    OMG Say it correctly!

    Sadala replied to seanynjboy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah... about that. I think you're being kind with that assumption. My annoyance with people who go to Walmarts is superseded only by my annoyance with people who go to THE Walmart. As in, "We...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    Sadala replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I live in the southeast. That may explain a lot. If you asked every primary care patient here that question it would go over like a pregnant

    Disappointed with my nurse last night

    Sadala replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A) I think nurses get a little report happy with other nurses. B) Whatever happened to good old fashioned directness. "This is a decision I made with MY physician and I'm here because I'm having side...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    Sadala replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'll bet I've seen more physicians/nurses and assorted medical professionals then a lot of people on this board and NEVER have I had anyone ask me my sexual orientation. EVER. I have had many people...

    Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

    Sadala replied to SuzieVN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Flame away. But... how was she supposed to know the guy was going to get admitted to the hospital a week after she had a fling with him? Maybe she should just have told you it was someone she'd...

    Heparin SubQ administration?

    Sadala replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient Medications

    Oh. And... All you can do when a clinical instructor tells you something is agree with them, thank them, and then double check it later. Maybe they're right. HOPEFULLY they are right. But you...

    Heparin SubQ administration?

    Sadala replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient Medications

    A) I've had only FABULOUS and very patient clinical instructors when they are separate from the school. The nursing instructors with the school (who sometimes double as clinical instructors - God...

    A nurses apologies

    Sadala replied to Daisy_08's topic in General Nursing

    Being sorry and saying it doesn't equate to you having done something wrong. It can, if you're apologizing for something you've done, but it can also just mean that you feel sadness or regret for...

    Hospital Romances

    Sadala replied to 2bnursejacksonrn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Umm... A lot of people meet their partner(s) at work (wherever that might be - medical and non-medical) because... that's where they spend most of their time. I don't think there's anything...

    So the boss says "When a call light goes off, consider that an error"

    Sadala replied to mindlor's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's funny actually. Because what I was thinking when I read the OP is that this kind of managerial dictate is just a set-up for bad things to happen. Because it's human nature. People ARE going...

    Precepting a floor nurse

    Sadala replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    I just wanted to thank all of you who take the time to precept (perhaps they don't give you a choice, really, ha!) But still, it means a lot to those of us coming up that there are people who REALLY...

    IV Magnesium Sulfate in office???

    Sadala replied to Anagray's topic in Patient Medications

    I agree with you. While I've had really, very excellent luck with hospital ERs in relation to my migraines, my fond hope and dream is always to manage them outisde of that setting. ER free for the...

    "Loosing" my license

    Sadala replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. They've said nothing to us about this in my state. I don't use govt loans but find it chilling nonetheless. Apparently Texas does this with physicians and attorneys as well. Nice to see that...

    what is the space on your neck called?

    Sadala replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    suprasternal notch, throat notch, hollow of the throat - depends what you're going for. Technically speaking though, suprasternal

    "Loosing" my license

    Sadala replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Is it normal (or usual) that nurses lose their license over default on their student loans? I'm not receiving student loans, but had no idea that this was even something the state boards looked at...

    Need some advice...please

    Apparently, if I understand this correctly, their unit secretary orders and picks up blood products?... And the secretary put in the wrong order. That's what I got from it

    Sadala replied to Hoosiernurse's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with this. If you badmouth your old employer during an interview the new employer may think you would badmouth them. If you are politic about your old employer, then the new employer will...

    Shocked by facial piercings at work

    Sadala replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Does anyone worry about going through the hiring process with piercings, or do people just take them out for interview then reinsert them after. Serious question. Visible Tattoos And Other Corporate...

    Sadala replied to seasalt1023's topic in Patient Medications

    In general, yes (for IM). But the flu program tells you not to with its injections. Not sure why but they are pretty specific about it not being necessary with their
