a topic that came up on Oprah

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

    if we're going to target hiv+ folks with ltd lifespans (and how it affects their offspring), we can also focus on older men who continue to have kids. example: my father, who is now 80, on dialysis...

    Just looking for some other opinions on a topic that came up on Oprah

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

    i honestly don't have a problem w/her decision. it seems well thought out, and the odds are on her unborn child's side. and, hiv is not the death sentence it once was. besides, there are too many...

    need help with kennedy ulcer

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

    kennedy ulcers remain poorly understood. the only 'constant', is that they seem to be found in dying pts. how long one lives, is not our call... but my experience has been that it could be days to...

    Ethical Issue -Missing Prescriptions

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

    i'm sorry this happened to you, fran. next time, either carry it on your person, or lock it in a safe. it stinks it has to come to that, but there are lots of hungry folks out there, who need/want...

    Just need to vent and have some encouragement (long)

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

    ha! i'm getting a hoot out of those who feel defensive about being called battleaxes. i've been called that, and sometimes even wear the label with pride... knowing that i can man up when i know i'm...

    Nurse assaulted

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

    that totally sucks, that the hospital shows such blatant disregard toward's their employees well-being and rights to a safe environment. the bottom line is, that nurse could (figuratively) tell the...

    how to cope with humiliation

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

    i don't understand "humiliation" when you haven't done anything wrong. rather, i have been furious, defiant, (iow, other undesirable emotions) and confrontational. as stated, you stick with what you...

    how do you assess for wound dehiscence?

    leslie :-D replied to NewlyGradBSN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    i can't imagine a pt telling me this, and NOT looking. let's say a wound did dehisce (sp) and the dsg was reinforced. by the time surgeon comes to look, an infection or bleed has set in... and causes...

    i agree, and have done the exact thing w/my 20yo son. my kids know that i believe in LIFE as a teacher, and its very real consequences (and rewards.) c'mon klone, can we let this go? although...

    Putting Principles before Personalities

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

    op, correct me if i'm wrong, but it sounds like davey wanted to explain his actions, since the first conversation had ended with 'do what you gotta do' type thing. i think we do feel badly sometimes,...

    yep, same here. i currently have 4 dogs, and when i read ruby's dog was killed, i got an adrenaline rush that tempted me to do some, not very nice things. i'm so sorry ruby, most of all, for the loss...

    Student caught stealing....

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

    it sounds horrible, ONLY if she feels remorse... which doesn't seem to be the case. if anything, she's remorseful that she got caught. that said, i am sick to death of this ubiquitous compassion that...

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

    i guess i'm not understanding, why wouldn't you press charges? this stuff needs to be on record... whether anything comes of it or not. imo, there shouldn't have been any hesitation in pressing...

    Help. Is my outrage justified?

    leslie :-D replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    oh gawd, this brings back memories... of my 1st semester in nsg, and how the majority of our class, would all become extremely 'vocal' in challenging these type of questions. the bottom line is, your...

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

    Bipolar-Should I ask for ADA accomodations?

    leslie :-D replied to AZRN2112's topic in General Nursing

    while the above should be an obvious point, it remains an excellent one... that we just don't know how it feels to struggle with bipolar or any other dx'd process. my dtr was dx'd with bipolar (by...
