  1. Nurses Working Conditions

    nightengalegoddess replied to vintagemother's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my Gosh. Report this! I agree! Quit and report. I worked a small period of time in a SNF. I was appalled. Things were similar to the one you mentioned. And NO GLOVES! To protect WHAT? Dignity?...

  2. I can't understand what you're saying!

    nightengalegoddess replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I personally think that text speak is killing the art of grammar and the English languuage. Grammar has rules yet when used creativley for expression it becomes an art. Decided upon standards help...

  3. Why do nurses chart in 3rd person?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    Re: MunoRN's statement; really don't know how a lawyer could possibly down an RN for writting "this nurse" if her signature were at the bottom of the

  4. Why do nurses chart in 3rd person?

    nightengalegoddess replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    This is when it is kind of interesting to identify how self-centered we all may be when we have a hard time writting or saying anything without "I" contained in it. "THIS RN" finds it relaxing to...

  5. Night shift syndrome

    nightengalegoddess replied to SweetsRN522's topic in Health, Stress Management

    If I work more than three days a week on night shift I have problems and can't revert back to day living very easily. So I only overtime once or twice a month at the most. Excercise and vitamins help...

  6. Anyone else feel like a robot reciting customer service scripts all the time?

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

    OMG must add another comment after reading all others......true.....when did being in the hospital ever turn into something that is supposed to be a pleasurable, satisfying experience for ANYONE????...

  7. Anyone else feel like a robot reciting customer service scripts all the time?

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

    Frankly, I find my way around the Aidet (or however it is spelled), by saying the same basic stuff tailored to my patients in my own way. I have always done that and I will not perform a script. If I...

  8. Is Med-Surg really a dead end?

    nightengalegoddess replied to JustWannaWork,RN's topic in General Nursing

    Med- Surg can be a specialty actually. I think it is a very valuable specialty if one gets certified. You can always get certified L and D too. I don't know why Med-Surg would stop anyone from going...

  13. self mutilating patients

    nightengalegoddess posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi. I had a new type of patient tonight. I can't tell you exactly what he did to himself or any nurse I work with will know who I am here. Let's just say, he dug into his flesh into his innards and...

  14. self mutilating patients

    nightengalegoddess replied to nightengalegoddess's topic in General Nursing

    Every one of you has really helped me out right now. The truth was just under the mask you guys just gently pulled off. I just had written in another thread about judgment. ha ha. I had thought...

  15. Things that make ya go, Hmmmmmmmmmm

    nightengalegoddess replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    Again, uh, what is the problem with at least trying a suppostitory to feel for impaction.....and then just "whisking" around a little bit. I think this preceptor knows very little about true nursing;...

  16. Things that make ya go, Hmmmmmmmmmm

    nightengalegoddess replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    OOohhhh....It DOES get uglier to hear that the patient WAS AWARE ENOUGH to verbalize the source of their discomfort and your preceptor had no idea how to communicate with this poor...

    nightengalegoddess replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Esme......excellent and true

  18. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    nightengalegoddess replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Want to make addendum.....I wasn't speaking about NURSING JUDGEMENT killing one. I was speaking of the judgement that belittles or raises us in comparison to others. And GEE.......Rob and you...

  19. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    nightengalegoddess replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    okay, lots of replies.....FIRE!. All through nursing school my professors had to keep reminding me...."stop thinking like a physician!, nursing is different entirely". If I hadn't have been thinking...

  20. Things that make ya go, Hmmmmmmmmmm

    nightengalegoddess replied to mindlor's topic in General Nursing

    legalese.....we restrain people all the time......even sleep meds are kinda like restraint if ya think about it. Sounds like she was just using common sense. Like if we were doing this at home, 80...

  21. Nurses eat their Young

    nightengalegoddess replied to NYLiz's topic in General Nursing

    Probably no one is reading this anymore, but I want to add that any peacful, loving, quiet, introspective, calm society of peoples have been completely obliterated by the aggressive societies of...

  22. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    nightengalegoddess replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    My job actually perpetuates anxiety ALOT! But truly, this does sound really obsessive. She needs psych intervention asap; that would be my SBAR suggestion...as it has been said, long term care and...

  23. Patient's drug of choice-all of them?

    nightengalegoddess replied to JeneraterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If at least one medical surgical nurse could be on shift at the psychiatric units, maybe THAT is where these patients could be after they get out of the ICU. Repeated medical treatment for the chronic...

  24. insignificant complaint...lol

    nightengalegoddess replied to EDnursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    I have always wanted to be called Nurse followed by my last name. But the hospitals don't allow us to use our last names. So I am very happy when an old school patient at least calls me Nurse followed...

  25. Do you find this article insulting?

    nightengalegoddess replied to cacentralvalley's topic in General Nursing

    In insurance land, question: The patient hasn't been out of bed for a year. You and I know that the patient never will. Does insurance allow for this patient to go directly from the hospital to a...
