  1. Does segregation exist in hospital settings

    DesiDani posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Segregation based on race, class, or religion. Do nurse supervisor unwittingly segregate patients by placing them in rooms because of factors other than medical necessities. For example I've noticed...

  2. When "my CNAs are my eyes and ears. That is why I love them" can be used as an excuse

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    When should a CNA not be a RNs eyes and ears? Can a RN depend on cnas to be their eyes and ears too

  3. When "my CNAs are my eyes and ears. That is why I love them" can be used as an excuse

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    That's right Hygiene Queen. (Gelling in) Some RN do in fact only look at the patient when the CNA tells them there is a problem. (Gelling

  6. Do patients get jealous and/or mad at the other patient's visitors

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    And how can nurses help? The roommate is nice, but a patient will hate to admit it but his family makes them angry and resentful. No one has visited them in days and if they did it was

  7. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    "Maybe you are new" is a tired played out response. Examples not listening to staff because "she is not relevant to me!". I don't care how good you are at your job, or how much of an assets you are,...

  9. Secretaries who believe they rule the unit or hospital

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Horseshoe, Yeah we had a UC who also anticipated orders, she ended up being terminated after multiple complaints from doctors and RNs. Sure some are organized and a saving grace for a unit, but there...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  12. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A RN here said they charted fake vitals : "Usually it doesn't catch up with anybody, because usually it isn't a big deal. I've known a ton of nurses who "write in" vital signs, restraint...

  13. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You're hopefully not assuming I don't. I chart my own vitals, I/O, ROM, hygiene care, repositioning. You still can't refute the fact that if a "time of death" is at 1pm and you charted that you...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Read any article on the case. The problem with precharting since most charting today is done with computers (at least in hospitals). It is permament, even if you delete it what will remain is a red...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Riddle me this: the actor Kristoff St. John son died of suicide while in a mental facility. The RNs charted that they checked on him every fifteen minutes. Well they precharted that they checked on...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see a lot of guilt trips. Sure admin is messed up. Yet this a nursing forum and your boss is not here. No one has said it was wrong, that is what I don't get. I may have no experience (slight I'm...

  19. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How do you explain if it doesn't match with reality. False charting is just wrong, better not to put anything down. Ill maybe just a CNA, but I'm surprise that so many RNs are justifying an obvious...

  20. Charting, done by the amazing psychic nurse

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Well when you have to account for charting and you have some made up stuff, what do you say then? I've seen RNs fired for filling in stuff. Not

  21. Have you ever went into shock while at work?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    I don't mean throwing up, but literally freezing. Even worst fainting. How does a nurse cope, how to handle a nurse who goes into shock and take care of the

  22. I've been suspended

    DesiDani replied to Sheila2155's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm a CNA and in my opinion unless the person who said the patient was "quiet" worked in housekeeping, the person who told you a patient was "quiet" should be suspended along with you. Of course you...

  23. Do you tell family members that their loved ones are nasty and combative

    DesiDani posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Or do you never go into detail and just say "everything is fine". Do loved ones have the right to know that their loved ones are acting

  24. What are your personal standards when a patient "refuses care"

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    For example personal care and/or ADL care. Do you keep asking, find out why, or just leave it at that. No, I don't think that every patient who refuses care is mentally incompetent. They may just be...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
