    The War On Fat

    nursel56 replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Andy - you have a good sense of humor! :) The best solution really is what some other countries have - "lift laws". We know we aren't supposed to take the risk to the patient and ourselves when we...

    The War On Fat

    nursel56 replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    Lifting obese people isn't a matter of whether or not one person can lift a person, but of inadequate staffing. You better have somebody tail the nurse out of the gym to make sure she doesn't stop...

    The War On Fat

    nursel56 replied to Crazed's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's because you have to be extremely motivated to go through the time and expense and inconvenience involved there, especially the raw foods approach. You also have to believe in unfounded...

    nursel56 replied to RN-4Ever's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Best wishes! And yeah, it's normal to get antsy when you can see the finish line in the distance.

    Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    nursel56 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm going to assume it wasn't you who saw the naked nurse scrambling for her clothes, and yet you know that's what happened. Most of you can't figure out what attracted her to him. What is it about...

    Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    nursel56 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    JadeLPN you forgot about the part that "CCU nurse" didn't think to try to open the door herself. lol! I guess that's why the directions to any troubleshooting guide say "make sure the device is...

    Sex in the workplace.....what do YOU think should be done?

    nursel56 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe the CCU nurse should be suspended for not knocking on the door with a sense of determination and needing a nursing supervisor to figure out the door was

    Does Lvn have to present during supervisory visits?

    nursel56 replied to HaveFaithRN's topic in Home Health

    In the companies I've worked for the supervisory visit was not "on the LVN" but on the client for purposes of recertification. They normally go through the chart and make sure sure the nurses as a...

    Is this normal???

    nursel56 replied to Hotfornursing's topic in Home Health

    It is not normal in my experience, but just recently someone else posted with the same issue. I don't believe it is good practice to give a med someone else drew up. If there is a limited amount of...

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    nursel56 replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    You don't like pinning. We get it. The architecture of your intellect soars way above ours. Let us grovel in the superstitious ooze and you be on your supercool

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    nursel56 replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    My problem isn't so much that they want to abolish the ceremonies, but that underlying attitude of many that actively seeks to distance the present-day profession from the history it is built upon,...

    Hi everyone :)

    nursel56 replied to MaryDeeLVN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm not sure exactly, but I hear it's just a day or two from friends who need to start work right away. We used to have to wait 6 weeks for our results, lol! I would suggest calling, but the last...

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    nursel56 replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    That attitude makes me sad, and I really hope it's not the norm among Deans of Nursing now. I realized last night my avatar and profile pic are from our pinning ceremony which also involved a candle...

    Abolishing the Pinning Ceremony

    nursel56 replied to drem7116's topic in General Nursing

    My pinning ceremony meant a lot to me. I think probably now more than it did, because "capping" has certainly gone the way of the dinosaurs along with white dress. Now that there are growing numbers...

    Silly random nursing thoughts, one sentence, NO JUDGMENTAL FOLKS ALLOWED

    Nah. My core belief that one thing should logically follow from another was broken over at SushiJoes's Place. :) But what the heck, let's toss one back for RANDOM!

    Could I get scabies by taking pt's blood sugar?

    nursel56 replied to treeye's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say the chances of you acquiring the mite while wearing gloves is slim to none. I hope you mean the diagnosis is pending. The symptoms of infection are very unpleasant, and in a confused pt...

    What I have learned to HATE about Nursing

    How do you feel about "don't get your knickers in a bunch over it"? :) I don't really care if the OP hates dumb order sets, I was just relating how I felt about the whole deal at the time. I think...
