  1. What about an Adult Daycare business?

    TrudyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Check with your state's social services office and other state offices, check with the library, health department, and with people who already run them. You'll need to know all the legalities and...

    TrudyRN replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I hope she wins a big, big settlement, although I do understand the employer's frustration at having their key person out for so

  3. Handling Physicians. Any suggestion?

    TrudyRN replied to AlmostThere:)'s topic in General Nursing

    LOL, several delicious scenarios come to mind. Keep a jar of syrup handy and go drizzle it on him. Walk up to him and stuff a marshmallow in his mouth and smile. Trip him and watch him go splat. Take...

  4. Passing meds you did not pull.

    TrudyRN replied to busy-bee's topic in General Nursing

    You need to absolutely refuse to do this, either as the puller or the passer. You need to get a new job right away. Today. Ain't no hypothesis about it. You need to notify the Administrator, the...

  5. Dumbest rule in your hospital?

    TrudyRN replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    having to sign our FULL name with every entry we write- but of course, only nurses have to do it and only certain nurses get written up for not doing it. Meanwhile, how many other people have totally...

  6. when you forget to carry out an order on your pt

    TrudyRN replied to poppy07's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on whether or not the patient was harmed by your missing the order. Also, if you do this routinely, that's not so good - again, depending on what it is that gets missed. And are you missing...

    TrudyRN replied to not now's topic in General Nursing

    D'jeet? As in Did you eat? Too funny! Thanks for reminding me.:balloons: OP, yes, do speak up, nicely. She needs to chill, you need to speak up. Best

  8. Sheez! She's back and venting AGAIN!!

    TrudyRN replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    You must simply stop doing anyone else's job. You must take stock of the true situation and dtermine realistic goals for care. You cannot be all things to all people. It just isn't realistic in...

  9. Should I Quit (Sorry It's Long)

    TrudyRN replied to kendratyler2001's topic in General Nursing

    Always give notice. Do not burn your bridges. Keep your mouth shut, do not tell either your present bosses or any prospective new ones of any troubles. You need to work closer to home, you need a...

  10. Got called to HR...what fun!

    TrudyRN replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    OK, but what does she do after she gets this information? Even if she beats them for now, there's the possibility of the next round. And if there something an attorney can really do? Is there a...

  11. Got called to HR...what fun!

    TrudyRN replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I had a good laugh envisioning the clean locker, charged cell phone, and purse at the ready. You go, Baby!! The only troubles are: One just cannot quit q time the job goes sour, especially if...

  12. Got called to HR...what fun!

    TrudyRN replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    My boss told me I could not bring my husband, even though I had a right to have a witness. She probably lied. As for your remark about women being snitty, I reply that there are plenty of evil men...

  13. Got called to HR...what fun!

    TrudyRN replied to 2shihtzus's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. For whatever reason, they want you gone, it sounds like to me. I am so angry reading this, since it happened once to me. I searched my heart and tried to figure out what I...

  14. "Grow a thicker skin!"

    TrudyRN replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Crying is actually pretty useful. It is often more endearing than

  15. Sister Kenny- Heroic Nurse

    TrudyRN replied to Hellllllo Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Sr. Kenny came to realize that there are (at least) 2 forms of polio. I don't know if her treatment works for both kinds but she had remarkable success with the cases she

  16. I'm sick to my eyeballs of incompetent agency nurses.

    TrudyRN replied to bulletproofbarb's topic in General Nursing

    Having worked a lot of Agency, I know I always did my best to pull my own load. When one is new to a floor or facility, it is impossible to not have to ask some questions to take care of the patients...

  17. If this is the direction of nursing management ..it stinks!

    TrudyRN replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    You could report her to DOJ or your local prosecutor and/or state Board of Nursing if you really think she should be prosecuted. Do it anonymously and they will investigate not only her but those who...

  18. I'm sorry but I'm EXTREMELY irritated by this!

    TrudyRN replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    Never mind what anyone else says, just do what is right for you. Go placidly amid the noise and the haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. Be nice to everyone, for everyone has their...

  19. How Would You Handle This?

    TrudyRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    At an inservice at work recently on Healthy Relating/Communicating, we were given an example of human behavior and asked how we'd respond. The scenario was: You are on line at a very busy store...

  20. How Would You Handle This?

    TrudyRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my younger years, I would have done that, too. Now, though, I wonder what the heck is behind this behavior, is the person armed, all that

  21. It's long, dangerous, but worth typing, to me!

    TrudyRN replied to missrose's topic in General Nursing

    it might be time to move away from the bedside for a while, missrose. or transfer to a different area where you won't have to deal with addicts or the obese. btw, not all obese people are that way...

  22. Being Belittled at Work

    TrudyRN replied to poetryeclipse's topic in General Nursing

    deeDawntee's advice is right on. 1. Stop discussing this at work. Stop, stop, and stop. Now. Even with your boss. 2. Call a lawyer immediately. Call, call, and call. Immediately. In fact, get...

  23. How Would You Handle This?

    TrudyRN replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    All of these are really great responses! Truly. In class, people were saying they'd holler for the manager or they'd confront him directly. Then someone said she would figure maybe she was being...
