  1. Medical question on ingrown toenail

    JessicaInOr replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    As horrible as this sounds you still shouldn't have LOANED him the money or taken care of him. As long as he has you to take care of him especially in a pinch, he has no reason to do anything about...

    JessicaInOr replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

    I realized that the advice I have given others was very appropriate in my own case, it was the only thing to do for him at that point in time. I am *so* sorry to hear this. I guess we both know how...

  4. How to help pt's and family members cope

    JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

    Leslie... The issue that really hit me was his gift to me. This is hard to explain but when I first went to do personal care he was absolutely horrified. He even said there was nothing he could...

  5. Colleague bitten by pt--what should be done for the bitee?

    JessicaInOr replied to chris_at_lucas_RN's topic in General Nursing

    How can you force anyone to cooperate? How could you force them anymore than you can force treatment when the patient refuses? Force how? Via the courts? Or sitting on the patient until they give...

  6. How to help pt's and family members cope

    JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

    My Dad died 16 days after I wrote the post you replied to. So much for four months. The only peace I have from the entire ordeal was that when I flew home my Dad had a look of relief when I got...

  7. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr posted a topic in General Nursing

    Okay, first I want to make it clear that this is not a thread about religion. Please, let's not discuss our personal views of religion, that isn't my topic. Here is my problem. I have two patients,...

  8. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    A gal I work with now used to work on behalf of these ladies and children too but too many of the men wouldn't allow their wives to go there for medical care. She's a woman and they wanted someone...

  9. I did something stupid... no, embarrassing and stupid

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in General Nursing

    But we aren't living in a society of 'everything goes' ... not by a long shot. We have laws in place specifically so that everything does not go. We have policemen arresting people every single day...

  11. If your license is disciplined

    JessicaInOr replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    So the BON had a complaint from someone about you, they acted on that complaint and they didn't notify you? They just signed your name to those forms? Do you know what the complaint was about? It...

  12. Eh. Ever been reported to the DON?

    JessicaInOr replied to Cute_CNA's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure but I believe I read someone else here that used the term. It was an LPN that was accused of charging for time when he wasn't working. Edit to add: Maybe it's a flower-y, PC type way to say...

  13. teaching Humira administration

    JessicaInOr replied to darla80's topic in General Nursing

    Since Humira is typically given q o week and she isn't going to be in a cast forever couldn't she just go to her PCP for the injection? If she still has the ability to use the fingers on her broken...

  14. Eh. Ever been reported to the DON?

    JessicaInOr replied to Cute_CNA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure I understand your thread. Are you saying someone reported you? Are you saying they have reported you previously? As for the 'hint hint' ... I don't have the slightest idea what you are...

  15. How often do female pts request male nurses?

    JessicaInOr posted a topic in Men in Nursing

    I was just reading the thread, "OB Clinicals" and it got me to thinking about something. I am a nurse, I am female, and the two times I've been inpatient I have requested male nurses. I don't know...

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Men in Nursing

    While I understand what you write, if I dare to agree I'll be made out to be mentally ill yet again. But I will say that sometimes people perceive things differently. While one person perceives...

  19. men in home health nursing?

    JessicaInOr replied to BSNGUY's topic in Men in Nursing

    Jack... Females don't think about that. It's a given for many females... a female does the job. Period, the end. Check out my thread about females wanting male nurses if you don't believe me! If I...

  20. Is it okay to slug an oncologist?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Oncology

    You know... the forum I post on the most is a police forum. They relate to us nurses farrrrr more than we realize. Do you know policemen don't give nurses tickets if they know they are nurses?...

  22. How often do female pts request male nurses?

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Men in Nursing

    See, this is what I don't get. The automatic assumption is that the female patient is flirtatious or inappropriate in some way. As a female patient I would never dream of such behavior! Not in a...

    JessicaInOr replied to JessicaInOr's topic in Oncology

    My Dad was finally told the truth this morning. He's back in the hospital, yellow as a banana, dehydrated, and very ill. I knew he had liver involvement so I knew the eventual outcome. Today he was...

    JessicaInOr replied to anne07's topic in Oncology

    I fully understand what you are saying but honestly, from my POV I don't think there is anything you can do or say. Sometimes I have found that the only thing I would be able to do to help someone is...
