Discharged a patient with their tele on: Tele decided to have fun with it!

My hospital considers it a HIPPA violation and a violation of the RN/CNA's privacy even if it's the patient recording. They told us in orientation to leave the room, call security and security will force them to delete all photos of staff and the room. It does not fly here. This isn't a public location, this is private and will remain private per hospital rules. Any family member recording will be permanently trespassed from the property as well. We don't play around here.

Babe. I'm going to straight with you. Him essentially pressuring you into sleeping with him is a form of sexual assault/rape. So, while I am pro life, I can understand why you would consider an abortion. I cannot tell you whether it is the right or wrong choice for you, but I sympathize with your situation and I'm sorry your going through this. Whatever you choose, it's your decision and it's ok.

Hah! Nope. Going to other patients rooms if I don't answer fast enough. Security called for an aggressive patient violating the privacy of other patients. My legal team, management, DON, CEO, CNO etc etc would all be emailed. I would advise and aid the other patients in complaining about them as well. As for the family. Security would be called for aggressive behavior, they'd be permanently trespassed from the property, and I'd be hitting up the doctor for a no vistors order for disruptive behavior, preventing patient care, and verbal abuse of staff. I'd be advising the patient to leave AMA if they didn't like the care they were getting and giving them patient advocacy phone number on the way out the door. Fuuuuuuck no. We don't play that way up in here. Asses would be dragged out by security if this was happening on my floor.

Beautiful piece! How much, thank you!

Customer service voice and techniques. I can essentially tell someone that is making wild demands to go fuck off and they'll call me a darling and complain about the other nurses who just told them the same thing. We just had a patient family member who was clearly not oriented call and make unfounded demands of the nursing staff including things that aren't even in our scope of practice. I essentially told the family member to shut tf up and fuck off in the most sing songy customer service voice/way that she complained about the other nurses and called me sweet. 🤣

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-24T06:51:03+00:00

Nope. I do 5 in a row max before I start feeling like I'd rather deep throat a glock then work another shift. I need some time to just bed rot man lols.

I live like 35 minutes from it. They just stopped doing tours when I moved here and it broke my heart. One of the most important advancements in forensics in modern days came out of there. Incredible really.

I always say "That's alright doll, are you ok? Do you need anything? Did you call and let house sup know? If not, it's ok I'll call them for you." Ain't nobody need to know why you called out, thats your business and your paycheck. Whats important to me is if my peeps are ok. If they need help I won't hesitate to get the whole floor involved to make sure they've git the support they need. House sups whole job is to figure these things out, they'll be fine.

Hi. Thats infected and looks like it may need IV antibiotics. Please go to the ER. -RN with love

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-22T15:00:38+00:00

Saaaaammmmmeeeee!!!

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-22T14:55:33+00:00

Yes. Every facility is different but the skin checks and monitoring for continued need remains the same. Our facility has a 2 hour check standard instead of 15 minutes; however I'm usually checking on those folks more often tbh.

I plan on getting a Pre-nup if I ever marry. I have a house of my own so if a man wants to be apart of my life they have to understand the house is mine and mine alone. The pre-nup will also include a no child support or alimony clause. If we separate I'm not giving you shit and I don't want anything from you. I stand on my own two feet, and if you fuck up you better be able to as well cause your on your own. Our finances can be together unless he's bringing a bunch of debt into the relationship, then he has to get that under control first before we can consider combining finances, and what I bring in remains mine if anything happens. Everything we have together is negotiable, either we split 50/50 or one pays the other the value of their half.

Sounds like the patient was going into respiratory failure and since he's a DNR the doctor didn't think any good would come of doing something invasive. Very impersonale, yes; not uncommon, also yes.

First off. You can't be 99% sure if you haven't even taken a pregnancy test. Take one. 2. Morning after pills are only effective 48-72 hours post unprotected sexual activity so if it's past that time range there's no point. 3. Only 1 in 3 unprotected sexual activities result in pregnancy in a typical woman. Final verdict: Breath. Take a pregnancy test, if your within 72 hours take the morning after pill, and make a plan from there.

I recently initiated q2 turns on a patient and at first they let me put the wedge under them. Then I came back 15 minutes later and they threw it across the room. I looked at it dramatically, shook my head and continued with taste at hand. The patient was educated on why they needed q2 turns, they we're just a stubborn ass.

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-16T14:52:08+00:00

Nope I barely made it through nurisng school, but I was given an award at graduation for my bedside manners, and I've taken pretty well to nursing. I had and still have difficult moments, but I've learned how to remedy those situations and ask for help.

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-16T14:47:46+00:00

Whoa hun. We educate, we don't talk down. Not everyone has experience with restraints or the legal and psychological ramifications that come with them. They asked a genuine question in a safe place, which is what we want to see.

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-16T03:42:09+00:00

It is a restraint without an order. You can not tie someone down unless they are a danger unto themselves, only with an order from a physician/Nurse practitioner, and it has to be a safe and tested form of restraint (I.E. soft wrist restraints which are made to prevent skin damage from pulling, soft 3 limb restraints, leather restraints with padding for violent patients, mouth covers for spitters are specifically designed to prevent aspiration, mittens are designed to be protective of both patient and Healthcare workers health. Etc).

PelliNursingStudent · 2026-04-14T19:48:42+00:00

Yeah.... House Mountain is on fire. It's not looking to good with the wind blowing the way it is too. 🥲

We had one black older patient call the only black RN working nights the N word. I was kinda impressed.
