  1. Should i go over my manager's head

    PetsToPeople replied to Ladybluebell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A less toxic work place, are you kidding me?! Sign me up, I'd work there in a sec because I would want to work in a place that maintains basic standards of

  2. Should i go over my manager's head

    PetsToPeople replied to Ladybluebell's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow, you are totally blind...I don't think I've ever really seen this much delusion before. You may have been there for 7 yrs but I would't be surprised if your new manager is working on getting you...

  4. Has Nursing hardened you?

    PetsToPeople replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    This whole post is....awesome

  5. Was this a fair consequence?

    PetsToPeople replied to danachap1's topic in General Nursing

    The way they see it, if you are willing to steal $3 worth of something, you are willing to steal more. If you can't be trusted not to steal, then what else can you not be trusted with? Plus, some...

  6. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I find it interesting that you quoted a site that is pro universal type health care coverage, and pardon me if I am not worried that it is costing an extra $100 a month on the average family plan,...

  7. YOU as a Pt-what would you allow a student nurse to do?

    PetsToPeople replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    Well he should have been thinking that a 20g or larger is preferred for IV contrast

  8. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    God forbid you ever have to go to the emergeny room with a non-emergency related illness that you can't afford to have treated at the local after-hours clinic because the cost is $80 just to be seen,...

  9. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No, because the loss of uncovered costs is covered by the privately owned hospitals, not by the insurance companies, which are completely different entities. And if hospitals are increasing their...

  10. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Maybe I am missing something here because I have seen this in several posts...but you do not pay higher health premiums to cover for those without health insurance or those on medicaid/medicare, that...

  11. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    What "really burns my soup" is that....I can only hit "like" on this

  12. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You can read my other post where I expained that my husband is working a minimum wage job and the cost of basic health insurance for three of us would be $900 a month. A difficult amt to cover for...

  13. To all "medical coverage is a privilege" folks:

    PetsToPeople replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    $100-200 bucks, huh, that's all you think insurance costs? Through my husbands just over minimum wage job he can get basic health insurance for the three of us at the low low cost of $900 per month...

  14. So.....the infection control nurse busted me.....

    PetsToPeople replied to mindlor's topic in General Students

    I read your entire post, and it's you who is not getting the concept of infection control. It doesn't matter that you didn't go into that pt's room, it's that you left the other room with dirty hands...

  15. Normal Birth

    PetsToPeople replied to arabianeyez83's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Basically exactly the opposite of what happens on a hospital L&D floor...I hated my clinical time in that dept. I was very disappointed by my own 2 hospital birthing experiences and wish to this...

  16. So.....the infection control nurse busted me.....

    PetsToPeople replied to mindlor's topic in General Students

    And it's not just about cleaning your hands after you leave one room and enter another, you are also cleaning your hands after leaving a room because you may not go into another room, but may go and...

  17. What is the answer to this question!?

    PetsToPeople replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    They should be producing an absolute minimum of 30mls/hr of urine, 50mls/hr is best. If they are not then their kidneys are not being perfused (many possibilities why) and something is wrong. You...

  18. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    PetsToPeople replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

  19. Asking family not to visit for a week or two to help a dementia resident adjust?

    PetsToPeople replied to Nascar nurse's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    Each pt is different and perhaps it would be worth a try to see if it would help, but like you said, her family may want to spend as much time with her as possible. Is she stressed when they visit?...

  20. A&P....love it or hate it?

    PetsToPeople replied to snow_bear's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    love it! i love knowing how everything works...i think my favorite word is

  21. Sorry Nurse Recruiters/Nurse Managers!

    PetsToPeople replied to Isitpossible's topic in Nurse Management

    OP, as a person who has done interviewing myself, you have to see it from their eyes. Imagine sitting in an office all day, going over resume after resume and interviewing person after person until...

  22. Unappreciated by the patient's family

    PetsToPeople replied to orangepink's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sounds like you are doing a great job and that you are a caring nurse, I'm sorry that the patients family can't see

  23. Just Amazed

    PetsToPeople replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I do support you, in everything else you said except for the inappropriate phrase of "peepee pants". And I am having fun in nursing school, as a matter of fact I am having a blast, making excellent...

  24. Just Amazed

    PetsToPeople replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    The fact that you would ask means it would be a waste of time to explain it to you. It sounds exactly like what another student would call one who has had an "accident" to make fun of or tease them....

  25. Just Amazed

    PetsToPeople replied to SchoolNurseTXstyle's topic in School

    I've noticed that on AN when someone doesn't have a decent comeback, they resort to "your not a nurse yet so you can't possibly have any input". Fine, then not as a nurse, or student nurse, but as a...
