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 his problem. You can't change his perspective of li...

Awwwww. ((((BIG HUGS)))) Poor sweetie! You know what? There just isn't anything you can do for him. It's such a horrible thing to sit back and watch but the reality is that you just can't do anything about this. This one belongs to him and only ...

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 the other feels. BTW... I decided to start a new ...

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 think of that was more humiliating than Michelle, his ...

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 up a blood sample? At what point is it assault?

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 there. His wife, my sister's evil stepmother really...

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, D and J. D and J (I'm serious here folks) share ...

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 smart so they found a male medical provider.

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 for prostitution, selling drugs to children, those...

What makes you feel this way? Do you guys work w/Pyxis?

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 should be quite easy to obtain any documents they ha...

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 time clock? :wink2:

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 side, I would do a reteach and instead of grabbing a...

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 writing about. A hint to which person? Maybe I'm ...

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 why I prefer them, I just do. If no guys are availa...

My Dad was dx'd w/Colon CA 12/03. He went through 6 months of 5FU and did quite well. A full year after his original dx he perf'ed his viscus, had emergency surgery and it was found that CA is everywhere. On his stomach, two tumors in his liver, t...

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 something one way, I'll see it a different way. Thank y...

Oh L... thank you! Your one word little post.. thank you!!! I'm tellling you, I can't wait to meet you in real time. I just want to give you a big 'ol bear hug and thank you again! Okay, so I'm weird. But I am a weird person that can't wait to mee...

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 have a female gyn patient and she wants a female nu...

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? Okay, that aside. I love the guys I post with. With a...

Leslie... Your post made me go into another crying fit, one I didn't know if I could stop. But I did. And you are right. And what you wrote is what I need to hear. After I blew it on the phone with him and had to hang up and call him back, I asked...

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 million years! But I have to admit, I think it is a...

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 told that with chemo he has 4 months at best. I ha...

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 to fix the problem. With some dxs there is nothin...

I have to admit, my problem/issue/whatever you want to call it is that my tax dollars go toward this and my honest and sincere efforts with their healthcare and yet I'm one of the 'beasts' they refer to when they talk about bleeding the beast. My onl...
