    When Did Nursing Become a Contact Sport? | Life of a Nurse

    When Did Nursing Become a Contact Sport? | Life of a Nurse

    Wuzzie replied to Abby McCoy RN's topic in General Nursing

    This has been going on forever. I had my thumb bent back and dislocated by a patient when I was a 98lb student because he didn't want his blood draw. I remember a course I was forced to take that...

    Quitting Before My Four Weeks Notice

    Wuzzie replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

    My guess is you came here seeking validation not feedback and once you got feedback you didn’t like it. That’s on you. FTR: I work M-F so pretty sure I get the scheduling thing and I still think...

    Quitting Before My Four Weeks Notice

    Wuzzie replied to TryingtoThriveRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it will but the bridges will be burnt. There’s no getting around it. Frankly, I would work the last 3 shifts and leave with a clear conscience. The fact that you scheduled a non-urgent...

    COVID-19: I'm Doing My Own Research

    Wuzzie replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    I did not call YOU a snot...how on earth could you be insulted by something I said about someone who we don't even know exists? She gave a snotty answer. In my book that is a snot. No...

    COVID-19: I'm Doing My Own Research

    Wuzzie replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    I said it "appears" you are being disingenuous. I've given you an opening to clarify but you chose to be snarky instead. The situation to which you referred is not exactly how you presented it. I...

    COVID-19: I'm Doing My Own Research

    Wuzzie replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the girl is an angel but it was a snotty and unnecessary response. Usually nice people don't talk this way. You're leaving out a great deal of information about this case which...

    COVID-19: I'm Doing My Own Research

    Wuzzie replied to KathyDay's topic in General Nursing

    Fair point but being rude about it doesn't really help and certainly will not garner much sympathy for the cause. I don't think it's fair to treat the medical establishment like scum for what SCOTUS...

    Noo you weren't...she was. I absolutely agree with this but being disrespectful to a healthcare provider for asking a relative question that may be of benefit to her care is not the way...

    That's not what I'm saying at all and I resent you implying that I am. I don't disagree but you can be respectful when you communicate this. If you are directing this...

    No it's part of a normal patient history with women of childbearing age and her retort was rude. If she doesn't trust this provider she needs to move on to

    Burnt Out As A New Nurse

    Wuzzie replied to RNa23's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To be fair this was JKL’s first response to the OP who had not given many details regarding what was going on. In a subsequent post the OP provided more details and JKL responded in a manner that...

    Is a long commute worth it?

    Wuzzie replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    When I did it the part I didn’t factor in was being away from home so much. Staying with family is great (and what I did) but not being in your own environment surrounded by the things and the...

    Is a long commute worth it?

    Wuzzie replied to RatherBHiking's topic in General Nursing

    I’ve done it and it’s awful. Her plan may be to work 3 days in a row but there is no guarantee that will happen. She will be scheduled any combination of days including every other day so she...

    IV Push Ativan

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Nonnie RN's topic in General Nursing

    The highlight wasn't mine. Read further down to administration instructions where it clearly shows IV push administration. The nurse you were talking to is an
