    Emergent replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    I was just looking at Facebook. My conspiracy theory friend posted an article that shaken baby syndrome is actually caused by vaccines, NOT parents. Then the poor parents get falsely accused by an...

    I'm not coming back to this gig!

    Emergent replied to vintagemother's topic in Nursing Humor

    Usually crazy comes in groups. I'm talking patient and their entire messed up family. Control freak Mom, dirty old man grandpa, meth head brother, religious fanatic grandma, the list goes on and on....

    Emergent replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    My oldest son's new wife is carrying my soon to be born first grandchild. She has other children, including one that is profoundly developmentally disabled. They think it was the results of a...

    The film: Vaxxed.

    Emergent replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    To answer the second half of your question, what should the health care workers response be? For some reason the non-compliance with standard vaccination recommendations pushes emotional buttons in...

    Emergent replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Too answer your question about why, I'll tell you what I think. Some people are mistrustful of the government. They are suspicious of the relationship between government and profiteering drug...

    Emergent replied to FirstLadyRN's topic in MICU, SICU

    In my ER, we always have pt on defibulator, with doc in room, and usually 2 RNs. We hook up a NS bag with a 20 CC syringe up at the top port. One nurse is in charge of the flush from that. Other nurse...

    What's up with all the 'failed NCLEX' posts?

    Emergent replied to Magsulfate's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the tests should not contain so many trick questions, but more accurately assess competency and

    Newer RN being treated poorly by Coworker(s)

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

    Don't blame him. He, too, has to survive. Remember not to expect people to stick out their necks for you in life, when up against insurmountable odds. He's an ordinary guy, trying to make a living,...

    Newer RN being treated poorly by Coworker(s)

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

    Just kiss up and be as positive as possible. Smile and act grateful. Heap coals of friendliness and graciousness on the heads of those who despitefully used you. Pretend like these people are...

    Newer RN being treated poorly by Coworker(s)

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

    When you've decided to move on, it's important to 'let go'. Thank everyone for the opportunity they gave and all you learned. Remember, you're leaving because of an entrenched culture. You telling...

    People who don't look before flushing (#2)

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a patient come in the other day with abdominal symptoms. I was asking the usual questions, including what did his BM look like. I'm surprised how many people don't look before flushing! Did...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care about RN Dynamic. Part of me is angry that this nurse was playing me for the fool. He put me on the spot with these wastes. Part of me doubts myself, that I AM a fool to doubt his...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm feeling very tearful and upset about this. I was actually considering going to talk to the employee health person about this, unheard of for me. They offer some confidential counseling I've heard....

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The matter is now out of my hands. I'm told that pharmacy and my manager are going up chain of command with this problem. The union can also get involved as they see fit. I pray for the most positive...

    Would you report possible diversion?

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    The current manager is an interim one. She fell into the job when the previous one resigned. She's pretty useless and I don't quite trust her to follow through or be impartial, since she, too, used to...

    Jahi is still on 'life support'?!

    Emergent replied to Julius Seizure's topic in General Nursing

    I guess she has enough brain to keep her in a vegetative state. This is a first world tragedy, so sad, yet so first world. I'm sorry for everyone, she looks beautiful in the photo.I would have a hard,...
