1. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

   jaderook01 replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

   OP: But the satisfaction of having excellent documentation does help in these situations. I will never forget this incident during my first year of teaching on parent/teacher conference day. We...

2. Did this patient overreact?!

   jaderook01 replied to Apatientnow's topic in General Nursing

   This type of argument is called a non sequitur. What it means is that your conclusion that she shouldn't be embarrassed does not logically follow from the argument that she has had her genitals...

3. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

   jaderook01 replied to Daytoe's topic in General Nursing

   Exactly.

4. I hate my current job and want to work in a hospital

   jaderook01 replied to nr92's topic in Nursing Career

   Came here to say pretty much the same thing, but you beat me to it. The only thing I disagree with (as someone who taught middle school for fourteen years) is that nursing is harder/more exhausting....

5. How Much Junk do you Keep?

   jaderook01 replied to Accolay's topic in General Nursing

   That's impressive. Life goals, right there. I recently purged a ton of stuff. I half-@$$ed the Konmari thing. I completely purged all of my teaching stuff- but somehow convinced myself to hold on...

6. Patient rights an privacy bathroom

   jaderook01 replied to Mqnurse13's topic in General Nursing

   It's rare when I have patients that can walk without assistance to the bathroom. Most of ours either use bedside commodes, bedpans, or are incontinent. If they are a falls risk (and can actually...

7. "My doctor told me..."

   jaderook01 replied to angeloublue22's topic in General Nursing

   Oh, my word. Having been present when doctors talk to patients, I'm going with they misunderstood what the doctor told

8. Struggling, am I a crappy nurse?

   jaderook01 replied to TexasmedicRN's topic in General Nursing

   It's not you. It was their time. I'm sure you did the best you

9. Are you a "Sister?"

   jaderook01 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

   Do you live in Louisiana or something? That is not a thing, even in Catholic hospitals in my area of the US. What you're describing is completely foreign to me. Also, just wanted to say that it...

10. Heparin bolus administration

    jaderook01 replied to RDH-RN's topic in Patient Medications

    Where I work, a heparin bolus is always IV and not subQ. The order will even state it

11. Gave medications too early is this an error?

    jaderook01 replied to daniela095's topic in Patient Medications

    There should be a chart in the med room somewhere that tells you the time frame window during which you can give certain meds early or late. However, six hours early is definitely a problem. I think...

12. "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    jaderook01 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm at the point where I document what they state their pain is and then also document what I perceive their pain to be on the faces scale. If they give me half numbers, I round

13. Is this a fair holiday schedule

    jaderook01 replied to sweet sunshine's topic in General Nursing

    That does sound awful. On my unit we have a rotation. Group A has to work Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Day; Group B has to work Black Friday, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve; and...

14. The life or death squatty potty

    jaderook01 replied to remotefuse's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah- next time- tell anyone to just take the needed equipment without explaining. It doesn't belong to the patient, anyway. I've taken things I've needed for wall suction out of patient rooms...

15. Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    jaderook01 replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    If I refused to care for every single patient with whom I had moral disagreements, I'd likely rarely
