  1. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

    TheGooch replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    . The other thread was closed and this one is already on page 6 for such a such a disliked topic. Like I said, boggles the

  2. In light of the recent NETY thread that was closed...

    TheGooch replied to Lev's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Isn't the point of closing a thread is that the topic is now close for discussion because it got heated? Why do people feel the need to start another thread in which to discuss why the old thread got...

  3. What are the stress level ranking for these units?

    TheGooch replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Really? When I had a 2 level ACDF a few years back I got out of surgery around 3:30 and was basically ignored the first night I was there. No one came in to check and see if I had any difficulty...

  4. My favorite med:

    TheGooch replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in Patient Medications

    I had a combo of versed and fentanyl when I had a liver biopsy this year, I call them the "happy drugs". I felt like that girl in "Sixteen Candles" who took all that valium on her wedding

  5. New procedures without training: Irresponsible or unavoidable?

    TheGooch replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    The patient was fine-it was in the OP

  6. Who punches a cancer patient?

    TheGooch replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    WRONG. The kid shouldn't have hit an old man period. I'm sick of people blaming the victim. If the kid felt threatened by an elderly man I hate to think what his reaction would have been if it had...

  7. Who punches a cancer patient?

    TheGooch replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You pretty much implied that it was when you used the word

  8. Who punches a cancer patient?

    TheGooch replied to 1wellnessnurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    See, it's the old race card. The young innocent black kid is the target of racial attacks these days from the likes of cops and little old frail men. Haven't you been watching the news? Seriously, to...

  9. Curious to know why Jahi thread was closed?

    TheGooch replied to RNIBCLC's topic in Nursing News

    That was me and I see nothing wrong with what I said. I wasn't the one that brought race up in the first place. On, and way to go for sneaking it into this new thread, you just couldn't let it go....

  10. Dealing with dementia residents

    TheGooch replied to hayley87breanne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Most places are understaffed so they can save money. Training is not a priority. They just stick them where ever they need the help regardless of their

  11. Dealing with dementia residents

    TheGooch replied to hayley87breanne's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yep, you can't reason with a dementia patient. From my own experiences with NH most of the people who work with them are not properly trained in how to deal with them and what behaviors are normal....

  12. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    TheGooch replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Blunt lies and exaggeration annoy you? Well people who have nothing better to do than be a killjoy annoy me. If you had such a problem with the thread why did you even read it considering it's about...

  13. Ebola Nursing Survey: to Quarantine or Not to Quarantine

    TheGooch replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That's just it. At this time she isn't a danger but who's to say down the road she doesn't start having symptoms. Then the authorities will have to track down all the people she came into contact....

  14. Support Kaci Hickox

    TheGooch replied to nurse2033's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why should people support her. She's an arrogant ***** who is putting others at

  15. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    TheGooch replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    None of you are experts on the disease-you're just nurses. So I consider all of the information here

  16. RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    TheGooch replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    None of you are experts on ebola so the moral outrage from you is a moot point. If you or a loved one contracted the disease because someone who was over there was out and about while they were sick...

  17. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    TheGooch replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Good. Any medical professional who has direct contact will be quarantined in NY and NJ for 21 days. About time. Too bad that people feel it isn't necessary. That's

  18. Nina Pham Ebola-Free, Discharged from Hospital

    TheGooch replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Why do they destroy their

  19. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    TheGooch replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wrong. Doesn't make a difference where he contracted it. If you want to lay that argument out be my guest. The fact is he was in West Africa and he was treating ebola patients which makes him a pretty...

  20. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    TheGooch replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    His actions are sort of arrogant to me. He was feeling unwell a couple of days beforehand and yet he didn't isolate himself. It wasn't until he had a fever of 103 that he sought out medical help. If...

  21. Doctors Without Borders Physician Tests Possitive for Ebola In New York City

    TheGooch replied to herring_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    They guy was not feeling well for a couple of days but it wasn't until he had a fever of 103 that he decided to seek medical care. Meanwhile he was out and about while he was feeling unwell riding in...

  22. *rolling my eyes*

    TheGooch replied to OhioCCRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A big NO. They would have found a way to blame a

  23. Improving Patient Experience

    TheGooch replied to scrubulator's topic in Operating Room

    Just make sure the music that is playing is not some loud modern rock/rap crap with foul language. That happened to me once when I was wheeled in the OR. The circulating nurse told the young woman to...

  24. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    TheGooch replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Have them stay at a hotel? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. That's a really bright

  25. Is it fair for the media to blame the RN in Texas for contracting Ebola?

    TheGooch replied to luv2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I just read that too. Interesting how the guy who is in charge of it has been on the news the whole day saying she should never have been allowed to fly(which seemed like he was blaming the hospital)...
