  1. The patient's family members

    Gabie Baby replied to Foxfour's topic in General Nursing

    There is no reason nurses should swallow abuse. Doctors don't, no other profession we work with expects to have to do so. Why should nurses? I say we should

  2. Domestic Violence Survivor.

  3. Another "OMG i can't believe you did that!" family member story

    Gabie Baby replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, OP, for clarifying. This topic certainly is a big one. I guess I had no idea so many nurses had to deal with all of this. Maybe it was better in the days before all of this visiting was...

  4. Another "OMG i can't believe you did that!" family member story

    Gabie Baby replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    How about the people who drive around blasting their "music", which contains so much profanity and hate language? That should absolutely be against the

  5. So How Was YOUR Week?? (Rant!)

    Gabie Baby replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry you had all this going on, Marla, but I love your

  6. Another "OMG i can't believe you did that!" family member story

    Gabie Baby replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more and was wondering why the original poster didn't offer these solutions to the person she was dealing with. I agree about "HIPPY" and total strangers hearing the pt's business....

  7. claiming to be what she isn't

    Gabie Baby replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    So the answer is she's either a sociopath, doesn't know the difference or doesn't think about it, or has low self-esteem. I kind of agree with Angio O'Plasty that she needs to be made aware that...

  8. Just started a new job it is not going to work out with family.

    Gabie Baby replied to southernlpnmom's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure why you feel so badly about it. Things changed. Things often do. Just think some peaceful thoughts, settle your heart and mind by focusing on a scene that you like - a meadow, a beach,...

  9. NOW does the public understand?

    Gabie Baby replied to FroggysMom's topic in General Nursing

    And nurses are NOT expected to be perfect? And nurses DON'T get hit with

  10. NOW does the public understand?

    Gabie Baby replied to FroggysMom's topic in General Nursing

    Med students are among the worst offenders. They're often wonderful and sweet but are sometimes so damned arrogant. Unfortunately, they don't know their butts from a hole in the ground yet. I asked...

  11. NOW does the public understand?

    Gabie Baby replied to FroggysMom's topic in General Nursing

    You look them straight in the eye, breathe, you take them by the shirt collar, and you tell them that, by God, they had better never treat you like that ever again, the longest day they live, if they...

  12. NOW does the public understand?

    Gabie Baby replied to FroggysMom's topic in General Nursing

    It's part of The member Principle. It comes from centuries of women being a man's property (chattel) and being subject to severe punishment (divorce, physical retribution, ostracism by other women...

  14. You're Discharged....GET OUT NOW!

    Gabie Baby replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I got chewed out by the nurse manager once for not getting a bed emptied out stat. I explained that the pt had to wait til her husband got off work and came for her, which would be about 9. But we...

  15. I knew it wasn't right while I was doing it...

    Gabie Baby replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    But you did call the doctor back and get the order yourself, right? And then you wrote the order, right? And the doctor has co-signed it, right? That way, you're covered. And I know you will never...

  16. Silent birth? Anyone see one?

    Gabie Baby replied to Sis123's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Some years ago, there was a doctor who advocated a setting for birth that used dim lighting and very quiet surroundings. He advocated placing the baby on mom's belly at first and letting the baby...

  17. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Gabie Baby replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    What did they do for

  18. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Gabie Baby replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    A lot of people without cars (welfare queens and kings) use ambulances whenever they don't want to or "can't" wait for a bus. It's just a way of life. And they don't ever have to pay for the...

  19. Why Can't Hospitals Offer Shifts Other Than 12 hr. 7 to 7?

    Gabie Baby replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

  20. Pet peeves!

    Gabie Baby replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    Try to remember, Dear, they don't want to have to be there any more than you do. I agree about the laziness of some staff and the lack of mouth care. Keep up your good

  21. Pet peeves!

    Gabie Baby replied to ADN 2002's topic in General Nursing

    I thought you were nice, being a cat person and all. People aren't necessarily dumb, they're just not all

  22. Need advice...life threatened by pt's family today

    Gabie Baby replied to SotaRN's topic in General Nursing

    It is not illegal to carry revealed.

  23. Need advice...life threatened by pt's family today

    Gabie Baby replied to SotaRN's topic in General Nursing

    What is an FA? I think you absolutely should never again take care of this person's relative. Ever. It makes no sense at all to put yourself in jeopardy. You probably should transfer, at least...
