  1. hiccups

    Doey replied to amyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    What I found that works and doesn't require any special equipment but your hands and can be done anywhere, is to apply pressure to both eyes at the same time. I usually do this for about 20 maybe 30...

  2. Pot Smoking and Nursing

    Doey replied to MrsNurseCA's topic in General Nursing

    Wildhoney, check your BON. In my state a RN is required to report anyone who may be, by their behavior etc. practicing under the influence of alcohol or drugs. My facility also has a "fit for duty"...

    Doey replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

    "we drag them down the hall yelling....let this be a lesson to you... " thisnurse, I just read your post in another thread (your incontinent pts), and was cracking up then read this and really lost...

  4. Noting orders

    Doey replied to swacht's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work the secretaries take off the orders, putting labs etc into the computer, calling MD's offices for referrals/consults and any notifying any other departments as needed. They write in the...

  5. Patients on suicide precautions-what is your facility's policy?

    Doey replied to deespoohbear's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I agree with the others. ICU is too expensive and a waste of a bed if medically stable. Where I work any time a pt. is on suicide precautions and is admitted or transferred to a regular floor there...

  6. Is this a violation of the new whistleblower law?

    Doey replied to fiestynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Fiesty, Can't add to the terrific things that have already been said here, (very nicely stated Ted), but count me as one who will be buying that issue of Self! We're behind you

  7. How to get rid of the hiccups?

    Doey replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I read this somewhere awhile ago and when I tell people they think I'm crazy. But then they try it and it works. Using your fingers place pressure on your eyes, both at the same time. Do this for a...

  8. Nurses.... Our Own Worst Enemies??

    Doey replied to MaineNurse67's topic in General Nursing

    The nurses on this BB do offer support on a professional level as well as a personal one. If anyone writes in with a clinical question re: meds, patient care, physiology, new procedures etc, someone...

  9. nursing poem

    Doey replied to legky's topic in General Students

    I think this might be the poem you're looking for: WHEN GOD MADE NURSES When the Lord made Nurses... He was in his sixth day of overtime when an angel appeared and said " You're doing alot of...

  10. Any takers? Supressed sexual frustrations of husbands of Nurses...

    Doey replied to Chellyse's topic in General Nursing

    Quoted from the morificecript: "Male genitalia are soaped up with wet sudsy cleaning solution and manipulated under bright lights, maybe by his pretty young wife, with male coworkers watching,...

  11. Power Trip!

    Doey replied to lesliee's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lesliee, I agree with the other posters. She needs to be told that how she's behaving is having a detrimental effect on the unit and won't be tolerated. It's easy to get hot under the collar when...

  12. Stethescopes

    Doey replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I have a Littman also which I absolutely love. Most of the time it's around my neck, I too feel naked without it!! Plus I don't want it "walking away". I had it for about 10yrs. when I sent it out to...

  13. unit trespassing

    Doey replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't work OB but at the hospital where I work the two entrances to the unit are always locked. The supervisors and the nurse manager have the key. Everyone else has to be "buzzed" in. Babies wear a...

  17. Demerol, YUCK!

    Doey replied to kewlnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Kewlnurse, thank-you thank-you thank-you! This has been a pet peeve for me for some time now. I don't know what it is with surgeons and demerol. Do they think it's some kind of miracle drug? There is...

  19. troponin

    Doey replied to bruny's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    CKMB is still used along with Troponin I. They both rise about 5-7hrs after MI but the troponin remains elevated much longer, 8 days or so. Troponin is cardiac specific. There have been studies done...

  20. What am I doing? Am I insane?

    Doey replied to zdjoe's topic in General Nursing

    This thread seems to have alot in common with another one, "Nursing is Pathetic" (SUBQ, have you read that one? It's long but I think you'll find it interesting) Anyway I don't know why there are so...

  22. Distance Learning?

    Doey replied to ncangel's topic in General Nursing

    I work with two nursing supervisors who both went through the Regent's program. One went in as an ADN and the other went in as an LPN. They both liked it very much as it fit in with their schedules at...

  23. To delegate or not to delegate?

    Doey replied to beaverlakefarm's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely not. First off this goes against my facility's policy. Second, even if I knew this patient and knew what kind of pain they were probably having, I would go to them to assess them in case...

  24. Is it just me or all nurses??

    Doey replied to laurasc's topic in General Nursing

    I think that all the things mentioned in the above posts are valid for why we as nurses miss illnesses/injuries in ourselves. Yes we are nurses and do well with assessing others. But first and...

  25. ACLS CERTIFICATION in OB

    Doey replied to Caseyrnbsn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the hospital I work in L/D nurses are not required to be ACLS certified at this time. We just went through a joint commision survey and as far as I know nothing has been said about it. If something...
