  1. Dead bodies?

    relgis15 posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Last night we had four codes. All of them ended badly (Patients died). One of my functions is to bring the bodies to the morgue, and this was my first time handling a dead person. I had to tag them...

    relgis15 replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    this is absolutely horrible advice. i have worked in a number of technical arenas from information technology to nursing to engineering etc. it is never okay to write in 1st person! not only does it...

  7. Why do nurses chart in 3rd person?

    relgis15 replied to Cobweb's topic in General Nursing

    Mainly because we observe the patient from a third person perspective. Luckily for you, I minored in english so I will give some insight. First person is generally reserved for informal writing. When...

    No need for all those tears. I guarantee it is going to happen again. Just calm

  9. someone put soap in my drink!!

    relgis15 replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Everybody walks on egg shells. Even the patients tremble when they reach for the call light. It's great. Of course I'm just kidding, but for some reason I'm in a great mood tonight. It must be the...

  10. Personal advice needed!

    relgis15 replied to bailee4's topic in General Nursing

    I think the biggest problem facing nursing as a profession is a lack of empathy by many. I see some nurses who are like robots with patient care, and simply want a paycheck. They got into the field...

  11. Sudden code & death of suspected meningitis pt... opinions please!

    relgis15 replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in General Nursing

    Why wouldn't they have done an lp in this scenario? Makes absolutely no sense to me. I'm gonna agree with the others on

  12. someone put soap in my drink!!

    relgis15 replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Even though I probably would have flipped my lid over this childish kindergarten BS, children, or those who act like children do this to get a rise out of people. The best thing you could do is...

  13. Failed pre-employment drug screen

    relgis15 replied to OlderRNinGA's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, but she is a nurse, and she did it anyway. If I understood the original posting correctly she did it with a prescription for percocet (A better, more effective drug) in her hand. I mean she...

  14. Failed pre-employment drug screen

    relgis15 replied to OlderRNinGA's topic in General Nursing

    Don't think I can give you any sympathy here. This was a stupid mistake, and the object is to learn from it. The lesson here is NEVER!! take prescription meds that are for someone else. I would...

    Oh Wow! That is the funniest thing I have ever heard. I feel bad for your coworker, but wow. Thanks for posting this story. I wish I had one similar but nothing tops

  18. What do I do if the patient's family member is very fresh because I am a sitter?

    relgis15 replied to leogirl8's topic in General Nursing

    When my mother was in ICU, I gave her nurse absolute hell, and that was when I was 16. Unfortunately, the stress on a family member often gets projected onto the care takers undeservedly. If I had a...

  19. New grad: ER or Med-surg?

    relgis15 replied to Studentnurse418's topic in Emergency

    It seems to me that med/surg teaches you the basic and vital skills needed to have a rock solid foundation in nursing. But, this is a level 1 trauma center, and probably a teaching hospital. If you...

  20. All nurses do is wipe butts

    relgis15 replied to MyUserName,RN's topic in General Nursing

    This is what you need to do....Just dig deep to the depths of your soul and hock the biggest loogey humanly possible and spit it right in their face. They will never do that again.

  21. compliance with hand hygien

    relgis15 replied to zahraa ali's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, if the fact that the number one cause of death in a hospital is infection, isn't enough for your staff to wash their hands, then there is nothing you can

  22. what states NEED nurses ?

    relgis15 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I'm speaking exclusively of critical access hospitals. I know Ms is full of nurses, but the hospitals in the delta region really need help. I saw in the paper that they are offering sign on bonuses...

  23. Who has more stess RT or RN?

    relgis15 replied to samirish's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm new to the hospital world, but there is not one position that involves keeping a person alive that is not stressful. Sorry, but I'm not qualified to tell you which profession involves more stress,...

  24. a question about cardiac arrest w/asystole!

    relgis15 replied to YZ1911's topic in General Nursing

    I've never seen it. A similar question came up once at a club meeting for my college class and none of the nursing professors had seen it either and they have all worked at level one trauma

  25. what states NEED nurses ?

    relgis15 replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Wow that is crazy. The market is so oversaturated hospitals can pretty much just take their pick. I still think the OP would have better chances with critical access, especially in the south....
