    4/23 WILTW: It turns out nurses do make the worst patients

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I keep meaning to buy a petite foot, not-petite calf pair from Sock Dreams (.com). I have tiny feet and I'm tired of folding up the toes of compression socks inside my real socks. They don't have...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you do, don't try to cover it up by falsifying records (again, even if the doc would backdate a paper script, the pharmacy bottle will say the date you actually filled it). You would lose ALL...

    I'm curious, was it difficult to get licensed overseas? I have a dear friend in NZ and we joke about becoming neighbors, but it's not entirely a

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I loved the arch in Dankso professionals clogs, but I have wide feet, and the rigid shoe causes major pressure on the first joint of my great toes, to the point of causing numbness that takes weeks to...

    Vacation?

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to Nurse131382's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame you for being upset about your vacation denial (as if you are singlehandedly responsible for ensuring the facility is well staffed), but be VERY careful with calling in sick after you've...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to oopsmybad's topic in General Nursing

    It's not an assumption, just a remnant of knowledge from when I worked in a pharmacy (which was a long time ago, and why I said as far as I know). I posted that from my phone, and found that link as...

    People SNORT Wellbutrin for fun?! Now THAT is scurry. Wellbutrin does enough weird stuff when you take it properly. Ive never heard of people being tested for tricyclics in routine drug screens...

    When I was 18, I had no idea about controlled substance regulation. A worker from the shop next door was selling we Percocet after a dental procedure. I knew it was wrong to sell them, but I didn't...

    If you see a unicorn, it is clearly a person above the danger zone axis who has not revealed their crazy. Run. All you need to know is that I am planted firmly along that diagonal

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    WILTW: You can choose not to see posts by specific usernames, which is nice. If a username is doing nothing but marching around from thread to thread wielding their giant pot-stirrer, I'd rather save...

    4/23 WILTW: It turns out nurses do make the worst patients

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    We get lots of both acute and chronic, with many of our patients post joint replacement or spinal fusion. I think it's probably the more random non-ortho med-surg admissions that get judged harshly,...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    Completely fair! If I have a patient who has high levels of pain and has been regularly cycling through all their PRNs, and has had no adverse reactions, I'm less concerned about creating a bad...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I have learned (not this week, I'll admit) that it's important to ask anyway. If the nurse is kind and helpful, everyone wins, you learn, and the patient benefits. If the nurse is rude but helpful,...

    NotAllWhoWandeRN replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard an alarming number of nurses on my unit doubting patients' pain levels because they're playing on their phone or manage to laugh. When I'm in pain I withdraw, I don't writhe and scream....
