1. Verbal abuse in the OR

   Crumbwannabe replied to JaneRNBSN's topic in Operating Room

   I did check laws...recording in some states is considered to be a form of 'keeping notes'. And I agree, one must be careful. There are a variety of ways of being careful if you want to think about it.

2. Drug seeking patients?

   Crumbwannabe replied to butter's topic in Safety

   Isn't immediate treatment for hyperglycemia or hypertension; or buying laxatives or decongestants "drug seeking"? Of course it is. If I go to my M.D. because I have an abcess and need antibiotics, I am seeking a drug, otherwise, I wouldn't be sitting...

   Carry a digital microrecorder. They're cheap. Play hardball if that's what he wants. No one has to know you carry it, just transfer the day's events to tape, leave it anonymously in the O/R director's and the surgeon's box. Or the media, as someone s...

   Crumbwannabe replied to SRbear's topic in Pain

   srbear, why did you do that to yourself? i understand, believe me, i started the same thing once myself. after a couple of days i called my doc, explained, and he helped me start over, prescribing a different narc. i left the imprint of my fist in a...

5. RN's w/chronic pain, using narcotics

   Crumbwannabe replied to SRbear's topic in Pain

   Do you want a doc performing surgery on you while in severe pain, needing to sit down,perhaps lie down for a few minutes to regain focus? I'd prefer to have my surgery done by a surgeon who is comfortable and not hastening the procedure to get it ove...

6. New to Allnurses.com/Nursing ratios??

   Crumbwannabe replied to BCLadynpink's topic in Geriatric

   Or to (witness the subtle) abuse...Wanna talk about being used? I'm a critical care animal by nature, but I've had plenty of excitement in my life, and so I go in for an interview due to the great 'Chance of a Lifetime' promises. The DON immediately...

8. Expectations of agency nurses

   Crumbwannabe replied to mattsmom81's topic in Agency

   This I love...After 3 weeks I get a call from the ADON (Background, a nursing home closed, so we got like 36 new patients in 3 days) and said something vague about not writing something in the right place, and of course, they needed to be concerned a...

10. I made a med error

    Crumbwannabe replied to southern_rn_brat's topic in Geriatric

    you look for trends, not isolated occurances if you seek to improve a person's performance. second off, anyone who hasn't made a med or treatment error either has an angel on their shoulder, or more likely is a damned liar.

11. Male nurses who cook

    Crumbwannabe replied to Crumbwannabe's topic in Men

    I've been told the argument about surplus population and such, and while I don't argue that a person should not kill animals, It's just not for me. What infuriates me is people who simply go out for the kill, rather than for the comradere or sportsma...

    Crumbwannabe replied to southern_rn_brat's topic in Geriatric

    They make the most marvelous little digital recorders these days that can be easily hidden on your person when you go in to see DONs and such. If you are recording a conversation and one party knows it is being recorded, it's legal. And you happen to...
