  1. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    FLAlleycat replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm afraid I'm ready to throw everyone who cared for this pt under the bus. Most certainly, if the RN did not relay the information (gross negligence if that is the case), then the doctor caring for...

  3. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    FLAlleycat replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Perhaps I should also add . . . if you told the doctor the pt's travel history, and the doctor treated it as gastroenteritis and wrote discharge orders, would you not then start calling his/her...

  4. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    FLAlleycat replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you were doing intake on this patient, would you really NOT make absolutely 100 percent certain anyone coming near this patient knew of the history? Would you not immediately doan PPE and escort...

  5. Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    FLAlleycat replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sad to say, a nurse didn't think it was important enough to notify the other healthcare providers that the pt came from Liberia. If it spreads in TX, we have her/him to thank. Testing everyone...

  6. Ebola here in Dallas USA

    FLAlleycat replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A nurse, really? Really? My God, if it does spread here in the US, looks like we have our healthcare providers to thank for that! I can't frigging believe it! Someone must live in their own...

  9. Pregnant question

    FLAlleycat replied to nurse4ever08's topic in General Nursing

    I was doing manual greenhouse work with my first pregnancy. Got off at 5:30, and baby was born at 8. Didn't realize I was in labor . . . thought my back was just aching from leaning over a 4'...

  10. The Docs Who've Got Your Back

    FLAlleycat replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I worked L&D, one of our nurses admitted a walk-in with no prenatal care. The covering OB was the department head and was also a lawyer. The pt's husband was acting like real jerk and...

  11. Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

    FLAlleycat replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That would be me:( I managed my son's care without any governmental assistance until recently. It's so sad to finally admit that the child for whom I had so many hopes and dreams will not ever be...

  14. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    FLAlleycat replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One nice thing about being a CNM, you don't HAVE to work in the hospital (and I agree, many are broken). Perhaps you could start your own practice (very successful where I live) at birthing center or...

    FLAlleycat replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Different spin on this . . . My ex was extremely abusive. He did not care that I was in the hospital for injuries from major MVA. He had to have sex; I had no choice. I would have LOVED a policy...

  20. Nurses with worse spelling than mine are laughable.

    FLAlleycat replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And yet, I've lived in the Sunshine State all my life and never heard "finna". I agree that it does sound odd! One of my pet grammar peeves . . . "This is her". Some of us must have had English...

  21. Did anyone find that their previous degree was harder that nursing school?

    FLAlleycat replied to Nursetobe25's topic in General Students

    I had a bachelor's in physics which I found to be much more difficult than nursing (esp quantum mechanics . . . ugh). It did, however, give me a good background in research. To me, nursing was...
