    banditrn replied to TeresaB930's topic in General Nursing

    banditrn replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    jls - OMG, you mean you're supposed to SHAVE your legs? I thought that was what long pants were

  5. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

    banditrn replied to Hacker-Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Hacker - imagine yourself at 70. I've seen women whose earlobes sag just from wearing regular earrings - it's NOT attractive. My granddaughter recently learned a lesson about how 'decorating' herself...

  6. Patients without insurance who self prescribe from livestock supply catalogues

    banditrn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Vista - I've seen this happen too, and it's SO wrong. The gal I'm thinking of went to school 'free' because she was a single mother - yet she isn't working because she doesn't want to give up her...

  7. Patients without insurance who self prescribe from livestock supply catalogues

    banditrn replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    jls - I've looked at many of the 'vet meds' and they are identical to human meds - they just don't cost as much. My problem with this is taking antibiotics if you don't need to. I'm curious tho, with...

  8. What MD speciality do you find the most difficult to work with?

    banditrn replied to nurturing_angel's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that there are good and bad in each - but the two docs I really detested were both surgeons. I loved the cardiologists I worked

  12. Nurses not responding fast enough-VENT

    banditrn replied to pirap's topic in General Nursing

    I handled this, as long as my patient was able to drink, by smiling and telling the family member that I'd be happy to get it and "why don't you come with me so that I can show you where the water and...

    banditrn replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Did you tell the male RN that you'd be happy to do the bath, but he needed to have everything ready to go - and help you by doing a couple of your blood

  14. Families from Hell

    banditrn replied to traumamomtx30's topic in General Nursing

    Martinette - OMGosh, do I feel bad for you. Those working conditions sound awful. Why do you suppose it's so awful over there for nurses? Does it have anything to do with the National Health...

  15. NO autonomy!

    banditrn posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm used to having the autonomy of using my own judgement in certain things, but at this LTCF, it seems like you have none. The other nite, it was time to change this old gents foley. I could not get...

  17. Verbal Abuse?!?!?

    banditrn replied to CuriousMe's topic in General Nursing

    Good question, Andy. I think as a society, we've become less respectful and less caring. I think part of it is the way some people raise their children. Who knows - I wish it were

  18. What Was the DUMBEST Request Made By A Patient?

    banditrn replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

  20. Walking off in the middle of report?

    banditrn replied to BlearnRN's topic in General Nursing

    All this is why taping report works so well. We had an overlap in ICU - they went in to listen to report while we finished up - then before you leave if they have any questions they can ask

  21. Some parents amaze me

    banditrn replied to teeituptom's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely!! It saddens me when I see children mistreated or unloved. Each child born deserves to be loved and cherished. I see some people out there who ache to have a child but are unable to -...

  23. Pimples, blackheads and acne

    banditrn replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    Those are one of the very few things that make me ill! One time in the ICU, I was getting a guy ready for a cardiac cath. I sat him on the edge of the bed to do a wash up, then went in to wash his...

  24. Condition H

    banditrn replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in post anesthesia at our hospital, it would have been lovely to have a rapid response team. And I understand that they have since initiated a program like that. A couple of times when...
