    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ktwlpn's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Saw a photo of him on the news that was supposedly taken a day or so before he died; he was grinning broadly with a devil-may-care attitude, seemed relaxed and looked healthy as all get out. It never...

    Cna-Rn bullying, lies, hiding things on charts

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to chicsurfs's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    It works poorly. Memory Care is kind of what used to be referred to as a Rest Home, as opposed to a Nursing Home. In a Rest Home there is not "supposed to be" the need for the same acuity level as...

    Gossip Girls... (And boys)

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ambobam's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is one I've told before on maybe several previous threads, but it bears up well for this topic: My 3rd or 4th year as a nurse I started a job as 3-11 med nurse at a small suburban hospital. I'd...

    Gossip Girls... (And boys)

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ambobam's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Step-dgt. and her mom are 'CHAMPEEN' red-neck gossipers. It's why I never tell my step-dgt anything. Generic conversational chats even, somehow, end up as fodder. My respect for her plummeted years...

    Pt.s Ordering Food from Outside Hospital?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to annie.rn's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked Home Health, I walked into a popular cafeteria for an early take-out supper, and the first thing I saw was an 80-ish diabetic patient trying to cover her plate of Boston Cream pie with...

    Pt.s Ordering Food from Outside Hospital?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to annie.rn's topic in General Nursing

    My first year in nursing, the unit I worked on admitted a morbidly obese patient who had skin breakdowns everywhere there was a fold of flesh. It took four people to do dsg changes! (She also required...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to ambobam's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Exactly. I think it was Wayne Dyer who said, "What you think of me is none of my business." Once I got to the point where that made a lot of sense, I was essentially freed from carrying a lot of...

    I LOVE this answer! Katie, "not only can you fling it, you can make it stick!" This quote was high praise from a former teacher. Meaning, you know the science and can reel off the answer(s) using a...

    Oh, for pete's sake; EVERYONE looks at their poop. You don't have to have a reason, either; just human curiosity. Of course, as nurses we are trained to give the stuff a quick ( or closer) look so we...

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to beemax079's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think a year and a half of time put into the job is sufficient, especially given the surrounding circumstances (staff, acuity, etc.). And do you really want to be Charge at a place you can barely...

    Can you talk some sense into me?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    To decide by a coin toss would be interesting. Assign 'heads' to one choice, and 'tails' to the other. Tell yourself that since you can't decide,you will let the coin toss settle it for you. Then,...

    We tried a similar product,but found it useless. Why are there so very few facility bathrooms that have ventilation fans? I suppose it comes down to $$$. Oh, fans are too expensive! Even though the...
