    caregiver1977 replied to gayle_the_RN's topic in General Nursing

  3. descrimination in nursing

    caregiver1977 replied to reginachanana2660's topic in General Nursing

    caregiver1977 replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  6. A Point of View From a Dialysis Patient

    caregiver1977 replied to NDXUFan's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I think when nurses are giving a patient diet/lifestyle restrictions, that most of them are not thinking "wow, I'm going to stick it to this person, HOORAY!" I think most nurses are doing what is...

    caregiver1977 replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    ...and I am NOT suggesting that my problem should be solved by the ER. "Hint -- TSH/T3/T4 labs take several hours to run." The clinic drew blood to test my levels on May 4th. She gave me the results...

  8. ER's Turn Non-Emergencies Away?

    caregiver1977 replied to mwboswell's topic in Emergency

    caregiver1977 replied to ReginaPhalange's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am on facebook, but the page is not listed in my name. I have a fake first name and my married last name (most people are still stuck on my maiden last name). I do not have any current pictures of...

  15. How to Help Friend in the Hospital

    caregiver1977 replied to jeriksmoen's topic in General Nursing

    If the patient has a pushy, overbearing friend that is a nurse or nursing student, then that is bad (and I mean very bad). Other than that, being a patient and having a friend that is a nurse or...

  21. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    caregiver1977 replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Okay, a few people on this thread said that the woman in the OP was probably self-conscience (sp) about being on public assistance since this was something new for her. Shouldn't the people who work...

  24. A patient's experience with RUDE nursing staff.. Should this be reported?

    caregiver1977 replied to digoe74's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, and this fraud involves more than just patients. Often they are only getting the peanuts of the big, fraud elephant in the room. But the patients seem to be judged the hardest for it. But carry...
