  1. I really want to know?

    TheGooch replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone is like that though. You only have 1.5 years of experience and you're already jaded.

  2. Tips for Being a Good Patient

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

    What really gets me about this thread is the idea that a sick person should spend their time while in the hospital being concerned about how much they are liked by the staff by not being a difficult...

  3. I really want to know?

    TheGooch replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the one that said that about my experience while hospitalized after surgery. And I almost hated to post it because people get so defensive here regarding the issue. In my case I am not a drug...

  4. Tips for Being a Good Patient

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

    I'm LMAO over these two. Like I said, my nurse didn't care that I had pain-only that it was too early for the medication, but no suggestions on how to make it better. Oh and I was never asked to...

  5. Tips for Being a Good Patient

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

    Really? Because when I had surgery and had some pain before my next dose of pain meds I was told it wasn't time for it and that was it. To the OP-you're the patient. I wouldn't spend so much time...

  6. Cough drops

    TheGooch replied to ohiobobcat's topic in School

    How times have changed since the 60's and 70's when I went to school when bringing your own cough drops and aspirin to school were not a

  7. I Don't Get the Anxiety Part of Nursing

    TheGooch replied to missmollie's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I think you have that wrong. When she said that I think she meant it that she was glad she wasn't the patient because they have a lot of stress from being ill. I don't think she wasn't saying the...

  8. Depressed self-referral to ED

    TheGooch replied to jana82's topic in General Nursing

    Like someone said, the next time she is feeling that way she is going to remember how she was treated and not go to the ER for help.

  9. Depressed self-referral to ED

    TheGooch replied to jana82's topic in General Nursing

    I know, this is ridiculous. The person is already feeling crappy enough to want to kill themselves and they are subjected to very degrading treatment IMO. Oh, but they might harm themselves is the...

  10. Correcting Others mistakes?

    TheGooch replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    She can't be that awesome if what you said is true. Aren't you supposed to be an advocate for your patient?

  11. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    TheGooch replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    No, rude is spouting religious crap on a non religious

  12. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    TheGooch replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand why people have to post their religious crap on threads like this. Not everyone believes in what the various churches preach and quite frankly I think it's a

  13. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    TheGooch replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    I don't believe in that crap. Sorry but that's how I feel about your post. Satan and god are myths IMO and are tools used by religions to keep the sheeple in line and the donation basket

  14. Took my Nclex PN, stopped at 85, help!!!!

    TheGooch replied to GVNurseNieNie's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And unless you know for certain that you did pass you can't use "nurse" in your user name

  15. Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    TheGooch replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    LOL. Big chip on the old

  16. Registered Nurse Interview (Due ASAP)

    TheGooch replied to FutureJoy's topic in General Students

    Wow, you come to a nursing forum to do your homework and get upset because people are being "facetious". Such a big word. Seriously though. Got to love people who come and then try to dictate who can...

  17. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

    TheGooch replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    Cool

  18. Drug seekers

    TheGooch replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sick of the self righteousness I see here regarding this topic. Just give the damn medication as prescribed. Just because someone doesn't act the way YOU think they should while in pain doesn't...

  19. Drug seekers

    TheGooch replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, like it's never been brought up

  20. Drug seekers

    TheGooch replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    So it's okay for you to "delay" the medication for a patient in pain if you have other priorities. Pot meet

  22. The cost of medications and universal healthcare

  23. Drug seekers

    TheGooch replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I could "like" this a bazillion

  24. Drug seekers

    TheGooch replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    That's why I'm using MMJ. I don't have to worry about self righteous judgmental people(like the OP) any more at the ER when I have a flare up of my lower back pain. Getting approved to use it was one...

  25. The cost of medications and universal healthcare

    TheGooch replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I thought her post was rather condescending. Not everyone in the US spends their time waving the
