I collect antique medical items such as old metal syringes, books, diagnostic equipment, etc. I also collect very old medical journals. I just won this auction on ebay. It's a medical journal from the late 1800's where a doc is apparently complaini...

I got one of my ebay gems in the mail today!!!! It's not one of the journals I've been writing about but instead it is some nursing notes on a single patient from 6/16/1889. It doesn't give a dx but it does give ALL nursing notes. I have to admit,...

Ditto. I'll work a street corner before I work in a hospital as a unit manager again.

ER might be able to help. Is it a med change issue? Something the ER/ED doc can actually do? If writing an Rx will help they probably can help you. If I were you I would start with your psych. Call and push the heck out of the receptionist until you...

Nobody should tolerate a hostile working environment, nobody. However when it comes to customer service, that's life. Nursing is changing for the good and bad and this is one of the changes. The hospitals that are not making these changes are the hos...

And that is exactly what they are too! Our little babies. I have my three pounder and 10 pounder on my lap as I type. I can't move around because it will wake them. LOL

What in the world gives you the idea that I said nothing? Or that any of us said nothing? What do you have to back this up? I would pitch fits, create graphs and charts, demonstrate nursing error corrolates with being short staffed, I did every bl...

Don't paint us all with such a wide paintbrush, not all are like that. I went into management because I was foolish enough to actually believe I could make a difference. I *did* make a difference in a LTC setting but to try to be positive, do the RI...

So you understand the details of a real policemen vs. a wannabe type more than most. I can't imagine anyone asking a real police officer to go to work without a gun. If he is needed to protect others, he should be permitted to do as he has been tra...

What brought this to light? Did someone question the order or how you handled it?

I think you might be assuming that is the case everywhere and that's just not true. I see ads all the time for schools offering vet tech/asst. programs, 9 months and you are out the door working your new career. I've lived in five states and none o...

I don't have a problem with moderation and I never did. That's what I'm trying to tell you. I have nothing to PM you about, I asked a question, you answered, I understand, and that's all. Nothing more.

One thought is to try Crocs brand. The way the shoes fit is to NOT touch the sides of your feet. If they fit properly the only part of the shoe that should touch your foot is the bottom. There should be a bit of air between the sides/top of your f...

I never claimed to have a dispute with moderation. I asked for an education. I didn't realize I needed to keep that hush hush.

I wonder why we don't push for better protection in a hospital. Seriously, why don't we get the same thing the VAs get? How come we pay taxes so others can have protection but we can't? Life is changing and hospitals are changing. We take care of ...

BlueEyes... I believe I need an education here. I'm reading the posts and I'm not seeing what you refer to.

I may be wrong but I believe we all have one, but you can only see your own. You can't see mine but I can. If you are at 0%, you haven't done anything wrong.

That's a good point, Mule. If we are going to insist that our title be protected, REAL policeman have a right to the correct label as well. Yes, there is a huge difference between hospital security and VA Policemen. One has arresting powers, train...

I can't say that I am sitting here with my mouth hanging open, I previously worked with psych patients for many years. I see many issues here that seriously need to be dealt with. Once he is medically stable he will be tx'ed to a more appropriate u...

I have to fess up here. The original post didn't ring true. The reason it didn't ring true is that Mule is a dear dear friend of mine. He's like my big bro. I read the post and thought... nawwww, can't be!!! VA security isn't like security in a ...

I have Pickles the Bunny and she's a cutey but still a big 'ol pain in the butt. She and the Shih Tzu are good friends and the bunny is certainly the alpha, not the Shih Tzu. I can't say I'd ever get another rabbit. While they are cute and full of pe...

Stay in school, get your PA-C, and be the primary caregiver for an Indian reservation. You will handle the farming accidents where someone loses a leg due to industrial equipment to a diabetic, you will deliver babies, you will be everything. You'r...

LOL... can see it now!

Agreed. Not sure what exactly was in his belly but he died due to bleeding out. Something broke open and he vomited massive amounts of aterial blood in a matter of seconds. That is what eventually killed him. How much was already in his belly? I...

Cute CNA... I'd have to disagree. Depending on the state a Chiro has anywhere from 2-6 years of education. When I worked for a Neuro guy our best business came from botched up chiro jobs. A radiologist has a lot more education and can read a film ...
