Thats exactly what I told the women that was discussing this with me!! Thanks!!

We just talked about her son not feeling well and that her older son just got over a virus that is contagious and all I said well he has a red throat, and she stated that he had a headache, so I said lets just be safe and pick him up and he can come back Monday.....His brother had Cocksakies (spelling)

ok I took this summer job thinking it would be a breeze. I am doing at a camp with another program located in the school and is a part of my school district. There where many issues, but I am concerned about one that just happened today. A child came in and was showing signs of a contagious virus that his brother was diagnosed with, so I called his mom and asked for her to come and get him. This child happen the be a family member of the head of the camp in which I barely have spoken to the whole time I have been there. This head is on the contact sheet, but only as part of the contact list if parent or gardian couldn't be reached. The head is now unhappy that I didn't contact them before contacting the mother and that she would have taken care of them. I couldn't believe I was getting a talk to about this. I said if I allowed you to take this child without the parent know no matter what your relationship is and you get into a car accident that can involve me, because I didn't notify them. I mean this is my first year and I dont't know anyone and I am just trying to make sure I follow what I think is correct. I mean I am i nuts or is this something I should be scolded for? To add a cherry this mother said that I said " how can I send her kid to school so sick" TOTAL LIE, he was not even really that bad, just a soar throat that consisted with this infection and I would never say that!

Thank God this is my first experience in the school system and i was like WHAT THE HECK!!

then dont lay down when u got it cause that could happen, lol there is not gravity when u lay down.........

I always enjoy having the answer ready before the question.....I can read a person as soon as I walk into the room......i make sure that i ask them what they need when i assess them at the start of my shift....and tell them the nurses aides name and that i will be on the floor and the aide will assist them with anything they need.......and if they are in pain just to let them know when they come in and i will be happy to give them relief, but try not to let the pain to get to severe, and estamate the next dosage for them, because i have several other patients that r in the same position they are and it may take me a couple of minutes to give them relief......let them know i am always available but to please be patient because i will be with other patients.......and if i do not address them with in a 15 min time span, unless emergency, just ring again and that i apologize for any discomfort this may cause

Well a person with alcohol addiction dose need something, like librium to help with the DT, i would have disagreed with the treatment ASAP....I would have called the DR. right away and have them deliever the bad news.....and contacted the charge nurse to have her colaborate.....those people are unpredictable.....

you have to look up compatability of any meds and this also goes with iv meds and iv lines also.

Its always nice to enjoy your job, but in the end these people don't define you as a nurse. you never tell them you will have someone else do it....you always chalk it up to medicine. Such as we get a better output count if we change it every 4 hours, its better regulated that way. Could you have done it right then, well sure u could have, why not. When u develope a relationship with a patient its better to keep a distance. People like that are looking to point out the littlest thing...she may have removed the tape just to point it out.
