  1. Issues with Mgmt (Long Rant)

    poopprincess replied to pandapixie's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you should talk to "B". You guys need to find a happy work together medium because right now she has her eyes on you and you are so defensive that even if she did offer constructive...

  2. Vodka tampons?!?

    poopprincess replied to Christy1019's topic in Emergency

    I was a teenage idiot. However, I just wasn't that creative and neither were my

  3. Is there a demand for Rad Techs?

    poopprincess replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in Nursing Career

    I would suggest tutoring to get your test score up and turn your weaknesses into strengths. All of these other programs still have entrance exams with similiar

  4. New Grad in LTAC

    poopprincess replied to mandyc8047's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    OP, how is it

  5. Long term foley use

    poopprincess replied to Vtachy1's topic in General Nursing

    You could take it out and see if it helps. Suprapubic catheter is not necessary if he is dying. Sometimes irrigating the catheter can help-if there is blood or sediment that is clogging it then it may...

  6. Rectal Cath. Foley bag disposal?

    poopprincess replied to MN.MelissaCNA's topic in General Nursing

    We put them in biohazard (red)

  7. Rant: I will SHOW you where it is

    poopprincess replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    Annoying. People need to take initiave and familiarize themselves with the unit they work on. As soon as I got my job I spent down time opening random drawers just to see what was in them for future...

  8. Who has more stess RT or RN?

    poopprincess replied to samirish's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Has she considered PT? It comes with it's on set of problems/stress as anything does, but it would give her direct patient care in a hospital or outpatient setting and awesome hours! I agree with the...

  9. If I see one more post titled....

    poopprincess replied to PinkRocksLikeMe's topic in General Nursing

  10. Things that nurses say that may seem inappropriate to lay people

    poopprincess replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    "Your butt is pretty red. I'm going to put some cream on it and we'll keep you laying on your sides so it doesn't get any worse." Or the pt. who has a healing decubitis "Wow! Your butt is looking a...

  11. TPN question

    poopprincess replied to birdie22's topic in General Nursing

    IVRUS, I wish my facility would agree with you! Sure would save me a lot of time in the mornings, especially when I forget to cut it off.

  12. TPN question

    poopprincess replied to birdie22's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught TPN/Lipids run solo with their own port. When we do labs, we stop it for 15 min. and flush with 20 ml. before drawing. We also try not to pull lines from that port, but we will if it is a...

  13. "If they really cared about their mom, they wouldn't of put her in a nursing home"

    poopprincess replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm with the "mind your own business." There are way too many comments on here for me to read them all so sorry if I am a repeat. First off people don't know the relationship between the family...

  14. Top three patient complaints?

    poopprincess replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in General Nursing

    "Nurse my blood sugar is 86! I need to get it up-I'm really worried about it. 86 is sooooo low. Please bring me a Glucerna!" "Why can't I go out and smoke? Please?!?! I just want to walk outside with...

  15. is it just me?

    poopprincess replied to UpinawayRN's topic in General Nursing

    YES! Just this morning (4th 12 hr. shift in a row-finally time to go) I went to my last pt. for 0600 meds. Her feeding pump had a technical failure, so I get a new pump. The new pump gets reprogrammed...

  16. Number of patients you care for?

    poopprincess replied to winter_green's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work in LTAC Vent patients-4 (I rarely get lucky enough to get these guys) Med-surg-5-6 (usually 6) and I am lucky to have one walkie-talkie in the group. Usually at least four of them are total...

  17. What is your biggest nursing pet peeve?

    poopprincess replied to ferfer's topic in General Nursing

    I can't stand being interrupted during report or nurses who want to talk about how nice the patient is/or how horrible their families are for 20 min. I'm sorry they looked at you funny or asked for...

  18. Why did you pick your username?

    poopprincess replied to made's topic in General Nursing

    I chose mine because when I am at work that is usually what I feel like I am. And Pooperscooper was taken.

  19. Sabbatical from work...i.e. traveling

    poopprincess replied to lovemenursing's topic in Nursing Career

    Can I come? That sounds awesome!

  20. Night shift Moms - how do you do it?

    poopprincess replied to all4ofus's topic in General Nursing

    I am a night shift mom and it is doable, but I have support from my husband. He is in school so he doesn't work. He gets my son up in the mornings and gets him to all of his football practices and...

  21. Being interrupted during report.

    poopprincess replied to chicklet74's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do not like being interrupted during report-HUGE pet peeve. That nurse was being rude IMO. That is great she had a baby and such, but I would have politely spoken up to keep things moving along....

  22. Happy Moment

    poopprincess posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I went to the gas station on the way home from work this morning to get a biscuit and I ran into an old patient of mine. He looked GREAT! I can't describe how awesome it really was to see him...

  23. Administered wrong antibiotic

    poopprincess replied to carrie_c's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Exactly. She should take some of the responsibility. I think that if she doesn't, she will only make herself look bad. As for charge, I guess lesson learned. That is the thing with nursing, hospitals...

  24. Happy Moment

    poopprincess replied to poopprincess's topic in General Nursing

    That is really cool that your daughter said that! Coming from a 'preteen' that is quite the compliment! I remember myself at that age...my parents were def. lame. Actually, anything that I wasn't...

  25. New nurse

    poopprincess replied to luvemmaboo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I had the same problem and sometimes still do (been a nurse for 4 mo.). YES, it gets better. Try not to worry once you get in your car, as your shift is over. You have to be able to make your personal...
