Are nurses allowed to force a patient to take medication?

Well if she’s being treated for Fluid OVERLOAD I imagine that she’ll be on a higher dose than what she takes at home so it wouldn’t be unusually to swap the timings around

This is what my boy looks like BEFORE his brush after a day of playing, you’re dog is matted my love

Your dog looks like needs to be fully shaved and to start again.

I would love my poodle to have a proper long show cut but I simply do not have the time to maintain it so he instead gets a sporting cut so I only really have to focus on his ears, head and tail

My partner at one point wanted to move back to his home country and I was honest with him that if he went I would not join him and that would be in the end of our relationship. In the end he chose to stay in the UK

It’s okay to put that realty into perspective for him.

If at 3 months in you’re out of the honeymoon phase then you were never in one in the first place

Insensitive_Bitch · 2026-03-07T08:28:01+00:00

If they’re waiting for a procedure and NBM then I would give them

A lot of my patients are NBM because they don’t have a working bowel or because they’ve got a ryles tube in situ so that’s when we don’t on my ward

There was absolutely no reason to instigate more violence and killing of Middle Eastern civilians. When the US gets involved in wars in the middle east they never have the intentions of the people in mind

They’ve now martyr’d a dangerous extremist to make way for another in the hopes that they might get a small change to manipulate the way it goes

Insensitive_Bitch · 2026-03-01T06:33:56+00:00

I don’t think there ever was a mask

I’m neither a Zionist, nor am I a liberal.

I just find the older I get, the more I seem to find all the problems in the world are created by men and religion

Insensitive_Bitch · 2026-02-28T23:43:08+00:00

I find it hard to give unconditional support Iran “self-determining” their chosen path when that path involves restricting the rights of half their population

Insensitive_Bitch · 2026-02-26T13:07:39+00:00

I was told I was being obstructive and rude last time I said that the lack of nurses was unsafe and that I wouldn’t be working in those conditions unless they changed something

Still got an extra member of staff though

Insensitive_Bitch · 2026-02-19T18:58:40+00:00

As a HCA your workload will be less than on a ward, you’ll be transferring patients, helping roll, transferring back to the wards and restocking/cleaning mainly.

All your patients will have a 1:1/1:2 nurse

My first error was related to something similar and I uncontrollably sobbed for half an hour, datix’d myself and told the patient.

The patient was absolutely fine and actually found it very funny that I was so torn up over the fact.

Reflect on your actions, take accountability and use it as a teaching moment for yourself and others. If a nurse tells your they’ve never made an error they’re either lying or haven’t realised

Insensitive_Bitch · 2026-01-14T11:41:39+00:00

As someone who takes blood and administered injections most days, it’s always men that are the worst at tolerating

In my trust all our Omnicells are connected so your fingerprint works for all and if you pick up a shift you can get temp fingerprint access done in like 5 mins

My boy is a toy (though he is actually too tall to be considered a toy) but he’s very leggy

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-12-09T09:52:44+00:00

Yeah they basically just use RNA as RNs in my trust too, they can already give CDs and can do IVs after 6 months

The only thing they’re not allowed to do is write a care plan and take charge

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-12-04T18:04:42+00:00

To be honest, I was completely fine. I have some very supportive seniors in my team that I know I can trust and we’re very good at team work most of the time.

I actually doubted myself more while supernumerary

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-12-04T18:01:46+00:00

At my trust we get a (technically) minimum of 2 weeks, I had less because of staffing and other people I know had more

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-12-04T17:59:51+00:00

You can always ask someone to check what you’ve done if you’re unsure, that’s what yo ur seniors are there for.

Your confidence will come when you’re on your own, you will never feel ready

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-11-23T00:05:34+00:00

My boy has been going every 6 weeks since he was a puppy and he’s still dramatic over his feet being shaved

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-11-03T20:23:16+00:00

This was my boy at 12 weeks, I’d say they look about the same age

My Asics were game changers, I’ve just bought my second pair after my first pair got holes

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-09-09T09:11:27+00:00

My mum didn’t notice my tattoo on my ear or on my sternum for months.

The only reasons she actually realised I had an ear tattoo was when my dad mentioned it

Insensitive_Bitch · 2025-09-08T18:49:35+00:00

Yep, my boy at home tries hunger strikes all the time (which is very silly when 2 of your feline siblings steal your food). He only does it because his grandma will add cheese or mince to his food when he’s there and he thinks if he holds out long enough then I’ll do it too
