3. Would you ever ask another nurse to give your pt a suppository?

   SionainnRN replied to iluvgusgus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I have to agree with everyone else. If someone was going to be turning and examining my pt and they needed a suppository I would hate to, but would prob ask them to pop it in since they'd be right...

4. death smells like

   SionainnRN replied to shimike2010's topic in Private Duty

   Coffee grounds works wonders, just put some in a cup in the corners of the room. We do that in the ER with our more fragrant pts and it works

5. med/surge or pacu for a new grad

   SionainnRN replied to MelissaSipes's topic in PACU

   PACU tends to take ICU and ER nurses not new grads, this is very suspicious. Pacu may seem like a cushy job, one pt at a time, but when the poop hits the fan and you need to start pressers, hang...

6. Dating a former patient

   SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

   And I think a lot of people would be feeling different about the situation if she wasn't a psych pt. There's nothing wrong with clicking with a pt, or finding yourself attracted to someone. What you...

8. Dating a former patient

   SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

   No one is saying that someone with psych issues doesn't deserve love, they probably need it more than anyone. But someone in the middle of a crisis should not be starting a relationship with her...

   SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

   And that would be super creepy and also a violation since the only way he knew her name was from her chart. Way too many worms in the can. Not worth

10. How helpful/important is it to work as a CNA before going to nursing school?

    SionainnRN replied to ReadyToListen's topic in General Students

    I think it would be very important. And not only to speed through learning ADLs once in nursing school, but more importantly to give perspective nurses a realistic idea of what nursing is. Too many...

11. Crowd funding: Yay or Nay?

    SionainnRN replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    If you put it in the Internet it's not a private transaction but a public one, therefore open to scrutiny. At my old job there was a coworker who put a sign up in the break room saying she wasn't...

12. Dating a former patient

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    When someone is sick enough that they are an in patient at a psych facility, it is an absolute certainty that their issues are more severe than just needing a significant other. They have serious,...

    SionainnRN replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    I hope that is sarcasm because that is horrible advice. Not only is it unethical, a bf is not the cure for mental

14. Can not even express how greatful I would be for some input. My livelyhood depends on it.

    SionainnRN replied to RN94's topic in Nurse Management

    My old hospital had a policy where if you left for whatever reason: fired, quit, retired, etc you were listed as DNR. It's not always a death sentence. If you look on threads here so so so many nurses...

15. ICU especially hard on back?

    SionainnRN replied to Subclavian Steel's topic in Critical Care

    I've done trauma ICU, ortho floor and ER so here's my two cents: ICU: less walking, worst on back due to turning not just your pts every two hours but helping with all the other pts in the pod...
