  1. Confesson--from a stalker

    margin261 replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    No worries! Your minions will deliver!!

  2. The sloppy image of nurses today

    margin261 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    But how could that be possible? A coworker of yours not thoroughly proficient at candy crush? Where are your leadership

  3. Your monitoring program allow whipits?

    margin261 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Really? I wonder

  4. Confesson--from a stalker

    margin261 replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    I'll even get some oil for Old Dude's hair since, apparently, that's the new beauty standard in

    margin261 replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    You know we'll carry whatever y'all

  6. Confesson--from a stalker

    margin261 replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    I believe we are in large enough numbers to be an entourage!! We can walk a few steps behind them, gazing adoringly and holding their supply of cough drops, tampons & lice

  7. The sloppy image of nurses today

    margin261 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I hate to tell you this, but if you are using mind altering substances then you are not in recovery, you are in active addiction. Doesn't matter if the high lasts 30 sec or 3 hours. Don't believe me?...

  8. Confesson--from a stalker

    margin261 replied to CJforme01's topic in School

    Glad you said it first!! Another non school nurse saying "welcome". The school nurses that post are awesome & I love to read their stories! I expect you to keep up the tradition

  9. The sloppy image of nurses today

    margin261 replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You're the same one that talked about doing 'whip its' while being monitored, right? Yeah. I wouldn't put so much stock in how professional people

  10. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Because historically, on this site, the level of judgement & 'holier than thou' attitude you displayed- and on your 1st post, no less- usually comes from non-nurses &/or nursing students. AKA...

  11. butalbital and urinalysis

    margin261 replied to FloridaRN123's topic in General Nursing

    Butalbital does show up as a barbiturate on UDS, but if you took only one, it will probably be out of your system in 3-5 days. I agree with getting an otc drug test at walgreens (or wherever) just...

  12. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    member is a good word!! Far- remind me: is it work member vs Recreational member? Were those the

  13. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    To add to what Ixchel said- which I completely agree with. As a woman, let me share with you guys a little something-- we know the vast majority of men aren't built like Media stars, (and thank...

  14. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Funny, the urologist I worked for always gave this as the major reason for eating healthy &

  15. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for a urology clinic for a while- actually, it was one of my favorite jobs! But I asked the urologist one day because I had the same question y'all

  16. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    margin261 replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Ixchel- if you are referring to a member appearing shorter on the men with large bellies, I was told that there are ligaments at the base and as they don't increase in length, as a man's belly grows...

  17. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    margin261 replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    People that slack on doing assessments- or anything else- on whatever shift they're on. So, 'how do you make the most of your assignment'? You do your job to the best of your ability. And you do it...

  18. lost license, now what

    margin261 replied to rnnolonger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I agree with enuf already, that does sound a little shady on the therapists part! If you're still interested in nursing at all- you may want to contact your BON and tell them your situation to see...

  19. lost license, now what

    margin261 replied to rnnolonger's topic in Nurses Recovery

    First, having the mods move your question to the 'nurses in recovery' forum will get you more informed responses. Next, I would think a little more information is needed. How long ago did you...

  20. Dysphagia/end stage dementia

    margin261 replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    By all means, advocate for the pt!! That all just sounds ridiculous! If the family is on board for providing food/fluids ONLY when pt wants it then that should go a long way to stopping that other...

  21. Dysphagia/end stage dementia

    margin261 replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh, and yes, your concerns are completely legitimate. For someone with late/end stage dementia the appetite naturally declines. Trying to force feed pts is a pet peeve of

  22. Dysphagia/end stage dementia

    margin261 replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh my. I would have more problems with the smearing around the mouth than a baby spoon as far as the dignity concerns go!! And yes, reimbursement will always win. And explains why ST comes. I don't...

  23. Dysphagia/end stage dementia

    margin261 replied to ktwlpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If these are true 'comfort care' patients, why are speech therapists being consulted? As a hospice nurse, educating the family on natural decline of appetite & thirst was a big hurdle. If the...

  24. Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    margin261 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it does matter. However, sometimes administering your medication or blood (the reason you're in the hospital?) trumps comfort. If you can't tolerate a little discomfort in order to facilitate...

  25. Welcome To The Hospital - From Your Nurse

    margin261 replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    Candice- a little perspective for the next time you're in the hospital, or staying with someone in the hospital. First- know that your nurse should never be rude to you. She/he may look rushed,...
