  1. Nurse chatting/dating patient

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

  2. Life At DaVita-Many of You Will Find This Interesting...

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

    I agree, but just because someone is sick and on disability or not working does not mean they are auto-lazy or auto-criminal. Often younger people who can't work are judged like that and some have a...

    caregiver1977 replied to winter_green's topic in Ob/Gyn

    caregiver1977 replied to nurse.sandi's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am not a nurse, but I know 2 nurses with back injuries who talk about becoming instructors. The other one I know of I think she is on disability and is going to or already has retired. I hope you...

  7. Will you delete your Facebook account of you get into nursing school?

    caregiver1977 replied to RscodADN10's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. An upset elderly patient...

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

    Did I mention that my Mom agreed with the MD? Yes I did. She is the one that convinced my aunt to go to the nursing home. I think I have typed several times that my mom was upset with my aunt for...

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

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

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

    And somehow I knew this post would end up off track I just wanted to know if the doctor was right for not wanting to speak to my aunt after my aunt shook her finger in the doctor's face and raised...

  16. An upset elderly patient...

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

    We can respectfully disagree on somethings. I can understand the doctor may of been having a day where she just had it. I still think she was a little thin-skinned. Just wanted to hear from people...

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

    1) I never saw a sign that said people who weren't nurses were not to join this site. If there was one I missed it. I would have certainly respected such a sign. 2) There are some post I would like...

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

    Thank you for your reply but my question was if the doctor was right to be so upset with my aunt that she refused to talk to her when my aunt decided that she would go to the nursing home. I really...

  23. What do patients say that irks you?

    caregiver1977 replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Believe me, it is just as frustrating to have to be hooked up to all of those machines and have to ask to go to the bathroom when you have been doing it yourself for many years. When you are hooked...

    caregiver1977 replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    caregiver1977 replied to NurseforPreggers's topic in Ob/Gyn
