  1. Nurse on Pt end of Pain Mgmt - UPDATE

    TheGooch replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    I'm seriously considering it. They want me to do PT but the last time I did it for my neck they made it worse. I have all the documentation to back it

  2. Are care plans valuable?

    TheGooch replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    yeah and if it's not documented in the care plan it wasn't done even if you did do it but just thought "it was a waste of time" to document

  3. Are care plans valuable?

    TheGooch replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I can give you an example. They cover your butt when a place is being sued for negligence and wrongful death. If something is documented they can't say you didn't do it. I would think it would be...

  5. Nurse on Pt end of Pain Mgmt - UPDATE

    TheGooch replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    They always want to prescribe narcs. They did nothing for my pain when I had neck problems. I think they are

  6. Nurse on Pt end of Pain Mgmt - UPDATE

    TheGooch replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    IMO Opiates do nothing for chronic neck or back pain. I have lower back pain from DDD and my doc has me on an anti inflammatory and muscle relaxer. It seems to work. My old neighbor had back pain and...

  7. A sense of accomplishment

    TheGooch replied to Brian's topic in General Students

    Then when they become a nurse they turn into people haters who spend their time here patient

  8. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    TheGooch replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    Pain is subjective. What might be a 5 to you might be a 10 to a person with a low pain threshold. It's too bad you people don't take all this effort from patient bashing and use it say what you do...

  9. Be honest, what pt behaviors do you find annoying?

    TheGooch replied to CrunchBerries's topic in General Nursing

    My point exactly that I posted on the other thread. It's okay to patient bash but just don't say you hate people in general like the OP did in the other thread. Would be interesting to see how many of...

  10. I Hate People (my rant)

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

    To get a rise out of people which they accomplished. While everyone is on their high moral horses maybe you all should make sure that you've never bashed a patient or their families. The OP is...

  14. Nursing and the supernatural

    TheGooch replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah it was for her. We lived in a a haunted house for 14 years and she saw people all time. She slept in the family room because my Dad snores and the coach faced a tv cabinet with glass doors. One...

  15. The Truth About Nursing

    TheGooch replied to LorieStesk's topic in General Nursing

    I hate people who slurp their food. Or gum it. I also have a low tolerance for snorers. And 4 year olds who live in the apartment above me who spend their time running up and down the hall in it. The...

  16. Nursing and the supernatural

    TheGooch replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    She saw dead people even before she was dying. She saw my dead cousin at a relatives house that she spent a lot of time at. We never went to the funeral because we were in another state but she said...

  17. Nursing and the supernatural

    TheGooch replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    LOL. I don't subscribe to any religion. But I do believe in ghosts. Maybe you need to see one-then you'll

  18. Nursing and the supernatural

  20. Non nurses on AN

    TheGooch replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I know which one it is and what person you are talking about. But I won't say it since the Admins said not to. As for non nurses giving advice I think sometimes patients who have experienced something...

  21. Nurse Practitioner or PA

    TheGooch replied to carti's topic in General Nursing

    PA's don't go to med school, physicians do. Also, don't most PA programs require a certain number of hands on medical field experience hours before they even consider you? I also believe you have to...

  22. I got reported to HR

    TheGooch replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    First World Problems. Problems from living in a wealthy, industrialized nation that third worlders would probably roll their eyes

  23. I got reported to HR

    TheGooch replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's not a question of "privilege". I don't see this as a race thing. I see it as someone making fun of another persons name just because it is unique. Rude, yes. Should the person have reported it?...

  24. I got reported to HR

    TheGooch replied to katie92's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The question is rude regardless of a persons skin color. If you're such a nice person as you claim you would see why it
