  1. Those parents who believe everything their kids say

    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 usually had team conferences. Individual conferences o...
  2. Did this patient overreact?!

    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 exposed before due to having children. Past that, I thi...
  3. Lost 15 yrs of Senority by changing departments

    Exactly.
  4. 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. It's exhausting and stressful in a different way th...
  5. How Much Junk do you Keep?

    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 to a few nursing textbooks. I may have to rethink...
  6. Patient rights an privacy bathroom

    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 walk), then they are escorted to the bathroom, the doo...
  7. "My doctor told me..."

    Oh, my word. Having been present when doctors talk to patients, I'm going with they misunderstood what the doctor told them.
  8. Struggling, am I a crappy nurse?

    It's not you. It was their time. I'm sure you did the best you could.
  9. Are you a "Sister?"

    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 has been fascinating reading everyone's responses on...
  10. Heparin bolus administration

    Where I work, a heparin bolus is always IV and not subQ. The order will even state it clearly.
  11. Gave medications too early is this an error?

    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 I know what your issue is. When a new medication...
  12. "My pain is about an eight and a half"

    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 up.
  13. Is this a fair holiday schedule

    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 you switch off the next year. I already know what h...
  14. The life or death squatty potty

    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 before- only stopping to briefly apologize for botherin...
  15. If I refused to care for every single patient with whom I had moral disagreements, I'd likely rarely work.
