    Holding Hands at Work

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

    I feel sad for the ones who responded that they wouldn't 'be manipulated' into holding a patient's hand for a moment. Sometimes a request is simply a request, and not a patient being manipulative. At...

    Patients allowed to go outside and smoke???

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

    Is there any facility left that does NOT proclaim itself as a non-smoking campus? Several years ago at one LTC the patients were only allowed to smoke if they could find someone to accompany them out...

    "Bless Your Heart"

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

    It really depends on inflection and tone what is meant by "Bless your/his/her heart." I am a transplanted Yankee, here in the South for 38 years now. I know people who are utterly sincere when they...

    Will green skin hurt my career?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, now, I suspect the green skin will not be much of a problem. It's just that the ball-bearings surgically implanted beneath the skin of your bald head, the split tongue, and the red contact...

    Who teaches essential nursing skills?

    No Stars In My Eyes replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing
