  1. Have you worked with a GOAT in healthcare?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    We had one like that. Apparently he was a doctor in his home country and just didn't have the desire to be one in the US. Eventually my hospital got rid of all LPNs and I think he just

  5. Are you okay with bartering?

    DesiDani posted a topic in General Nursing

    Is okay to promise a patient or their family members something in order to get to the goal you want? If the ends justify the means during that shift, is all good and well? Is it possible for bartering...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I ask if someone has gotten their shots. If COVID is mentioned, I bring up that I got mine. Tell them yes and ask if they got theirs. If they say no, I don't go on the attack or stalk them through out...

    DesiDani replied to NightNerd's topic in General Nursing

    That the Butterfly Effect occurs 24/7 in healthcare. The smallest interference from listening to a patient vent for 15 mins, too long welfare check, a fall, nurse running late, short staff, and all...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I remember she was single with no kids, only her dogs. She was supposed to show for work, but didn't. This lady was never slow and could move. Anyway, since it was unusual for her not to show up a...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    First, no it wasn't the candy she put out for us. I worked in a nursing home. This older nurse at least 60-70s was like zen all the time. Always calm, nice, and a good nurse. Any question you had for...

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Making a stink or not they are still apart of those who are on the fence. They may not be the target of the shame, but they will feel the

  17. Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I hope that people don't generalize anti-vaxxers as white, Southern, and/ Trump supporters. Minorities such as African American and Hispanics are also hesitant about getting the vaccine and they don't...

  18. Is someone justified in harassing someone to tell them if they got vaccinated or not?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Staying on topic. Remember that many black people are also hesitant to get the vaccine. Some are weary because of history. When people get a sense of "you better do this or else" even if the "this" is...

  24. Are you okay with bartering?

    DesiDani replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    If there are established limits there is no need to barter. Plus if another sees they will ask for it too round and round we go. Not good if that person is another patient's family
