  1. So... how do you deflect family members when you're busy?

    nightengalegoddess replied to nenabee's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't read through all pages of replies yet. But this is always a big issue. At first greeting with patients in the morning, I always try to speak of the general POC, any pending concerns with...

  2. So tired :(

    nightengalegoddess replied to EarthChild1130's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. Had no idea about the military discrimination issue. Geez. So much discrimination in so many ways. I eagerly await the day that the quantum shift hits and the majority of people in this world...

  3. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    nightengalegoddess replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    I've got to talk to BMI here. CharmedJ7, with all due respect, I do appreciate what you are saying. We do need to have some across the board clinical scales for many purposes. But I also want to make...

  4. Have you ever had a pt have sex...

    nightengalegoddess replied to jarrn03's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, Sparrowhawk, no religiocism intended. Guess all the years at a Catholic hospital made me think along those lines...and as a later poster mentioned....of course the high risk ladies are a...

  5. Compassion or reality for obese patients?

    nightengalegoddess replied to stefanyjoy's topic in General Nursing

    If a patient can not do their ADL's because they are obese, if they are experiencing serious health issues because of their obesity; this is where it becomes a concern for me as an RN. I want to...

  6. Have you ever had a pt have sex...

    nightengalegoddess replied to jarrn03's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What is so wrong with sex between two people who are in love and again performing the act for the sake of new life? Wow. Even if one is Catholic, this kind of sex is ok.....sex for procreation...sex...

  7. Ohhhhh your a Nurse!?!?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, Aspen13. That really is bad. I would report all that to my supervisor immediately. I am an RN, and expect the CNA to do what is requested. I do not expect the CNA to ignore my judgement or try to...

  8. Boss Keeps Asking Me to Lunch

    nightengalegoddess replied to ArizonaMark's topic in General Nursing

    Ask him to invite others once in a while. (Maybe not the one who voiced the concern to you..she sounds irrational to me). Of course, he needs to know that jealousy is brewing. He's probably been...

  9. Fired By Patient Family

    nightengalegoddess replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Nursing

    How bout' this little experience. The elder patient was very happy with my care. The daughter and her husband had been visiting frequently for two days. The husband made many innapropriate...

  10. Should I start looking?

    nightengalegoddess replied to aprilbutterfly49's topic in General Nursing

    I have found that when you get a hunch it is good to act upon it. I haven't followed my hunches in the last year at my hospital (new ceo, new administration)...and now they are targeting me. I say...

  11. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    nightengalegoddess replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    Man, you guys...so to some this image is patronizing. Some are a little shellshocked, so to speak...a little jaded. Some have a romantic view of nursing...so what. Daring to care and making a...

  12. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    nightengalegoddess replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    The more I read the more I freak. How do people continue to practice? Peri care with no gloves? Sounds like some sort of fetish...GROSS! Let me die in the woods without a nurse or physician in...

  13. What have other nurses done that have freaked you out?

    nightengalegoddess replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    Percocets in central lines. Feedings going into the wrong lines. Feedings going into central lines. Crazy old nurses taping babies mouths shut.........AND I AM IN TROUBLE FOR RAISING MY VOICE TO MY...

  14. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    nightengalegoddess replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh. Don't watch much tv but did see AND hear it once. Can't remember the jingle. But every morning before work at 0430 in the gym, I see it on the minions of tvs there. Actually, when I see it...

  15. Nurse asked to testify for terminated employee

    nightengalegoddess replied to haydinger's girl's topic in General Nursing

    I am praying for you. What kind of RN has a bevy of felonies anyway? Do nothing as the other poster has said......and just wait until you are sworn to the truth. You have no obligation to this other...

  16. Patients families dictating care and treatment

    nightengalegoddess replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

    When people feel in shock and without control of their loved ones they will react with lots of power seeking behaviors. This is human nature and I see it a lot. I wonder if the RN is going to end up...

  17. How do you chart verbal aggression by a client?

    nightengalegoddess replied to RxOnly's topic in General Nursing

    I have charted these situations word for word. I work in a catholic facility and yet I am still interested in defending my license if it ever comes up. There may be specific threats coming from the...

  18. suspension for hostility

    nightengalegoddess posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am more seeking info about anyone who has been accused of creating a hostile work environment. After an RN has actually created a whistlblowing situation; in which there was truth, in which HR has...

  19. suspension for hostility

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    You may be very right gonzo1. Looking today even. Your cute little jokes about them may have been more true than they wanted anyone to know. Man. I love being a nurse too. I don't care how demented,...

  20. suspension for hostility

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Wow Nurse J22! Man. Oh Man. Wish we had a good union here...I'm afraid that would even get me more in trouble And Leelee2...thank you so much. I really appreciate it. That's all I can do now and keep...

  21. discharge postponed due to weather...does insurance/Medicare pay?

    nightengalegoddess replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add. Woudn't the patient's insurance be billed for the medical extra day? Not the patient directly

  22. discharge postponed due to weather...does insurance/Medicare pay?

    nightengalegoddess replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Finding a medical reason would be the creative answer. It doesn't seem like that always happens although I love it. Usually takes a good nurse or case-worker to bring that up to the doctor. Good for...

  23. I'm not rude and assertive so I wouldn't survive at work...right?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Did the RN smack the patient or the patient smack the RN? That Rn sounds wrong to me. We have to respect the rights of our patients. If they don't want to eat, they ought NOT EVER be bullied into it....

  24. Floating related to age

    nightengalegoddess replied to SandraCVRN's topic in General Nursing

    Doesn't sound legal to me. But having the certified nurses not float may be ok. Things can not legally be substantiated by age only. That is

  25. suspension for hostility

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    This is part of the issue exactly! We work under very stressful situations, and it IS human to raise a voice now and then when management has not adressed issues that affect patient care. Humans do...
