  1. Nurses are not Doctors

    fab4fan replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    AshleyKay: You were the one that said that 75% of the nurses you work with were lousy; don't try to backpedal now and say that we were mistaken in reading that. I would be willing to bet that the...

  2. Can you believe this???

    fab4fan replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    No, but threatening someone is . :stone

  3. How the Battle Axe is Born

    fab4fan replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    What a stupid thing to say; you're way too smart to be a doctor!

  4. How the Battle Axe is Born

    fab4fan replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    This is so cruel it's sickening...one can only hope he's treated to a nurse just like himself when he is old and sick. Psst...Pappy

  5. Can you believe this???

    fab4fan replied to MelRN13's topic in General Nursing

    Good answer...and you can say it without feeling that you've lied (you're not specifying what it was you were drinking). I agree that if this isn't in your contract, you have no obligation to work....

  6. IS anyone acting as a charge nurse yet

    fab4fan replied to peaceful2100's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would not recommend that you accept charge; you may have passed boards (congrats!), but just because you are now licensed does not mean that you suddenly were given the experience to be a charge...

  7. malpractice?

    fab4fan replied to mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly, Deb. There are two sides to this situation, and without all the facts, the best anyone can do is

  8. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I admit, I do have a real problem defining pregnancy as a disability in some ways. But, If indeed it is, then PUHLEEZE, get a doctor's note and let us get someone to work (even if it is...

  9. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Sigh...once again, we are talking about people who use their pregnancies to dump their work on their colleagues, not a hard-working nurse who needs a little help during her pregnancy. There is a big...

  10. malpractice?

    fab4fan replied to mednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Without both sides, it's impossible to form an opinion one way or the other. My condolences on your

  12. Nurses are not Doctors

    fab4fan replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...NP's have "abandoned nursing"? Don't presume to speak for me, either. Perhaps you'd be happier if we were back in the days of standing at attention when a doctor came to the nurses' station,...

  13. They left my love one in the E.R. for....

    fab4fan replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    moonshadeau: I'm not referring to a problem with the floors not taking admits quickly...I am talking about when there are no beds and we have to hold pts for hours-days. memphis: This is one of those...

  14. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Amen.

  15. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Forgot to add that making this a "sister" issue does disrespect our male

  16. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    Bravo, Deb! Let's not even go into the myths about what will happen to the baby if a woman has sex during

  17. They left my love one in the E.R. for....

    fab4fan replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    But taking it out on the nurse is not going to alleviate the problem. We did the best we could to make people comf. when they had to stay in the ED, but if were no beds, there wasn't a whole lot we...

  18. They left my love one in the E.R. for....

    fab4fan replied to askater11's topic in General Nursing

    I worked in the ED, and this did happen from time to time, and there was nothing that I, personally, could do about it. This is a problem that admin. should address, but inevitably, it's the...

  19. Tired of Pain! Any suggestions?????

    fab4fan replied to emmaline's topic in General Nursing

    Sharan: Kudos to you for "getting it" when it comes to pain mgmt. It's amazing the misinformation that is still out

  20. Air in IV lines

    fab4fan replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

    As noted above, it is a horse of a different color when you're dealing with a central line or peds vs adults. A small amount of air that an adult may be able to handle could spell trouble for a...

  21. Air in IV lines

    fab4fan replied to zacarias's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that a small air bubble here or there isn't going to hurt...there's no cumulative effect. It's when a large amount of air is introduced into circulation that the problem occurs....

  22. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! That was too funny! This, however, is not funny, and I can attest to the above from personal experience. I lost my job for that very reason. Too bad that when I fell down the steps at home I...

  23. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    fab4fan replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I remember years ago when I worked peds. and ribavirin was all the rage for treating RSV. It was a PITA, because you had to gown, glove, mask, etc. every time you went into the room. Nurses who were...

  24. Nurses are not Doctors

    fab4fan replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...am I ever glad someone pointed out that nurses aren't doctors. Now, I think we should tackle clarifying that the earth is round, not

  25. Nurses marrying doctors

    fab4fan replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in General Nursing

    LOL! My thoughts,
