    Very Condescending Tech?

    Emergent replied to lapizius's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I've had this problem before. One tech comes to mind. She would inevitably do it in front of a patient which inhibited my responding. I decided I was sick of it. I started simply saying, immediately...

    Wrongful suspension??

    Emergent replied to Mrsd1983's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    True, but I was talking about how I'd feel. If I found out an employee of mine had been recording me, I would be furious. Here's a helpful page regarding legalities and containing wise advise. Can I...

    Wrongful suspension??

    Emergent replied to Mrsd1983's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I would feel very weird if a coworker was recording our conversations. Fortunately, my state has a higher respect for privacy and recording without the other person's knowledge is illegal. Put the...

    Can Text Convay Enough

    Emergent replied to Reigh7's topic in General Nursing

    It's good to self moderate, I agree. On the other hand, we aren't responsible for every easily crushed soul who happens to read our opinions. As a side note, in paragraph 6 of your heartfelt post,...

    Emergent replied to rnfrombama's topic in General Nursing

    I would love to work at the Habitat for Humanity store. Alas, they pay minimum wage. The customers are all cool people like me, and I'd get to check out all the stuff

    Coworkers discussing my health info

    Emergent replied to Catcar1963's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If that is correct, report that to your agency. This is pretty clear cut. If Mom is your ally, she will back you up. Regarding home care and getting too personal, yes, I did a couple of cases years...

    Coworkers discussing my health info

    Emergent replied to Catcar1963's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It sound like you are the one who told the mom. You admit it was a mistake. Whether you like it or not, many people would have a problem with allowing a bipolar nurse, who had to take a 2 month break...

    Administering opiates

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just reading another thread of someone who got accused of diverting because of diluting morphine in a NS bag to administer. It reminded me of my rules for handling/administering controlled...

    Administering opiates

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. But I've come to the conclusion that pt satisfaction is good for my career. And reading the nurses in recovery section here has been eye opening. People get falsely accused. I like to stay...

    Narcan pens for kids to use on parents?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, here's a surprise! The cost of narcan products has steeply risen. One company has a monopoly and is drastically raising prices with the increased demand. Nothing like getting public health...

    Narcan pens for kids to use on parents?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Narcan pens for kids to use on parents?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Then, the parents stay alive and continue to zone out and the kids live off of cheetos and pop. The kids hit the streets in early teens, have an above average amount of kids of their own, creating an...

    Thanks God for healing (and to modern medicine )

    Emergent posted a topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I am bemused by people who thank God for healing their friend or relative, when the CABG, chemotherapy, antibiotics are what did the trick, in actuality. I'm not denying God here, but let's face...

    Emergent replied to kacs13's topic in General Nursing

    I switched to ER after 17 years of other nursing experiences. You'll go through the learning curve again, with a solid background. It's a very entertaining dept, I've been at it for close to 6 years....

    Describing patients by race/ethnicity

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    When patients present to our ER, the admitting reps are, apparently, required to assign a race or ethnicity to patients. I'll see it at the top of the computer screen. It's so obnoxious and...
