    Detox in Jail?

    Glycerine82 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Correctional

    In my state, it's possible. She would go to a court ordered rehab for 30-90 days. My feeling is that if she can at least get clean long enough to consciously make the choice to refuse help at least...

    Detox in Jail?

    Glycerine82 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Correctional

    The involuntary commitment is allowed in my state, but only after two doctors deem her to be chemically dependent and a danger to herself. Although I know it usually doesn't work, I was hoping to get...

    Do you consider yourself a "pre-nursing student" or "nursing student?"

    Glycerine82 replied to NolaLj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, that always annoyed me as well. I didn't proclaim to be a nursing student until I was in the nursing program, taking nursing

    Can I still be a nurse?

    Glycerine82 replied to dragonhawk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just have to throw this out there for whomever it applies to. If you're sensitive to the vax, imagine how sensitive you would be to the viruses the vaccines are protecting you

    Can I still be a nurse?

    Glycerine82 replied to dragonhawk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's likely going to be mandatory anywhere you go. Not to mention that It will also likely be mandatory for any future job

    Glycerine82 replied to sonotguilty's topic in Nurses Recovery

    another option would be to have the conversation via email, so there is a paper trail. "Just making sure I am clear on our earlier conversation today, 5/14/16, that there is a discrepancy with...

    Detox in Jail?

    Thank you. I'm finding it difficult to put my nurse hat on. She's 48 hours in, so I'm hoping the worst is over, but who

    Infection control + gloves

    Glycerine82 replied to eiwneon's topic in General Nursing

    I only wear gloves as part of standard precautions. I don't wear them for anything else, I just wash my hands a lot. A lot of nurses wear them from the moment they enter the room until the moment...

    Needlestick

    Glycerine82 replied to Ontariosn's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so think about this for a minute. The needle was brand new and unused, so there isn't anything to contract, since the needle had never been in contact with anything in order to become...

    Manners....are they obsolete ?

    Glycerine82 replied to Keepstanding's topic in School

    Well, if the parents aren't teaching them I feel like someone has to, so, yep, - I'd make them say "please/thank you/you're welcome" as needed. If parents get mad that their kids are being taught...

    Is this request unreasonable? Diabetic question.

    Disrespectful patient

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

    It worries me that you jumped to the conclusion that he didn't really try to kill himself, or that he wasn't suicidal. Maybe he took something he thought was a benzo but wasn't. I feel like it...

    Yeah, I'm not seeing the rationale here. My hubby has a bmi of 29 and weighs 230lbs. He's 6'7.... I can see having a weight range or what not, but BMI doesn't seem like a very accurate way to...

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been a member for several years now, and always kind of felt like an impostor because I'm not a nurse. I've learned so much from you all, I can't even begin to explain. I read a lot of posts...

    We should just start signing our names with our dx. Glycerine, GAD, ADHD, NVLD, PMS, BSC! ;-) I hate the taboo as well. We treat all sorts of issues that we can't "see". I don't see the...

    Glycerine82 replied to MsPebbles's topic in General Nursing

    Seems like you're picking on the OP and I don't know why. OP was sharing a rare moment of a doc sticking up for nursing staff, it is safe to assume the situation warranted it. We all know the type...
