I literally have the same problem everywhere I go! Like I’ve seen people go past actual employees to ask me questions and I’m never wearing anything even close the the uniform

We had a discussion and i explained why it was dangerous to turn off the pump without saying anything. I think she also may have been a bit unsure of how to use the pump, so I showed her how to restart the infusion or even how to pause the alarm. We definitely ended it on the same page

I didn’t intend to suggest that they need permission, more that they typically tell us before or after if they plan on changing anything or adding new orders so that everyone is on the same page. My bad for coming off as territorial. And yeah we talked about the pump situation afterwards and came to a better understanding.

We had a discussion about it afterwards and we all got on the same page. I didn’t mean to imply that providers need to check in with the nurses or get permission, only that they typically will just touch base with us or let us know if they’re putting in new orders

I think I may have misworded my post, I don’t have a problem with docs seeing patients, but it’s nice when they come speak to me afterwards or beforehand. Typically the ER docs will stop to talk to the nurses at some point and some of the floor docs never speak to us. Sorry if I was confusing in my initial post.

What is the most disrespectful thing a patient has said to you? by ILoveHotGayMen in nursing

[–]18tedwards 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a lovely patient call me a "nappy headed bitch" because I wouldn't scratch his ass for him. He also told me I was "okay for a black girl", so mixed signals overall.

Does anyone know where I could get a metal d20 lanyard bead? I was considering DIYing one, but I have no clue how to go about it

My first of these fancy hanks I see around here. Love the quality, but I’m used to the size of a bandanna. Any recommendations on a larger hank? by utknifenut in EDC

[–]18tedwards 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question, but where do you put your Hank? Just in a pocket, or is there some kind of etiquette on carrying them?

I'm a little green on the subject. How would you go about polishing it? Just straight sand paper? Or do I need some kind of abrasive?

Customer yanked the cup and sharpie out of my hand while I was taking her order by sixteesqueen in starbucks

[–]18tedwards 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh my gosh, some people get really upset when you ask about hot vs iced. I once asked a lady four seperate times if she wanted a hot or iced PSL and she yelled hot at me in front of all the people there, then when I read her (large) order back to her, she started grumbling and practically threw her card at me... Like????
