    Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    CBlover replied to BonnieSc's topic in Patient Medications

    I can't understand a clinical instructor like you had in school who would not go with you to give a medication!! You said your clinical instructor was on call?? What does that mean? You weren't an RN...

    Reconsidering nursing

    CBlover replied to FutureResearchRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I wouldn't let one mishap ruin my career. I know that must be unbelievably hard to deal with. I have made mistakes, never did it harm anyone thankfully, and I agree it makes you feel AWFUL, just...

    Emotionally tired

    CBlover replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Health, Stress Management

    You know, if someone were to ask me, "What is one thing you would miss about your job if you became a millionaire?" I would say, "Nothing. Nothing at all." With the exception of fun nurses I work...

    is your immune system suffering?

    CBlover replied to nealiiih's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have been in pt care for years and have been sick MAYBE once a year?? Make sure you are getting plenty of rest. Sleep in. Take vitamin C like crazy. I know you don't want to call in, but if you wake...

    CBlover replied to ixchel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Wow did I write this!? Sounds sooo familiar! Isn't it amazing how we all work in all four corners of the US and the same mess goes on everywhere! I thought it was just me that has noticed this. So...

    How do you deal with Munchhausen-type pts?

    CBlover replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think any of us are diagnosing these pt's with such a disorder, but I'm sorry there are one or two that you just can't help but think they may have Munchausen's. If you had seen one pt of mine...

    How do you deal with Munchhausen-type pts?

    CBlover replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    I can COMPLETELY relate. I've had one for sure that I know of. This pt's PCP finally said "ENOUGH" and would no longer remain her PCP. This pt has their family completely fooled. I've had another who...

    Help, I hate Vomit - Can I still be a nurse?

    CBlover replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    As others stated, I don't know any of us that love emesis. Personally, it is easier for me to deal with than stool. We all have our "hate." For many nurses I know, mucous totally grosses them out but...

    So...What Kind of Nursing Task Do You LIKE?

    CBlover replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    My most favorite is the adrenaline-rush situations where you have to think and act fast. Doc is saying, "I need 2mg of Versed IV NOW" I like IVs too and I like accessing port's. It seems the more you...

    Do you talk to your coworkers alot on your lunch break?

    CBlover replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I talk with my coworkers and we are friends AT WORK. I do not socialize with coworkers outside of the workplace. That's just me

    Am I a bad nurse?

    CBlover replied to smartypants22's topic in Private Duty

    I'm not familiar with contracts as you mentioned. What would happen if perhaps you absolutely could not keep this one year contract? What kind of punishment could you get? Honestly, as SDALPN said,...

    How Important is it that your patients and their families like you?

    CBlover replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sound just like me. When I started nursing I was the same way. It does change over time doesn't it? I still want my pt's to be happy with their care, but do I care what management and all the big...

    Question for everyone..

    CBlover replied to CLEnurse216's topic in General Nursing

    Are people getting meaner, or am I just going soft?

    CBlover replied to TakeTwoAspirin's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I actually thought it was just me thinking the same thing - that people are just getting mean! It's like fewer and fewer people have good manners or appreciate a service done for them. It makes you...

    CBlover replied to meanmaryjean's topic in General Nursing

    Hmm..what do I REALLY want from my leader.. 1. Advocate for OUR unit. Step up to the plate when you feel pressure from YOUR leader(s) and stand up for YOUR unit and staff. 2. Wake up to reality and...
