   Wait, who had alarm fatigue? The quote from the anesthesiologist in the article made it sound like he was turning off the monitors because the nurses had alarm fatigue? I'm not saying this guy was behaving logically, but I really don't understand his...

   doodlebuttRN replied to CharleeFoxtrot's topic in General Nursing

   How about the dream where I am giving report at the end of my shift and I suddenly discover that I was assigned a patient but didn't realize until now, and have not even laid eyes on them? Or the hallway I am working that doesn't have an end, just do...

   They paid for you to get your RN, and expect reimbursement, but expect you to continue working as a secretary (since they do not seem to be interested in hiring you as an RN) for however long it would take to pay them back as your newly minted RN ski...

6. Horrifying medical quack info on the Internet

   doodlebuttRN replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

   Sorta off topic, but I just finished the book Meg that the movie was based on. It had a lot of interesting evolutionary science stuff (don't know how accurate it was, but it sure sounded interesting), and was a really good read. I hate to see movies ...

   If all of a sudden men could get pregnant, the pro-life politicians and right wing hypocrites would change their tune so fast, your head would spin. Can you imagine how quickly things would change?

   doodlebuttRN replied to HealthApollo's topic in LPN/LVN

   I have made an error in the exact same scenario. You reported it right away, followed up with the MD, followed correct procedures. If you get terminated for that error under those circumstances (especially when you had a coworker precepting or shadow...

13. When residents get attached

    doodlebuttRN replied to Lexi256's topic in General Nursing

    It can be difficult, and it was for me. I had very similar interactions with patients when I as a CNA and early in my nursing career. You have to set boundaries and stick with them. It is about a million times easier to set boundaries initially than ...

    I don't have much to add, I just wanted to say that I am so sorry this is happening to you. It sounds like you are accepting responsibility for your errors, and are a conscientious nurse working in a difficult environment. I hope this all gets sorted...

15. Is it abandonment or taking a moment to collect myself?

    doodlebuttRN replied to Mollythenurse's topic in Safety

    Then WHY in the world (if, as your next comment says, you don't believe it isn't abandonment- I can't figure how to quote both posts) would you tell her not to contact her BON (which can be done anonymously) or contact her malpractice insurer (who ar...
