    Abnormal PAP: I'm scared!

    Super_RN replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    For the colposcopy the only thing they do is get a "magnifying glass", coat the cervix with some dye, and it will show any abnormal cells more clearly. That part is not uncomfortable. I had...

    Abnormal PAP: I'm scared!

    Super_RN replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Nursing

    well, you could work, but I wouldn't. I thought I would be able to work my 12 hour shift, but afterwards...no. I did not end up working. Personally, I thought it was painful. Others may not think...

    Super_RN replied to hbncns35's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the night shift brings it out in docs...I guess I am thinking of a couple...I actually wrote up concerns about a doc once because of the F bomb flying, among every other word flying. I don't...

    What is a Policy that you would like to see put into effect

    Super_RN replied to yankeesrule's topic in General Nursing

    This would never happen, but it is a fantasy of mine... Obnoxious families could be told exactly what to do and where to go. Realistically? I would love to see our administration back up nurses in...

    Catheter dummy in school

    Super_RN replied to ToryAdore's topic in Emergency

    You'll find that no matter what you have to practice, nothing compares to the "real thing". Wait until you have an "innie" that has to be...um...located before you can insert the catheter. Those are...

    Super_RN replied to FunDude16830's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Let's see...I don't think I've ever found an elderly person who didn't like BINGO! How about having community volunteers come in? For example, our town has a group called the "Silverliners" who are...

    New Admissions

    Super_RN replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I think it happens everywhere. I float to ED and a lot of times it is because the doc is slower than molasses about writing orders. The ED knows the patient will be admitted, the ICU (me!)...

    VIP Patients...A rant

    Super_RN replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    My opinion is if you want to suck up to VIPs then that is your choice, but all my patients are VIPs. And that statement is not to anyone in particular, I just mean people in general. I am not going...

    state survey question

    Super_RN replied to tlrochelpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my opinion your work load is unsafe. 75 residents to care for by yourself?! It sounds absolutely ridiculous! Is it hard to keep staff there or is this normal for staffing? It is unfair and...

    A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    Super_RN replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think she was examining his genitals. I believe it was the incision and his genitals were exposed in the process. I haven't read through the rest of these postings yet so I'm not sure what...
