  1. Enraged (venting)

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    Reread her original post and reread what I wrote. You have misunderstood some of what we both wrote. As far as her continuing to work in this setting, I didn't tell her what to do. I suggested that...

  2. Enraged (venting)

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    I wonder why they didn't stay with the patient. Did the OP tell them to and give them the lead aprons so they could? Or did she position them outside the room? Did they suddenly get scared and...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    If you're fighting for your life, it becomes another story. Although that would not hold up in psychiatric nursing where, no matter what, staff are not allowed to lose their cool. Juries daily make...

    TrudyRN replied to RN 2 B's topic in General Nursing

    What is your status? Are you in RN school and having trouble keeping up? What exactly is the problem? Or are you just not sure which level of Nursing to start with? One thing you might want to...

  7. Do hospitals have to report RN's fired to the board?

    TrudyRN replied to nurse15dc's topic in General Nursing

    I think employers are not required to report every termination. If you do something really bad or you anger the right person, you get reported, I think is probably how it goes. Why not just ask your...

  8. Management measuring handsanitizer and soap usage

    TrudyRN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    She didn't say they were upset, only that they were monitoring

  9. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    TrudyRN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    a very wise decision; good luck job

  10. Why are nurses such back-stabbers?

    TrudyRN replied to RNforLongTime's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    IMHO, gender has naught to do with it. Some of the men I've worked for and with have been just as bad as any woman, in this regard. As for why so many employers prefer men - no hormones, relatively...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    I am just answering the OP's question. If you work somewhere where you know you are prone to violence, why stay there and then c/o about it? It sounds like my former boss - she bought a house on a...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    Angela, I never said we had no right to protect ourselves. That part you read into what I wrote. Please don't put words in my mouth or assume that I meant something I didn't say. We have a perfect...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    The sign out AMA part sounds good to me but I wonder about the legality of allowing a drunk to do that. If he later got hurt, there might be liability there. I'm not so sure we should automatically...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    I thank God that I have never been assaulted. Having worked in Corrections, though, things often got threatening. I would simply raise my voice and say to the inmate, "Don't make me yell for a...

  15. What's your holiday bonus?

    TrudyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    And the last thing that most of us need is chocolate, cookies, etc. But it's nice to be thought of, at

  16. What's your holiday bonus?

    TrudyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    never a bonus; once got a turkey for Thanksgiving and a $25 grocery store gift card for Christmas; when I was a supervisor there, I was also given a gift by my DON and chocolates by Admin; never...

    Is it possible for you to go back to wearing

  19. Looking for opinions on a situation!!!

    TrudyRN replied to txspadequeenRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the woman would not want to know. Ignorance truly is bliss. She might have suspected something already but maybe can't deal with it just now. Maybe by telling her, you'd cause a divorce and...

  20. What Is Nursing

    TrudyRN replied to ladytraviler's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing is liquids. Or you could say that Nursing is a series of interruptions, interrupted by

  21. Eeeeeewwwww!

    TrudyRN replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    You need to educate this person. Gently and courteously but do it. Just say, "Oh, wait, you don't want to carry stool from pt. A to pt. B. Throw those dirty ones away and wash your hands. And here...

    He is ill, let's not forget. He has an addiction to alcohol. Addiction. A person will sell his soul to satisfy a craving when addicted. It is an illness and the person deserves treatment. He...

    TrudyRN replied to andhow5's topic in Emergency

    First, I think you need to stop working with this type of patient. You assaulted and battered a patient, which could very well be felonious. You'd better check with a lawyer ASAP, I think. Your...
