  1. Relocate to Sunny California?????

    TrudyRN replied to JaVisRN's topic in General Nursing

    Why not visit California, various locations, and see for yourself,

  2. Have you ever been accused of stealing? How did you deal with it?

    TrudyRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you are directly accused, I'd keep mum and keep on the job there, especially since you sound like you are in dire straits economically. I guess I'd mention it to my employer, although I'm not...

  3. Nurses who are MOMS, what job would you take?

    TrudyRN replied to ajaxgirl's topic in General Nursing

    What is a .5 night shift

  4. I'll just sit over here and eat bon-bons.

    TrudyRN replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    So, Canoehead, what did you do about it? Or what do you plan to do about

  5. Pt stole from a worker?/drama

    TrudyRN replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

    isn't it nice to know how much the employer thinks of you? they need to put lockers there for you. and not in the break room or anywhere else where they are not visible at all

    TrudyRN replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

  7. Pt stole from a worker?/drama

    TrudyRN replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Nursing

    Who was crying, the pt or the aide? I don't see why the sitter couldn't have checked the pt's belongings. Or she could have called the police. She needs a fanny

  8. Desperate for advice!!!!

    TrudyRN replied to dbledutchs's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Do the LPN school if at all possible. Try to find ways to cut costs at home, maybe you can work at a job very part-time to have a few dollars coming in, take in a boarder, move in with your folks, do...

  9. Is there a Doctor in the house? Working a code without one in an LTAC

    TrudyRN replied to MrsWampthang's topic in General Nursing

    What is an LTAC? I agree with the others. This sounds very wrong and very dangerous. Perhaps an anonymous call to CMS, JCAHO, the newspapers will bring forth change. First, though, are you absolutely...

  10. Triage sucks!!! Any tips??

    TrudyRN replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in Emergency

    I don't suppose it would do much good to post a huge sign that says: We see everyone eventually but we see the sickest and most seriously injured first, no matter who got here before them. No matter...

  11. I'll just sit over here and eat bon-bons.

    TrudyRN replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    How do you know

  12. Male Urologic Dilemma

    TrudyRN replied to 58flyer's topic in General Nursing

    A cysto is a pretty brief procedure and requires only a doc, conceivably, after someone prepares the room, gets you on the table, does the paperwork, things like that. There might not have to be a...

  13. The best place

    TrudyRN replied to tutamkamom's topic in General Nursing

    Too cold in the Northeast, too humid in the deep South, no ocean and too much humidity in the Midwest, too much rain in the Northwest, too cold in the Rockies, earthquakes along the West Coast, and...

  14. Should I apply for a job at this time?

    TrudyRN replied to DoubleblessedRN's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have insurance

  15. Offered the ONLY full-time day shift position (actually just told I was taking it)...

    TrudyRN replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    The one who is being bumped apparently can't cut the mustard and they think you can. Not your fault. No guilt required. She won't be mad at you, she might be upset with the bosses. Just be nice to...

  16. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It's true that we don't know the whole story. As for sensing, anyone of any race can do that. Why would that ability be limited to blacks? People in general can sense things. Also, why in the...

  17. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No more than the father could provide reputable documentation proving that our friend here is racist. But you have now motivated me to research it I will post if I find out anything. Of course, you...

  18. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They weren't supportive. They made her keep caring for the child instead of getting her out of harm's

  19. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    why,

  20. Verbal orders vs Telephone orders

    TrudyRN replied to DEB52's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a stat box in which you keep a few doses of things you might need quickly? Like potassium, benadryl, antibiotics, narcan, things like

  21. Verbal orders vs Telephone orders

    TrudyRN replied to DEB52's topic in General Nursing

    The heat and ice, transfer from LTC to ER unless absolutely dire emergency, even a bandaid, for God's sake - all are by MD order where I work in America. Maybe different in UK. Not all hospitals...

  22. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with every word. This is how "advanced" our society now is. :trout: :angryfire

  23. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You must henceforth refuse to care for this child. I mean it, friend. Don't walk, run from this insane man. He will doubtless sue at the drop of a hat and you have a perfect right to completely refuse...

  24. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why? Because of training and their own prejudice. Chill out? Sure, if ALL the people will decide and choose to do

  25. Accused of being racist - how to handle?

    TrudyRN replied to Susan9608's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What he saw was her taking care of his child. That is certainly racist. If she has a lick of sense, she will refuse this child as a patient ever again. Next time, he might "see" her abusing the...
