    Question to Catholic nurses

    Glycerine82 replied to KatieMI's topic in General Nursing

    I always thought they melted in your mouth, as others have indicated. I'm not catholic, but I did take communion once at a funeral..... I was 15 and the boy whose funeral it was was my first kiss....

    Arrested for hitting a nurse

    Glycerine82 replied to Julius Seizure's topic in Nursing News

    I'm glad the woman was arrested but how about that PHI in the article? How does that work, I wonder? Sounds like the nurse told the police about pt's + drug screen and prior prescription and the...

    Glycerine82 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, PN program. (Just graduated) We were asked not to bother the nurses, and mostly didn't. As they got to know us (we were there twice a week for 8 weeks at a time) they'd take our feedback...

    Glycerine82 replied to Nursenicole1's topic in General Nursing

    I just have to say that I would medicate a patient as often as possible if I didn't think they were getting adequate pain relief from other shifts and the non-verbal or regular pain scale and their...

    A Headache is not an emergency

    Glycerine82 replied to Patient4life's topic in Emergency

    I took my husband directly to the ER with a migraine. He was vomiting out the window the entire way there and kept a jacket over his head in the waiting room because the lights hurt so bad. We'd...

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in Correctional

    Hey all. I'm a new grad from a practical nursing program but the amount of information that I don't know far surpasses what I do. Sadly, my little sister (23) is currently detoxing at a local...

    Nursing student asks nurses the question..

    Glycerine82 replied to 2bNurseDR.T's topic in General Nursing

    They have a lot going on, and are often understaffed. They usually have their CNAs who come to them throughout the shift with questions or concerns that they have to stop what they're doing and...

    Glycerine82 replied to Meridian2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    NO! YOU need to accept responsibility for YOUR mistakes, OP! Yes, it's overwhelming and it's not fair , but those are the cards you were dealt. You don't get to make med errors and put patients in...

    Nurse with ADD :(

    Glycerine82 replied to WheresMyPen's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    That's because those of us with ADHD hyper-focus on things that interest us. One of the many reasons it can be hard to get diagnosed. Over time, you may notice that the meds level off, and your...

    Use of cellphones while at work

    Glycerine82 replied to givxnchy's topic in General Nursing

    This is pretty standard, since so many people would take advantage if allowed to have it on them. I've never had an employer allow me to carry my cell phone during my shift, not only could it be a...

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

    Glycerine82 replied to bethburlson's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So, just let the doctor know you're leaving when you go home, he or she is a "medical person". If he simply can't make it without you I'm sure you would be told. The patients are not in danger and...

    leaving clinic with Patients still in exam rooms?

    Glycerine82 replied to bethburlson's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're having a hard time adjusting from the hospital setting to the outpatient setting. Remember that patients perceptions aren't actually reality most of the time, so the pt. who said she was "all...

    Glycerine82 replied to Whispjes55's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If you think she took advantage in some way, and its not just "one of those things", if he has money or she somehow got him to do things he wouldn't otherwise do, then yes I say report her. BUT, if...

    Do lpns give vaccinations?

    Glycerine82 replied to naomifain's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    LPNs give immunizations, yes. You won't be able to find a job in healthcare without being vaccinated yourself, so keep that in mind. You can work as a CNA without having to worry about giving...
