  1. Questionable actions that make you go hmm?

    jag nurse replied to Snatchedwig's topic in General Nursing

    Lol Reminds of the time one doctor (radiologist) saw and talked about a "phallus" in the brain. He meant to say

  2. Drug Seeking Patients

    jag nurse replied to Quinnbee's topic in General Nursing

    Those people drive me insane. I asked a guy his pain level one time and described it to him as “Zero is no pain, and ten is you’re on fire and your skin is falling off”. He replied, as he...

  3. Everyone is white?

    jag nurse replied to eacue's topic in General Nursing

    This is a good point. I work with people from Lithuania, the Ukraine, South Africa, Mexico, Philippines, and America. A mostly-broad-brush of "White" could be painted, over our facility. The...

  9. Are all for-profit hospitals soul-sucking despots that truly only care about the bottom line

    jag nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I can only speak for the one I worked for, but I've heard enough horror stories that make me think, "Yes!". The place I worked for continually allowed in extremely rude patients that would call the...

  10. Adjusting to NIGHT SHIFTS advice??

    jag nurse replied to nurse.sierra's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Nurse Sierra! You're already ahead of the game by getting blackout curtains and a fan. I also use ear plugs. I try to keep my same schedule, on my days off. It's tough, because the world runs on...

  11. Pyxis Problems

    jag nurse replied to Davey Do's topic in General Nursing

    Lol I had to laugh at your post. Thank the Good Lord we don't have pts banging and scratching, on the door! One place I worked had a sign, on the door, saying to NOT knock, but the CNAs did it all...

  12. Back on med/surg after 15 years

    jag nurse replied to unknownjulie's topic in General Nursing

    I feel for you. We truly are expected to do SO much. The incessant phone ringing, everyone on bed alarms, multiple steps to do, for what should be something simple...I get it. It's tough, and it's...

  13. Just grin and bear it!

    jag nurse replied to mi_dreamin's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my goodness... : / She's in major denial. I get the "I love my husband and don't want him to die" thing. I don't want mine to die, either, but there comes a time! Poor

  14. Back on med/surg after 15 years

    jag nurse replied to unknownjulie's topic in General Nursing

    This is so exciting to read about your new adventure! Yes, nurses are stretched thin, acuity seems to have flown out the window, and there is a breakdown in society that we definitely see and deal...

    jag nurse replied to Sunset59's topic in General Nursing

    Please take heart, and don't give up. #1 You are not a failure, because you're still trying! #2 You are already a success x2, because you're 50-something AND took on nursing school! #3 Weight:...

  18. Living Will Tattoo

    jag nurse replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! Like someone said, we no longer consider death a part of our existence. I believe it's greatly due to everyone afraid of being sued. Do the paramedics/EMTs even check for cards or...

  19. Patient's "right" to abuse nurses...I need your opinion

    jag nurse replied to MsNewbee's topic in General Nursing

    I have had numerous patients like this, and like others have said, you need to put your foot down. Everyone needs to share the wealth. In other words, you don't need to take someone like that for...

    jag nurse replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really sorry this has happened to you. {HUGS} and [bLESSINGES} to you.

    jag nurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    How are you liking your job so far? Have you found that, because of your age, people expect that you know more than you do? Pros? Cons? (Good for you, by the

  22. I can't win for losing

    jag nurse replied to NurseBeans's topic in School

    What a ridiculously sad situation. I'm glad you did your job. Since children can't speak up for themselves, they need others' help. It would make no sense to me, whatsoever, why you could or would...

  23. How do you handle HCAHPS?

    jag nurse replied to jag nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Haha The places I have worked survey the pt every shift, as in the manager goes around and speaks to the pt and asks specifically how their nurse that day is treating them (in so many

  24. How do you handle HCAHPS?

    jag nurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    Nursing has changed, and HCAHPS is everywhere now, so we have to deal with it, but how? My main concern is to care for my patients during my shift. I try to do a good job, explain any procedures I...

  25. I have a real problem with ancillary staff and am at my wits end. I need help.

    jag nurse replied to dec2007's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, sometimes we have to do their work. I have run into the same issue before. Where I worked, the CNAs were great at giving baths other things not so much. Some of them didn't like to...
