  1. Are physicians that thick?

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

    I understand that you're frustrated, but to be so blasé about post op H&Hs is a little worrisome. The docs don't write for serial labs unless they're pretty worried about something. So if you...

  2. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is no point in getting a urine sample for alcohol level, nor do I know of any hospital that even checks urine for alcohol. Breath and blood are the gold standard. And for the last time: THERE...

  3. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is no double standard. No one, other than the op, has said that its okay to have a pt undressed and vulnerable, no matter what their gender. What has been said over and over is that when you are...

  4. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If the cop is in a trauma room and the pt is being worked on to a degree that they are naked, pretty sure the cop has no choice in having to be there. You seriously aren't getting it. Yes there are...

  5. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Are you seriuosly trying to say that if no cops were present pts were left in rooms with curtains open and stark naked? Cause I'm calling bull. There is no way that happened. And honestly the way you...

  6. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Your ignorance is astounding, I really don't know where to begin. Do you think the cops are just hanging out in the trauma room for fun? To get their jollies? If the pt is in custody, the cops stay by...

  7. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    And for hundreds and hundreds of years women had to put up with only having make physicians. Did it suck, yes. Was it fair, no. Is anything in this world fair, no. So until real life turns into a...

  8. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've had a pt who was in a MVA, cleared by medics at scene, brought in by cops for work up prior to jail for DUI and had.....a broken neck!! About 4 hours of this drunk dude walking around with a...

  9. Fed up with being denied an ICU position

    SionainnRN replied to Flexx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    And like the ICU and multiple nurses have told you here, you need to go to tele or stepdown. Focus on something solid and obtainable rather than placing all your eggs in the "connections"

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Just don't do it at the same

  11. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If it's a trauma pt and the cops are with them why would they leave the room, regardless of gender? Either they are a suspect and in custody, or their a witness/victim and the cops may need info...

  12. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Umm you know the towel has to be removed from the females genitalia to cath her too, right? I've never seen a pt cathed with curtains open, EVER. So acting like it happens every shift every day is...

  13. Charge nurse unnecessary comments

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

    Are you still on orientation? How long have you been there? Maybe these comments are because the charge nurse is getting frustrated at you not getting it. If you're asking so many questions every...

  14. Male modesty double standard

    SionainnRN replied to caregiver111's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bottom line in cases of resuscitation: alive and naked, or dead but covered? If we are trying to save your life, most of the time you are going to be mostly naked. We've got leads, ECG's, pacer pads,...

  15. Fed up with being denied an ICU position

    SionainnRN replied to Flexx's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The OP was told by ICU that they need tele or step down but she's not doing it, myself and other posters have said she needs stepdown or tele, but it seems she'd rather complain about not getting a...

  16. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Decent happy life while actively dying on pain meds? To me that sounds like pure torture, and impossible. But the bottom line is, why do you have any say in how I die? Why do you get to judge how much...

  17. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Very well

  18. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No. 60/40 would be a large margin. But it's all moot as level heads prevailed and people who loved each other were allowed to express that love with legal

  19. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No not by a large margin 52/47 and then ruled

    SionainnRN replied to RNsRWe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very few people plan on posting things that will get them in trouble, usually just happens and takes them by

    Well actually you know nothing of me and my

  22. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Exactly!!! I just don't know why people can't let others live in peace. It's scary that everyone who seems to tout "traditional values" wants to take away rights of others. Gay marriage has nothing to...

  23. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That's practically laughable. Didn't God let his Son die on the cross rather than saving him, isn't that murder? Or when He told a believer to kill his son as a sacrifice to prove his loyalty? If...

  24. Voluntary Euthanasia

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But what makes your morals right? What makes your opinion better than mine? Nothing. Except for the fact that the people voting against prop 8 weren't trying to take away the rights of their fellow...

    SionainnRN replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Resoundingly??? It was 52/47, by no means a landslide. Thank God it was
