  5. Is it possible to have a false positive PCP result?

    Meerkat replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting you should ask this! I recently had two very unlikely patients show up positive for PCP. One was a 14 year old severely autistic boy who was basically mute and developmentally delayed....

  7. Have You Ever Refused To Accept Report on a Patient?

    Meerkat posted a topic in General Nursing

    What are the laws in your area of refusing to accept a patient into your care? I refused to accept a patient who had assaulted me sexually earlier in the year. I'm trying to find the Florida Nuse...

  8. Have You Ever Refused To Accept Report on a Patient?

    Meerkat replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Happy, I am VERY sorry that happened to you. And I'm sorry for the question the poster asked you, as it seemed insensitive and ignorant. If people only realized exactly what kind of monsters lurk...

    Meerkat replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the great info! Yes, my manager was not happy at all that I refused the assignment, even in light of the circumstances. The reasoning was that 'everyone' has been assaulted at some time...

  11. Police Killed Our Patient

    Meerkat replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't a cop bashing thread. And what makes you think you have more of a clue than I do? How do you know I wasn't at the ER when the man was brought in, or that I haven't read the record? You...

    Meerkat replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Well done! Those were exactly the points I was going to address! Excellent! Lurksalot is biased, sure she/he wants to see his/her spouse at the end of the day. I imagine, though, that so did the...

  13. Police Killed Our Patient

    Meerkat replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you assuming there is a cardiac hx and that the police were just defending themselves? He was already in custody. Not that that excludes the possibility that they were defending themselves,...

    Meerkat replied to SilentfadesRPA's topic in General Nursing

    There's nothing necessarily un-natural about it. We don't know this man's cultural or religious beliefs. It may well be in line with those aspects of his life that he choose DNR. I am perfectly...

  19. Stinky Co Worker

    Meerkat posted a topic in General Nursing

    Bless her heart, my co-worker is really stinky. She toots all day long, the most nauseating, brain cell killing gas. She has my dog beat in terms of flatulence, and he has spent the last 10 years...

    Meerkat replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all your input. I think she knows she is stinky, because she's on some kinda weight loss diet. There's no way she could NOT know that she is stinky. I don't want to embarrass her further...
