  1. Protecting my license..

    TrudyRN replied to piglets2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think this boss happens to have a med tech background but she also has probably an MBA or other Health Care Administration degree or background. She is also, I think, part owner of the

  2. Protecting my license..

    TrudyRN replied to piglets2's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    You should simply just continue to verify orders whenever you need to. Your boss is not knowledgeable about this. She is dangerous! She should thank her lucky stars that you are a careful and...

    TrudyRN replied to adrienurse's topic in General Nursing

    TrudyRN replied to greatshakes's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't think it will hurt to do VS on your own if you like, just to keep in practice. You'll be fine. In a few days, you'll start feeling at home and after another short while, you'll wonder that...

  5. PT with INR Disaster

    TrudyRN replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    That office person shouldn't have gotten her knickers in a twist. Shame on her. I would have to question some lab experts to know the right answer. The accucheck idea sounds like a godsend if it...

    TrudyRN replied to gemini901d's topic in General Nursing

    OK. Glad you asked, Gemini and I wish you well in school. Good delegators know the rules about what the person being delegated to can and cannot legally do. They know the limitations and skills of...

  11. what the heck are medical assistant schools doing !

    TrudyRN replied to lauralassie's topic in General Nursing

    I hope those of you who are disturbed by these schools lying and misrepresenting will join me in letting your state reps and senators know what's going on so they can legislate a stop to

  12. Question about abandonment

    TrudyRN replied to ksnurseling's topic in General Nursing

    I once tried to get my state board to say whether or not a particular situation was abandonment. They referred me to their website, which was not clear to me. They refused to define the word...

  15. Mom needs advice please!!!

    TrudyRN replied to nurselala33's topic in General Nursing

    Well, maybe you shouldn't call. What does your dtr want you to do? As I look back, I had to not intervene too much, especially after grade school, in my own kids' lives at school. My boys...

  16. Mom needs advice please!!!

    TrudyRN replied to nurselala33's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to get involved with the school on behalf of your daughter. They seem to be breaking their word to you. Get tough with them, Mom, other wise they will continue to tell your dtr to...

  18. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    TrudyRN replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    You are not overreacting. The longer I live, the more sick I am of people being rude. Courtesy goes a long way in pacifying and satisfying people. It is not too much to ask from someone who is...

  19. is confidence a turn off

    TrudyRN replied to alluvme's topic in Ob/Gyn

    No matter what you do or how you do it, there will always be someone who doesn't like it. Be teachable and courteous, somewhat deferential, not cocky. Learn from everyone, including the secretary,...

  20. Disclosing Depression in A Nursing Job Interview

    TrudyRN replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    Absolutely keep as much of your personal life private as you possibly can. Not just on interviews but at school, at work. You never know who is harmless and a true friend and who wants to use...

    TrudyRN replied to BecomeNurse06's topic in General Nursing

    I know nothing about the schools you mention. However, I would like to advise you to try to not go into too much debt for your education. I suggest you go the Associate degree route at a junior or...

  22. Unethical behavior

    TrudyRN replied to kirkwoodnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Best to keep out of it. I'm not sure what the nurse's sex life has to do with her work. Sin, yes, but the answer is prayer, not public meddling by

    TrudyRN replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing
