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

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

    Too bad the DON didn't check to see whether or not you'd actually been at work before she hassled you. And isn't it amazing how many paranoid people we work with? What is up with the nurse accusing...

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

    no surprise there. she's nuts and she's making her spawn nuts, too. you should be commended for not yelling back, although i think you should speak up if such insanity happens again with the three...

  7. The Circumcision Discussion

    TrudyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is horrible! I hope the parents got an excellent lawyer. And I hope they became very verbal proponents of not circumcising. I regret so much having our kids circ'd. We did it for religious...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    TrudyRN replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I seriously hope that you will report this physician to the appropriate hospital committees and to the licensing body, as he is guilty of malpractice, I believe and certainly of ethical violation....

  13. would you finish work from previoius shift?

    TrudyRN replied to Ms.RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Of course, put yourself in the position of being relieved by a nurse who is always a sourpuss and refuses to ever graciously accept that their could ever possibly be spillover. It doesn't matter to...

  14. EMS abandonment?

    TrudyRN replied to UtErRnEmt's topic in Emergency

    OP, why would it fall on you? It seems to me that the MD would be in trouble. I wonder, too, if EMT's were aware of and communicated the ST elevation. Where was Charge Nurse? Did the nurse whose...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    It sounds very problematic and not the type of setting I was picturing, being a city girl myself and used to big teaching hospitals. Heck, those nurses better keep pepper spray

  16. co-worker stealing narcotics

    TrudyRN replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    What a freakin' mess!!! I have never heard such lunacy before. The one about the DOn and ADON being hooked is only slightly worse than the DON in the OP who seems to be doing nothing. I think you...

  17. What did nursing school do to you?

    TrudyRN replied to samaletta's topic in General Nursing

    It's been a long time and I don't recall so clearly, I guess. I do remember feeling very scared and nervous at times. I did not have money worries, as living in the dorm at the hospital was...

    TrudyRN replied to iluvmynavyman's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    You can work during grad school. At least, a little bit. A lot of students work weekend option, which is working 40 hours between 3 p.m. Friday and 11:59 p.m. Sunday. Hard but lots of people do it....

  19. Midwife gets jail in baby's death

    TrudyRN replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As reprehensible as the midwife's actions were, why, why, why did the couple dare to try a home birth in the first place? After 3 C Sections??? Also, they, at any time, were free to pick up a phone...

    Thank you for being nicer, Oblivious. 1. She had been hit. He now had hold of her arm. 2. probably 3. agree 4. They were outside the scanner room. 5. I'll take your word for it, never tried to...

  21. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    TrudyRN replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I hope those cruel people someday get to be on the receiving end so they will know what it feels like. I saw this happen to a nurse in the OR once. People rode her mercilessly just because she was...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    He had hold of her arm, not her neck. And the Psych nurses I know are trained to evade. Some are martial artists. I'm not concerned about percentages. I replied to her post. I said that MAYBE she...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    Obviously nothing, Mom. I worked ER for 3 years early in my career. And it was even Nights. And, yes, we saw plenty of drunks. And back then it was Thorazine, not H&A, there were no CT scans,...
