  1. Have you worked with a GOAT in healthcare?

    Susie2310 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I observed a nurse who I thought was outstanding: Extraordinarily positive attitude; very professional; happy; congenial; energetic; helpful to co-workers and patients/family members; dealing with...

  2. Pulling Meds For Another Nurse To Pass

    Susie2310 replied to Dudlydorite's topic in General Nursing

    I would refuse to do this

  4. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) vs. Allow Natural Death (AND)

    Susie2310 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    To clarify, I meant to say that the patient in their 80's who experienced cardiac arrest survived to discharge and walked out of the

  5. Do Not Resuscitate (DNR) vs. Allow Natural Death (AND)

    Susie2310 replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid I have reservations about the situation as described in the OP. I also don't agree that DNR should be replaced by the term AND, as not proceeding to resuscitate a patient who's heart has...

  6. Fired (Wrongfully?) And It Hurts

    Susie2310 replied to joansmith1's topic in General Nursing

    I actually suspect that in some situations there was never, from the very beginning, any real intention to hire the new employee, even if they demonstrated superstar abilities. That the new...

  8. Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    Susie2310 replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think the health official is doing what they can to help people to feel comfortable with getting vaccinated. I believe that is the intention. If being vaccinated discreetly (no waiting in public...

  9. I don’t know if I want to be a nurse anymore

    Susie2310 replied to Vigirl465's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, and I would add to this that in my opinion/experience, without a solid support system, I.e. supportive family, sufficient finances, stable housing, food security, and reliable transportation,...

  10. The Cost of the Health Care Workforce

    Susie2310 replied to Tammy Leigh's topic in General Nursing

    I think the expectation and demand (which is satisfied) that so many new nurses are perpetually produced leads to a lot of waste. There appears to be little desire on the part of employers to hire...

  11. Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    Susie2310 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    If I understood correctly, the nurses didn't explain to the patient the reason why they needed to check the patient's genital area, and they didn't ask the patient for their permission to do this. By...

  12. Hernia Repair Patient Dignity

    Susie2310 replied to Catfostermom's topic in General Nursing

    To be a spectator means to watch an event. I think this is what the poster you were replying to was referring

  13. Predatory New Grad Contracts

    Susie2310 replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    If the contract clearly specified the OP's responsibilities and the facility's responsibilities in writing, so that the OP would have known upon reading it that there was a financial penalty for not...

  14. Hospice Patient’s Family Refusing Hospice Cares

    Susie2310 replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    Respectfully, I think your example of: "See how much I love you Mother? etc." is generally inaccurate. I think staff often tend to perceive that the patient's family member is motivated by guilt and...

  15. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    The above sounds very reasonable and sensible to me. The section "How might this be applied to practice?" focuses on good communication with patients and on building trust with patients, which I...

  18. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I have already clarified this point for you, and have provided a number of examples, so I'm not sure why you continue to choose to believe this in spite of my extensive clarifications/providing...

  19. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding from Wuzzie's posts on this thread (Wuzzie, please feel free to correct me if I have misunderstood you) is that Wuzzie believes that the radiology reports should in all cases not be...

  21. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I said that if the ordering provider has already viewed the report they can use their judgment to send a personal note along with it. I would also presume that for significant findings the...

  22. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    Why? We're professional nurses with licenses and we always say we want to be thought of as professionals. Part of being a professional is being accountable to the public for the professional nursing...

  23. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not talking about an auto-response. I'm talking about a message appended to the radiology results stating that context for the radiology report needs to be provided by the ordering provider,...

  24. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time

    Susie2310 replied to Tnurse24's topic in General Nursing

    A facility can add a note to the released record stating that the ordering provider needs to provide context for the radiology report findings. I've seen this

  25. Patients Viewing Nursing Notes In Real Time
