  1. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    Susie2310 replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello Jules; to aid you I have re-posted Katie's comment below. How unfortunate that you conflate opinion with fact and judge other people so harshly too. 6:17 pm by KatieMI, BSN, RN "Yes, it is a...

  2. Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction

    Susie2310 replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    Patients absolutely should express their opinions and experiences of the care they receive on the surveys. This provides information to the payor about the services they are paying for by the person...

  3. Is the Baby Boomer Generation not going to get good care?

    Susie2310 replied to Cola89's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow. Talk about judgmental. Your post certainly is full of human kindness. Let's make sure we judge other peoples choices too. You are also paying for costly wars and for financial bail outs and...

  4. Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction

    Susie2310 replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    The patient is the recipient/consumer of the health care services and they/their insurance are paying for their care, so yes, they have the right to express their opinion about the quality of the care...

  5. When Nurses Make Fatal Mistakes

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Are you saying that a lighter degree of disciplinary procedures is merited when a practitioner has disclosed their error fully in a timely manner regardless of the patient outcome? Mistakes,...

  7. When Nurses Make Fatal Mistakes

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    There are people who will lie about their mistakes and/or try to hide them if they perceive there will be negative consequences for them such as being reported to their state Board of nursing,...

  8. Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction

    Susie2310 replied to JanineKelbach's topic in General Nursing

    I disagree with the OP's premise that Nurse Satisfaction comes before Patient Satisfaction i.e. the facility is primarily responsible for providing the nurse's satisfaction. A number of nurses don't...

  9. When Nurses Make Fatal Mistakes

    Susie2310 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    It is true that everyone makes mistakes, but that does not absolve us from personal responsibility for doing our very best to safely administer medications and from ensuring we have safe medication...

  10. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    While a nurse may believe they are keeping their opinions/prejudices about the patient/their family to themself there's actually a very good chance their behavior is reflecting their prejudices even...

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Read the Merriam Webster online dictionary entry for prejudice. You'll see it doesn't just refer to

  13. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why do you think complaints of this nature would necessarily be unsubstantiated? You are referring to just one BON. And don't you have a standard of personal behavior that is based on more than just...

  14. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I didn't find your question relevant; that's why I didn't answer

  15. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses do get reported and disciplined by the BON for unprofessional conduct. And patients do comment to administrators and in surveys on the quality of the nursing care they received including the...

  16. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's a sad thing for your patients if the Code of Ethics doesn't mean anything to

  17. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I recommend reading the ANA Nurses Code of Ethics. Yes, much of our judgement happens subconsciously, but it manifests in our thoughts and behaviors towards patients and their family members. We are...

  18. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just said in my post above that "No-one is condoning abuse, but the majority of patient/family behavior is not abusive." Are you going to state that this is not the case, and that the majority of...

  19. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The patient is sick/under a lot of stress and their family is under a lot of stress. It is not reasonable to have the same expectations of behavior that one would have of a well person. No-one is...

  20. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I believe we should be making an effort to keep an open mind. Actually, it's not that difficult to temper our judgement. All it takes is some humility. Realizing we are only seeing a snapshot of...

  21. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The difference is that we are caring for very sick patients and are dealing with life and death. That's very different to if my plumber has a bad attitude/makes negative judgements about me when he...

  22. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, and some nurses simply have uncaring attitudes towards patients and their families. We can always find a million reasons why. And to the patient or their family the effect is the

    I'm sure we'd all like to believe that is

  24. Please Don't Judge Patients

    Susie2310 replied to NurseLife88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Great post OP - I hope it gets lots of views, and the only thing I would add is: "Please let's remember to not judge patients families either." And before people jump in to tell us for the umpteenth...
