  1. What do you do if a patient strikes?

    danu3 replied to Emery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You did not slap his wrist. You just "patted" his wrist to distract him so hopefully you can get out of the hold. Come to think of it, if you are within reach and if he is not totally psyched out,...

  5. What do you do if a patient strikes?

    danu3 replied to Emery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree with Mjlrn97, your teacher is flat wrong. Ask any ER or psych nurse where there is a high incident of violence. Think about it, if a patient is choking you, you are not allow to try to save...

  10. 8th grade nursing presentation ideas

  12. 8th grade nursing presentation ideas

    danu3 replied to nay537's topic in General Nursing

    Good point. You do have to appeal to both the boys and the girls. The gross stuff, lots of kids (both genders) like them I think. But some might not, so you need to appeal to them also. Hmmm......

  17. Do you care "FOR" your patients or care "ABOUT" your patients?

    danu3 replied to Lanceman's topic in General Nursing

    Well, you definitely need to care FOR the patient. As for care ABOUT, I don't think it is either you CARE about or you do NOT CARE about your patient. It is not a "binary" thing. I feel it would be...

  18. Nursing and height

    danu3 replied to twinkle's topic in General Nursing

  19. Guidance re "losing skills" and esoteric specialties

    danu3 replied to humglum's topic in Nursing Career

    danu3 replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, the "Christians" who call Jews "Christ-killers" really do not know about their own faith at all. Actually one may even doubt whether they are really Christian at all, at least from what...

    danu3 replied to porterwoman's topic in General Nursing

  24. "Are you saved?" How do YOU deal with these types of questions
