    Never wear black scrubs.

    duskyjewel replied to Psychosocialist's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Um.....what? Why do you care what color scrubs I wear, regardless of my patient population? I don't wear black because I have a white

    CNA allowed skills

    duskyjewel replied to johndough's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I live in Arizona and when I worked in the hospital, the CNAs did the blood sugar checks. Where I work now, it's a nurse task. So it seems that legally, we can, but company policies

    Thomas Eric Duncan and Hipaa

    duskyjewel replied to smartnurse1982's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    They aren't going to get the chance. He's critical and on a vent. I think Ebola will kill him long before a mob has any

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

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

    You clearly haven't had to support a family. You do what you have to. The reason I became a CNA is because my husband wanted to get out of the National Guard after his deployment to Afghanistan, and...

    Will the Texas ED RN become a scapegoat in the Ebola patient discharge?

    duskyjewel replied to preddish's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If anyone in my family gets Ebola, I can tell you what organization will appear at the top of my lawsuit

    Doctor or Dockworker?

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

    Me too. Honey, I was raised by a sailor who became a cop, and he was raised by a sailor who left the Navy to go play with artillery in the Army. I was doomed to foul-mouthedness from conception. I'm...

    The Liberian government has stated that if he returns, they will prosecute him for lying on his health screening form. So it seems they think it's credible that he may have been exposed and lied...

    Nurse manager who yells at people

    Voluntary Euthanasia

    duskyjewel replied to GARY_FL_NURSE's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok I know this makes me a grammar Nazi, but this is driving me crazy. Breath is a noun. "She took a breath." Breathe is the verb. "He continues to

    Favorite ways to decompress

    duskyjewel posted a topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm a CNA, not a nurse yet, but we all have the same challenge with self-care and stress relief, I think. What are your best, most-used stress relievers? Here are mine: Relaxing in my nice, deep oval...

    question about personal boundaries

    duskyjewel replied to sghanem1's topic in Home Health

    If nothing else, watch yourself around that other nurse in the future. She's clearly willing to try and destroy people over piddling, stupid little things. Maybe she thinks she'll get more hours if...

    Ebola here in Dallas USA

    duskyjewel replied to HappyWife77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My 7 year old is home from school today with a seemingly minor viral illness. Let me tell you, I'm thinking differently about it than I ever have before. I actually had thoughts about losing one of...

    Hourly rounding. Are you kidding me?

    duskyjewel replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That video is worthy of criminal charges. Also, don't the people who participated realize that it now exists on the internet forever? With their name badges visible?
