  1. No, you can't do that!

    LoveMyRNlife replied to LoveMyRNlife's topic in General Nursing

    This patient would not be safe to leave AMA. If they are alert and oriented and they refuse treatment, that is their right. Unfortunately the patient was suffering because of the family member....

  2. No, you can't do that!

    LoveMyRNlife replied to LoveMyRNlife's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this Hppy but one of our biggest concerns was staff safety on top of trying to help the patient. The family member never left his room and all of the yelling only agitated the patient...

  3. No, you can't do that!

    LoveMyRNlife replied to LoveMyRNlife's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately in this situation, speaking with the patient would not help due to his advanced dementia. This poor patient was a huge fall risk and the family member was demanding he be walked everyday...

  4. No, you can't do that!

    LoveMyRNlife replied to LoveMyRNlife's topic in General Nursing

    The reason I asked what type of facility is that hospitals in my area will discharge patients much quicker than the nonprofit hospitals when this type of situation arises. A little more background,...

  5. Verbal Abuse Is Abuse Too!

    LoveMyRNlife replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I liked this simply to let Ruby know how brave she is for sharing and hopefully helping someone else that has gone through a similar situation. I have experienced some of the same gaslighting and and...

  7. 2018 Lice

    LoveMyRNlife replied to Farawyn's topic in School

    Another trick to find the nits is to use a black light, they glow. Then comb them out with the nit comb. This works well on kids with darker hair. I have also heard that mayonnaise on the hair...

  8. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    LoveMyRNlife replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Where I work we are supposed to get two 15 minute breaks and a half hour lunch that is unpaid. I can count on one hand the number of times I had a 30 minute lunch break. We are expected to take...

  9. Change in field

    LoveMyRNlife replied to Rnbe's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Sour Lemon, if you don't apply then you will never know what they have to offer, or if it would be a good fit for

  10. How did she/he get through nursing school?

    LoveMyRNlife replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    My post was supposed to include this quote as well.

  11. How did she/he get through nursing school?

    LoveMyRNlife replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Why on earth would you bash someone for asking a question to learn? Now if that same nurse kept asking the same question over and over,without retaining the information, that is problematic. We all...

  12. How do you deal with personal attacks at work?

    LoveMyRNlife replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I couldn't agree more Hppy! Some people thrive on conflict to make themselves feel alive. I am dealing with a similar situation and have chosen to move on. Life is too short to deal with that day in...

  13. Mandatory Influenza Vaccine

    LoveMyRNlife replied to AllisonMcTigue's topic in General Nursing

    We are required to get the flu shot every year by a certain date or we are not allowed to

  14. Employee Complaint

    LoveMyRNlife replied to FlyingFishofFury's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I am much like you, never bring my problems to work, team player, always smiling, etc. As a newer RN, and second career, I asked the very same question out of genuine curiosity. I personally do...

  23. Fired Due to Not Being Able to Get to Work

    LoveMyRNlife replied to Studentworker's topic in General Nursing

    This is getting really heated and I think a few things were missed. I am guessing this was not the first time the OP called off and that is why they were fired. Second, the OP said their parents...
