  1. Humph!

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    Sassy5d replied to TrevyRN's topic in Emergency

  7. New Graduates who don't welcome feedback

    Sassy5d replied to Majain2013's topic in Emergency

    I was confused by your post. Which is why I said forgive me. I was getting mixed messages because 'someone' was telling you they don't need any help. I would assume that whoever is saying they don't...

  8. New Graduates who don't welcome feedback

    Sassy5d replied to Majain2013's topic in Emergency

    Maybe you're focus is off. Are you taking what they are doing too personal? If their stock is down, it will be them suffering when they need it. Out of scope? How so? Documentation off? Isn't that...

  9. What are your pet peeves?

    Sassy5d replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    You guys nailed all my big ones. We have a fast track section and 1 is a main room converted. The cart is usually moved over, jacked up and rails up. It grinds my gears to see people climb 4 feet in...

  12. Honestly, what does documentation get you?

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    I've never once been called out by management for quoting what a pt says. Fbombs, c word, b word the whole 9. Had another 1 yesterday. Long history of narcotic rx only at ER's for every sort of...

  13. Honestly, what does documentation get you?

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    Sassy5d replied to RunawayN's topic in Emergency

    I wore blood on my scrubs for weeks. Well, I should say, had lots of blood on my scrubs that I had to change. That comes with practice too. It's a lot of hand eye practice. I would get the lines and...

  17. Honestly, what does documentation get you?

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    I know she will walk in 1 day, or drove in with an actual cardiac event. I guess I was just venting on her behaviors. There are plenty of cp pts that come in that are not ordered iv morphine though....

    Sassy5d replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

  21. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Sassy5d replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Isn't there some sort of guideline where EMS can refuse transport? Chapped lips? But I guess in the same instance, everybody would have chest pains then

    The end of the month abdominal hunger pangs came early this month. I'm wondering if it had anything to do with a holiday at the start of the

  25. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    Sassy5d replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    It's a half giggle/half face palm at the amount of girls that come in thinking we're dumb. They just can't be pregnant cuz they don't have sex. Ill never forget the female that came in, said she was...
