    Educating patients on ER use

    Glycerine82 replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I shouldn't be so, so rash though because I do LOVE my ER, they take me seriously and helped get my hubby on the road to recovery.... We had a PCP who didn't take my husbands stomach pain seriously...

    Educating patients on ER use

    Glycerine82 replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I would so fully support a system where non-emergencies could be turned away. I"m talking hangnail, cold sore, pregnancy test etc. It is absolutely insane that these people get seen and take up...

    Scared to begin work as a CNA

    Glycerine82 replied to AspiringNurse94's topic in Nursing Career

    They aren't going to throw you to the wolves, they will give you at least a few weeks of orientation if this is your first job as a CNA, so don't panic there. No facility should put you on the floor...

    False Positive On Home Drug Screen

    Glycerine82 replied to becky2161's topic in General Nursing

    I do think benedryl can cause a false positive, especially for an at home test, depending on the sensitivity of the test. I know in a lab they are much more specific and would surely have to do...

    Educating patients on ER use

    Glycerine82 replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I think what would stop all this craziness is some kind of protection for Doctors where they can't be sued for the simplest of things...... They tell Patients to go to the ER if it gets worse, because...

    Educating patients on ER use

    Glycerine82 replied to anh06005's topic in Patient Education

    I think a lot of people are misinformed in general about the care received..... Some people think that because they wen't for a sprained ankle, they have a clean bill of health, since the docs would...

    How much trouble am I ? Scale: 1 to super fired

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

    I would have asked her to watch her tone, also. Or, I would have said something like "I'm sorry, but am I upsetting you" etc. I'm a person, and as far as I know, anyone I talk to on the phone is a...

    Gift from the ED

    Glycerine82 replied to wheeliesurfer's topic in Nursing Humor

    This is where I got supper most nights when I worked LTC. We had to purchase trays ahead of time and I never remembered. Made me so mad because they could have fed us for free with all the food that...

    Inquiring Minds

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in General Students

    Ok Nursing Students, I'm curious. I know NS is hard, and in and of itself is a challenge, but I'm curious in your opinion what makes it hard? Is it the material? The amount of work? I'm just...

    Thank-you, especially GrnTea, for the answers! I am so very excited to start, it seems like I have wanted this forever, and having it be so close is surreal. I've always found that I need to...

    Here's my story

    Glycerine82 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I always see threads on here about how competitive NS is and how hard it is to get in. It really is, and honestly I don't like how my school does it at all. They don't take your GPA into...

    Um, I never said I wasn't able to complete it or that I flake out. I said I need to do better at organizing, because I sometimes forget about assignments etc, and it effects my grade. No where did I...

    Statistics Class

    Glycerine82 replied to KristiLamarque's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Whatever you do, don't take it online. That damn class can go to hell! No, really I think I'm just mentally challenged when it comes to seeing charts and things. I had a hard time with it though,...

    Lessons on why not to "Assume" things.

    Glycerine82 replied to TigerxLiLy's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have a thought I want to share. It was mentioned that the CNAs, among other staff had been saying the patient didn't look right. Just wondering if the nurses in that facility really listen to...

    patient's making false allegation

    Glycerine82 replied to teeroze201069's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to say that when I worked in LTC, every abuse allegation was met with a temporary suspension while it was investigated. Once it was determined the patient was mistaken (which was...

    Glycerine82 replied to Graduatenurse14's topic in Patient Medications

    This isn't directed at the OP, just in general. I'm learning..... I think giving a med 90 minutes after you said you gave it could be dangerous in many circumstances, and if It were me I'd document...

    Dealing with Anxiety

    Glycerine82 replied to LizzieRickard's topic in General Students

    I've always had anxiety, and only in the last 5 years have I been seeking help for it. It is all consuming and truly a horrible way to live. I've had to go on meds, first trying prozac, then zoloft,...
