  1. Chaperone or not during exam

    Gabie Baby replied to masstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The whole point of a chaperone for male doctors was, I thought, to protect the doctor from unfounded accusations that he did something untoward to the patient. I never thought and never was taught...

  2. Hourly Rate For LPNS

    Gabie Baby replied to thundercat LPN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You are seriously underpaid. Not sure why your cheapskate boss is insulting you like that but you should seriously consider getting out. Unless you love your job, with a capital "L", and don't...

  3. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    She apparently needed to go to the Director. Maybe to the Chief of Medical Staff,

  4. Nursing administration forcing us to take too many patients

    Gabie Baby replied to gtmoore's topic in General Nursing

    What if she's been there long enough to be close to earning a pension and isn't so young any more and doesn't want to have to start over somewhere that might turn out to be as bad or worse? I do agree...

  5. Epidural placement as a "spectator sport"

    Gabie Baby replied to Suebee6's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The bathroom query, of course, would have been out of line. Why did you let him make YOU feel like crap? You should have told him to talk to the doctor about it and let him know you understood his...

  6. Tips on getting people to come to staff meetings

    Gabie Baby replied to asilmk's topic in General Nursing

    Tie their raise to their staff meeting attendance record. Don't expect them to come in on their day off more than once per year or so. People need their days off. How often are you having them?...

  7. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    Next time, be so kind as to tell the whole story in the first place. Also, I still say you did not complain to the right people. If you had, they'd have rectified the trouble and not forced you out....

  8. I have really messed up.

    Gabie Baby replied to Heather A.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm delighted it went so well for you,

  9. I have really messed up.

    Gabie Baby replied to Heather A.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    So this is God's fault? To the OP: Do you feel

  10. I have really messed up.

    Gabie Baby replied to Heather A.'s topic in Ob/Gyn

    You are still new, you panicked, you ultimately did the right thing. 2 things - NEVER VOLUNTEER. If someone asks you to help and you can reasonably do it, ok. But NEVER VOLUNTEER. I'm very...

  11. Babies cut during c-sections?

    Gabie Baby replied to rbytsdy's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If you don't like screaming babies, forget working with them at all. That's what babies do when stuck for blood tests, when hungry, cold, hot, wet, whatever. They scream. And thank God they do. I...

  12. Nursing Job Satisfaction. Would like your input for school project.

    Gabie Baby replied to Hoping LVN2BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you do a thread on your

  13. Newbie, OB or M/S???

    Gabie Baby replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do not think MS is really required if you are going to go for OB, which it sounds like is what you truly want to do. MS is such a burnout field any more and I would hate to see you, as enthused as...

  14. Newbie, OB or M/S???

    Gabie Baby replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I do not think MS is really required if you are going to go for OB, which it sounds like is what you truly want to do. MS is such a burnout field any more and I would hate to see you, as enthused as...

  15. ANOTHER new CMS guideline

    Gabie Baby replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in LTC: Directors, Assistant

    So how is long term care any different from acute in these

  16. Male Nurses/female Patients

    Gabie Baby replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    I think males should care for males and females for either gender whenever possible. I definitely think we should chaperone any colleague who requests it or do a little horsetrading when necessary....

  17. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    She's scared, as she is a traveler. Nevertheless, she has a legal obligation to be a pt advocate and she is shirking it. I know it's not easy to be an advocate. Advocates often get trouble for...

  18. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    This is a totally different situation than the OP

  19. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    They have not been complaining for years to the right people. One call to HR, one call to the Prez of her institution or to the Med Dir and it SHOULD all be history. And if her pt has a need, I think...

  20. Giving pain meds.

  21. RANT!! He left a dirty needle on my table!

    Gabie Baby replied to nursejohio's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Go personally and privately to talk with the offender and let him know that you need him to at least tell you about any sharps if he can't discard them safely. Be calm and professional and maybe throw...

  22. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    You need to make this problem known RIGHT NOW to the DON, HR, the accrediting body, and the state agency that licenses these nurses and CNA's. This is patient abandonment. I would not trouble...

  23. Sleeping on the job..acceptable or not?

    Gabie Baby replied to travelnurse63's topic in General Nursing

    Dorimar, you and the other staff are to blame for not complaining to the proper people, also because you leave your own work to go do hers. This person has nearly killed many patients, she has been...

  24. Threat of needle sticks!!

    Gabie Baby replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

  25. Threat of needle sticks!!

    Gabie Baby replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    It's just for us, Sweetie. Go to Med School. You'll make a whole lot more bucks and be a whole lot happier. And spare your potential future pts hours of lying around dirty, waiting for you to clean...
