    Was so impressed with my patient yesterday and not so impressed with the family

    casi replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I echo the concerns that the patient may not grasp what hospice is and can do for her. So many people see hospice as an imediate death sentence. From the way it sounds this woman is in end-stage CHF...

    Multiple wrist bands

    casi replied to cgSN2010's topic in General Nursing

    In my area several of the major hospital chains have agreed on a universal band program. It's horrific. One patient can have up to 6 bands on them. The limb restriction bands would be awesome, except...

    casi replied to pnlm_a's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like her taking you aside into her office and telling you what she saw you doing wrong was her informal way of giving you warnings. What were her exact reasons for failing you? Did she give...

    Funny Nursing Dreams

    casi replied to abbaking's topic in Nursing Humor

    I recently had a dream where I was putting a patient into a body bag. As I was zipping it up (the part of post-mortem care I always find kind of creepy) I felt someone touch my arm. Of coorifice I...

    casi replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I did a lot of NCLEX questions and reading through the answers. Med-Surg is about the disease, but it's also about how to respond as a nurse to a patient with the

    casi replied to ACNP 2B S1S2RRR's topic in General Nursing

    One thing you'll learn once your out of nursing school. You can't force people to do things they don't want to do. I could write a laundry list of some of my mother's health issues that she refuses to...

    which field of nursing is the most flexible?

    casi replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    My vote is for general med-surg. They get everything. Ortho full? Broken bones go to med-surg. OB full? Post-partum mom's and babies go to med-surg. Med-Surg nurses are the jacks of all

    casi replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing assistant's job is to observe and chart. Your job is to follow up and assess that. Not charting something because the nurse says not to is potentially getting the aides butt in trouble in the...

    Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    casi replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You can have either Sprite or Morphine to treat your 7/10 chest pain. Not both. Ugh, so sick of the patients coming in with CP that only seems to occur every four hours when their PRN pain medication...
