    If we really going to continue this ******** and be this ******* pedantic about things, I actually said, "Enjoys IV morphine, Ambien, Ativan, and Norcos a little too

  2. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is it with you people? Someone asked why I was surprised by the responses I received here. I answered him/her and described the sort of answers I was expecting, and suddenly I'm uptight about...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Of course, all patients deserve compassion no matter what they are dealing with. The old dude laying in his own poop, the chick who needs her hair washed, the anxious old lady, the person in pain....

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    However altruistic and amazingly experienced nurses who don't swear you paint yourselves out be, you all now know something about this patient because of a quick sentence I threw out in the OP....

  5. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So what you are saying is that if I had indeed described a patient as someone who enjoys his baths a little too much, you, and many other nurses, would instantly know exactly what I was talking about...

  6. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was surprised to see a general consensus in favor of the guy smoking his weed and turning a blind eye. I was expecting far more responses along the lines of concern of overdosing the guy, as he is...

  7. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    More that it just helps paint a picture of the patient. A salacious stereotype? And I did this to influence my readers in order to have them "believe" me that he was smoking weed? You got me. Well...

    :) I'm almost there. I just like to try and educate where I can. I just have a hard time believing that people can miss a point so far. Actually, I

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I feel this is exactly the case here. I was a little upset at first, but I'm over it now. I try to see everything for all points of view. I just figured most people would too. But yes, I have always...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Honestly, I don't know the risks associated with the board of nursing, my license, and this particular issue. My first worry would be the facility's reaction. All I understand of the board of nursing...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Strange how it seems to be the most germane aspect of this thread, though....I don't think the fact that this occurred in an LTAC hospital to be particularly germane, but I included it in my OP....

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What does this mean? What do you mean by slamming dilaudid? I'd be grateful if you could, with all these years of experience you have and wonderful writing technique, describe what you mean exactly...

  14. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I just included it under the heading "what I know about the patient." I threw a few things in there. I left some things out. I really don't think it was a crime. If someone could paint me the ideal...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There should be a sticky or some rule in this forum that if you intend to post here and mention a patient, please first give a thorough report on the patient, keep every single detail objective, as no...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is honestly more the kind of response I was expecting to receive from this forum. And quite honestly, I am surprised that you have not been jumped yet in this thread for stating that you would...

  17. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, I answered this in haste last night, partly due to frustration and feeling like I had to defend myself. The fear I had was say this guy gets caught smoking a joint (outside the facility) or...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    There is no fear on my part. I trust my own judgement in situations such as this. I merely posted to ask if anyone else (anonymously, as I cannot bring this up to anyone I work with for obvious...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The guy was rolling a joint. He smokes weed outside the facility. I am totally cool with that fact. I'm not going to state this again. If someone is unable to read and understand what I have posted...

    Thank god. I thought I was going crazy.

  21. Walked in on a pt rolling a joint

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Lastly, I don't feel it necessary to post the incidents that lead me to the "likes his meds a little too much" statement, as I figured most seasoned nurses would know what I was talking about. Again,...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Like I stated, if the guy was slamming vodka, sure I'd have approached pushing IV narcs a little differently and expressed why to the patient. I do feel my OP was misunderstood. I only shared that...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Like I said, if the guy was slamming vodka, I'd be approaching pushing a bunch of IV narcs on the guy a little differently. I don't need to be banging on his chest while explaining to the house doc...

    Anonymous666 replied to Anonymous666's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I would rather not and did not. The reason I responded the way in which I did was to protect myself as well as him. I let him know I knew what he was doing and then discussed legalization with him. It...
