  1. Night Folks, I need your input!

    TrudyRN replied to In_Chantress's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: Well, that would certainly be a graphic lesson. It might wreak havoc, though, with your relationship. I think the poster above who said you should figure out what your DH is really saying...

  2. Thanks to the Ca. BRN

    TrudyRN replied to JailRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad they have improved their service and are using some sense. I'm very sorry about your husband's passing on. Are you

  3. What would you call "Practicing Medicine"

    TrudyRN replied to RADONC-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Nurses may not diagnose or prescribe. We are to observe and report departures from normal. I know it's unrealistic and old-fashioned and paternalistic and frustrating but that's the law. And unless...

    TrudyRN replied to RADONC-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I see no problem with

  5. Why aren't they calling me back?

    TrudyRN replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    Any luck

  6. Ranken Jordan

    TrudyRN replied to christmasjmt's topic in General Nursing

    A former neighbor worked a shift there and it was HORRIBLE. It was a long time ago, 11-7, the only other nurse in the building was a staff nurse. Friend was Agency, first time working there, not a...

  7. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    TrudyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am driven mad when I see people misspell certain words. And I see it every day here on the Board. As for attorneys, let me tell you - lately, I have seen attorneys and even teachers do a whole...

  8. Dear Doctor Imajerk: (vent)

    TrudyRN replied to kcalohagirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, we really should not carry on a war of words in the chart, though. Plaintiffs' attorneys eat that stuff up, or so I was always taught. I just call whenever I need them, although I do try hard...

  9. Dear Doctor Imajerk: (vent)

    TrudyRN replied to kcalohagirl's topic in General Nursing

    He won't realize it and he won't be thankful. He will be like the surgeon who took credit for getting a CXR on my beautiful, dying, precious Mom after I, yes, I informed him of her cough and...

  10. Lost Patient's Wedding Ring

    TrudyRN replied to stoli's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe your preceptor lost it. And who else was in the

  11. Just curious...Do nurses hate Birth Plans?

    TrudyRN replied to chnc1024's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think her plan is perfectly fine. She wants a healthy baby, she doesn't want anyone stealing it, she doesn't want forceps marring it, she wants to be au naturel. I guess it should be told to the...

  12. St. Johns Mercy

    TrudyRN replied to christmasjmt's topic in General Nursing

    Can you be a bit more specific as to just what it is that Admin does to the

  13. How do you go about handling a rude Dr.

    TrudyRN replied to RN 4 U's topic in General Nursing

    Don't quit because of him. Just try to remember that he might be exhausted. If that doesn't help, be extra sweet. Hand him a mint or some other hard candy and say, "Now be sweet. I know you're having...

  14. Lost Temper -- Yelled/Swore at Patient

    TrudyRN replied to UhOh's topic in General Nursing

  15. Community member complained about her care to me

    TrudyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    "Work" is a 4 letter word, love

  16. Community member complained about her care to me

    TrudyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    If any lab tech talked to me or my family that way, I'd slap the livin' hay out of them. :angryfire:angryfire Not really but I would be on the phone to Admin in a heartbeat. At the very least, I'd...

  17. How do I get my job back after resigning?

    TrudyRN replied to PostpartumNurse'07's topic in Canada

    I don't think they are going to rehire you even if you do rescind your resignation. Look elsewhere and good luck. I could be wrong. Please pursue the matter further if you think you can and should....

  18. Personality Disorder Test...how do you stack up?

    TrudyRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Psychiatric

    I think the test is highly inaccurate. Many of the questions are not able to be answered just "yes" or "no" - they require explanation,

  19. Conflict with Charge Nurse

    TrudyRN replied to BethgRN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't say what Loricatus said to say. It is admirable, I think, that you spoke up as YOU did. As to what you should do now: You could secretly tape all conversations with her. Might be illegal in...

  20. Advise needed for a PA who breaks the rules

    TrudyRN replied to uraqt2's topic in Correctional

    OK, I reread your thread. Here are some responses. [quote=uraqt2;2313468]I need some advise. We have a new PA who has never worked in corrections and wants to practice as though he is still practicing...

  21. Advise needed for a PA who breaks the rules

    TrudyRN replied to uraqt2's topic in Correctional

    There is a quiet way to do this. Tell the PA you cannot, in good conscience, give the med but that you will gladly hand him the med bottle and he can administer it himself. Same as you would do with...

    TrudyRN replied to uraqt2's topic in Correctional

  23. Wife is RN had med incident...wondering if going to loose license?

    TrudyRN replied to paparazzi's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it is time to call her insurer. She should not discuss the matter with anyone but her own attorney, who will be obtained for her by the insurer. I hope she doesn't lose her license, I hope...

  24. forgot to flush iv

    TrudyRN replied to big apple's topic in General Nursing

    I know we are dealing with lives and I know we must be as close to perfect as possible but somehow it rubs me the wrong way that a student or anyone would stress about an error that appears to have...

  25. Oops, forgot to chart!

    TrudyRN replied to NurseMeg's topic in General Nursing

    What if it were after 24 hours? Were you not allowed to chart it at all? That sounds
