    TrudyRN replied to shug1539's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know exactly what you wrote but you struck a nerve with someone. No, do not go into detail when you apply for jobs now. Just say as little as possible, in charts and in interviews. It's...

  4. Does this sound strange to you?

    TrudyRN replied to inquiry123's topic in General Nursing

    You were wise to not get involved. Yes, to all of your questions about documenting, etc. No, I have seen clinics hit wee tiny babes with multiple, multiple vaccines and just send them out right...

  5. Does this sound strange to you?

    TrudyRN replied to inquiry123's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to anonymously call the school district DON and inquire of her, without naming the employee, the school, or any other identifying information. It doesn't sound totally kosher to me. If...

    TrudyRN replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

    The patient was able to eat and sit in the dining room BEFORE the wife got him on NPO status and BEFORE she got him on the morphine. I think the financial devastation is a factor that Americans need...

    TrudyRN replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

    If it's a discussion board and if you are free to say what's on your mind, then I guess I also am free to discuss, opine, and let someone know that their posts would be easier to read if they would...

    TrudyRN replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

    TrudyRN replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

    You make some good points but your post would be easier to read if you used periods and capitals.

    TrudyRN replied to wantsthebest's topic in General Nursing

  20. Pregnant: What do I really care about it the hospital?

    TrudyRN replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    No more advice to give, as the above posters did a great job. I think, though, that you should ask your doctor. Avoid TB. I fully agree about lifting. Ease up on doing it. Pregnancy really is a...
