  1. Someone's got to love their job.. help

    kungpoopanda replied to nichefinder's topic in General Nursing

    I'd recommend phone triage, telehealth or nursing infomatics. A bit of distance betwwen nurse and patient is a good thing in my book. Oh and before anyone flames me, I have good reasons for feeling...

  2. Very Unprofessional....

    kungpoopanda replied to Whoatemyburger's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She did not refer to the patient as "nastiness", your OP states she referred to "nasty stuff" on the patient's face. Very different. I think you are using this situation to puff yourself up - the...

  3. So much for the dream job

    kungpoopanda replied to Been there,done that's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not too much at all. Sounds like this supervisor needs to be put very firmly in their place. From what I've read of your posts BTDT, being pushed around is not your style. Good

  4. Nurse giving discontinue medications to other patients

    kungpoopanda replied to Nurse Amy Jolie's topic in Patient Medications

    Of course, she could have left a vulnerable patient become stressed and agitated through sleeplessness. Would this have been the correct course of action? To be quite honest, you sound clueless and...

  5. Depression takes me out of work and I bear all

    kungpoopanda replied to Brookm482's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    There is no shame in needing care and treatment. It is very difficult to attempt to care for anyone else when you do, so you have done the right thing taking leave. I applaud your courage in telling...

  6. Dealing with difficult patients over the phone

    kungpoopanda replied to Mrs.LaDuke09's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Dealing with people, especially angry and anoyed ones, over the phone is a skill set of its own that needs to be learned. Can you go to your office manager and ask for some pointers that might start...

  7. Negative Nurses

    kungpoopanda replied to asdfg12345's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You sound quite negative towards women. Anyone working in a unit that is chronically understaffed is going to be at less than their best, be they male, female or yet to decide. The best thing you can...

  8. Fired over neglect

    kungpoopanda replied to monkey2012's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    If you are looking for new positions, I would leave this clinic off the resume altogether. You were only there briefly and it won't help you to have to explain why you were fired so soon. Just make...

  9. I need a pick-me-up!

    kungpoopanda replied to NightNurseRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Can you take a break for 20 minutes and have a power nap? Very often that tiny snooze is enough to get you through the remaining hours. There is a lot of research out atm about nurse fatigue and...

  10. Medical terminology according to patients

    kungpoopanda replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have heard the male part referred to as "The

  11. Medical terminology according to patients

    kungpoopanda replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Old people say "squawmish" when they feel queasy. Such an odd

  12. Help, I'm stuck and unsure what to do??

    kungpoopanda replied to Lopezlvn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Even if you are not fired, you need to get out of there

  13. Post partum interview

    kungpoopanda replied to New808BornRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm glad you cleared that up. I had visions of an overly keen student rushing in to interview the new mother before the placenta was

  14. Switching Careers - Architect to Nurse

    kungpoopanda replied to cmckee's topic in Nursing Career

    Don't do it. It is really not worth it. You will have no autonomy, no money and no life. Can't you find a way to make architecture more satisfying for you? Or perhaps get your human contact and...

  15. HELP I NEED ADVICE

    kungpoopanda replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm glad you've got the professional help you need Nette4866. In some ways it is good that the lid has blown on this pressure cooker and allowed you to face waht has been buried for years. Good luck...

  16. Annoying female coworker conversations

    kungpoopanda replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    No you weren't. You wanted to "stoke up some cameraderie" in a divisive way along tired old gender lines. There are plenty of annoying conversations by people of either gender that you need to...

  17. Break up in Nursing school

    kungpoopanda replied to Miss Dia's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I'm sorry you are going through this. Not much to add to the above, just take care of yourself. Eat well, get enough sleep and exercise. Throw yourself into your studies but make time for friends,...

  18. Raises after annual review where you work

    kungpoopanda replied to 1fastRN's topic in General Nursing

    No raise, COLA if

  19. Gotta work on my nurse face

    kungpoopanda replied to Malorymug's topic in General Students

    Or even a scrotal

  20. How to deal with negative nurses.

    kungpoopanda replied to Mae2014's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is why nursing will never get any better. The newbies come in starry eyed wanting to make a difference and the COBs swoop in to "socialize" it out of them. This post is unnecessarily vicious....

  21. Stop it!

    kungpoopanda replied to RNGriffin's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How does her harmless little fantasy affect you? If I had to work in some workplaces, I'd live in a fantasy world

  22. HELP I NEED ADVICE

    kungpoopanda replied to nette1022's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am sorry you are going through such a rough time. Maybe take a week or so to grieve and get your strength

  23. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    kungpoopanda replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Another time, I was showering a combative old "dear" who took a swing at me. I ducked and managed to take the tiled-in ceramic soap holder off the wall. With the back of my

  24. Stupid Nurse Tricks (Or How To Look Incredibly Stupid)

    kungpoopanda replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing
