    It's a crime to take pictures of your patients

    Emergent replied to Alnitak7's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    No, I have no problem not photographing patients. Just don't do it and you'll be fine. I'm sure it's okay if you are a part of a church group that ministers at a nursing home. You just shouldn't do it...

    Yesterday was weird

    Emergent replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think the perineal grooming habits of young ladies across the land has become quite serious. Pubic hair has, in fact, gone totally out of style, I've

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

    It does make the forum more fun to have this sort of stuff, come to think of it. I'm glad the forum allows it. It would be a less entertaining forum to only discuss dry topics, or whether you can...

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

    I happen to think a good rule would be that brand new posters no be able to start threads for a while. Example: I post on a Catholic forum. Over and over again they get a brand new poster open a...

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

    OK, I read the dumb NETY thread. I had previously ignored it when it first popped up. My impression? It's a poster who started a new identity, has an axe to grind with Green Tea and Ruby Vee, and...

    Yesterday was weird

    Emergent replied to MECO28's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just did an online search and found a pair of lace thong panties with a double strand pearl crotch for $89.99. So, yes, there are panties in that price

    Need advice...retaliation?

    Emergent replied to ruralnurse84's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You should count your blessings that you have a level-headed manager in your corner. It can otherwise be very difficult, especially in a small, rural hospital where there is less job-mobility....

    A Good Nurse Manager...

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Nurse Management

    Sadly, sometimes upper management drives good managers away by overworking them. This just happened to another hardworking, organized, well liked manager in our hospital. They piled on the work by...

    Er burn out? Stressed out?

    Emergent replied to ERnurse71's topic in Emergency

    That's right. Those frequent flyers, they are chinga ching ching, money in the bank. We play a role in society, and get paid well to do so. One of our assigned tasks is minding the drunk tank, among...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    Emergent replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I'm amazed at the ability of some people to continue following a story forever. You must have an amazing attention span.

    favoritism comes full circle

    Emergent replied to passive sambo's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Interesting peek into your world. I agree, paragraphs would help readability, but I nevertheless enjoyed your rambling

    why do nurses hate medics?

    Emergent replied to loboracer's topic in Emergency

    Wow, in our ER I see zero friction. They like us better than the other nearby hospital I've heard. I love all our EMS folks, except for one. She is rude and unpleasant, and not well liked, but that's...

    sick (pardon the pun) of teachers

    Emergent replied to mycsm's topic in School

    That's an etiquette issue that should have been dealt with by his parents years ago (Says mother of 4 sons) "Now Johnny, we don't touch down there in front of other people, and don't pick your nose in...

    Uh, don't butt in a fun venting thread by telling the OP that they are negative. It's annoying and, well, judgmental. Now quit

    been recommended to have my license on probation

    Emergent replied to nicolesargent74's topic in General Nursing

    I really think this forum should disallow real names. This is a brand new poster who could very well be using someone else's name to slander them or spread malicious gossip. People do a lot of...

    Just a Cog

    Emergent replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, we are cogs. Nothing is new under the Sun. This is basically the way the world has worked ever since the first caveman accrued status and got the other cavemen to make his arrowheads for him. He...

    The "increase minimum wage" issue.

    Emergent replied to shermrn's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I was curious about this. You're right about the Iraq American body count, but totally wrong about Afghanistan. That spiked up after Obama was in office. I personally think that the President is a...

    When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    Emergent posted a topic in Emergency

    This is sort of funny. It's about one of my favorite ER techs, but she annoys the heck out of me by being pushy and bossy at times. I had a nose bleeder, an old man, history of nose bleeds since...

    When pushy CNAs show how little they know

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    Yes I did teach her. I gently explained that he wasn't bleeding out, but most likely vagaled. Incidentally, this gal is very savvy, and never hesitates to try to make others feel like an idiot for...

    Pet peeve, bad practice, or overly critical?

    Emergent replied to NewICU's topic in Critical Care

    I'm on the other end of it, accompanying my ICU pts up to the unit. Always the pt is immediately hooked up to the monitor. I had to look up what this CHG bath thing is, I'd never heard of it, is it a...

    Full time or Part time as a New Graduate

    You'll never regret working part time while you have young ones. If you can afford it, do it! You'll be

    Can you solve this mcg to mg conversion?

    Emergent posted a topic in Patient Medications

    I was working at my Per Diem job yesterday. One of the acute care nurses came to me, baffled by an order for Fentanyl that read 100mcg/2ml give 0.025 to 0.05 mg. First of all, I think that's a dumb...

    What job will you do for your semi-retirement?

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    For some of you, retirement is just around the corner. Has anyone thought of doing something else part time after you have retired from nursing? I was thinking it would be nice to work in a plant...
