  1. Words You Hate

    Dany102 replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in General Nursing

    What's wrong with the word smegma?!? It seems to me to just roll of the tongue when you say it... All together now... "Ssssmeg-maaaah" But all punditry aside, one word that always made me...

  2. The Puberty Talk

    Dany102 replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    No, I have not. But now, I'm curious...

  3. Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    Dany102 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Farawyn, Ah... Yes... That make sense. Thank you for edjumacating me, Ma'am. (I get it now... Read, think, THEN reply. )

  4. Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    Dany102 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Hello OldDude, No, alas, I do not have any kids of my own. Fate has seen fit to doom me to the lowly role of benevolent uncle (and I make a darn good one too!). (Please don't hold it against me )...

  5. Parents who can't/won't pick up kids

    Dany102 replied to mc3's topic in School

    Not that I insist on playing devil's advocate but I couldn't help to wonder how do you handle cases when a parent actually can't come to pick up their child? Suppose this is a single parent...

  6. The Puberty Talk

    Dany102 replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    OhMyGAWD!!

  7. The Puberty Talk

    Dany102 replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    I have always felt amused and, at times, dismayed at how much some people can work themselves to a near frenzy when considering having to approach sexual health and imparting knowledge to younger...

  8. Question regarding where I stand with my job (long, but with paragraphs!)

    Dany102 replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in General Nursing

    I will be the first one to admit I do not have much experience yet but I can't help to feel this receptionist was in the wrong. And, to be honest, "wrong" here is to be taken as a euphemism. What I...

  9. Not having kids until 35

    Dany102 replied to waiting4ivpush's topic in General Nursing

    I think this question has been discussed, debated and argued to death already My only advice would be to consider the difference in age between yourself and your kid(s) as they grow up. Your job, as...

  10. Meeting patient the day before clinical

    Dany102 replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    I am glad someone mentioned patients' preferences before I got to it. And while, for most situation, it will not be a huge issue, it's always something to keep in mind.

  11. My "ah ha" moment

    Dany102 replied to Ebourne1's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome, Ebourne1, to human, and compassionate care. I hope this epiphany (I hope you will not begrudge me the use of the word) will lead you to more empathy. Patients are not illness or condition....

  12. A coworker made me so mad!

    Dany102 replied to typoagain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with this. First establish a report, build trust, and work from there. Time is your ally here. But above all, show compassionate care. Understanding phobias, and knowing how to deal with a...

  13. A coworker made me so mad!

    Dany102 replied to typoagain's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was trying to figure out the best way to express my thoughts on this and, honestly, I think blondy2016h hit it right on the head. It seems to me that many who replied to the original poster have...

  14. Calling a transgender patient an "it"

    Dany102 replied to Angeljho's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think some people have their head so far up their err.. Other end, that they do not see how harmful their words can be for other people. To me, this point to a complete lack of respect and empathy....

  15. Being Nurse Ratched

    Dany102 replied to proud nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello proud nurse, I think for most people who aren't working in the medical/health world, the label "nurse Ratched" is based on their perceptions. I can see why someone would earn that...

  16. Foot in mouth, now a social pariah

    Dany102 replied to arack05's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hello arack05, Like middleagednurse and Farawyn said, I think it is time you confronted these 2 people. Not to pick a fight but to own up to the bad joke, apologize for it, and move on. Hey, on the...

  17. The Hunger Games and Nursing

    Dany102 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily a bad thing, Farawyn. :) My comment was meant as tongue-in-cheek and I hope it was taken as such. If not, I offer you my

  18. The Hunger Games and Nursing

    Dany102 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    On general principle alone, I do not approve of sexy nurses... They are just WAY too

  19. Full Moon Plus Lunar Eclipse Plus Blood Moon = INSANITY!?

    Dany102 replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in General Nursing

    Party pooper! (I did say it was a non-scientific theory) But thank you, Brandon, for providing me with more information on this very interesting

  20. Full Moon Plus Lunar Eclipse Plus Blood Moon = INSANITY!?

    Dany102 replied to LittleTwinStars's topic in General Nursing

    My non-scientific theory goes like this: the human body is composed of roughly 65% water; we know the moon affect the world's oceans (tides are caused by the moon). I think it would be reasonable to...

  21. Feeling defeated

    Dany102 replied to PixieRN14's topic in First Year After Licensure

    PixieRN14, much like the poster thomasphan wrote, I would encourage you to sidle up with a more experienced nurse and see how they do it. There is much to learn by observing others. There is also...

  22. Put my foot in my mouth again....

    Dany102 replied to Anna Flaxis's topic in Emergency

    That actually made me chuckle a bit. You know what they say about assumption, right? if it's any comfort, you're likely not the only one guilty of that particular

  23. social media problem

    Dany102 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think you have much to worry about here. This sounds to me like a boisterous and empty threat. Some people are just that shallow... You did the right think by removing this person from your...

  24. Getting Paid to Precept Students

    Dany102 replied to steffyh's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was wondering the exact same thing. What are they taking out of the student's hide at this

  25. Would you have called out?

    Dany102 replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    Newboy, you did the right thing. I don't think it would have been appropriate to have called out for this. As for not having any luck with your coworkers helping you out, have you considered...
