  1. breaks

    TrudyRN replied to charlies's topic in General Nursing

    Leah, I know it's hard to realize that you nurses are your own worst enemies. But they have you under their thumb because you guys stay there. Only you guys can take yourselves out from

  2. Question about Hemodialysis Nursing

    TrudyRN replied to VieraGrl1030's topic in General Nursing

    Can you go directly to work now in a Hemo unit? If so, do it. If you have to go to school, you'll have to weigh cost, etc. into your

  3. Employee Accident

    TrudyRN replied to BeHappy!'s topic in General Nursing

    The ignorant ejaculation of the physician alone is enough reason to GET A LAWYER. Worker's comp or not, GET A LAWYER. Shoddy workmanship, doctor's totally non-caring statement, manager's lie and...

  4. No room for errors?

    TrudyRN replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    Mistakes are ok? What planet do you nurse on, Tazz?

  5. No room for errors?

    TrudyRN replied to heartlover07's topic in General Nursing

    That doctor was so messed up. He should have screamed for a heart surgeon, not a cardiologist. How'd the patient do? Better yet, I'm confused as to how this is the nurse's fault. :uhoh21: :uhoh21:...

  6. Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    TrudyRN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Your stepfather was a stinker, true. What a jerk. And yes, you did get where you are by the sweat of your brow. Many of us have done it, as best we could. And those of us who were taught that we...

  7. Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    TrudyRN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I too am reluctant to totally trash what little bit remains of our precious, already gasping-their-last American freedoms, I think it is ironic that Jefferson, whom you quote, was a slaveholder....

  8. This has been really getting on my nerves lately...

    TrudyRN replied to GregRN's topic in General Nursing

    No, it's not slanguage. :uhoh21: Perish the thought. It's misspelling. Occurrence (not occurrance). We have really got to teach people how to spell. The glaring mistakes we make here really need...

  9. What are my options

    TrudyRN replied to ertravelrn's topic in Travel

    I'm not sure why it's your problem, once you have reported it to the supervisor, physician(s), head nurse/nurse manager, charge nurse, and your agency. I guess you could get the state Board of...

  10. Still think we have the best Health care in the world?

    TrudyRN replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    very scary and makes me angry that we are less important than

  11. More on I Was Told to Stay Home Tonight

    TrudyRN replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are wise to be looking for a new place to work. If you want to know what the truth is, though, why not just talk to

  12. Nurse Manager is a Bully

    TrudyRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

  13. Nurse Manager is a Bully

    TrudyRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Suggestion: Just do your work - the licensed nurse's work. The aides and patients will have to get by with whatever number of aides the facility provides. The shortage is not your doing and you should...

  14. Nurse Manager is a Bully

    TrudyRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I got in a little late the other day - spouse wasn't back with the Conostoga. For 27 years, I have almost never called off or been late, I have worked the OT that most others turn down, I never c/o...

  15. Help me understand Med Aides

    TrudyRN replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to check with your state Board of Nursing and with some attorneys for a true, definitive answer. Personally, I don't see how you can be held responsible if someone else makes an...

  16. I need encouragement!

    TrudyRN replied to autopsy's topic in General Nursing

    You sound totally normal to me, and very sweet and dedicated. Be patient, persevere. Where is your Instructor??? She is, indeed, supposed to very close by you and your fellow students. Also,...

  17. Can CNA do an accucheck?

    TrudyRN replied to QuigRN's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  18. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    TrudyRN replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    I wish I'd gotten my MRS degree with a doctor. Sigh. I wouldn't be in the jackpot I'm in now. Unless, of course, he'd have run off with some younger babe after a few years. You just never...

  19. **nurses Who Eat Their Young Should Be Kicked To The Curb***

    TrudyRN replied to suziesunshine's topic in General Nursing

    For a closed thread, there are a lot of posts. :nuke: I think cruelty can be found in any line of work, any group of workers. Nursing is not immune to it, we know. Neither, though, is any other...

  20. Providing Medical Care To Child Molesters

    TrudyRN replied to mammaoftwo's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, just do what you have to do. It sounds, though, like, given your history, that you maybe shouldn't be involved in this person's care. At least not more than

  21. I Need Days Off for My Own Mental Health!

    TrudyRN replied to PsychRN-Kris's topic in Psychiatric

    Let your answering machine screen your

  22. Undermining Authority

    TrudyRN replied to RunningWithScissors's topic in General Nursing

    68 is pretty low. Maybe it accounts for her mental status. People know their own bodies. I think the doc is a little extreme. As for the rest, I don't quite know what to say. I'm not sure your...

  23. How long do you typically stay?

    TrudyRN replied to CrunchyLaborRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You need to have a back-up plan in place. You can't count on being able to leave 100% of the time on time. Perhaps your husband can take the kids to school before he goes to work? Does the school have...

  24. Yelling, screaming and ducking the cranky triaged patients

    TrudyRN replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Not sure but you could be in trouble for letting her be run off. What does your Manager

  25. Yelling, screaming and ducking the cranky triaged patients

    TrudyRN replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    I hope your ER has a bullet-proof door that you control so you can decide who gets to come in and when. If this guy shows up, keep him outside until Security is present, I'd say. and they need to...
