  1. "He just wanted to know..."

    Susie2310 replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Of course it's up to you as to what information you share about yourself. But if you tell your colleagues basic personal information about yourself (as you did) they are likely to think that since...

  2. "He just wanted to know..."

    Susie2310 replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    According to the OP, the RNs' shared information the OP had already provided them with in regard to "Where she was from," "What she is doing in this country," and "Whether she has children." If these...

  3. "He just wanted to know..."

    Susie2310 replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Providing basic information about oneself when one is a PCP is hardly a professional boundary violation; more a facilitator to communication. "I come from . . . ." "I plan on practicing here for (x...

  4. "He just wanted to know..."

    Susie2310 replied to KatieMI's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Have you thought that your patients probably would just like to get to know you a little and also find out if you plan on being their provider in the long term? Patients are not machines; they are...

  5. Tech falsified vitals

    Susie2310 replied to Presbynurse12345's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm thinking this is something that the BON should know

  6. Did I make terrible mistake?!?!? Help

    Susie2310 replied to ativanman's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My thought is that where the doctor said that "It wouldn't hurt to space the oxy's out but it was fine," I think it would be appropriate for the doctor to specify how close to the scheduled oxy he/she...

  7. Case Study: Can You Prevent This Medical Error?

    Susie2310 replied to SafetyNurse1968's topic in Critical Care

    Good article and a very necessary reminder of why it is so important not to cut corners using the "Five Rights." I remember my nursing instructors from over 20 years ago telling us that when...

  8. 5 Questions to Ask if You Think Your Patient is a Victim of Domestic Violence

    Susie2310 replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Unexplained STI's can be a sign of DV if the abuser is infected and infects their victim. What does adultery have to do with this? Adultery means sexual activity by a married person with a person...

  9. Do you use the title "Dr."?

    Susie2310 replied to DreameRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    And the level of evidence. And the population/s being studied. To name just two

  10. From medical staff to nursing

    Susie2310 replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was afraid that if I made a similar comment I would be accused of hatred towards NP's, even though I am just stating facts, but you said what I think. I was reluctant to comment because obviously...

  11. Calling Report to ER from Urgent Care

    Susie2310 replied to misdetermined's topic in General Nursing

    I already provided an example of a situation that translated to needing an ED bed immediately. The patient had a diagnosis and assessment findings that could very quickly lead to loss of life or...

  12. Calling Report to ER from Urgent Care

    Susie2310 replied to misdetermined's topic in General Nursing

    You seem to be taking my comment personally, but I personally will take an Urgent Care physician's assessment that I or my family member needs to be evaluated and treated promptly in the ED over an ED...

  13. Calling Report to ER from Urgent Care

    Susie2310 replied to misdetermined's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not suggesting that an ESI would be less accurate for a patient coming from Urgent Care specifically; the accuracy of triage for all patients varies depending on a number of factors, for example,...

  14. Calling Report to ER from Urgent Care

    Susie2310 replied to misdetermined's topic in General Nursing

    Some patients go to the Urgent Care with symptoms that are actually emergency medical problems or that will pose a threat to life if they don't receive prompt medical evaluation and treatment. These...

  15. Inexperienced nurse in a more critical role

    Susie2310 replied to marilynaalvarez's topic in General Nursing

    For the patients' sake and for your sake, this does not sound like a position for an inexperienced

  16. Gender Discrimination Against Nurses or Other Healthcare Providers?

    Susie2310 replied to CocoBug20's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. I was making a specific point to the OP that I was taught that a patient has the legal right to refuse care from any caregiver for any reason. That is the point I intended to make based on the...

  17. Gender Discrimination Against Nurses or Other Healthcare Providers?

    Susie2310 replied to CocoBug20's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught in nursing school that patients have the legal right to refuse care from any caregiver, for any reason, and that to continue to provide care if a patient has refused can constitute...

  18. Since when is it okay to be late ?

    Susie2310 replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    As far as anecdotal data being reliable; it really depends on the situation and the people involved. For example, why wouldn't CapeCodMermaid (who is a Director of Nursing if I recall correctly),...

  19. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't assume anything about your comment to me; I just responded to your words as

  20. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, of course that's true and I am aware of that. My comment obviously couldn't apply to every possible

  21. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I assume you are referring to my comment which was based on another poster's comment to me. I was stating a fact and there is no insult. So here is the discussion and my justification for my comment...

  22. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Show me where I've said that nurses can control the hospital situation. And because you managed to cope with the stressors you were faced with in your specific situation when you were hospitalized...

  23. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm not suggesting that abuse from patients is acceptable. To help your reading comprehension here's part of what I said in my last comment to you again: "Now, just to clarify, no-one is...

  24. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    It's about more than just making eye contact. It's about one's whole conduct. Have you read the Nurses' Code of Ethics? It sounds as though you haven't, and as a licensed nurse you really should...

  25. So TIRED OF IT

    Susie2310 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    No, what is being written here shows evidence of the
