  1. Bisacodyl and C-Diff??

    annie.rn replied to annie.rn's topic in Gastroenterology

    Sorry for the delayed reply. My phone broke so I haven't been on here in a while. I am just today seeing this. I really appreciate you asking the GI doc you work with. I couldn't figure it out either....

  2. Bisacodyl and C-Diff??

    annie.rn posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    Question for the GI nurses out there. I've researched this and can't find an answer. I took care of a pt. recently w/ recurrent c-diff (3 hospitalizations and 3 fecal transplants plus rectal tube w/...

  3. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    annie.rn replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree with this. I worked home hospice and my immediate supervisor had very little clinical experience. (She had only worked at managing her husband's medical practice) It made it...

  4. Pt.s Ordering Food from Outside Hospital?

    annie.rn posted a topic in General Nursing

    Are patients allowed to order food from outside places and have it delivered to their rooms if they are on anything but a regular diet? Right now we have a morbidly obese pt. who is a raging...

  5. 16 Ice creams

    annie.rn replied to Birdy2's topic in General Nursing

    Your post is so familiar. We have a few frequent fliers like that on my med/surg unit and they are oh so frustrating. I am amazed at how well you handled the situation while also having your own...

  6. Nursing Communication Project

    annie.rn replied to kazooe9's topic in General Nursing

    ThIs line is part of our hospital's scripting, too. I have trouble getting myself to say it much because most often I'm not sure if I WILL have the time (or I flat out don't) and I don't want to set...

  10. so many falls!

    annie.rn replied to qcnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    My comment wasn't directed toward you at all. I hope you didn't think it was. It's obvious you care or you wouldn't have been asking for help

  11. so many falls!

    annie.rn replied to qcnursingstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Dementia is not funny. Of course, I don't know you, so I apologize in advance for my perceptions. The way you refer to the residents you work with is hateful. I understand that working LTC is...

  16. Pt.s Ordering Food from Outside Hospital?

    annie.rn replied to annie.rn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies so far. I agree about not being able to change habits during a few days of hospitalization and I usually don't sweat the diet stuff too much but these two cases annoyed me...

  17. Ethics: Brain bleed sign out AMA

    annie.rn replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

    You can't make up lies to convince people to do things. And I'm assuming it's a lie b/c I've never heard of such a deposit. In your first scenario: I hope the nurse was certified as a medical...

    annie.rn replied to Kbig2's topic in General Nursing

    Knew a nurse who actually did that. Had "DNR" tattooed over his heart and had a personalized tag on his motorcycle that said "IM

  19. Any good patient prank stories?!

    annie.rn replied to peterlecompte's topic in General Nursing

    This was hilarious! I would have had a blast creating that furry pt. When in the military, I worked with a lot of young, mostly male med techs. If pranking were an Olympic sport, they'd be on the...

    annie.rn replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My sister's name begins with an L. One time after a rather interestingly shaped BM, her boyfriend brought her into the BR and showed it to her, saying "Look! I love you so much I pooped an 'L' for...

    annie.rn replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    If you mean demented, yes. Dementia, no. He was sharp as a tack. Drove, played racquet ball three times a week and was probably more physically fit than I am. He had a need to control everything....

  22. What are some of the most ridiculous requests you have heard?

    annie.rn replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    When working hospice I dealt with a very difficult husband. He was a retired high ranking military pilot and used to bossing people around and getting what he wanted. His wife had cancer but was no...
