    Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Here.I.Stand replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    My oldest son has always been a slow pooper. When he was little I would get expletives in my head if we needed to get out the door and he announced "I need to go unga." A couple years ago he got...

    To Suction or Not To Suction, End of Life & Hospice Patients

    Here.I.Stand replied to NickICU-RN's topic in General Nursing

    If the pt looks like they are struggling with their secretions, I might. If they are at that unconscious with the death rattle stage, I give meds. Our hospice team (consulted for the ICU care to...

    Here.I.Stand replied to YellowMaskrosbarn's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah... I too just looked at your other threads, and in my opinion the ADN comments were the least of your offenses. I can see how someone with no nursing background could be ignorant of ADN...

    Here.I.Stand replied to Hnurse101's topic in General Nursing

    Oh **** no. I would seriously consider not a two week notice, but a two minute warning. What I would ABSOLUTELY do is 1) Call the ombudsman. Your higher ups are interfering with your med pass....

    Written warning for something I did not do! Feeling beat down by DON!

    Here.I.Stand replied to vmcneil2010's topic in General Nursing

    And did they write up every nurse between Wednesday and Monday for not doing the skin assessment? If so, their poor use of time is downright

    Here.I.Stand replied to vmcneil2010's topic in General Nursing

    I would start your job search yesterday. Your ADON/DON have time for THIS, but can't step onto the floor to help get things done? Let's deal in reality here: time management can only go so far. At...

    Do you go to work with vomiting/diarrhea?

    What is it like changing people?

    Here.I.Stand replied to Skippy97's topic in General Nursing

    You get used to it very quickly -- it's urine, and sometimes poop. Everyone does it; these people just happen to need help with theirs. Plus we have gloves.

    If you have it in writing AND they use self scheduling, yeah I can see how maddening that is. Do you still have your copy of the agreement? Yes they have to staff the floor... but is it really...

    Here.I.Stand replied to 3jhill's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    That does sound like practicing pharmacy to me. Plus, aseptic technique aside, what is your system of checking for accuracy? In the hospital, we can't even hang TPN without a dual checkoff... I...

    Is it legal for your boss to dictate where you poop?

    Here.I.Stand replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Right -- your boss will think you poop lemon meringue pies, like in the ad! Maybe a copy of "Everybody Poops" as a gift too?? In all seriousness, I don't know about the legality, but really??? The...
