  2. incapable, helpless, unmotivated, unteachable pts who are unable to cope with life

    TrudyRN replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you did the best you could. Why not pray for her, too, if you are a pray-er? She sounds very depressed but who really knows, if we are not there with her in her home? Maybe Home Health will...

  3. Feeling tremendously sad!

    TrudyRN replied to Windshadow's topic in General Nursing

    I also am painfully shy, don't like small talk, am easily bored, feel not very part of the group, although I feel well-liked enough. The thing is, though, I know it will only take 1 incident to...

  6. Documentation and legal concerns

    TrudyRN replied to timpanzee's topic in General Nursing

    See what state and federal law says about who is allowed to dispense meds. Also, the LPN was asking the aides to work outside of their job description and delegating improperly. She had better hope...

  7. Too much big brother ?

    TrudyRN replied to time4meRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think if they are going to charge more for the 2 conditions mentioned, they should charge extra for someone with HTN, high cholesterol, PVD, pregnancy, drinkers of alcohol, users of drugs, those who...

  10. Is it my fault???

    TrudyRN replied to Cmariehart's topic in General Nursing

    So where do things stand now? BTW, did anyone know she'd had Darvocet at home several hours earlier? It sounds like the resp distresss preceeded your Methadone dose(s). Why does Days need to cover...

  11. Advice anyone...PLEASE?

    TrudyRN replied to JessicaMarie's topic in General Nursing

    Why are you supporting him? This is not right, unless he is sick and can't work. What does he do? I don't think you should drive him from your life if he refuses to work because your dtr does need...

  12. Advice anyone...PLEASE?

    TrudyRN replied to JessicaMarie's topic in General Nursing

    Many, many people have walked this road before you and have achieved their goals. You can, too. I will advise this: line up at least one back-up babysitter. 2 or 3 would be better. Make peace with...

  13. Had orientation today for RN program...heard something disturbing.

    TrudyRN replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

  16. ALL Nurses should have to be a REAL patient

    TrudyRN replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    You should both have sued. As to the statement that all nurses should experience being patients - so should all doctors and aides and therapists, social workers, and anyone else who cares for...

  17. Sen Clinton walks a day in a nurse's shoes

    TrudyRN replied to bethin's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree that it was a photo op and little more. I think the way to really understand the needs of ordinary Americans is, as someone suggested, to go in disguise and really do the shoveling, the...

  18. counting narcotics

    TrudyRN replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    The oncoming nurse must verify visually the number of narcs she is receiving. She must also be sure the number that is written down is correct, just as Rehab Nurse said. Be totally certain that the...

  19. How frustrating does correctional nursing get if you want to do it right?

    TrudyRN replied to saraltx's topic in Correctional

    Well, OP, you are aware, I see, of the realities you might encounter. I guess my reply is to just do the best you can without making anyone hate you and try to set you up for being different or an...

  21. Prison Nursing....Is it safe?

    TrudyRN replied to kanidoit2's topic in Correctional

    I think a new nurse needs hospital experience first. As for safety - you must always follow the rules. Do not give chicken to cats or mess up with prescriptions or be alone with inmates, even the...

  22. What would you do?

    TrudyRN replied to livingroomcomputer's topic in General Nursing

    'What? I don't see at all how McDonald's and this poster are related. The corporation is worth billions and billions and has more lawyers than it knows what to do with. She is, presumably, a bit...

  23. bummed about available lpn positions

    TrudyRN replied to jab3da's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure what the status is of available LPN openings but I do wish you the very best. If you do work in the Nursing home, just practice recalling everything you have learned in LPN school, get...

  24. I'm so disappointed in myself!

    TrudyRN replied to law3576's topic in General Nursing

    Why not write a letter to the Director of HR and explain the situation. Get his or her name from the hospital and write directly to that person. Maybe you won't have to go through all the...

  25. My 2 cents on natural birth/birth plans

    TrudyRN replied to feebebe23's topic in Ob/Gyn

    She's only telling them the truth. The truth is often scary. She has a right to protect herself and a responsibility to be truthful with the patient. She must be doing something right. She's got a...
