    Ahh, the future of America.... Kids who have been parented by doormats. VERY

  2. It's not always about you - a mini rant

    xtxrn replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Reporting the threads is always an option.... if it's inappropriate. Or a PM to them, quietly letting them know how it came across- may find out some other reason for the personal info... All that any...

  3. i cursed somebody at work, somebody overheard and filed a complaint. what can i do?

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

    A few months ago? Seems odd to bring it up now. What else is going on that the manager might want to talk to you about? Maybe something good?

  4. Don't Know What To Do.. (Prospective Student)

  5. Another Rant About Rudeness/Bullying/Eating

    xtxrn replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Seems to me that there is a correlation between those who have been communicating with an electronic device with abbreviations and no in-person contact, and those who scream "bully" when they hear a...

  6. HIPAA.... violation or not....

    xtxrn replied to brendasue's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Having the baby photos on many sites can be 'pubic' or friends/family only . The hospital doesn't just post the photos. It's the parent's

  7. Rn hurt by cold behavior

    xtxrn replied to RNHURT's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry this is happening. WHile it feels very personal, it's all about business. They need to have someone who isn't having to take the time off (and I understand why you would). They fired you-...

    xtxrn replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    :yeah::yeah::yeah: Another lost sibling And, yeah- we tend to not be very constipated over there- verbally or otherwise But we have a LOT of fun, and there's a definite feeling of it being...

  9. Does Simethicone Work?

    xtxrn replied to yuzzamatuzz's topic in General Nursing

    From my last reading up on it, there are virtually NO interactions or side effects... unless going for a GI test where they give ya the Alka Seltzer on steroids junk to NOT burp, and roll around under...

  10. Does Simethicone Work?

    xtxrn replied to yuzzamatuzz's topic in General Nursing

    To "rack" an adult, would an IV pole be enough to suspend the syringe

  11. Need opinion! ASAP

    xtxrn replied to IreneM555's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck in whatever you

  12. Does Simethicone Work?

    xtxrn replied to yuzzamatuzz's topic in General Nursing

    I buy the stuff in pallets. Works very well.... maybe there are some impervious types of gas that it doesn't work on....but for pre-syncopal intensity gas, I won't let my supply run out. Dog likes...

  13. "No Complaints Voiced"??

    xtxrn replied to Hooch's topic in General Nursing

    If no complaints are offered, why bring it up at all? "No complaints offered" could mean he didn't mention that he thought the wallpaper was butt ugly. Too vague. Won't protect anybody in a...

  14. what would you have done

    xtxrn replied to nursegreenbean's topic in General Nursing

    The term "resident" means LTC to me...hospitals hardly keep them long enough to be 'drive-thru customers' . LTC nurses don't do full assessments on every resident every shift. On SNF/Rehab- there...

    xtxrn replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

  18. How to explain depression/PTSD to young children

    xtxrn replied to verivici's topic in Patient Education

    And let the kids know that no matter how dad is feeling or acting, it's nothing THEY did... even if something happens that may appear that way. That dad can be very confused about what he is feeling,...

  19. Need advice about care of a consumer

    xtxrn replied to mttzakr87's topic in General Nursing

    Horrifying thought isn't it...... But this is outside of a hospital...maybe client/resident is becoming "consumer" (not much better). Sorry, OP.... just sharing an observation

  20. I'm grateful for you crusty old bats

    xtxrn replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    As long as the bat doesn't come with a "ding", you're good Latin term: dingus batticus.... it's

  25. swabbing off iv ports or saline locks before hooking up fluids

    xtxrn replied to tjnurse67's topic in General Nursing

    It's an even better bargain than you thought :) A box of 100 at a grocery store is about 3 bucks.... 3 cents/swab...and buying bulk in the hospital, gotta be a cent at most.... Swab away,
