   RestlessHeart replied to Heartbrokennurse11's topic in LPN/LVN

   Years ago I had a Nurse falsify MY blood sugar in my records. I KNEW damn well she never tested it. She said it was something like 150 so she gave me 5U of "R" Insulin. UGH....in less than 15 minutes I took my own blood sugar because I didnt feel ...

10. IVDU pt kept asking for pain meds. Managment kept saying to just give it to her.

    RestlessHeart replied to ella2990's topic in General Nursing

    RestlessHeart replied to TinyLilly's topic in General Nursing

    Id do everything in my power to make sure you were never ever allowed to treat anybody I know or love. Your post smacks of judgement and your words show it.

15. Preventing call-ins

    RestlessHeart replied to Brandi,RN's topic in General Nursing
