  1. False accusations.

    Vishwamitr replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Normally, I would've chosen to discuss this with you but just because of your choice of words in ventilating your feelings, I restraint and refrain myself from any further dialogues. Nurses are...

    Vishwamitr replied to Mommy&RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A pain-medication seeking patient frequented nurses' station for "my oxycontin". My co-nurse told him that his PRN was not due for another 1 hour. 59 minutes later, he returned, "Can I have my LPN...

  6. Am I doing the right thing? New nurse getting butt kicked

    Vishwamitr replied to j_tay1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Quote, "sometimes I'm there charting or helping with pt-care two hours after I was supposed to get off." Dear ChrisRN, Just out of curiosity, do you get paid for those extra 2 hours? I wouldn't be...

  7. I think I'm done with nursing.

    Vishwamitr replied to MBrickle's topic in General Nursing

  8. Needing Advise

    Vishwamitr replied to Brianrn's topic in General Nursing

    Pardon my ignorance Altra, but the supervisor is exactly right about what? When a discharge is withheld as per MD's orders, yes, the hospital does get

  9. Needing Advise

    Vishwamitr replied to Brianrn's topic in General Nursing

    Dear BrianRN, You did absolutely what a prudent or a compassionate nurse would've done in a comparable situation, bro. It's not like that you instigated the patient to stay overnight. She was the one...

  10. Giving up

    Vishwamitr replied to MommyandRN's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi Amygarside, With all due respect to your advice, I believe that with 1 year of RN experience, one cannot be a nurse-educator. But I respect your opinion. It's just that I did not want you to raise...

  11. I think I'm done with nursing.

    Vishwamitr replied to MBrickle's topic in General Nursing

    Dear MBrickle, Perhaps a little hiatus (an extended vacation to Europe, etc.) will not be a bad idea. When you are away, perhaps, you'll miss what you have selflessly done for such a long time....

  14. Good nurse vs bad nurse

    Vishwamitr replied to PankaD89's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Dear Namaste nurse, Your advice to PankaD89 was as colorful and idyllic as your rangoli (inset design). The best part of your post was, "As you get older you won't look outside yourself for kudos"....

  15. Dear Boss

    Vishwamitr replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear Brown-eyed girl, I don't believe that it is legal anywhere and if it is, pray that ACA (Affordable Care Act) kicks in and then your employers will have no choice to offer the medical insurance...

  16. Dear Boss

    Vishwamitr replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dear Ms./Mr. Carroll, I respectfully wish to disagree with you that its whom you know [that is important] and not what your credentials are. In my nearly 2 decades of nursing, I have witnessed many...

    Vishwamitr replied to nikkole318's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Vishwamitr replied to aloneandforgotten's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Dear 1pinknurse, I don't mean to generalize and don't mean to speak for anyone else, but most nurses have made medication-errors, sometime or the other; the only difference is that some got caught and...

    Vishwamitr replied to GA_RN2006's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Dear GA_RN, It is not my place to judge you (or judge anyone else for that matter) but personally I feel that 2 years is a very short period of time to be declared "recovered". I also believe that one...

    Vishwamitr replied to baglemae22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Vishwamitr replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Activism, Healthcare
