1. Don't touch that Thermostat!

   quazar replied to InnocentRN's topic in General Nursing

   On my floor it's the opposite problem. The nurse's station and hallways feel like the frozen tundra, and the thermostat is dominated by the ones who are sweating. Our patient rooms have individual...

2. Could I have done something differently?

   quazar replied to Iker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   quazar replied to Kooky Korky's topic in Ob/Gyn

   As an L&D nurse who has delivered quite a few babies on the fly over the years, I can honestly and fervently say it is not only barbaric and against all practice guidelines to "hold in" a baby,...

5. Could I have done something differently?

   quazar replied to Iker's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   I had a patient refuse to go home for 4 days. She insisted SOMETHING was wrong. We did every test under the sun on her, most of them ungodly expensive. Nothing was wrong. She was medicaid....

6. Is being a CNA a really hard job?

   quazar replied to Veronicax's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

   . It can, sure, but most CNA jobs that are plentiful and available are the ones that require extreme physical labor and endurance. It might not be what you want to hear, but it's the truth. CNA...

7. attending non-OB conferences: a waste or not?

   quazar replied to quazar's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I love learning new things if they hold my interest. For example, I love learning about life sciences. However if you try to teach me something new about math or computers, my eyes will glaze over...

8. Inappropriate CNA behavior?

   quazar replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

   I think you handled it as well as could be expected. Had I been confronted with this as a student on my first day of clinical, I have no idea if I would have had the stones to speak up. Sad but...

9. attending non-OB conferences: a waste or not?

   quazar posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I get email alerts for professional nursing conferences, and frequently get brochures as well. Not all of them are strictly OB related, either. Some of them pique my curiosity, and sometimes I think...

    quazar replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    quazar replied to matcha-cat's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, thank you, that post was completely out of order. "Tattle tail?" Really? What is this, the 3rd

14. Vegas mb conference

    quazar replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Ob/Gyn

    One of the many sacrifices I voluntarily make by taking per diem status. I'm not sure if the full timers get it paid for or not, but still, one day I'll go. After all, even though it's expensive up...

15. Falsifying nursing documentation

    quazar replied to jenack's topic in General Nursing

    This is where that boring part of orientation and the yearly mandatory education about corporate compliance kicks in and is actually beneficial. Report her, there is a way to do so...
