  1. 4th day on the floor and.....

    BonewaxRN replied to KaksRN's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.impactednurse.com/?p=334 Take a look at this article, it outlines the various risks for transmission of HIV and hepatitis from a needlestick. I have been where you are and it is a terrible...

  2. I just feel that I would feel in much better hands if I had nurses that were sexy

    BonewaxRN replied to themoreyouknow's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'd far rather have a nurse that practiced using the lobes between her ears instead of the ones on her chest. For male nurses, I guess it would be big brain rather than big anything else. I'm all for...

  3. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    BonewaxRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    I'm an RN, and I do feel like I have to address the issue of "Critical Thinking and LPN's." It was wrong of that poster to say what was said. It reveals a misplaced arrogance, and an apology wouldn't...

  4. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    BonewaxRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

  5. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    BonewaxRN replied to caregiver1977's topic in General Nursing

    What a shame. As long as proper privacy was provided for the girl during the clean-up, it absolutely was appropriate to do it in

  6. Care plans, why am I still doing them?

    BonewaxRN replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Nursing

    You've learned how to take care of patients. What the care plans you are doing now are intended to do is to document in an objective way what it is that you do to accomplish that. "Taking care of the...

  7. Am I making the right choice?

    BonewaxRN replied to adviceseeker's topic in General Nursing

    Medical Assistant really is a joke unless you can get into a doctor's office. I know because I went the career college/medical assistant route and never could find work. That was just a wasted student...

  8. And That Ever Delightful Topic - Hemorrhoids!

    BonewaxRN replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Gastroenterology

    I'm grateful that I've been spared the experience, but my mother has terrible problems with them. Procto-foam has been the best thing she has found, and she's able to put it in for herself after I...

  9. My life is so hopeless right now!

    BonewaxRN replied to Lisa321's topic in General Nursing

    [quote=redglasses; Take a big breath, smile because you are going to sae many thousands of dollars by NOT going to a lawyer, and go do something nice for yourself, whatever makes you smile!! You'll...

  11. Needle stick injury

    BonewaxRN replied to Blueorchid's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    It was my very second day working as a new nurse, and I had to give insulin to a young man who had been admitted to the ICU with fever of unknown origin. He appeared to have several indicators for...

  12. What do you do if you are assigned a patient you know outside of work?

    BonewaxRN replied to cogath's topic in General Nursing

    I was assigned to a patient who was a former co-worker at another job. I didn't have a problem with her, but with the family. They assumed that since I was friends with the patient, that I would give...

  13. Immunizations & nursing school

    BonewaxRN replied to determined09's topic in General Nursing

    I do use hand sanitizer after going to crowded areas or using public facilities. And no, I don't go around gowned and gloved, because I get my flu shots and therefore am not a potential reservoir for...
