    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think the idea is, a) to protect healthcare workers from false accusations, and b) as evidence in a possible malpractice lawsuits. My law enforcement friend says, only he or his supervisor are...

    2 Nurse Skin ✔ q Shift ❓

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    On my last job I had a lot of time on my hands. I watched a lot of body cam video to fill the time. Then I talked to a police officer I knew. These websites on YouTube are able to obtain body cam...

    2 Nurse Skin ✔ q Shift ❓

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. There are plenty of unbalanced and/or litigious patients in acute care. Maybe the second nurse is more of an escort, in case of false accusations. Eventually they're probably going...

    Emergent replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

    I was having weird lights in front of my eyes as I was looking at the computer, while at work in the ER. I told my doctor there that I was working with, and he said I needed to leave work and have my...

    Patients Filming You

    Emergent replied to Anonymous666's topic in General Nursing

    I actually worked with the CNA that I'm pretty sure was in the witness protection program. He was living in a remote area of the Pacific NW, and had a Central American wife, and told me that he used...

    Best Incident Report Ever Written

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    After reading how the hospital managers brushed Lucy Letby situation under the rug, I think that Healthcare managers everywhere are primarily trying to meet their bottom line and keep their lucrative...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I'll bet that's a voice recognition typo. Even if it isn't, it's kind of tacky to correct people's spelling. It doesn't win hearts. If there are any mistakes in my posts, it's probably voice...

    Oxycodone vs fentanyl

    Emergent replied to Sparrow73's topic in General Nursing

    Oxycodone is an oral drug. It can't be given to someone who is in NPO. Yeah, people around here get pretty cranky sometimes when students ask questions or try to get information. Tread carefully...

    I skip over all their articles because they want you to register with them and give them your email. I just don't feel like doing that. I'm not sure if you have to pay it somewhere along the line. The...

    CPR Renewal and Physical Limitations

    Emergent replied to Cricket183's topic in General Nursing

    I had a friend who just couldn't satisfy the computerized dummy with her chest compressions. It was the course that the hospital had started doing, in lieu of an old fashioned, in person course....

    Gotcha. Yes, some nurses have killed in order to be heroes, or be where the action is. They haven't gone into great detail whether that was an aspect of her

    I've heard the same thing about our local food bank. People have found the healthy foods thrown away. People don't want to soak beans overnight and cook them. They want instant foods like everybody...

    @KalipsoRed21 it sounds like you took my post personally. I'm sorry you're having a hard time . I was just talking about cooking from scratch, which has become a rarity in our society. I'm sorry your...

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    I was on an extremely tight budget in my twenties. My first husband was lazy, we were broke, and we had four little kids. I managed to cook very nutritional food on a very meager income. We ate a lot...

    The Collapsing Healthcare System in the US

    Emergent replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    The fat acceptance movement is ultimately a negative one for health. I see obesity as a health issue, but many people see it as a vanity issue. I agree that people of all types should be loved and...

    I mostly agree with you. But, the behaviors described also are part of our general societal decline into entitlement and victimhood. And, there is a free will element. These people encounter the...

    I don't think this was attention seeking behavior. Lucy was very secretive in her morbid hobby. Someone who goes and shoots up a school is definitely engaging in a bizarre form of negative...
