  2. Ever seen this??

    TrudyRN replied to vamedic4's topic in Emergency

    Do you know the end result with this patient? I have personally had pain that, had it been anything but very short-lived, would have driven me to the end of my rope. I hope the doctor and med...

  3. Very Angry, About to go POSTAL!! (long vent)

    TrudyRN replied to hptogram's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Well, I guess you are prepared to either do battle or go job hunting if you do open fire. I'd advise saying anything angry in the meeting. Or even privately. You might want to have a courteous,...

  6. Wiping Butt...

    TrudyRN replied to Chicagoan's topic in General Nursing

    I think she is smart to consider whether or not she will enjoy nursing, all aspects, including cleaning poop. Personally, I knew it was time to get away from the bedside when I began gagging while...

  7. I am 51 y/o, is it too late? (need honesty)

    TrudyRN replied to wandaeh's topic in General Nursing

    As long as you're in good health and can walk, stand, lift, and learn, you should do fine. I agree, get your RN, too. Better pay. Do the LPN first, though, then get your employer to pay for the RN....

    TrudyRN replied to Purple Princess's topic in Emergency

    He didn't even examine you??? I hope you didn't get charged for a doctor's evaluation. I think I'd have been very tempted to report him. And they actually asked you about insurance and didn't...

  11. Angry mom treated rotten in ER today

    TrudyRN replied to Purple Princess's topic in Emergency

    When I had a stone in the duct, they admitted me, called in a GI guy to endoscope me, had me on IV abx and pain Rx. Maybe her case was not the stone in the duct? This whole thread is really terrifying...

  12. What is the silliest complaint someone has ever made aboutyou?

    TrudyRN replied to SharonH, RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Why does being male single you out? It's ridiculous that a c/o should gon on your file if it is found to be groundless. Plain ridiculous. The boss should probably maintain some separate file,...

    Of course she does. I can understand anger for a moment. But anger as the overriding emotion is not helpful. As I said before, education is the key. That and a good tubal

    Do you think Mom understands now about proper diet, about carrying some food and drink with her when she and babe are out? I guess I don't quite understand your anger. Frustration, amazement, yeah,...

  20. They Think I'm Working Christmas??

    TrudyRN replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

  23. They Think I'm Working Christmas??

    TrudyRN replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    We should all be grateful for our many blessings, job included. But her boss is very disrespectful and the staffing coordinator is very cruel. I've had an SC like that. She, of course, worked Days,...
