  2. Tips on how NOT to appear like a Drug seeker

    TrudyRN replied to WillowBrook's topic in Emergency

    I just read up on Bornholm's Disease. What would you recommend for the pain, Willow Brook? I hope you don't have recurrences. It sounds terribly painful, compounded by ignorance on the part of docs...

  3. Tips on how NOT to appear like a Drug seeker

    TrudyRN replied to WillowBrook's topic in Emergency

    ITA. Just because one is a doctor or nurse doesn't mean one's head isn't screwed on backwards on certain issues. I always pray that those who are so ignorant, so cruel, so inexperienced or arrogant...

  4. How do you do it?

    TrudyRN replied to FGHburg's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe you could designate one nurse to do all discharges. A lot of places (skilled nursing and long-term care) have an admissions nurse, who does all the admits and then gives report to the nurse...

    TrudyRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Personally, I'd rather see grocery workers make $19 an hour than see some sleazy executive make $30 million a year off of those same grocery workers. You're durn

  9. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    TrudyRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mexico (and maybe other countries) gives the BCG vaccine against TB so probably all of them would be + and they should not get the PPD test, as they have been vaccinated. Makes me wonder why we dont...

  10. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    TrudyRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Please define "basic". And tell me how you are going to tell the parent of a sick newborn, for example, that surgery to correct a heart hole is not "basic", or something similar. "Basic" means...

  11. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    TrudyRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    . Either way, the hospital won't get paid...by the patient or the government. So who WILL pay for their ER visits? It seems the lawmakers need to pass another law saying no illegals will receive ER...

    TrudyRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    On point, WE allow illegals to come here for a stated purpose: to do the work Americans will not do at that price. We are shamelessly taking advantage of their home situations. How unethical is it to...

    TrudyRN replied to Sherwood's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you work 12 hr. weekend nights in ED? I can't imagine how you would otherwise earn that much money as a staff RN. More power to

  14. do physical therapists make more money than RNs?

    TrudyRN replied to nurse~ashley's topic in General Nursing

    ITA. Nurses simply do not realize their worth. If we did, we would also upgrade to requiring a PHD to keep our numbers low, thus be in demand. However, the politicians would probably start importing...

  15. what can docs do to us?

    TrudyRN replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    There could be more to the story than is being said here. Or, it could be just as stated, like the PA and FNP in the first story. I would just ignore them or maybe say things like I didn't want to...

  16. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    TrudyRN replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I guess they had set up a nest, LOL. Old habits die

    TrudyRN replied to pywon8's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What is the law in Malaysia about sexual harrassment? Also, can you get a group of other staff to stand up with you? Maybe you need to talk with a lawyer for advice before doing anything. Could you...

  18. Nursing job that doesn't have to deal with docs?

    TrudyRN replied to Luvbuble's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious - are you working in private facilities or public? Are the clients mostly of the same economic level? It has been my own personal experience that public facilities, which usually...
