  1. Why is it inappropriate to stand up for yourself?

    defying.gravity replied to remotefuse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I wouldn't want to place a judgment on you or the MD based on one encounter. I've seen the nicest professionals lose their cool at times and I've seen some of the crankiest professionals do and say...

  2. Melanoma

    defying.gravity replied to pedspnp's topic in Advanced Practice

    I would ask. I hope they will accommodate you. My best wishes to you for your healing and

  3. clinicals

    defying.gravity replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    lol! Definitely don't be impressed, I'm looking back through rose-colored glasses. If I really think about it, there were many times they were outside the door banging and looking under the door...

  4. Is This Behavior Inappropriate?

    defying.gravity replied to Arizona#1RN's topic in General Nursing

    My honest opinion is be careful about letting your co-worker get into your head space. For your own best interest, try to remove the emotional connection you have to her and try to re-focus on the...

  5. clinicals

    defying.gravity replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    It's been a long time since I was in nursing school so I can't really answer. There's a chance the agreement between your school and the clinical site is strict, which might explain some of the...

  8. Calling diabetes experts

    defying.gravity replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    lol .. indeed, Ilg ... barring the throwing juice at a nurse, I'm right there with you. I'm pretty sensitive to pt baseline as well due to my personal experience. I added some examples in with my...

  9. Calling diabetes experts

    defying.gravity replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Dogen, I would like to adjust the word "will" in my post to "can". Hypoglycemia can be a symptom, not will be a symptom. I should have been more careful in my post, there is a big difference between...

  10. Calling diabetes experts

    defying.gravity replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

  11. Calling diabetes experts

    defying.gravity replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Rebound hypoglycemia is a risk for diet controlled type 2 diabetics when on a course of corticosteroids or infection. The BS will trend up after eating, most likely, but the rebound hypoglycemia,...

    defying.gravity replied to Butterflybee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  13. Doctors Don't Always Listen: Bridging the Communication Gap

    defying.gravity replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Great article, the one you wrote as well as the one you used as a reference. I'm loving "Justina" right now. The "Justinas" of the world are the people I admire greatly and have always used as my...

  14. Your worst nightmare

    defying.gravity replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    That's a shame that happened. I'm having a hard time understanding why there was a missing ECG, that seems pretty sinister on the part of the facility, which surprises me for a London facility....

  15. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    defying.gravity replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    Am I the only one who laughed reading that? Lot of extreme examples she used ... black/white thinking .... where are the shades of grey that most of us live and work in? Not the 50 shades, that's a...

  16. Calling diabetes experts

    defying.gravity replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    If baseline and history is available, I'd look at that and see how those numbers compared to her baseline. I'd watch for trending if she's getting treatments or her health concern might be affecting...

  17. Noncompliant diabetic patients

    defying.gravity replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Nice to meet you, too, Ilg. I couldn't agree with you more about wishing there was more discussion about successful diet/lifestyle treatment. I can see your point about the funding source for the...

    defying.gravity replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Wholeheartedly agree. Could probably talk about this subject with you ad nauseam as I am a diet and lifestyle blood glucose maintainer as well. My endocrinologist is progressive and holistically...

  24. RN being bullied by LVN

    defying.gravity replied to BDBSNRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations
