  1. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The doctor ( a woman btw ) is responsible if your baby dies and doesn't do the proper screenings and the death could have been prevented. Who is going to protect her? Not the patient. Not the mother....

  2. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Klone, what is the big deal if you have nothing to hide. You came in with an abruptio placenta. You know drugs could be a reason… the baby is stressed… there are a lot of unanswered questions…...

  4. It's Wrong! (A night shift perspective)

    Thimbalina replied to Sixtyseven's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    If she didn't have dementia when she got there she would have it from sleep deprivation. Poor

  5. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Thimbalina replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OH! Right. Maslows Heirachry. If Maslow says we NEED it then it must be ok in the hospital and on telemetry. Gosh, thanks so much for pointing that out. Maybe the doctors should start prescribing sex...

  6. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can you please explain why it's 'paternalistic' to check a drug screen?

  7. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Thimbalina replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    'knock, knock knock… you're ok right? cuz the monitor says you're flat lining… please answer if you're dead and I'll come in and resuscitate you.

  8. Pt having a "friend" over for "special nursing care"

    Thimbalina replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm starting to think there are people here who are not nurses… comparing a patient on telemetry to apartment living. ? Not the same thing AT ALL. And PDA (public displays of affection) are NOT the...

  9. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    What's 'funny' is equating getting a drug screen on someone with putting your hand in their lady parts without consent, or sabotaging breast feeding. Throwing around 'paternalistic' to any laws you...

  10. Where/how to store emergency meds

    Thimbalina replied to blisssyl's topic in School

    You could screw the boxes to the walls for

  11. Where/how to store emergency meds

    Thimbalina replied to blisssyl's topic in School

    What about putting them in tool boxes with locks that all have the same combination so everyone knows it and can access it when needed… put the tool boxes in the

  12. Going "Above and Beyond" UGH

    Thimbalina replied to SubSippi's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was a patient 6 1/2 yrs ago… removed a meningioma from my head (between the hemispheres L parietal about the size of a super ball small but still BRAIN SURGERY and scary as hell for an old ICU...

  13. Drama...drama....drama....

    Thimbalina replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    haha! Too funny. When I think of drama I think of: co worker goes into severe anaphylaxis requiring intubation in the ER after someone puts sea food in the microwave… or homeless man locks himself...

  14. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well apparently the law thinks it is NOT battery and the needs of the baby are outweighed by the needs of a druggy mom. Some people should not be reproducing. If a mom wants to do drugs while pregnant...

  15. Tell me about your first pt to code...

    Thimbalina replied to MrsICURN14's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    My first 'code' which wasn't really a code because he was a 'no code', so I guess you could say my first death... was a guy on tele who I got up to go to the bathroom... he valsava'd himself into...

  16. Awesome new development at our corrections facility

    Thimbalina replied to Two Sheds's topic in Correctional

    Wow. The lack of empathy for fellow nurses is astounding. I for one feel this is NOT a victimless crime because no nurse should have to put up with inmates exposing themselves on purpose day in and...

  17. Taking pictures on nurses without permission

    Thimbalina replied to ninjago's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    well, that is fine but I think they should have asked my permission. It felt uncomfortable to realize that I was being videotaped mid discharge. I would have combed my hair and put on

  18. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    How can you really think it is battery to take a test for the sake of an innocent baby who has no control over what the mother put into her system which could potentially affect her/him for the rest...

  19. The best excuses for positive drug screens

    Thimbalina replied to rnaturcervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    all little girls 11 yrs and older get a pregnancy test if they need abdominal X-rays or if they have abdominal pain. No consent. Sad but it is reality. (I know, off topic but same general idea re...

  20. Atheism in nursing

    Thimbalina replied to pugmom79's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    My dad was chronically ill. I grew up with him about to die any minute. He was frequently hospitalized and when ever he was the religiosity grew thick… he preached to anyone and everyone who walked...

  21. POA/HIPAA violation

    Thimbalina replied to Caelynn's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yes, no one, not even the patient can just go and open up a chart and read it unless you are providing care. You have to have a good reason to be in the chart even if you work there. You have to go...

  22. Orientation and other new school nurse questions!

    Thimbalina replied to CampNurse10's topic in School

    oy! I was invited to an 'orientation' and was the only RN. There were a few LVN's so the orientation was directed more at them… I'm told I will be helping with vision and hearing tests. Altogether...

  23. Taking pictures on nurses without permission

    Thimbalina replied to ninjago's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I've had patients family video me while going over discharge instructions. It is un-nerving. I asked them to stop and they did but it made me feel very uncomfortable. Sometimes it's hard to tell if...

  24. RN's - how long did you stay at your first job?

    Thimbalina replied to sunshyne17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    a year and a half while I finished my BSN. It was a good job and I didn't appreciate it like I should have. I quit to move 'home' but no hospital I have ever worked at was as good as that one. However...

  25. Question about "stories"

    Thimbalina replied to beccaboo617101's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I'm not planning on nor have I ever done it but I was wondering after reading this discussion… if your Facebook is set to 'friends only' how would the whole world read it and how would the hospital...
