    When Your LPNs & PCAs Take Over

    nursel56 replied to nursingforlife24's topic in General Nursing

    Probably an amateur. Too much bait in one post . We didn't even get to the union-related offensive stereotype. I understand you meant the libtard as in what the OP supposed we are, the

    When Your LPNs & PCAs Take Over

    nursel56 replied to nursingforlife24's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, that job sounds like it's really not a good fit for you. But your implication that the cause of the behaviors on your list is successfully completing a welfare-to-work program and entering the...

    Possible reactions from your patients if suggested alternative pain relief

    nursel56 replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key is to look at that person in those circumstances, and proceed from there. Non- pharmaceutical strategies are always better in the longterm, but I have read so many accounts of the way...

    Second Week of Clinicals, Not Going Well

    nursel56 replied to nar_olepsy's topic in General Students

    Dealing with anxiety was a major issue for me early on. I was actually deemed to have given an unsatisfactory Harris Flush because as I later learned, was not technique but "you were scared to death"...

    Thank You Notes to Patients?

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

    Calling to follow up on the efficacy of the treatment plan is fine, and when the doc I saw at a local urgent care center did so I appreciated it very much. In a clinic or office, it may be part of a...

    Hyperhydrosis

    nursel56 replied to shecared22's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry your instructor embarrassed you in front of your classmates. I don't agree with her comment that maybe nursing is not for you because you have hyperhidrosis of the hands. I don't...

    Is this legal?

    nursel56 replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The anti-vax crowd ("true believers") cannot be persuaded, so it's important to stay calm and have all the facts, for people who are undecided, as well as explaining the methods of valid and...

    Do you feel more people are entering nursing only to become APRN's?

    nursel56 replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in General Nursing

    This is true, and to encourage academic progress in nursing, or any profession is a good thing. Although I feel as someone in this or perhaps a similar thread recently mentioned there seems to be a...

    Is this legal?

    nursel56 replied to jessimee's topic in General Nursing

    I think the problems, if they occur most likely will be from her abrasive approach. I can't see how the neighborhood best practice discourse is enhanced by engaging in a personal

    Why are nurses disrespected so much?

    nursel56 replied to fitfabfunnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    What did they have you doing on your first week of clinicals? Just curious because your description of your clinical site sounds so medieval. Did you share your concerns with your instructor or at...

    Is 26,800 too much for an LVN program in California?

    nursel56 replied to Peridot95's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Peridot! Based on what colleagues have shared with me, and a quick check of the old messages here mentioning tuition, $26,800 is well in the average even looking back a few years. Based on your...

    I'm having doubts about nursing... :(

    nursel56 replied to Texasstudent0's topic in General Students

    If someone feels member(s) are engaging in personal attacks, or any other TOS violation, they're actually encouraged to report the post via the button towards the bottom. It's a yellow triangle with...

    Yes, I know. I have encountered that behavior, but not all of it in the same person It was was actually a brief moment of exaggeration on my part after reading a post that contained several of the...

    Spouses being asked to leave the room

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

    I'm so sorry you went through that experience. Please don't feel bad about talking to someone about what happened. You need to be with him, and if you feel you are not being understood, or the nurse...

    Seniority

    nursel56 replied to lexyrn71's topic in General Nursing

    Warning: not entirely serious stereotyping paragraph ahead: I'm fine with younger managers. Just not the ones who snap their gum, flip their hair, gossip, check their Facebook every two seconds, tell...

    It's not my job to pray with you.

    nursel56 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I was responding to KIMMIEKAYS post. The post below doesn't sound intolerant to me. Although I wouldn't join in the specific prayers said aloud I have many times stood with families as they

    Seniority

    nursel56 replied to lexyrn71's topic in General Nursing

    The entire process is a peer interview? That sounds like a recipe for disaster. On the broader question, seniority in the absence of any other qualifications doesn't make for a cohesive team either,...

    Time to remove the "nurse" in APN?

    nursel56 replied to Jedrnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your perspective from the instructor's point of view. I found it very thought provoking, so I will share some of that, but it isn't intended as criticism at all. I'm not going to weigh in...

    Are the elderly just happy to see a white guy?

    nursel56 replied to kfostercma's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    You seem like a cool guy, and possibly not even white (the anonymouse internet and all that) but seriously, I'm really not seeing any relevance to the race issue in your narrative at all. I've never...

    Coworker and Patient Harm (Title edited)

    nursel56 replied to Msmedic68w's topic in General Nursing

    My coworker gave a child 10x the indicated dose of epinephrine. Baby recovered, but I'll never forget the look of panic on his (the nurse) face during the incident. He wasn't terminated. Whatever else...

    Why do We eat our young?

    nursel56 replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is a real experience. It does a disservice to those who are experiencing the real experience to have it lost in the shuffle or trivialized by comparing it to what is often labeled bullying these...
