1. Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

   %D#2 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in Relations

   I know I already replied but I feel that having a good personality is important... Even if they are just talking about how good you are as a person.. I think that should make one feel good. This job is so stressful, it's the residents and patients wh...

2. It's just a ******* straight cath!!!

   %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

   My guess is the UTI issues as well as infected wounds. I'm really on top of dressings.. I'm always working closely with wound care nurses and keeping them updated and if a wound is not healing properly I call them right away to get the resident on th...

3. One Liner to Diffuse Escalating Situation With Patient

   %D#2 replied to Lev's topic in Relations

   This may not be helpful at all but I would just keep being polite and empathetic no matter how dramatic the patient is. I can tell that you do have empathy and this patient was just really acting out. Whenever I have difficult patients I always refer...

4. Have any of your patients ever told you that you're a good nurse?

   %D#2 replied to EquinoxSolstice92's topic in Relations

   I agree that patients will say people are good nurses if they like them as a person.. But sometimes (in my experience) it has gone beyond that. I have had families and patients who were really difficult to please thank me for talking them through dec...

5. Cutting

   %D#2 replied to ruralSchoolRN's topic in School

   I'm not trying to split hairs here but your perception of this is rather skewed. Sending a nudie pic and cutting are so different. I have an adult friend who cut. She was in fact suicidal but was cutting to get by while formulating a plan which I lat...

8. Seriously ???

   %D#2 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

   Also just throwing this out there but FDA approves lots of Otc amounts of meds daily that are not good for people.. I was told taking 2g tylenol daily for my RA would be safe by the doctor and the FDA also approves it. But my LFTs said other wise.

9. BREAKS?????? You've gotta be kidding!

   %D#2 replied to Joe V's topic in Humor

   It is If you get to eat and actually recharge but if you're being interrupted for non urgent things then no. I don't think so

    Updates, patient is doing well. :) she had large Amt of e. Coli in urine and has UTI but no kidney infection or sepsis! Also- Regional director is fumed that they dc'd everything and I said, in all due respect I've heard a lot about AL being cited f...

11. It's just a ******* straight cath!!!

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I initially wanted to cath her but they d/c'd the UA and the cath, and by the time I came back for my scheduled day to work she was not in good shape. But she's on IV ABT now and doing better

    I understand why you're interpreting this that way but I care a lot about my residents. she did recieve tx the minute I got back after my time off. i checked her and sent her out to the ER. Can't blame me for being frustrated at this job. Nothing is ...

    I certainly don't think this is all about me.

15. It's just a ******* straight cath!!!

    %D#2 replied to %D#2's topic in General Nursing

    It was normal but I still didn't wanna take any chances.. She shouldn't have had to suffer like this but at least I know she'll get the care she needs now even if I do get reprimanded
