  1. Assumptions

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

    I would just take the high road and let it go. IMO there are more important things in the world to get worked up

  2. Drug Seekers

    TheGooch replied to KYARNP's topic in Emergency

    Wow, that's just sad that you think it's excusable to laugh and make fun of sick people who have put their health in your hands. Just

  3. "No One Respects My Religious Beliefs"

    TheGooch replied to Mikey31079's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If she's supposed to pray 5 times a day then she should do it before coming to work, during her lunch and 2 breaks and then again at home. Why should the hospital accommodate her when she has a lunch...

  4. Nasty nurses II

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

    LOL! The OP had another thread discussing the same topic and it was closed for staff

  5. Nasty nurses II

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

    The other thread was closed for evaluation so you start another one? Sort of asking for

  6. Most shocking thing you've seen another nurse do?

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

    But I thought nurses were supposed to advocate for their patients? IMO the person who sat and watched as this was happening without reporting it is just as guilty as the nurse who did it. Regardless...

  8. Well here's something I didn't think about: secondhand pot smoke?

    TheGooch replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    yeah, and some of these houses even had kids in them. I don't see anyone talking about exposing underage children to the smoke-all they're upset about is that you said you hoped he blew himself up....

    TheGooch replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe in bad karma or whatever you choose to call it. You're responsible for your own fate. If the guy does blow up from making hash oil it's his own damn fault not the

    TheGooch replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    I knew you were joking. People need to lighten up a bit.

  11. Well here's something I didn't think about: secondhand pot smoke?

    TheGooch replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    Little hard when you live in a multi-family dwelling like I do and people smoke

  12. Well here's something I didn't think about: secondhand pot smoke?

    TheGooch replied to Guttercat's topic in General Nursing

    You might be joking about blowing himself up but I live in Colorado and there has been an increase in this happening since they legalized pot. As for inhaling the stuff and not passing a drug test I...

  13. Sick of hearing "We don't want mom (or dad) to know"

    TheGooch replied to TXRN44's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Isn't that against the law? Unless they have a POA they legally have no right to this information unless the patient says it's okay, am I

  14. Nurses promoting faux alternatives to medicine

    TheGooch replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    And you know what's even sadder? Someone took it as the gospel truth and posted it on a breast cancer form. She was quickly told it is a

    TheGooch replied to mhy12784's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds like crap from that "DR" Mercola's

  16. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    TheGooch replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I still stand by my comment about the double standard I see here. It's okay to make fun of the overweight or obese patient who needed 4 medical people to move them but you can't say anything bad about...

  17. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    TheGooch replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I can live with the fatty liver and the suggestions he has given. The bigger picture that concerns me is that I might have AIH and the treatment for it. I also take full responsibility for any extra...

  19. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    TheGooch replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I've stopped eating all junk foods and walk 2 miles a day yet I am having a hard time losing the weight. So the stop eating fries holds no water here. I'm 5' 1" and weigh about 150. I was told my...

  20. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    TheGooch replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    No, fat people don't deserve to be judged just like very skinny people don't deserve to be judged. When I was younger I couldn't gain weight no matter how much I ate; I was an unhealthy 79/80 pounds...

  21. How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    TheGooch replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    First I want to apologize for saying overweight or obese nurses shouldn't be giving advice to patients about losing weight. Since I posted that I've been made aware of issues that might be beyond...

    OT but that dog is hysterical. You must have a lot of fun with

  23. I had the most AMAZING nurses today

    TheGooch replied to TheGooch's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, one of the techs asked me how I was doing after I received the meds and I told her that-they all thought it was hysterical. As for the liver biopsy, it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to...

  24. I had the most AMAZING nurses today

    TheGooch posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had to have a liver biopsy today and the nurses who took care of me were AMAZING. I was anxious about this for about 2 weeks but they treated me so nicely and I actually had a pleasant experience. I...
