  1. Negative Nancy

    CryssyD replied to Big Blondie's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Wow, I've got to look into some of this stuff--radical acceptance sounds like something I could get into. Anyway, I always just go to my gratitude list when things are getting rough--I guess...

  2. Returning to work while In RAMP monitoring program

    CryssyD replied to Clara38's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I just finished another state's program. I have been working at a prison for almost 4 years now--they were the most receptive to the idea of having me as an employee while on monitoring. The local...

  3. Found a positive to my program..

    CryssyD replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have to say, the only positive thing in my contract was the 40 hours/week restriction! However, as soon as my boss asked my case manager to allow 48 hours instead, she went ahead and changed it...

  4. A dilemma

    CryssyD replied to smartassmommy's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, he does have the right to refuse a brief change. Is there some reason for his refusal you can identify? What reason does he give? Is there a nurse or CNA that he likes who can do some...

  5. Need advice about complaint filed against me with BON

    CryssyD replied to Anonme's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with above comments-no more posting! Find out what the situation is-which patient and which documentation they are talking about. And until you know what they are referring to, try to...

  6. Placed on administrative leave, reason unknown

    CryssyD replied to TurtleN84's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like this issue was affecting patient care; it is never appropriate for nursing/ancillary staff to bring patients into a personal conflict. That alone was reason to go to a...

  7. Weirdest/most difficult thing swallowed by a patient

    CryssyD replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked at a facility for psychiatric and developmentally-disabled patients, we had a young lady who couldn't have any sheets, blankets, or pillowcases on her bed, and all her clothes had to be...

  8. What are some things that you wish you would've known as a novice nurse?

    CryssyD replied to RNdonut's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be afraid of doctors-they are only human. My baby brother is going to med school--believe me, that really helps change your perspective on doctors. They are all someone's son, brother, husband,...

  9. PICU interview

    CryssyD replied to aminoacid9's topic in General Nursing

    Always rule number one in pediatrics: Airway, airway, airway! Something else I learned quickly was, always listen to the parents--if a parent says, "He/she just doesn't look/isn't acting right,"...

  10. Wound care opinions (apologize for length!)

    CryssyD replied to CaringGerinurse525's topic in General Nursing

    I would recommend consultation with a wound/enterostomal nurse if possible. Otherwise, maybe an alginate dressing--they are highly absorbent-would be helpful. A wound-vac system is probably your best...

  11. Can a doctor "order" a nurse to not assess something?

    CryssyD replied to SilleLu's topic in General Nursing

    Just a gut feeling here, but were you addressing your concern that the patient needed additional treatment for his/her withdrawal symptoms in any other way--by asking the doctor directly, for example?...
