  1. Patient complaints after being in stirrups

    Poochiewoochie replied to brownbook's topic in Operating Room

    Both times when I had foot surgery I never was in stirrups. I woke up and I was just flat on the

  2. How do you talk to patients with weight issues?

    Poochiewoochie replied to CrystalSSA's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What I find ironic in this debate is that there are quite a lot of people in the medical field who have weight problems and I find it funny when one starts lecturing me about being 5 or 10 pounds...

  4. What's the coolest operation you've watched??

    Poochiewoochie replied to SuzieVN's topic in Medical-Surgical

    My NS refuses to do ACDF's on smokers. Luckily I quit a long time ago. Smokers have an arrogance about them. My neighbor has had problems with the mesh they use for hernia repairs and is now trying to...

  5. Awful Doctors

    Poochiewoochie replied to JKimRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What gets me is that this seems to be all about the poor nurse whose feelings were hurt because the big bad MD called her out for a mistake she made in front of others. What about the poor patient...

  6. Tell the CNA to clock out and go home

    Poochiewoochie replied to Blackcat99's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I believe she was sticking up for the CNAs. If people are so upset with their lazy CNAs why do places insist on a year's experience? I know a lot of people who went to CNA classes and can't find jobs...

    That still wouldn't stop the majority of

  8. Has anyone made a medication error and *not* get fired for it?

    Poochiewoochie replied to pinkiepieRN's topic in Patient Medications

    I know the nurse who gave my Mom the wrong medication one day wasn't fired from the

  9. How to decrease pain during foley cath or straight cath procedure

    Poochiewoochie replied to sameyjaney's topic in General Nursing

    I had a catheter when I had surgery and it didn't hurt at all when the nurse removed it the next day. I also had one inserted while I was awake for a urine sample and they didn't

  10. Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Yeah, I remember that. When I went to CNA classes a while back there was a mother in it who swore up and down her kid had autism due to some vaccinations they

  11. Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    But, but....he's one of Oprah's sell-outs so he must be the real

    Me too,

  13. Dr Oz's show on antidepressants...your thoughts?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Marshall1's topic in Health, Stress Management

    The man's a heart surgeon. What the heck does he know about diabetes. One has to remember he is one of Oprah's favorites along with Dr.Phil. It's s shame that the mindless sheep that worship her also...

  14. man sent home with a broken leg

    Poochiewoochie replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    And as usual people who are replying on that page fail to read the entire article. Love the comments about Medicare even though Canada is socialized medicine and doesn't have

  15. I don't want a male nurse! - Caption Contest Winner

    Poochiewoochie replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    The best Gyno I've ever has was a male. I had bleeding for 7 weeks after I went off the pill and my female provider at the time just laughed at it-said if it were any consolation my period would...

  16. Dear patients, families, MDs and fellow RNs

    Poochiewoochie replied to BeinganRN9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, after reading the OP comments one has to wonder if you aren't bothering your nurse while hospitalized. I can understand the comments towards the families and doctors but patients aren't in the...

  17. Dear patients, families, MDs and fellow RNs

    Poochiewoochie replied to BeinganRN9's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How are they supposed to get ice water then if they can't ring the call bell? Get up and get it themselves? Or when you do rounds once an

  18. I have a new respect for familes who lose loved ones

    Poochiewoochie replied to Glycerine82's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm sorry for your loss. Pets are family members to a lot of people-ours was to us. However, I was with my dog and my Mom when they died. My dog was euthanized and it was a rather quiet death unlike...

  19. Rant: sick of MAs

    Poochiewoochie replied to mclennan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know. My neighbor says our apartment complex is becoming all ghetto. He meant it as a eference to what has been going on. Trash in the hallways and loud music. It's not like that now since the one...

  20. Lazy and disrespectful Nursing Assistants

    Poochiewoochie replied to lilaclover6984's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You know what's funny? There are a lot of CNA's who can't get jobs because they have no experience. Most places want a year's experience. Maybe these places should change their employment...

  21. Patient asked me what an IV med was for..i didnt know

    Poochiewoochie replied to NursingBro's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Just remember-all the nurses here that are reading you the riot act for not knowing were once new themselves. They need to take a step back and look at how they were when they were new. I'm sure they...

  22. patient videos

    Poochiewoochie replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Especially since it happened in 1995. Kind of late to be worrying about whether you were videotaped,

  23. Noise level at night

    Poochiewoochie replied to NoonsRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I had surgery last year I couldn't believe how inconsiderate the nurses were at night. I was right next to the nurses station and one in particular-mine-had the biggest mouth. I could hear every...

    Poochiewoochie replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's the consent form the hospital that I had my surgeries uses. As you can see, OP, it is very short and to the point. I have a feeling it is what most hospitals have and seriously can not see the...

    Poochiewoochie replied to J.R.theR.N2b's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I saw my name in there but due to the fact it's one big paragraph I didn't read your post. Post that are one huge paragraph give me a headache when I read them. I will say this-I think you are making...
