  1. 7.5 months on floor...called Nurse LastName for first time

    I suspect that the field of nursing has encouraged pts. to call nurses by their first names because it's less formal/more casual. I think calling nurses by their first name is to make the patient feel...

  9. When the Board of Nursing is out to get you....

    I'm not sure what to tell you, except I'm sorry that this is happening to you. Don't flame me for this, but I've heard and experienced that kind of treatment from "higher-ups" in nursing. That is,...
  10. Residents-how do they stay awake for 24-36 hrs straight?

    I don't think it is ethical, safe, or fair for residents to have to stay up that long. How on earth could they do their job? Why does that happen? Is that legal? I'm surprised there haven't been more...

  12. Woman that received now face speaks!

    I'm not sure what she looked like before, but I am happy that something good came out of a bad situation. I hear the donor was a victim of suicide. At least a part of that young woman was able to live...
  13. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    The problem was, there was a response with an assumption attached. It's not wise to make assumptions w/o enough information to go on. THAT was the problem. What's up with
  14. Friend needs to see MD, do you tell them?

    I'd probably say something like, "I don't want to scare you, but that looks like it could be serious. Just in case, I think it might be a good idea to get it checked by a doctor. You know, just to...
  15. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    I think you looked a little too deeply into my post. My point was, it's especially galling with these people because they expect primo treatment when they're not paying for it. It's bad enough when a...
  16. Patients always needing something no matter what.

    Good technique. I work in a state-run hospital facility, and despite how the patients aren't paying a penny for being there, they expect what they want, when they want it. It's very annoying and...
  17. I think I'm in big trouble

    I also think you did the right thing. It's better to risk your job at a facility than to risk your license. You should report them to your state

  19. I am a cursed idiot

    I don't take this post as an insult. I was just being straightforward with you, epiphany, and I'm not sure how I could have used words that better described what I thought was going on. But it's not...
  20. I am a cursed idiot

    Are you failing to meet the expectations of the hospital, or failing your own expectations? I'm not a nurse, but to me, it sounds like you're being very hard on yourself. I wonder if you have...
  21. Evil People

    I think from the get-go patients and their families need to be informed of what is appropriate behavior towards staff. If a family member becomes abusive, they should be removed by security. I also...
  22. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    I've never heard of anyone seeing just the skeleton; I've always heard that you see them as they were in real life, or in a healthier state. It's also rare to hear about "ghost"
