  5. Tell me what you think of this scenario please

    Mystery5 replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

  9. How do you all like the pain scale???

    Mystery5 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I confess, I hate the pain scale. It's alright for some folks who like to quantify everything, but with many people I find that it is an annoying way to communicate. I hate this mandated, cookie...

  10. How do you all like the pain scale???

    Mystery5 replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    Dear WebbieDebbie, What I do for documentation is just pick a number that I think might accurately reflect what the pt is telling me. To me, demanding the pt to give a number is unkind. If someone...

  11. Anti-Dentites and Anti-Doctor-ites Unite!

    Mystery5 replied to Sgt_Chunk_Spelunker's topic in General Nursing

    Need to go to the dentist, terrible procrastinator about it. I stay away from doctors, but try to keep up on Paps. I personally don't buy into the whole medical model for my own health. I eat healthy,...

    Mystery5 replied to Mystery5's topic in General Nursing

    I just sent an email to my manager. Everyone knows about that dumb door, though, it's no secret! I even heard Judy, an older and very respectable nurse, use a profanity the other day regarding the...

  15. Clients?

    Mystery5 replied to NeuroNP's topic in General Nursing

    It's sort of a politically correct thing to do in response to the attitudes of the past when pts were expected to listen to Dr's orders, and docs would often not tell pts the truth about their...

    Mystery5 replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with some points here. You can learn from this situation. I have always stayed out of trouble with management, even though I'm not a brownnoser by any means. But, I refuse to be...
