1. Pain patients being denied their medication!

   TeriDavisNewman replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Pain

   I get that. However, what is not mentioned is that people will do ANYTHING to stop severe pain--it's the entire reasoning behind torture! When legitimate patients are denied needed pain medication they will do what they need to do to stop pain--be ...

2. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

   TeriDavisNewman replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

   My point was that MY PATIENT ALWAYS COMES FIRST. If you don't see that as being relevant to the topic of this discussion, then I never want to be your patient. What do you do for a code Blue? Tell them you're on your break? Or go to the ladies' roo...

3. Pain patients being denied their medication!

   TeriDavisNewman replied to hppygr8ful's topic in Pain

   I was on Fentanyl patches for pain for 19 years. I made an absolutely sure I used them exactly as directed no matter what--and with TD meds there's no addictive behavior--no med spike to learn to love. Anyone on pain pills for a chronic pain conditi...

   Change doctors. This guy is a sadist--I've seen them so many times. In NO field other than medicine can sadists actively practice their kink on non-consenting individuals. When you go see your next pain doc, take your records and films. Legitimat...

5. Nurse dating former patient?

   TeriDavisNewman replied to mzsuccess's topic in Professionalism

   I never dated a patient, but I did date a bunch of cops and a few dozen docs before I married a cop. You never meet anyone but cops and docs in the ER. I'm the queen of the First and Final date, which has resulted in 3 serious stalking events--BEFOR...

6. Too ugly to be a nurse..?!?

   TeriDavisNewman replied to RandomNurse2b1's topic in General Nursing

   Nursing isn't about how you look. It's what's in your head and your heart. Stop watching General Hospital--they are NOT nurses, they are actresses PRETENDING to be nurses--and get your LPN. Many hospitals will help you upgrade to RN/BSN/MSN if you ...

7. Eating the patients' food?

   TeriDavisNewman replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

   If I NEVER see Jell-O again it will be too soon. Ditto pudding. Our ER was so busy that we would beg to cops to bring us some food. Donuts anyone? LOL

8. RN's and LPN's working as Nursing Assistants?

   TeriDavisNewman replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

   No one seems to have any professional accountability any more. My FIRST duty is to my patient--above all else. I've stood between them and MDs when they were about to Rx a med my patient was allergic to since they don't bother to read the chart hal...

9. Clear Mucous like poop

   TeriDavisNewman replied to worldqueenie's topic in General Nursing

   Are any of these patients taking Metformin/Glucophage? It causes a lot of mucus in the stool and AD pts don't eat well in the late stages.
