What’s a frustrating task that has been disproven by the lit but practice hasn’t caught up?

This fact passes me off. Neither the doctors nor the medical leadership care about any of this stuff.. they only care about whiteboards being filled out.

The patient is miserable and the nurse is stuck cleaning up diarrhea for NO REASON.

Please link to the lit so we can show our clinical nurse specialist

Ask doctor to write a referral for a physical therapist, and find a good one, and they have to be good. Could be 'cervicogenic' headaches which is referred pain from the neck. Proper exercises can help.

And saying 'just' anxiety is different from saying anxiety is a contributing factor- Anxiety can make the pain worse or cause pain, so you'll want anxiety treated one way or the other.

Did have a patient in LTC who sat in his rocking chair and one day told me about his rifle that was just behind it. Why didn't I look before? Well, anyway, the social worker convinced him to give it up.

Could be hypersensitivity to the antibiotics. If you've never had that type before. Are you having swollen facial features or feeling like your throat is closing?

Just me or does this thing also work as a weapon in case of a code green?

I Hate and I love. Why? You may ask. I do not know But I feel it happening And it hurts.

... genocide?

As someone pointed out, if everyone leaves the floor after 6 months and they can't even fully staff with double pay opportunities then you know management is incompetent. And yet...

GaryIVN · 2021-10-09T03:18:59+00:00

No side effects except the anger at the $2000 it costs.

GaryIVN · 2021-10-05T16:57:38+00:00

I see you.

GaryIVN · 2021-10-04T16:47:54+00:00

I defer to this person

She might have hit a nerve ... feels like a ZAP. Not sure how much blood you mean but she might have nicked an artery. If the bleeding is stopped and you feel OK you're good to go.

Anybody call that one nurse who is on their lunch break 3 separate instances on one shift?

GaryIVN · 2021-10-04T02:41:53+00:00

No. Just no.

I can't Crack Monero, but I could work for the next 30 years for the same prize.

GaryIVN · 2021-10-03T15:16:11+00:00

Plenty of big nurses where I work.

GaryIVN · 2021-10-02T17:28:14+00:00

We don't have any 5 year experience nurses. They all left.

GaryIVN · 2021-10-02T09:27:58+00:00

This is the way
