1. What is the worst thing a patient has ever said to you?

   Peggyfaye replied to NurseStephRN's topic in General Nursing

   This behavior wouldn't fly , in our ER. Are you working a tele floor? Where was the Dr. why didn't he/she back you up? Why didn't his admitting MD talk with him & his family about their inappropriate behavior~ I'd take this to the nurse mgr. as s...

2. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

   Peggyfaye replied to Brian's topic in COVID

   Kinda strange that they don't even have the H1N1 available at work right now. (or anywhere else in town.) Pregnant women should not take the live virus nasal spray vaccine & they can request an immunization without the Thimerisol (mercury derivat...

3. Some nurses seriously need their head examined

   Peggyfaye replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

   She should get her first warning...nurses have been fired for less than this. I have been shocked at what nurses have said through the yrs...but this is especially cruel stuff.

4. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

   Peggyfaye replied to Brian's topic in COVID

   I have 33 yrs. experience as an RN, Lamazeteacher. The swine flu was the 1st epidemic that I dealt with as a new grad in '76. I have worked in the ED for over a decade, front lines when it comes flu seasons. So we disagree~because of that you assume ...

   Peggyfaye replied to Brian's topic in COVID

   Interesting you can say "definitely" lamazeteacher...you got a crystal ball? Now that's real scientific. Spreading misinformation? You've got some nerve. Do you work OB or ER?

6. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

   Peggyfaye replied to Brian's topic in COVID

   The Squire~ Measles, mumps, etc. are proven vaccines~ do some reading on H1N1 before anyone dictates what other nurses do to maintain their health. There are plenty of other options besides getting an unproven vaccine. Some of our worst enemies may...

   What century are you working in purple scrubs? Our hospital hasn't done TB tests for years~ not the standard of practice anymore?

8. Do male nurses recieve as much respect from patients as female ones do?INPUT IS GREAT

   Peggyfaye replied to david18's topic in Men

   . ..."you're blaming men because of human nature." What a leap you take sir. Your other comments, ie: "mad @ God"; 'before you ate that apple...". come off as very strange. It's been good to read a number of the posts from the men in n...

   " Re: Do male nurses recieve as much respect from patients as female ones do?INPUT IS G LOL..don't worry. You will get confused with the physicians and when I come in the patient will invariably ask for the nice Dr. who was here yesterday. Statistic...

10. Do male nurses recieve as much respect from patients as female ones do?INPUT IS GREAT

    Peggyfaye replied to david18's topic in Men

    What I've witnessed in the last 4 yrs. has been hard to take. We've got a no. of new grad male nurses in our ER. The patients call them doctors, because they're male, & a few of them don't bother to tell the patient that they are a nurse. They l...

11. Dangerous nurses

    Peggyfaye replied to funmom's topic in Relations

    I still work with a man that I consider a dangerous nurse. (he's in another area of the hospital) We worked together in the ICU/CCU years ago. He was a new nurse & acted like he knew it all , which concerned me as his ICU/CCU preceptor. He was...

12. TNCC or not

    Peggyfaye replied to anniemm's topic in Emergency

    TNCC is a great review for me every 4 yrs. It can feel tedious, long days sitting, lectures, study, tests. The best part are the scenes, created to practice various trauma-types. It gets the nurses working as a team, step by step, concise methods, ...

13. E/D RN official description of job duties?

    Peggyfaye replied to jackson145's topic in Emergency

    To work in our ED, we have to keep up TNCC, PALs or equivilant, ACLS, BLS. Many of us keep up our Neonate recerts also. That's alot. I want to keep up these certifications, as I want to know how to deal with any emergency coming in. It's not a matte...

14. New ED nurses who "know it all"

    Peggyfaye replied to rnflie's topic in Emergency

    It takes alot of guts for a new grad to put themselves into a busy ED. I've precepted many of them & have asked to not do this anymore. It's exhausting & most of them leave after a yr., if they last that long. One of the worst things I've s...
