  3. Nurses & Emergency Scenes

    RN1982 replied to rnffemtguy's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder what she did to "help" the state trooper. My feeling is that these people may want to help but the EMTs, paramedics and fire crew are trained professionals and they know how do deal with...

  5. Rough night as a new RN in ICU please HELP!

    RN1982 replied to Jessielee22's topic in MICU, SICU

    I think you did what you could. I've only been in SICU for a little over a year now and some nights are cake and others are night. Last week I had a shift from hell, one patient who was...

  6. "And it's all going to be your fault"

    RN1982 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if she can't afford the meds and she can't take the free meds, then that's her problem. You went out of your way to offer the samples and prescribing the cheapest med. You did what you could....

  7. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    RN1982 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I get a call from one of my co-workers because I had not showed up for work. I had just looked at my schedule and it says that I was off tonight. According to the schedule at work, I was on. Ok, if...

  8. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks. This is quite out of the norm for me. Usually I'm pretty good about remembering things like that. I think it will be fine because my managers know I'm not one to be late for any reason. I...

    Update... Ok, I've had a lot of things going on. I was actually suppose to work sunday night. I forgot about a switch I made with a co-worker. Luckily, it turned out ok. They had enough staff and had...

  11. would like opinions on this letter please

    RN1982 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    My next feeling about the letter is that whoever reads it will look through your son's medical record to see what happened, will see that he was taken back and treated. It will easily be explained...

  12. would like opinions on this letter please

    RN1982 replied to kermitlady's topic in General Nursing

    You don't think she took you seriously when she placed a pulse ox on your son and it wouldn't come above 91% and then proceeded to take your son back into the ER. I perceive that as taking something...

  13. Reamed for ordering an ethics consult

    RN1982 replied to WalkieTalkie's topic in General Nursing

    You followed policy. You advocated for your patient. It's the pigheaded resident that should be reamed out. Did you speak with your manager regarding the situation? And NO, they can't deny making...

    Must be new. I like it. I want a smiley thing that says "Shut up and get over it". Or one with the little smiley head

  16. Please don't change my schedule and not tell me..

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't volunteer to. I said, if I was wrong and I was suppose to work then I would make up the shift. If I was not wrong, I am no way in hell working an extra shift and I know I'm not wrong so I...

  19. An Associates Degree Isn't A Real Nursing Degree...Vent!!

    RN1982 replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have found that I get respect no matter regardless of what my degree is. In fact, I've never had anyone ask me what degree I hold in nursing. I've only been asked "how long have you been a critical...

  20. An Associates Degree Isn't A Real Nursing Degree...Vent!!

    RN1982 replied to Newbie Nurse SMP's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I'm so sick of ADN grads being harped on as not being real nurses. Damn it, I took the NCLEX-RN for cryin' out loud. I do have those same initials, RN, behind my name just like any BSN grad. I'm a...
