  1. The Top Three AN Red Herrings

    I think you are all being terrible, showing complete lack of compassion towards those poor victims. Nursing students are never at fault, and all your co workers have to continously update facebook and be late, they are blameless. i think you are all ...
  2. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    I believe you also asked what if the OP had been by herself..well if she had been by herself i can probably bet you money the triage nurse would have assisted her to the bathroom. as to the above remark, it is also highly indicative of what is wrong ...
  3. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    After all these posts i am still waiting on the OP to explain to me what great harm was done to her by the triage nurse. Yes the nurse's comments may have come across as rude, but it was a comment ..get on with your life. I would have done the same ...
  4. Treating pain in ER

    I agree that Butterfly and the other poster had a bad experience, honestly i do. but the issue here for me has become that this site is designed for nurses to use to exchange information,experiences and a safe place to vent. I left this site for a l...
  5. Treating pain in ER

    The brows being rubbed was a direct reference something said that would provide a human connection. For the love of all that is right I will never understand where Non-nurse, nurse wanna be get off passing judgement on my job and what it entails. No...
  6. Treating pain in ER

    And could I suggest that perphaps since according to your listed experience you have never worked in the ED...so you probably don't have a very good sense of what my job is like. I also view your comment as a personal attack and will report it as suc...
  7. Treating pain in ER

    And you and patients like you are what are driving me out of ED nursing. I know that sounds harsh but its the truth. If your doctor is really aware that you have flareups then you and your doctor should have a plan in place to deal with these situati...
  8. Speaking as former LPN, 9 Years in fact, and now a RN for the last 13 , I can say that LPNs are not as qualified as RNs to do an assessment. LPNs are trained for lack of a bettet term to be task oriented. Disease process, critical thinking are not ma...

  10. Bad experience - is this typical?

    It was a really bad decision to read this long very dramatic posting after working a 12hr shift in a level 1 trauma ED. I tried to hang in there with the OP, i tried honestly,but i can only suspend reality for so long and then i have to cry foul. I a...
  11. An open letter to the ER triage nurse

    My first question after reading this post by the OP was why isn't this in the ER section instead of the general nursing? I agree that the triage nurse was rude to the OP but other than that what was her horrible, shameful offense? she didn't smile en...
  12. overreacting or not, that is the question!?!

    I am not trying to be appear callous but I too am questioning why the OP went to her ER...a couple of statements in her post lead me to believe that she expected special treatment since she was an employee....and the fact that she "had to hunt down t...
  13. Okay, why do ER nurses think they're so cool?

  14. Maybe this is off topic, but how can a 3rd year nursing student list exp as 16 years? Just asking.
  15. What kind of pt am I?

    Exactly what I was thinking.
