    Never chart this

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I just have to say, this thread has been a breath of fresh air and full of so many LOLs. Ahhh, I needed the good belly laughs. Thanks

    Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    Something similar happened in a facility I work in. A supplier landed a contract with the hospital vendors to sell these chocolate bars that were marketed as the candy form of RedBull. I was irked by...

    Would it be Wrong?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to kellylauren's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @kellylauren This type of scenario you are describing is considered professional misconduct; a Nurse can lose their license as this falls withing the broad category of "abuse" by regulators. For me,...

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to superarn86's topic in General Nursing

    THIS! Seriously! To the OP: Regional nursing communities are small, people communicate with each other and will never forget if you're flaky or unreliable. I had a coworker who was known to ask for...

    Ok, ok, ok. Professionalism aside, we've all thought this at one point in our careers about a patient or two, but the fact that someone actually charted this...:roflmao: This made me laugh so hard my...

    Work stress: where do you find support?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    Aww, he sounds like a gem! I'm glad you have that support in your life

    Controversial Patient Odors in Nursing

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    The only smells I find to be a true challenge to work through are: decaying/rotting flesh (stays in your olfactory/gustatory system for days like formaldehyde but smells/tastes distinctly worse) and...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    How much death do you see/ have you seen on the job?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    That would break my heart to see that everyday, too. I think it's amazing that you were able to do that and make a

    How much death do you see/ have you seen on the job?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's sadly not always true. Palliative care doesn't always = quality of life. Or at least that is what I saw in adult & geriatric palliative care. The hardest for me were the patients with ALS,...

    would you take a job with a mean doctor?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to mmccool719's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It depends, if she's just rude you could just ignore her comments... let 'em go in one ear and out the other. But if her behaviors or attitude will interfere with you being able to perform your job...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I find that reality to be sad and disturbing. Perhaps the lack of knowledge is a reflection of neglect or conservative upbringing (parents never taught them), or culture (their background instills...

    There's an episode of Orange is the New Black that covers this topic hilariously. The episode in question is called "A Whole Other

    How much death do you see/ have you seen on the job?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in General Nursing

    Death is a part of the life cycle. It's inevitable and I accept it. I find the overall experience (of taking take of actively dying patients and their mourning families) to be draining in a way that...

    RT says her scope is wider than mine. Ok?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CardiacDork's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It never fails to amuse/annoy me how much a pi$$ing contest gets in the way of things, and stirs things up for no good reason. Urgh. I don't understand why it's always seen as necessary to someone to...

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    When your ex or their mistress/lover is the patient?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @chacha82 Your comments are not productive, nor do they make any sense given the context... Where/when did I say I wanted any part of this assignment? If you've read through the thread, I already...

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    @Horseshoe You should read the thread properly. If you did, you'd know that this is an issue of stalking. I have no intention of caring for anyone in an unprofessional/unethical context.... and in...

    When your ex or their mistress/lover is the patient?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to CaffeinePOQ4HPRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Here's the thing about your strategy though... The college of nurses's registry is public. It is also readily accessible to anyone who wants to search for you. So, even if a nurse moved or changed...

    Does anyone still teach percussion in assessment?

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to SHGR's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I was taught percussion in nursing school. Percussion was considered a basic skill that we were expected to master along with other head-to-toe physical assessment skills. Such as, for example,...

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    CaffeinePOQ4HPRN replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A Physician Assistant is NOT a doctor. The PA curriculum is an undergraduate degree program -- all NP programs are graduate programs (Masters/PhD). This PA is full of ****. He is an assistant and his...
