  1. Chemical restraint and lazy nurses

    TheGooch replied to Veronica.c's topic in Patient Medications

    What I don't understand is why the OP is posting this on AN instead of reporting it to whomever it is she is supposed to report it to if she feels that this man is being chemically restrained. Asking...

  2. Chemical restraint and lazy nurses

    TheGooch replied to Veronica.c's topic in Patient Medications

    Why? Because it makes your job

  3. Chemical restraint and lazy nurses

    TheGooch replied to Veronica.c's topic in Patient Medications

    Don't you have an ombudsman? Isn't that the person you should be reporting this

  4. The Childish "I Wuv You" Act

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

    And let's not forget about bedbugs-they also like to hitch a ride on

  5. NEED HELP

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

    I would have just tore up the check and any other check that he made out. This is what has me confused. You said the man has dementia yet after you deposited the check the man was declared to be of...

  6. Pt's FB pictures of me

    TheGooch replied to rse3's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    This is what I am talking about. She wouldn't know who this person was unless she was part of the treatment which in this case was helping to deliver the baby. I don't know but it seems wrong to be...

  7. Pt's FB pictures of me

    TheGooch replied to rse3's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would think looking a patient up on Facebook would be wrong. She calls it that but others call it stalking. Sorry, there is no other way to put it but say she was wrong to do

  8. Still Angry at MAs playing nurse or PA

    TheGooch replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is a 4 year old thread you're commenting on. I would imagine this specific problem has been

  9. Talk down to no one...please!

    TheGooch replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well, you can respectfully disagree but the nursing schools where I live will not admit you unless you complete the CNA course which includes clinicals as a CNA student. Might not be 6 months as I...

  10. Talk down to no one...please!

    TheGooch replied to Mr Sacdiff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think nursing schools should require all applicants to work as a CNA for at least 6 months before they are

  11. The Childish "I Wuv You" Act

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

    I never hugged a radiologist but I have hugged my neurosurgeon and his PA. Funny, they didn't seem to mind. In fact, I think they appreciated being "thanked" that way. The PA hugged me-I didn't...

  12. Narcotic Administration in ER

    TheGooch replied to silver2009's topic in Emergency

    My sister was issued a DUI for driving while under the influence of psychiatric drugs so yeah, I think there is a law against driving while under the influence of

  13. The Right to Die with Dignity- MD assisted suicide

    TheGooch replied to SL2014's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Depends on how many benzos they take. I know someone who hoarded aver 150 xanax and took them all at one time as is being suggested. They didn't die-just wound up in the ICU in a coma for about 24...

  14. ER nurse wanting to switch to OR

    TheGooch replied to chiefsfan's topic in Operating Room

    For privacy reasons I wouldn't use a picture of yourself as your

  15. Stressed about a loved patient

    TheGooch replied to Sophia62's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How can she be "her own advocate" when she can NOT communicate.The OP might have over stepped her boundaries and made the "mortal sin" of becoming too attached to the lady but at least she is trying...

  16. Hypothetical Situation

    TheGooch replied to Bortaz's topic in General Nursing

    I love hypothetical situations. They usually start off with "my friend". In this case it's "a

  17. Nursing Imposters

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

    She/he obviously must have a lot of free time while working in order to do

  18. Stooopid

    TheGooch replied to Ciale's topic in Emergency

    This web page has a lot of hysterical definitions for Fumunda Urban Dictionary: fumunda

  19. How do you respond to rude patients?

    TheGooch replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

    Not to argue, but what you do is patronize the patient when you tell them what you posted in the other post. As for getting positive results from the patients you say that too, I would be afraid to...

  20. How do you respond to rude patients?

    TheGooch replied to MILOBRI's topic in Emergency

    LOL. Yeah, patronizing a patient is really going to help since every one of them thinks they are the worst and need to be seen right

  21. Drug Seeker Stories

    TheGooch replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    I know a young woman with end stage MNGIE who is afraid to ask for pain meds because of being perceived as a drug seeker. Drug seekers make it bad for those truly in

  22. Charity Patients

    TheGooch replied to sammiesmom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think you mean LIBTARD. A term I find highly offensive. You can get your point across without name calling. And the use of "tard" in any form is like I said, highly

  23. Crossing a line?

    TheGooch replied to nurse4littles's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    My thoughts exactly. Why ask people on a message board what they think when she pretty much received her answer from the people who matter the most-where she works and the

  24. Today's startling twist of fate!

    TheGooch replied to meanmaryjean's topic in Nurses Rock

  25. Pharmacy tech during nursing school?

    TheGooch replied to CNA1991's topic in General Nursing

    This thread is over a year old. Wonder what the OP decided what they should do and what they did
