  1. What would you have said to this??

    TrudyRN replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    And of course it is somehow wrong for nurses to want to cover their backsides while docs and facilities do it all the freaking

  2. What would you have said to this??

    TrudyRN replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    And you'd have been wrong to do so. Never chart dumb stuff like that in the permanent record that could go to court. First, it wastes time. Next, as a juror, I'd be wondering what you, the nurse...

  3. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    TrudyRN replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    She's just being honest, cuddles. Also, do you really think that, once you get licensed, you are going to still want to do what you are doing now? No one is putting aides down, it's just that a lot...

  4. Need Help From Supervisors, Charge Nurses

    TrudyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just wondering if you have problem employees and what you do about them? What are the biggest problems you have to handle and how do you do it? Do your employees like you? Do they try to...

  5. Can Anyone Help Me Think This Through?

    TrudyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am at a point in life where I would like to stop doing things that I don't really much enjoy, such as my work. Unfortunately, I have to have an income. That's ok because I don't really mind working...

  6. Mandatory Overtime

    TrudyRN replied to cmjdlj's topic in General Nursing

    Chuck, have you read the posts before yours? People can and have fought it and wrought improvement.

  7. Mandatory Overtime

    TrudyRN replied to cmjdlj's topic in General Nursing

    We have it and it stinks. Refusing to do it is supposed to result in a write-up but doesn't usually. Even if it does get written up, no one seems to have it held against them. I guess Management...

    Excellent point! Good luck with your business, Dixielee. What is

  9. Need Help From Supervisors, Charge Nurses

    TrudyRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    You know, if they really called you arrogant a's, I think you need to get to their bosses right away. Are those really the words they used? Part of the trouble is that you are in the habit of doing...

  10. So Very Sad

    TrudyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am feeling so low today. Trouble on the job, boss soooo . Thinking I will just get out of Nursing altogether - if I ever regain the energy to figure out what else to do, LOL. Ever had this happen...

  11. Can Anyone Help Me Think This Through?

    TrudyRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, in part. The whole mess w/her has REALLY undermined my confidence. Another thing, though - I think the fact that I'd be going out without getting a going away/retirement potluck or that gold...

    TrudyRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, All. I appreciate your help and encouragement.:pumpiron:

  14. Can Anyone Help Me Think This Through?

    TrudyRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm very ambivalent. That's why I need some help. I never will give up my license. It is much too valuable. And being a nurse is so much a part of who and what I am. It is such a large part of my...

  15. Whats to Enjoy about Nursing?

    TrudyRN replied to sissyboo's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry to say, I agree with all that you said. I, too, am growing old and bitter, I am aware that am employer who loved you yesterday will throw you away tomorrow, colleagues are fickle, the patient or...

  16. HELP! I DON"T WANT TO GO THROUGH CNA first...

    TrudyRN replied to lookingforward's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you have to be a CNA in order to get into LVN school? I agree that BM and other bodily wastes are pukesome but they are a pretty big part of the job. I also agree that being a capable CNA...

  17. No 24 Hr Pharmacy

    TrudyRN replied to MDRRAJ's topic in General Nursing

    We also use the night/weekend locker system. It's stocked fairly well, actually. Also, the floors keep some stock. We can call a pharmacist to come in if all else fails but we try to keep this to a...

  18. Grrr.. Doc just burned me up!

    TrudyRN replied to EmerNurse's topic in Emergency

    Hmm, I'm wondering if there's any way you could slow yourself down somewhat. Not declare a strike or the formation of a nurses' union but just slow down a little. Without jeopardizing patient...

  19. Target of clinical instructor's venom HELP!!!

    TrudyRN replied to nrstob08's topic in General Nursing

    It does my heart good to know she had to do remedial work, LOLOLOLOLOL.:chuckle :roll :chuckle :chuckle :clown: :roll Where is this charming individual

  20. Target of clinical instructor's venom HELP!!!

    TrudyRN replied to nrstob08's topic in General Nursing

    I had a boss like that. She always had to be right. Always. Even when she was wrong. She made angry, snap decisions that were often wrong. It looked great to Admin because she was decisive....

  21. Would You/Do You Offer Assistance?

    TrudyRN replied to KellNY's topic in General Nursing

    I would have gone over, maybe out of curiosity and wanting to please my son, but I think that since EMS was there you were not ethically required to go over. If I did go, I would not tell anyone I was...

  22. FELLOW Nurses please help with this dilema. I am so upset!

    TrudyRN replied to sweetnurse2006's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt the new gal will last long. Whatever you do, do NOT start doing the work she is not doing while she props on the counter. Let her fall on her face. Then see what happens. You might not even...

  23. When staff accuse resident's of being racist?

    TrudyRN replied to LadyMonteCarlo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Now just curious - not to create a war, so please let's keep this civil. But I frankly am so tired of what seems to be the dominant view that only whites can be racists. Some of the worst racists...

  24. When staff accuse resident's of being racist?

    TrudyRN replied to LadyMonteCarlo's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, the aide definitely needs to know that her patients are sick and that sick people might not always be polite. She needs to toughen her skin a little and not take offense so readily. That's a...

  25. What do I tell her?

    TrudyRN replied to HisHands's topic in General Nursing

    The preceptee IS responsible, too. Even students can be sued. Do you think students and preceptees are totally without responsibility or that the preceptor and facility are responsible for...
