  1. How are you judgemental?

    TrudyRN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Morte, I thought it was more a matter of learning. I know that some subjects come to a person more easily than another but the ones that are harder can still be mastered if a person wants to....

  2. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    TrudyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I just had a flash - what about speaking directly to him? Just say what you told us and ask him about it. Before going any

  3. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    TrudyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    Joe, he's not certified. He's licensed. She said he was a "nurse". Sadly, felony convictions might not preclude licensure. Although I don't think every felony should necessarily bar someone being...

  4. How are you judgemental?

    TrudyRN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Why can't you be for real with

  5. How are you judgemental?

    TrudyRN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Just keep doing your own thing. Some people are just bitter, jealous, unhappy people. Or maybe they're just human and are irked by this or that. What bothers me is

  6. Criminal or just Bad Judgement?

    TrudyRN replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like something is rotten in Denmark. Now the question is what to do about it. He should have gloves on, he should not be sending you out, you should not go out. I wish you well. I have...

  7. The Cold Hard Facts?

    TrudyRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Can't blame them for covering their butts. Being sued is a nightmare. I agree that we need, as a nation, to start doing health care right. Health care should not be a privilege. Everyone,...

  8. The Cold Hard Facts?

    TrudyRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    She might have known more than you think, semisweet. Also, her husband probably just could not stop being her protector or face the fact that he was losing his lifemate. It is very, very

  9. Calling In Sick.

    TrudyRN replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think she was upset because she had to work it, I guess. I also think she was totally rude to you. Just ignore her. Consider leaving, consider reporting her, consider that it's probably the same...

  10. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    TrudyRN replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Did you pass? What are you doing now? I hope things are better for you and I hope you have a great

  11. Issues in legal ethics?? Help!

    TrudyRN replied to leah7099's topic in General Nursing

    The nurse's attitude is horrid, first off. She has likely committed an illegal act by giving the Narcan without a doctor's order. She has prevented a patient from seeing a physician, she has...

  12. Do physicians deserve credit for the work nurses do?

    TrudyRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Hmmpf. Maybe if the nurses voted with their feet... I sent my letter. I hope lots of others do, too. Thanks for informing

  13. Venting and Advice Needed...Just Can't Do This Anymore!

    TrudyRN replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Another thought: Your letter needs to be sent to your state and federal legislators (senators and Representatives in Congress). This ought to help open their eyes to what nurses have to deal with. I...

  14. Venting and Advice Needed...Just Can't Do This Anymore!

    TrudyRN replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    the profanity might have been deleted but we are all thinking it anyway. let me make this totally simple for you, you poor thing. get the h out of there. lay it on the line for your boss. you are...

  15. An actual 1955 Good Housekeeping article

    TrudyRN replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    not necessarily. Men were expected to support their family themselves and be bastions of strength. Pillars. Rocks. Always strong. Like Gibraltor. They had a great deal more freedom than women...

  16. An actual 1955 Good Housekeeping article

    TrudyRN replied to MuddaMia's topic in General Nursing

    :smiletea: I assure you it is totally for real. Watch some old "I Love Lucy" shows and see how Ricky actually spanks Lucy for bad behavior. This show and "The Donna Reed Show", "Father Knows...

  18. Do you document errors?

    TrudyRN replied to nur2007sing's topic in General Nursing

    1600 NS with K+ 40 mEq per R forearm IV site at 75cc/hr; per order, IVF changed to NS at 75cc/hr.; pt A&Ox4, MAE, NAD, VS whatever they were; Dr. Smith notified; K+ level drawn and sent to lab; B....

  19. Maternal death

    TrudyRN replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was taught to not stand on ceremony in a dire emergency. We can always fight infection later. Right now we have to cut and do the surgery and start the IV's, etc. Things to skip: scrubbing,...

  20. Med pass negligence? please feedback

    TrudyRN replied to Kashia's topic in General Nursing

    I think you should chart why the pt did not get the med. Just a "refused" does not tell the whole story and it makes it look like you didn't bother to learn the reason for the refusal. Some refusals...

  21. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    TrudyRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    There are Reform, Conservative, Orthodox, and Hasidic (a branch of Orthodox) Jews. There are Jews from places around the Mediterranean, like Greece, Spain. These Jews are Sephardic. Other Jews are...

  22. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    TrudyRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    TrudyRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

  24. Pts abusing "cultural/religious" practices to manipulate RNs

    TrudyRN replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    It sounds like she is depressed and overwhelmed right now. She should receive a psych eval, maybe needs medication and/or counseling, probably could really use some help in the home, and I think she...

  25. Had a mom flip out on me today...

    TrudyRN replied to ItsyBitsySpider's topic in Pediatric

    ITA. It is very, very painful to see our children have to suffer, even if it's just a blood draw or a shot. Some parents just don't have what it takes to be the best role model for the child. The...
