    Access to medical records

    Tweety replied to ApplePineApple's topic in General Nursing

    If notes and results are chosen by a provider to be hidden from MyChart, I certainly don't feel it's my place to open up the chart on demand and show it to someone. I agree with the person who told...

    Good evening. Stars, sorry to hear about Mr. Stars' ongoing issues. Pay-it-forward sure makes people feel good. But I'm in the minority opinion. First of all if you're buying a $3 to $5...

    The time for CMO might be sooner rather than later. People presume, regardless of who has the POA that elder care is female driven and this is largely true from what I've seen. Plus, they probably...

    Hospice does come with a lot of services, including inpatient, and respite care. But that would involve DNR status and end of treatment, I.e. no calling 911 because she sleeps too much. Something to...

    Oscar nominated for "Best Picture" this is an excellent movie. Deals with several themes such as violence to women and

    Good evening. Work went well. I had 4:1 ratio and didn't get an admission. Tomorrow I'm in charge. It seems my charge schedule is every other Thursday as the only day of that week. Then the...

    Signs of Toxic/Unhealthy Workplaces

    Tweety replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Nursing Career

    I love that meme. I think we also have to keep things in perspective. I keep hearing "nurses eat their young" "toxic environment" "nurses attract catty people" but of course none of us on this...

    Good morning! Joe, again with the theme "I was so stressed out but in the end managed to get things done". Just sayin'. But sometimes we can't help but stress over situations. Routine day...

    Stars, I'm pretty sure they don't have social activities in rehab that families attend. They do have activities for the patients I think. I remember playing volleyball since I was in a group with...

    Chia mixed with water is a good binder. I think there's a misprint in the recipe in that it called for 1/2 cup of lemon juice and this ruined it. Made it too juicy and too lemony and I tried to...

    During the early 2010s did society stop being excited for space travel and the future?

    Tweety replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    I think a segment of our society is still excited about space and it's frontiers but as a society we've grown inward. It's hard to get excited about space when the price of eggs is what it is, and...

    This is available on Amazon for Prime members and it was really good. It has a lot of commentary about contemporary society, our values and

    Good morning! Stars, if the "family night" is a social event I would skip it. But if there are group or couple's counseling sessions, I would advise you to try to make those. You will be able...

    I decided not to make them tonight but I'm using this recipe. I'm thinking the oatmeal and the mushiness of the beans will bind it. We'll see....

    Stars, I hope he's not going to use a physical ailment as an excuse not to go to rehab but I'm sure he'll be full of excuses. You just have to be firm about it like it's not an option not to go....

    Why do some fairly new nurses talk down about bedside nursing?

    Tweety replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. It certainly isn't easy and when we're short staffed (always) and go 6:1 it's extremely tough. But I guess I'm a glutton for self-punishment.

    I have been known to get the ice cream. And enjoy all 1000 calories in a pint. I was bad and got Chinese food and chicken wings for dinner after work Friday night. Jumped back on the healthy...

    Why do some fairly new nurses talk down about bedside nursing?

    Tweety replied to Googlenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I've been at the bedside for 31 years now. So yes, it is sustainable. I left for six months over 12 years ago to work in the Admit-Transfer centers as a "manager" (in quotes because it was two...

    Why do the younger generations have less empathy? And how can we stop them from going into nursing?

    Tweety replied to RitzyCinnamonRoll's topic in General Nursing

    This is one person so I would agree with the people above to not paint a generation like that. That said there are generational differences for good and for bad. There always are and there...

    Mask Fatigue

    Tweety replied to Cjones864's topic in General Nursing

    As soon as the CDC said we could take them off my hospital stopped requiring them last year and I took mine off. So while I didn't mind I guess I did get mask fatigue after two years. This is...

    Good morning! Joe, have a good time at the potluck. I've noticed over time a good deal of people don't cook for potlucks but buy ready-made stuff, but there's always a few good cooks. The last...

    LPN LTC - evil nurses

    Tweety replied to ButterflyBuns's topic in General Nursing

    I would never belittle your experience and that sounds dreadful. But I've been in the profession for 30 years working the hospital setting and haven't found this to be true at all. Now, we all are...
