  1. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Disagreement is the correct word. Thanks

  2. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it's subjective. I just also find that people know how they want to be treated by others so why is it so much to ask for the same in

  3. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree with you. What I am saying is that there is no reason to be hateful. As far as integrity goes, is it ok to for anyone to speak down to or hatefully to others because of a...

  6. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Integrity is doing the right thing when no one is watching. An example is how you treat people in your everyday encounters. I strongly feel like this very much applies to the topic of

  7. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    As a person (not just a nurse) My morals tell me that I should treat others with respect. But that's my morals and I understand that others do not share the same morals. It's all

  8. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    That is one way to view it, but here is where integrity comes into play.I will agree to disagree and we will just leave it at

  9. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    Might I add, some know they should be more professional and choose not to. I realize I am not in agreeance with many here, but I will not try to justify thay kind of treatment to

  10. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that it is subjective. But we as nursed should be able to be professional to each other and if we don't know how to do that then there is a

  11. You will all probably hate me for this

    missnurse89 replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    People should still use common courtesy and politeness. There is no excuse for rudeness (which includes any posts via social media). I understand that people want to justify being rude to certain...

  12. Phlebotomy/tourniquet help

    missnurse89 replied to dizzymisslizzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A great tip that I leaned as a home health nurse: use a BP cuff instead of a tourniquet for elderly and obese patients. It makes a wonderful difference for those situations. It helps to reduce skin...

  13. East-Aisan Breastfeeding Practices

    missnurse89 replied to nursekate8's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The Hispanic population in our community seems to supplement no matter what and also until their milk "comes in." I really despise that phrase... BF is very cultural and in my experience the most...

    missnurse89 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am trying to figure the best way to go about becoming IBCLC and looking at different pathways. Are there any nurses here who have obtained their IBCLC and what experienced along the way help you the...

  15. One nurse for three busy providers. This can't be safe, right?

    missnurse89 replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    It does help when they are on the computer. I can only speak from the office I was in and even through we were computer charting we had so many patients a day and so many different types of visits...

  16. Meds

    missnurse89 replied to Creak Freak's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It does vary by facility but also this is where your nursing judgment comes into play. There is never a black or white answer. If the BP or HR was lower but still in parameters but patient is now SOB...

  17. afraid of being stuck by a needle

    missnurse89 replied to treeye's topic in Patient Education

    I have had patients who were told they were "hard sticks" and they turn out to be the easiest stick. It varies day to day. Sometimes you just have personnel who are having an off day or require more...

    missnurse89 replied to jessnelson719's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    And also try doing a quiz over the nursing process and that should help direct you to any questions you may

  19. Nursing process questions?

    missnurse89 replied to jessnelson719's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    A good one that a lot of people get caught up on is distinguishing between nursing diagnosis and medical diagnosis. Other than that, if you know it than you know it as long as you can apply

  20. Nursing process questions?

    missnurse89 replied to jessnelson719's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I mean really if you have learned what ADPIE is than you just have to apply topics and diseases to the nursing process to be able to utilize and understand it because it's thinking in

  21. Nursing process questions?

    missnurse89 replied to jessnelson719's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    missnurse89 replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, everyone has there own opinion and different things work for different people. Hopefully these suggestions will point you in the right direction.

  23. afraid of being stuck by a needle

    missnurse89 replied to treeye's topic in Patient Education

    missnurse89 replied to LTCNS's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  25. Providing Emergency Care to non-patient

    missnurse89 replied to augustwest's topic in General Nursing

    Also read up on The Good Samaritan law in your state. It may protect you from any kind of negative aftermath. Technically it wasn't a "checked in" patient so you may have coverage under that law. In...
