  3. Person who has a seizure

    grannynurse FNP student replied to HappyJaxRN's topic in General Nursing

    I suffer a seizure disorder and take medication. Should I suffer one, in public, I hope someone has the good sense to call 911. If I do not want their help, I will let them know after they arrive....

  4. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming you posted in response to me. I was not putting the J label on her or any other spouse. Orthodox Jews and Muslims have well defined religious guidelines regarding modesty. There are...

  6. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    You apparently are unaware of the number of husbands and wives who do not expose themselves to one another. And you apparently are unaware of religious restrictions regarding nudity. And you...

  7. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I guess that respect for one's patient and his/her privacy is something that is no longer taught in nursing programs or as part of staff education. I really do not care about those of you who...

  8. A Dear Abbey letter. What is your take?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with you. I do not have a problem with a nurse opening my patient gown or exposing part of my anatomy. What I do have a problem with is her/him exposing me to either my own visitor...

  9. Bipolar-Needs your advice

    grannynurse FNP student replied to MidlifeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I too suffer from Bipolar Disorder and have since my early twenties. Your panic attacks or what you are describing are related to your anxiety of returning to the working world. You should discuss...

  10. Licensure in Florida after Excelsior

    grannynurse FNP student replied to resqyou35's topic in Florida Nursing

    There was an issue, back in the early 90s but it was soon put to rest. As far as I know, Florida still accepts Excelsior graduates. Grannynurse:balloons: Florida

  11. Dilema-need advice. Is Dr. misdiagnosing patients for financial gain?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Stray Kitty's topic in Cardiac

    Not necessarily. I reported a physician to Florida's Department of Professional Regulation, instead of th BOM. While they conducted an investigation, the day before her hearing, they reached a plea...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Stray Kitty's topic in Cardiac

  13. How to shower patients with mobility problems.

    grannynurse FNP student replied to *Karen*'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are various assistive devices that are utilized to bath patients with mobility problems. Ordinarily, a person's own wheelchair is not used. They are not meant for such use and will suffer...

  14. Will Military take an ADN/Diploma nurse with BSc. in another field?

    Sorry but current policy of the Army is you go in with an ADN, you go in as an E4 (active duty only).

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Emery's topic in General Nursing

    I have taken care of several deaf patients and have had to interact with several deaf members of families. I also would receive calls to go to other units.

  16. I'm sick to my eyeballs of incompetent agency nurses.

    grannynurse FNP student replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    I have been an agency nurse and have received assignments I have refused and have been blasted by the facility for my refusal. I do not work OB and peds. I haven't worked either since the early 70s....

  18. Treating residents/patients like idiots

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    You may think and treat your patients with respect despite calling them sweetie or hon. Have you ever asked them what they prefer? I seriously doubt that many would tell you they prefer to be...

  19. Lowest blood sugar...?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Mr.N8's topic in Emergency

    One of the lowest blood sugars I ever experienced was 20 and 23. My granddaughter called 911 and got me a high carb drink. By the time EMS got to my home, it had risen to 32. Unfortunately, I am an...

  20. Treating residents/patients like idiots

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Mirai Kangofu's topic in General Nursing

    I am a person. I am an indvidual. Anyone who addresses me as sweetie, hon or any other term of supposed endearment gets ignored by me. My name is on my chart and you get it during report, as well...

    grannynurse FNP student replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  22. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I consider myself a good, faithful practicing Catholic and a spiritual person. However I do not practice my religion at the bedside of any patient I have taken care of because I do not feel it is...

  23. Negative experience in the ER

    grannynurse FNP student replied to Sadie04's topic in Emergency

    I can only guess at why your brother was treated in the manner in which he was but there is really no excuse for his treatment. Regardless of why a patient is brought into an ER, he/she deserves to...

  24. I'm supposed to wear an "Ask me if I washed my hands!" button?!

    grannynurse FNP student replied to daisybaby's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm sorry, I have gotten the wrong impression of this board. I though it was a public message board and as long as one did not violate TOS, one could post what one wishs. I guess I was wrong....
