Snarfangel: Alternate title:

Well I vote to append the headline with the above instead of the bedpans line.

Nurse names 20 doctors as possible dads - 20 doctors name nurse as possible slut

Because CNA's change bedpans...not nurses.

This is gonna make one hell of a Maury episode.

whoops wrong thread

If she was a head nurse, none of this would have happened.

Pix or it didn't happen.

Nurses are hot...and ready to party!!!

Yergela Is that from Ishtar? If so it has more visibility in this thread than it did during it's theatrical release.

Back in the days before DNA, a woman in the small town where I lived sued a man for paternity. When the blood test exonerated him, she sued another man. The court refused to hear it.

She's a slut. Booooooooooooooong

"My girlfriend sucked 37 docs!"
"In a row?"

Iogruszed, IIRC it's from "Spys Like Us."

Nurses are hot...and ready to party!!!

15-20 docs? Yikes... it's a stupid physician who jumps into that situation. There are plenty of nurses out there who seem to go into nursing with the express goal of snagging a physician as a husband... any way they can. They're a minority, but they're out there, and even the interns and residents quickly learn to avoid these women like the plague.

It's also not wise to inject romance issues into your workplace environment. As the old saying goes, "don't get your honey the same place you get your money."

I like "don't dip your pen in the company ink"

I don't believe she slept with all 20... article is truly useless without pics. If we had them, we could debate whether or not she could bag 20 doctors.

Predalien: Corrupt nurses: you know who you are. Stop eating the foods that make you the corpulent blob that you are and tend to your patients.

Whoah.

I have never seen a rant like this against nurses.

What happened? Something specific?

I mean, I have heard some bad stories here and there, but overall, they seem an okay lot.

The article clearly states that it was 15, not 20. It's terrible how these things get blown out of proportion.

This thread is useless without a sexy nurse pic.

Predalien: is right.

When my late grandmother was last hospitalized, she struggled against her mechanical ventilator. She almost had another heart attack. Two halls away, the bloated brood of nurses sat around giggling & gossiping like nothing was wrong.

Remember: hospitals bury their mistakes.

Can you say loose XXXXX ????????

I think Predalien gets his ideas about nurses from her:

Doctor, is there nothing I can take/
(I said doctor) to relieve this bellyache?

Predalien

Weird. I'm 5'7', 170 pounds, male, and am a nurse practitioner.

Care to explain that since you said all nurses are fatasses?

Predalien: Anyhow - my grandma is in Heaven. I have no regrets.

Damn dood, that sucks.

I_Make_Jebus_Cry

you fatass.

/I keed.

Predalien

If your grandmother actually died of a PE (pulmonary embolism) then the medical examiner's report would have stated that.

The hospital isn't the one that performs the autopsy.

Congenital heart failure? Or did you mean CONGESTIVE heart failure? A congenital heart defect is there since birth.

I Make Jebus Cry: Yes, CNAs like myself change the bedpans. NPs are more like PAs than floor nurses in most places so I don't think you should take the fat nurse post to heart.

HeAintHeavy:It's also not wise to inject romance issues into your workplace environment.

You'd think that, being in a hospital, they'd have had access to something that would have prevented the 'injection' of 'romance issue' into her 'environment'.

nurses != doctor , it's not a nurses job to diagose a patient, they are there to assist them. if you are going to blame anyone blame the doctor

They call it making rounds for a reason, you know.

puppethead

sadly, I often end up taking the place of the physician.

Predalien

I've seen my share of mistakes by doctors...however, it is very, VERY often the nurses that catch those mistakes and correct them.

And while it's been some time since I've been an R.N., I can vouch that most of the nurses I know are very, VERY serious about their jobs, and would NEVER harm someone out of laziness.

I can speak from firsthand experience when I say that from the time you enroll in nursing school, you spend literally the rest of your life with various medical things running through your head 24/7. It gets to the point where it nearly becomes impossible for you to turn your brain off in order to get a decent night's sleep. I can't count how many times I've tried to take a shower and found myself repeating pharmacology charts to myself.

Of course, I've seen my share of fatass nurses, but using their size to suggest that they are incompetent is just dumb. Have YOU tried to pass an advanced pharmacology class lately?

#19 and #20 had to swim in.

This is how the law actually works (in a hospital setting)

The nurse often does an initial evaluation. The doctor takes the nurse's evaluation, reviews it, checks on the patient and looks for anything the nurse may have missed. The physician then makes a diagnosis.

The physician may prescribe medications. The nurse administers the plan of care the doctor orders.

However, the law states that the nurse is ALSO responsible should the doctor's plan of care harm the patient, because the nurse should know better being as he/she is a trained medical professional. In other words, if the doctor orders medications, and two of them have fatal side effects when mixed, the nurse should know this and NOT administer the medication...call the physician, and notify him/her of the error.

To wrap it up:

The nurse: responsible for the initial evaluation and for implementing the plan of care

The doctor: makes the diagnosis and prescribes the appropriate medications/interventions.

I_Make_Jebus_Cry: Because CNA's change bedpans...not nurses.

All nurses do is....
pass meds
take orders (written)
do discharge instructions ie: what meds to take.

They don't....
get patients out of bed
on or off the commode or toilet
wipe butts
place or empty bed pans
walk patients in the hallways

Predalien might have sounded a little hostile but isn't really far off the mark.

I would use LAZY and over paid to describe most of the nursing staff where I work. They think that because they can take direct orders from the doc they are some how above the other staff. They also get 4% raises when the rest of the hosp. staff gets 3%.

I have also had nurses tell me "oh sure you can get the patient up" (I'm an OT). When I checked the chart they were scheduled for a doppler to rule out a DVT or had a hemoglobin of 6.

Nice....

Predalien

a very narrow view of the people who will most likely save your ass sooner or later.

okay back to the story.

Can someone explain to me how her hobagness is the management's problem?

And shouldn't a nurse, with some knowledge of physiology, be able to narrow it down since any moron knows women can rarely get pregnant more than 5-7 days a month?

Maybe she was an extreme slut.

btw count me in on the nurse haters. They're competent sure, no doubt there. Seen plenty of hot ones too. The problem, IME, is they tend to be know it all biatches who forget they did not go to med school and have an authority complex. I laugh my ass off when my friends write birth plans. Good farking luck with the nurses giving a shiat if it's not PROTOCOL even if Dr. Naturale signs off on it.

I've never once encountered a nurse who, without a doctor present, was not a complete farking authoritarian c*nt riding on her power trip.

I_Make_Jebus_Cry To be fair most of the physicians I deal with truly wish they could spend more time with their patients, but they are swamped. Most of the RNs and LPNs I work with wish they could do more direct patient care, but they're swamped with charting and other crap. As a CNA/ Monitor Watcher/ Unit Assist I also do what I can to pick up the slack. The system is broken and we all know it. We do what we can and still get chewed out by the families because we don't act as professional as they think we should. They don't seem to realize that if we tried to absorb all the human misery that surrounds us we'd all be suicidal. I don't think they care, they just want to everything to go back to the way it was.

All that aside, who arks 20 guys weather or not their doctors? I mean I work with some grade A hotties but if I was given an opportunity to be #20 I'd pass.

Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm drinking until the hurt goes away.

that may be the only thing the nurses do if they're only LPNs.

And for the record, I'm an N.P. I have a master's degree. Just last wednesday I was working with an alzheimer's patient who was incontinent. You're a huge piece of shiat if you're working with a patient who soils himself and you call a CNA instead of taking care of the patient yourself.

As I said, MOST nurses that I know take their jobs seriously, and would NOT leave a patient laying in a bed with soiled briefs because they didn't think it was their job.

I have thrown RN's off my unit for that before. YES..it IS your job. Your job as a nurse is to take care of the patient..I dont give a fark if you don't like changing diapers...find a different job if you dont like it..but as long as you are a nurse, it is YOUR job.

However, CNA's are the ones whose sole job is to go from room to room and check on the patients. The RN's and such are usually busy with more technical work...which is why CNA's are USUALLY the ones that end up doing it.

But like I said, if I EVER caught a nurse leaving a patient soiled when she left the room, she didn't work with me for long after that.

Now THAT..is a problem no matter WHERE you go. Thank the lawyers.

The system is broken and we all know it. We do what we can and still get chewed out by the families because we don't act as professional as they think we should.

i'll agree with you 1000%. The first thing that needs to change? A law that limits the number of patients that can be assigned to nurses and CNA's. Something reasonable like 10-15 max. I can remember days when I was in charge of an entire WING (50-60 patients) at a time. How the FARK are you supposed to give each patient 100% attention when you have 10 call lights flashing at any given moment?

Some states have tried to pass a law like this, only to have the hospitals lobby to shoot it down b/c it means they will have to actually hire more nurses.

This is a REAL problem. There is NO way one nurse can properly care for more than 10 or 15 patients at a time, but hospitals and nursing homes will reguarly try to push the nurse beyond his/her capacity in order to save a buck....at the expense of the patient's wellbeing.

They don't seem to realize that if we tried to absorb all the human misery that surrounds us we'd all be suicidal. I don't think they care, they just want to everything to go back to the way it was.


That was a hard lesson to learn.

my wife is going back to school to be a nurse... good thing she's not a slut

If I'm not mistaken, Tera Patrick is a nurse.

I_Make_Jebus_Cry: But like I said, if I EVER caught a nurse leaving a patient soiled when she left the room, she didn't work with me for long after that.

You are one of the few, I've seen it happen too many times, that and finding patients who have been laying in a "brief" that has obviously been soiled and re-soiled. Very farking sad.

puppethead: Oh man, don't get me started on OT and PT. People think surgeons have egos..

Don't make me beat you with a dressing stick!! :-0

But is it the nurses that are leaving them...or the CNAs...or both?

sounds like a few people where you live need to have their licenses revoked.
