1. Please Help! Major ERROR

   bigbub3000 replied to FLA-RN's topic in General Nursing

   If you do face termination, get a lawyer and sue because you will be being made the scapegoat for the errors of many people, as mentioned by rlaffn and me and others. Don't take all the blame. Fight back. As for your husband, yeah, it's best, in...

2. Please Help! Major ERROR

   bigbub3000 replied to FLA-RN's topic in General Nursing

   Scary, isn't it, that a doctor makes rounds daily (presumably) on his or her hospitalized pt and doesn't see that the pt is now on something he didn't order. Also, the doc who gave the TO should have sought out the chart of that pt to co-sign the TO ...

4. Your Favorite one liner used with patients

   bigbub3000 replied to scaredofshots's topic in Humor

   What does that mean?

5. OK, Cultural question here, please forgive the stupidity.

   bigbub3000 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Alabama

   What's your definition of "fanatic"? The families who wanted a private room in order to pray - were they expecting to not have to pay the higher rate? Or what if a sick person needed that bed? Could they not pray somewhere else - maybe the hospital...

   Ah, yes, the old VS under the hijab and abaya. So, uh, how did your Muslim friends feel about your teasing them?

7. Treated like crap

   bigbub3000 replied to cockynurse80's topic in Geriatric

   it is painful to be ostracized. tolerated but not liked. used and taken advantage of but not have any real friends. well, i guess you have to decide whether to stay or go. personally, if you like the job, i'd stay. let the others leave. or just let t...

8. Aides who go over your head

   bigbub3000 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

   How is it that all staff seem to have the boss' phone number? I doubt I could reach my boss. I have to live with the Shift Supervisor's decisions, stupid or not. This person is new to the facility, knows very little about how things are done becau...

9. Aides who go over your head

   bigbub3000 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

   I think the OP was not made aware that Hurt was on light duty. So she could not have a meeting about that. I advise not responding to threats. Just look the person in the eye and say nothing and go on and do your own work. They will soon realize t...

10. Aides who go over your head

    bigbub3000 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

    She's upset because they went over her head! Didn't give her a chance to fix it! To OP: let it go. Be glad the full time nurse took care of it. I think. It really does sound like much ado about almost nothing, but I do understand why you're ups...

12. Seeking Your Opinions, Please - Coworker Stuff

    bigbub3000 replied to bigbub3000's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like a lawsuit. Very sloppy, so unnecessary.

13. Disorganized Doctors? How To Handle, How To Help

    bigbub3000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    The doctor I usually see does not keep track of labs. He is very bad about filling out forms, like for FMLA, too. One has to get with his assistant, without whom he would be completely lost, I think. She really covers for him, I think, and pulls h...

14. How RN supervisor handled domestic dispute at work?

    bigbub3000 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    She's lucky she didn't get shot. She should have called the police and she should have probably reported suspected child abuse.

15. Pregnant and miserable working

    bigbub3000 replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    Why is she making you wait another week?
