  3. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    amoLucia replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    Crazy things CAN happen! One of my LTC/NH pts had the funky-est urine I had ever seen in her SP tubing. Then I noticed how VERY CLOSE the SP stoma was next to her GT stoma! I REALLLLLY suspected that...

  5. Travel Wish List

    amoLucia replied to dianah's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    amoLucia's list: - Scotland, home to Mary, Queen of Scots. - England, but really only the Tower of London. You can ask for a special tour as I'd like to walk up Traitor's Gate steps. I...

  6. Let the Healing Begin

    amoLucia replied to amoLucia's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    Awards can be awarded again. I never even thought to know what Dr Fauci's first name was (Anthony). I still want to nominate him for the Nobel Prize! And much kudos to Pres Biden for his...

    to MRO5415 - New member. Welcome to

  8. NY Lawyers submit brief to NY Supreme Court to suspend Giuliani’s Law License

    amoLucia replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in U.S. Politics's Talk Politics

    This will likely be tied up for eons as Guiliani will know how to have the proceedings drag on & on. Rudy is one smart man and will be out to protect his own

  9. Is it appropriate to "show off" that you are a Nurse on social media?

    amoLucia replied to Convoy2022_TrumpSupporter's topic in General Nursing

    LovingLife - I politely differ with you re your idea 'of safe lock down' security. Dang! If the Russians and Chinese can hack into our best-est military and governmental sites, how secure do you truly...

  10. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    amoLucia replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    As I recall, I remember hearing old-time stories of medical residents & other HC students practicing suturings & intubations on cadavers in the autopsy lab. I doubt there was ever any consent...

  11. RN with LVN experience

    amoLucia replied to lizzy4u's topic in General Nursing

    Also, if there is a union, you may not have any 'wiggle room' as wages are usually guided by the contract. And welcome to

  12. Student Attempted IV 7 Times

    amoLucia replied to ChickenHealer's topic in General Nursing

    I kind of like this idea. Seriously, I'm not encouraging the prospect of using pts as 'guinea pigs. But I do understand the critical urgency at times when you just 'have to get an IV'. And you just...

  13. If Nurses are "Essential", Why Can't We Be Treated Like It?

    amoLucia replied to Catalin's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a firm believer in KARMA - what goes around will come around eventually. Just a matter of time to just wait ... wait for it ... wait for it

  14. Difficult AMA situations

    amoLucia replied to CaliRN2019's topic in General Nursing

    I like the idea of involving Pastoral Services. Pts always seemed to respect the ministers or sisters; at least they were mostly polite when speaking with them. Perhaps that would be an opp'ty...

  15. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    amoLucia replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    spotangel - TY for the info. There was a comment re 'banns' in the old Bing Crosby movie 'Going My Way' when the newly married heroine's husband chides his protesting father for not reading them...

  16. Stroke Exchange

    amoLucia replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Daisy - 3 points for your stroke exchange

  17. Drive Right On By

    amoLucia replied to Guest 1152923's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to give you a much needed hug. I've long retired and I guess I was lucky that my career was never quite that bad enough that I wanted to just 'keep on driving' all the time. Yeah,...

  19. Increase in hr/$pay for Bilingual

    amoLucia replied to HeyHeyRN's topic in General Nursing

    And just know, that when you'd get pulled off to translate, be aware that no one will likely be doing anything for your assignment while you're away. Your assignment sits in limbo just waiting for you...

  20. Quality improvement ideas

    amoLucia replied to Mmrn93's topic in Operating Room

    Or something for saving money??? I watched the rad onc therapists at my recent treatment facility placed a foot bar across my stretcher as a 'anti-slide' guard or prop EVERY TREATMENT. Then...

  21. Concealed Carry...as a nurse?

    amoLucia replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    hyppy - you just fortify my point. It's a split-second decision to determine the danger and then pull the weapon. And ACCURATELY discharge it. Not something I would ever be successful at, I think....

  22. Was this a wrong approach?

    amoLucia replied to Bubblesx530's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    "Therapeutic fibbing' is just a diversionary tactic. Just meant to buy some time and get the pt to refocus energies. All that phoney baloney stuff re 'reality orientation' just doesn't cut it for...

  23. Quality improvement ideas

    amoLucia replied to Mmrn93's topic in Operating Room

    question - what's blue

  24. Second Guessing Myself. Did I handle this situation correctly?

    amoLucia replied to mcknis's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Uh ... In the time it took me to read this sentence, I could've been shot dead. All the local police obviously WEREN'T minutes close
