  1. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

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

  2. I don't know how you nurses deal with death

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

    That wasn't my point. I was saying that it must be hard to deal with death and dying on a regular basis. To me it doesn't matter if it's a loved one or a patient-it's the part about watching someone...

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

  4. Seriously?!?!

    Poochiewoochie replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    I have medicaid and I pay a co-pay. I'm a little confused as to how a nurse would know what a patients co-pay is to begin with since it is against the law to ask someone in the ER if they have...

  5. Ever "rip 'em a new one''?

    Poochiewoochie replied to blackvans1234's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  10. You know its a seeker when . . .

    Poochiewoochie replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Emergency

    Really? You assume that everyone that does that is a drug seeker? How compassionate of you. When I had my cervical spine problem I was told to carry the copy of my MRI wherever I went by the MRI tech...

  11. What is the first thing you do when you put a fall-risk pt in the bed?

    Poochiewoochie replied to Tyris's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Isn't the facility being paid to take care of that lady? Why the "her family abandoned her". Sorry, but I don't think the family should be doing what the NH is responsible for. I can see you saying...

    Correct me if I am wrong, but you did ask for opinions. Sometimes we don't always hear what we want and in life you have to take the good with the

  14. I'm getting terminated from my first nursing job

    Poochiewoochie replied to Nurseadam's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would put down in the hobbies section of the applications that you like to have sex with co-workers in the hospital's parking lot. After all, honesty is the best policy and it will save you the...

    Poochiewoochie replied to ammonthenephite's topic in General Nursing

    At the place I worked the room where they made the donuts was filthy and disgusting. The floor was so dirty and full of ants. One of my co-workers had no qualms about smoking in that room and her...

  16. Is bringing dougnuts for my clinical unit o.k.?

    Poochiewoochie replied to ammonthenephite's topic in General Nursing

    I always laugh when someone says they would prefer to eat a dunkin donut or krispy creme before eating something homemade. I used to work at Dunkin Donuts when I was in high school and all I will say...

    Poochiewoochie replied to Angie O'Plasty's topic in Nursing Humor

  19. Nurses please try to look a little more polished at work

    Poochiewoochie replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in General Nursing

    If the comments had come from someone who wasn't a Christian would you all have been so offended? Because that's what I'm reading into many of the comments. That it came from someone who is a...

  20. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

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

    I'm a patient and I've read these vents. A lot of them are hilarious-especially the demanding patients who come in with hang nails or the families of patients who think that because their LO is sick...

    Poochiewoochie replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    It was a nurse that did it, not a CNA. And to to BrandonLPN and others that agree with him; my Mom is in a NH and if that ever happened to my Mom I would be reporting said nurse to the DON of the NH....

    Poochiewoochie replied to asiangal's topic in Post Graduate Students
