  1. Pain Seekers

    Anonymous865 replied to missswiss44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's kind of nice to know this happens to medical people too. I was scheduled for surgery. I met with the MDA (definitely MDA not CRNA) prior to surgery. I asked if Versed was necessary to sedate me...

  2. Anti-vax nurses? Are you serious?

    Anonymous865 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Concern for her patients is definitely appropriate. Another concern that no one seems to have noted yet is the image she is presenting of nurses. There are many fields outside of healthcare in which...

  3. shadowing a nurse manager.. is this appropriate?

    Anonymous865 replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    LOL. You have to wait until they have a sale with an additional 50% off the sale or clearance price. I've bought tanks for $50 and jackets for $100. Still not cheap, but they last forever, and you...

  4. academic EHR

    Anonymous865 replied to CarrieSheppard's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking as a computer geek not a nurse, here's how I would go about troubleshooting this problem: 1. Call the school's IT helpdesk. If they have computers in the school, they have someone...

    If your blouse is longer than your jacket, take your blouse to a tailor and get them to hem it. Check Talbots.com for shells and blouses. They carry xs to 3x, so finding your size shouldn't be an...

  7. Pt. Falls

    Anonymous865 replied to Nursingluv101's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm not a nurse, so I can't speak to your situation as another nurse. If I had been the patient who fell or a family member of the patient who fell, this is how I would view the incident. - The...

  8. Stories of the pre-vaccine days

    Anonymous865 replied to dinah77's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not a nurse, but I hope you'll let me share some of my stories. Fortunately no one in my family developed polio, but my parents talk about how frightened everyone was of polio. They weren't...

  9. Have my rights been violated?

    Anonymous865 replied to FredericksonL's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    If the nurse works for a provider who has privileges at a hospital in which the OP has been a patient, it's possible that that nurse has access to the OP's hospital records. The hospitals here...

  10. yelled at by doctor at another patient bedside

    Anonymous865 replied to RadioJenn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm not a nurse. I just think you should hear what a patient might think about that interaction. Here's how I would have reacted: 1. That Dr just lost any respect I had for him. 2. You just earned...

  11. Christmas Stocking Newborns

    Anonymous865 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nurses Rock

    Yes the nurses who organized the project deserve kudos, but the volunteers who spent their money on yarn and donated many, many hours making the caps and stockings deserve kudos also. If any nurse...

  12. Frustrated is an understatement...

    Anonymous865 replied to NuggetRN23's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not very clear from the post, but I think the Op is saying that the issues she is having started when she took a job in the south. If that is the case, she probably doesn't understand the...

    Anonymous865 replied to siobanyan's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Go to annualcreditreport.com and check your credit report. Make sure there are no credit applications that you don't know about. In your medical record, this ex has access to all the information...

    Anonymous865 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in Emergency

    I can certainly understand why you wouldn't want your picture posted on facebook. You should understand that in some cultures/communities it is common and acceptable to take a photo of your dead...

    Thank you. I would be very interested in seeing the literature your hospital used in developing this policy. I do NOT think you are trying to be contrary. I'm sure you are a conscientious...

  17. How to prevent falls

    Anonymous865 replied to Karolyte's topic in Orthopedic

    I'm not against ALL use of bed alarms. I'm saying that bed alarms should not be applied to every patient. Just like everything in the care plan the patient's goals and values should be taken into...

    Anonymous865 replied to Karolyte's topic in Orthopedic

    The regulatory bodies do not require the use of a bed alarm. All they require is that you have a fall prevention plan for the patient and that the plan was followed. The plan could be instucting the...

  20. How to prevent falls

    Anonymous865 replied to Karolyte's topic in Orthopedic

    Thanks for that information. I will file that away for future use! I did try the patient advocate, but they only work 8 :30 am - 5 pm and it was outside those hours (6 pm). They decided by 9 am that...

    Anonymous865 replied to Karolyte's topic in Orthopedic

    Good luck refusing the bed alarm. I had a hysterectomy last year, and they put a bed alarm on me. I was AOx3. I told them I wanted the alarm removed. They refused to disable it. I told them that...

    Anonymous865 replied to Christy1019's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'd like to give you the other side of the story. I know 7 people who have had bariatric surgery and not 1 person regrets doing it. One friend, a nurse, had the lapband. She was probably the least...
