    You assume there is security to call in every situation. A small independent hospice inpatient unit doesn't have that, so we have to deal with it ourselves. They did leave a bit after the nurse...

    I caused skin tear

    duskyjewel replied to Purple_roses's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Unfortunately, with some people there is no preventing it. I've seen people cause their own skin tear just turning over in bed. Don't feel bad. It wasn't your

    That would probably be because of people who remember slashed tires, threats of violence, and actual violence done to those who opposed unions and their

    Disabled seems to have some new meaning!

    duskyjewel replied to suanna's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Until the taxpayers in your state demand reform, it won't change. And when they do demand reform, they'll be chastised for hating the disabled.

    Did I take the bait (for profit school)?

    As a taxpayer and veteran's wife, can I ask that you please don't waste our money just because you feel out of

    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    duskyjewel replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Except that at least two people have reported here on AN that exactly that DID happen to them! Why risk $200 on a trick when you can know for sure in 48 hours for only $8?! I don't understand you...

    Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    duskyjewel replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is a substantial percentage of our society that thinks there should be absolutely no restrictions of any kind, ever, on sexual activity. Apparently at least a couple of them are commenting...
