    xtxrn replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    xtxrn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

  4. Treating pain/anxiety in patients with drug history

    xtxrn replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked in drug and alcohol rehab as well. The drug seekers were not indulged. The ones who came back from the dentist with root canals, the fractures, etc were medicated. Addicts can still...

  5. Treating pain/anxiety in patients with drug history

    xtxrn replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    So an addict w/acute post op pain isn't in pain "enough" to be medicated? What about an addict that tears an ACL....???? An addict that is an orthopedic puzzle after an MVA doesn't have physical...

  6. You Might Be An "old" School Nurse

    xtxrn replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in General Nursing

    NO kidding- the advent of nurses as concierges has been horrendous. There are spas for those requiring ridiculous treatments. It's very nice when a facility offers alternative therapies (massage,...

  7. Saline flush without a physician order?

    xtxrn replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    xtxrn replied to Anktshah's topic in General Nursing

    Anktshah, I (just speaking for myself, and how I first read your post) apologize for not clarifying what you meant before reacting :) I really didn't mean for things to get so heated, and also...

  11. INFP personality, choosing a health care proffession

    xtxrn replied to jrt71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is an honest question- no joking- If these personality tests are based on self-assessment, what if the person has major issues with how they see themselves? How do they base something like a...

  13. a mess!

    xtxrn replied to muesli's topic in General Nursing

    I'd find out who is supervising the med student , and tell them that Dr. Doolittle is saying he's a MD already, and verifying orders ... I'd also write up an incident report (better to do one on...

  14. Anyone else not like Combat Hospital

    xtxrn replied to jones.rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I didn't watch it... I respect the military and what they do immensely but somehow this seems like a bad time for this. M*A*S*H was a fluke hit, and was a bottom of the barrel program for a while....

  15. INFP personality, choosing a health care proffession

    xtxrn replied to jrt71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. INFP personality, choosing a health care proffession

    xtxrn replied to jrt71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    the both of us would be doing what we're interested in, and not listening to some information by someone who doesn't know us pretty soon there will be an app (or whatever) to tell us all when to...

  17. INFP personality, choosing a health care proffession

    xtxrn replied to jrt71's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is the "High Definition Personality Type" supposed to emphasize the "high" part???? Seriously- do what you're interested

    xtxrn replied to futurepractitioner1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Hmmmm..... I'd want to be a stethoscope, to be sure that some people actually have hearts :redbeathe:eek: Or, maybe a penlight, to illuminate what I'm looking at

    xtxrn replied to futurepractitioner1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Then you could be a door hinge, to maintain your patient's privacy

  20. Treating pain/anxiety in patients with drug history

    xtxrn replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    If they take them as directed, they shouldn't have issues with getting orders for meds from the doc who does the prescribing and knows they need it..... I think a lot of the trouble comes with docs...

  21. worried

    xtxrn replied to summer22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LTCs often have tuition reimbursement for CNAs to become nurses....you have to promise to work there for a certain number of years, but you have no loans to pay off... Many people prefer hospitals,...

  24. Issues @ work with coworker

    xtxrn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  25. Issues @ work with coworker

    xtxrn replied to SDALPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Also, check to see the obligations you have to the board for knowing about the DWI, and if you DON'T report it.... in TX, if a nurse knows that another nurse is impaired or otherwise a potential...
