  1. How do people feel about male nurses?

    Dogen replied to Natgurad's topic in Men in Nursing

    Oh man. I'm a 30-something white guy. All I need is some affirmative action at my job and I'll be the most privileged human this side of Justin Bieber. Due to years of oppression... you know, as a...

  2. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Dogen replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Is this a euphemism? I don't think I've ever heard it

  3. 1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like the beginning of a post in a thread called "What I Unlearned This

  4. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Dogen replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Sure you can. A little clonazepam and risperidone and you'll be right as

  5. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Dogen replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    OP wrote: "Your best friend ... complains of a headache." It doesn't seem rational to assume other, specific information was offered to the OP without more to go on. If this is all we have to work...

  6. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Dogen replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Unless I have PKU and then you just killed me.I'll start working on an MS Word incident report for you. Sounds like you might need it.

  7. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Dogen replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, what if your friend has heart failure and you didn't assess her? NO FOOD FOR ANYONE. NO WATER. Just stand there and don't touch anything. When nurses party together no one brings food, drinks, or...

  8. Administering Tylenol to a friend

    Dogen replied to Em31200's topic in General Nursing

    Your friend is at your house and asks if she can eat some of your Triscuits. Do you: A. Give her triscuits, despite not having a diet order from an MD and lose your license. B. Give her triscuits,...

  9. 1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Pimping.

  10. This stuff only happens to me!! Subpoea to testify for state in a criminal case on 1st day

    Dogen replied to Oedgar's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed. In my state they'd rather work with you than fight with you. Your mileage may vary, but give it a

  11. Another new grad looking for your expertise.

    Dogen replied to Dogen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yeah, I'm actively looking for one. Also someone who does medical contract law, to review any contracts for hidden pitfalls. My sister, a doctor, has someone, but she lives here and the position being...

  12. Another new grad looking for your expertise.

    Dogen replied to Dogen's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Thank you both for your responses. I'll have to do some more research on 1099 and see what's best for me. I kind of hate the idea of figuring out massive tax deductions every year, but I can learn to...

  13. 1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I can't say I know what I would do, but this seems compassionate and even reasonable. Quality of life is always important, but it seems like it would be especially so now, when you're forming those...

  14. 1/16 What I learned this week: Siamese Twins be Pimpin'

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned a bazillion things about psychotic depression. I'm sure you all want to know all of the things I've learned (you're all secret psych nurses, I know it), but I'll boil it down to this:...

  15. Scanning in the supply room

    Dogen replied to elizabeast7's topic in General Nursing

    I've never been asked to track supplies other than meds. Supplies are charged as part of the room (part of why a day in the ICU is more expensive than a day in a med surg bed) and the supply room has...

  16. Nightshift is Making Me an Idiot

    Dogen replied to OldNurseNewRN's topic in General Nursing

    This may or may not apply to you, but it's a common problem with people new to nights, so here are some thoughts that piggyback on what Davey Do said. Sleep is incredibly important to cognitive...

  17. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Note to self: do not gain

  18. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    Dogen posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever heard about in-home IV infusion to get rid of hangovers? This is an idea I started thinking about when I read about it being offered in New York, and because in personal experience it...

  19. Credentials

    Dogen replied to phiir's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Do they have those!? I'm sure I qualify for at least a master's in being a smartass. Of course, if they offered degrees in attitude AN would be replete with them.

  20. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful doing things up the wazoo at work, that's really more of an "alone time"

  21. 1/9: What I learned this week - Worst. Vagina. EVER.

    Dogen replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    - I had a top 5 worst shift last weekend, one of the ones where your goal is just to make sure everyone gets through it alive, literally. Came back the next day and had the best shift. Everyone was...

  22. Credentials

    Dogen replied to phiir's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I don't know... if I asked a question and got a bunch of responses that didn't answer it I'd try to redirect the conversation. That seems not only reasonable, but an obvious thing for someone looking...

  23. Mobile IV infusions... for hangovers

    Dogen replied to Dogen's topic in General Nursing

    Well, sure. Prevention is always preferable, but that's not going to help someone who already has a hangover. We sell nicotine patches because people start smoking even though it's not a good idea,...

  24. Do you stalk anyone here?

    Dogen replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I never noticed that option in the dashboard, so I went and checked it out. Interesting! But it's in alphabetical order. I was hoping it would be chronological so I could tell that Jensmom views my...

  25. Why are nurses so backbiting?

    Dogen replied to RNBSN1591's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What field is he in? I've never worked in a field where you can act like that. If I'd interrupted a lab meeting that way they would have thought I'd gone soft in the head. Yeah! We should be...
