    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    You would think they would realize that dissing the people who get to decide the size of their IV and Foley is probably not such a good

    Thank you, Joy Behar!

    Ah, yes, The View. Proving once again that women can also be knuckle-dragging

    Mandatory flu vaccines

    Not so much-that one has kind of degenerated into a peeing contest, and has wandered off into homeopathic cancer treatment. Some interesting reading, but you have to wade through about a metric...

    Nurses don't know the lab

    Methinks he has skedaddled since he didn't stir up the firestorm he thought he would, so it's a moot

    Nurses don't know the lab

    And we have yet another OP who has disappeared when anarchy didn't ensue after their antics. I really don't have contact with labs anymore, as I'm a Hospice Nurse. However, this thread has been a...

    Document Everything!

    Since she never called a code, not really lol. They did once I hit the ER, though. It was something you NEVER heard, and everybody and their brother showed
  9. Actually stopping patients and families from abusing the Nursing staff is sure to lower those precious Press-Gainey scores. So, that ain't gonna happen any time

    Nurses don't know the lab

    Yes, but when we vent, we come HERE. To a Nursing forum. We don't go to a Lab Tech forum and rave on about how awful and thick headed they are. OP's choice of language and tone was incredibly...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Maybe this will work

    Document Everything!

    That feeling of impending doom is real. When I was having an anaphylactic reaction at work, the last thing I remember before I stopped breathing was telling the totally clueless Nursing Supervisor...

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    Of course I do. It was almost 40 years ago, but I remember. I remember our CI telling us in no uncertain terms that we were guests of the hospital, we were to stay out of the staff's way, and if she...

    Document Everything!

    This thread is funny as heck, but I had a co-worker back in the early 80s who actually DID chart like this (yes, the same one whose patients ate "bowels of

    Why are the floor nurses so unwilling to teach?

    This is a Nursing forum. Therefore, our experience and feelings are based on our experiences in the Nursing world. Frankly, what you did in the military is irrelevant. You can continue to belabor...

    9/5 What I learned this week.....

    Oh, band camp exists. I went 3 summers in high school. The neatest part was after one week, a bunch of strangers actually sounded like they had been performing as a band for a good long time. Never...

    The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    This thread really needs to go away. It's a visual representation of Einstein's Definition of Insanity: Saying the same thing over and over and refusing to acknowledge actual facts doesn't make it...

    why aren't gloves better

    When gloves were first recommended back in the 80s, it took hospitals several years before they reluctantly provided cheap gloves that tore when they were put on. So, yeah, they aren't going to spend...

    Administering Fentanyl

    Fentanyl patch in Hospice. Only problem is you have to have some meat on you for it to properly absorb, and Hospice patients tend to lose weight
