    Um, I know, glycerly tri nitrate/nitrite - never sure if it's ite or

  2. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    The patient walked away, and I don't know all the reasons why, but I know he knew the doctor had seen his ECG, said he could afford to wait, and would have felt his pain most likely the result of...

  3. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I"m pretty comfortable with chest pain, and spent enough time with heart patients. In this case, he was only in pain on movement, he'd recently begun a weight training program, which...

    Yeah, you're right, and hopefully someone will get something out of my posts. Thanks for your

  5. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, that's not a bad idea, although I'm pretty bad with the whole social media thing, don't even have an ipod/ipad/iphone thingee, although a student did give me his old one a few years ago,...

  6. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I'm quite impressed, I'm no longer a nurse. Actually, lots of hospitals I've worked in have lots of different protocols for chest pain. Some had special chest pain units, where any chest pain, no...

    Like I said, this really happened, pretty much as I've stated

    Finally, someone who knows the truth. Oh, and by stating 'there was no God' - this isn't ignoring them, and probably hurt

    Actually, the God of abraham is the same God of all three

  10. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    wow, it's so easy to pick holes, especially when you weren't there. This happened, I wasn't the one looking after the patient. I did go in with my friend to the horrible meeting. We did hear them...

  11. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Um, doing chest compressions on a patient you'd seen the night before, and who'd gone home, thinking his heart was ok, even though no one had given him the all-clear. Okay, if you can't get anything...

  12. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    There may have been, but I can't remember. I do remember all tests coming back normal. That's about

  13. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    The guy was there for over 4 hours before they decided to leave. I can't remember all the details, but they got sick of waiting. He must have had more than one ecg, but I do remember there was more...

  14. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    2005, and if you can't see any relevance, I guess you've missed some of the themes that this brings up, so I'll help: Trust, confidentiality, scapegoats, risks with agency nursing, looking out for no....

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    2005, and I don't have the imagination to make something like this

  16. Your worst nightmare

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I ca remember obs all fine. As part of taking bloods I've line inserted but nothing given. Was a 12 lead ECG. The assessment unit is not for monitored patients, but to decide if needs to be...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    yes it broke some rules, but I'm glad she did it. We were both hardened by temp nursing and knew to trust no one and protect

  18. It's not my job to pray with you.

    nursingaround1 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    You are making lots of assumptions. I don't give a view either way, but i do ask how do we know right from wrong. I am not sure what bits of the bible you think I've cherry picked as I have not...

  19. It's not my job to pray with you.

    nursingaround1 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    What I find interesting is who gets to decide what is right and wrong? If there is no God, then it's as Richard Dawkins (famous militant atheist) says; 'there is no good or evil, just blind, pitiless...

  20. It's not my job to pray with you.

    nursingaround1 replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Has anyone ever been invited to someone's place for dinner, and they pray before dinner? I politely bow my head and keep quiet. It's not lying, it's showing respect. In my years as a nurse, I can...

  21. Nurses that kill

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This happened in a hospital in the late 90's opposite a Big Ben/parliament buildings, one of the most prestigious in the UK. I'm working my 2nd ever weekend in A&E caring for majors - that's like...

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Now that's impressive. Was the patient particularly old or

  23. Nurses that kill

    nursingaround1 replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to direct the discussion. I put an experience out there, and see where it goes. Agency nursing, especially in London, is quite an interesting experience, and I could share some posts...

  24. Unusual treatments

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here's a few things I've seen: The Russians insist for gastroenteritis vodka with black pepper. A couple of kids even got out of detention when they found vodka in their rooms, because the parents...

    nursingaround1 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Curious what you think of this scenario. Boarding - two 16yr old girls going to Paris in a party via train with 18 boys. Usual result is 16 disappointed boys, and two distraught girls. Girl A is going...
