    Opposite Sex Coworker Social Boundaries

    Emergent replied to cyc0sys's topic in General Nursing

    I've made it through my entire career without having a barbecue or dinner party for coworkers. Frankly, without anyone other than unaccompanied coworkers, your wife, at the very least may feel left...

    Nasty/aggressive patients

    Emergent replied to Kugrad2018's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe her husband just died or her boyfriend is cheating on her. Your little conversation with your loving husband pushed her over the edge and made her lash out. I have a coworker, with whom I...

    Nasty/aggressive patients

    Emergent replied to Kugrad2018's topic in General Nursing

    I'm trying to conjure up the scenario you described. A Powerball is a lottery ticket, correct? The person in question was irritated because you were on the phone? How loud were you talking? It...

    Best/worse experience in monitoring. Please advise

    Emergent replied to HoldenC's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'm not a participant in a program, but have lurked here for some time. The one size fits all aspect of the programs is ridiculous. Someone takes her sister's Vicodin for a headache is treated the...

    "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Somehow, "an 8 or a 9" is entirely different than "8 1/2". I get not wanting to commit to a stupid number. But giving fractions is a little overly

    The life or death squatty potty

    Emergent replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    In the ER where I work, there is a stool in each room. An ICU should be similarly prepared for an emergency. Maybe you can advocate for

    Can a nurse work with marijuana?

    I work with a nurse who is part owner of a pot farm. It's legal in my state. She claims she doesn't

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Emergent posted a topic in General Nursing

    I had a woman come in for abdominal pain the other day. She accompanied by a husband and 3 small children. I walked into the room after reading the triage note in the computer. There she was, a woman...

    Help! Do you think this is a HIPAA violation??????

    Emergent replied to nursingstudentlex's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Why not approach her directly and tell her that you think her filming this resident might get her in trouble, and she ought to take it down

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Emergent replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I went to visit my son and his family. I had told him the story of the hot Cheetos last. Look what was waiting for me in the guestroom when I arrived! (upload a photo of the flaming hot Cheetos bag...

    CNAs and HUCs should be paid more!

    I saw on the news, Amazon is instituting a minimal wage of $15 per hour. I think that's great. The founder of Amazon is one of the richest people in the world. He started a successful and useful...

    Unfortunate Camp Nursing Experience

    Emergent replied to lenochka14's topic in Camp

    I had a horrible experience at a Catholic camp in Western Washington. Toxic leadership bordering on scary. No supplies, such as sheet changes in between patients, or any other way of sanitizing the...

    New Nurse, morality question.

    Emergent replied to car48's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I work in an ER. Our custom is to stay and actually witness the waste. It's slipshod to not take the 5 extra seconds to do that. Giving out passwords? That is beyond the pale, imo. I don't think you...

    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    Emergent replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    I don't care about my patient's opinions, they mean nothing to me. They are all a part of the parade of humanity that is one of the interesting parts of the job. Who needs reality TV when you can get...
