    Triage complaints- the good, the bad, and the shocking.

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to canoehead's topic in Emergency

    Yes, or claim they're a nurse, or a doctor, or whatever. I always ask what state and look them up. I've only found one out of 10-20 of them that wasn't

    Yeah, some girl tried to tell Judge Judy she was on medical school. Judge Judy was a butt about it, but put her in her place. COME ON, you can't tell me that MA students aren't aware that it's not...

    Vanderbilt Medical Center to have nurses cleaning up

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    I work on a med-surg floor and don't have a six figure job and no time to sit on my rear, much less take the breaks and lunch I'm entitled to, so we ARE comparing apples to oranges here, aren't we?...

    The only thing originally requested from McDonald's was for her medical bills to be paid. If McD's had done the right thing in the first place no one would have ever heard of it! PS No cup holders...

    Vanderbilt Medical Center to have nurses cleaning up

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to DidiRN's topic in General Nursing

    Um...do you have a 1:1 patient ratio? *I* am working with my other patients if (hahhahhahahah!!! oh if only there were two hours between d/c and admit!!!) I have 2 hours between a d/c and an

    nurse's rights when patients are verbally abusive...do we have any?

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to proud nurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't get paid enough to be put in fear by a patient or anyone, and my license is too valuable to put it in jeopardy by trying to work while being screamed at. Visitors are invitees on the...

    nursing school bullying

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to greatestsummerever's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but for you to call this bullying tells me you don't have much life experience. He's ignoring you. Whooptie doo. How does it affect you? You have to get a paper from someone else. Are you...

    Big pay cut at Orlando Health, please help your fellow Nurses

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to skyflight's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mine in my old state was 50 cents, now it's $2. It would've been nice if they'd ushered this in with new employees instead of abusing the old ones

    Family refusing pt discharge - California

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to Enthused RN's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Yyyyyyep. As soon as they hear that the hospital will be petitioning to have a guardian appointed and for the patient to be placed in LTC they will change their tune. Happens over and over where I...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to dudette10's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yep, when I'm charge and any nurse comes up to me saying one of their patients is threatening to leave AMA my response is "hold on, I'll print out the form." We ain't playing that game. Feel free to...

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to mind_body_soul RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's obnoxious, and I can't believe any admin would tolerate it. If you don't think you'll get anywhere with management I'd contact the state licensing authority for your LTC and whoever accredits...

    New Grad Question about PRN RN jobs

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to we.cant.stop's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you can tolerate it I'd just sign up to work an extra day at your current job. That way you get some overtime hours out of it. If it's anything like where I work, they can use every body they can...

    I'd be tempted to call security on someone like this. He shouldn't be given the opportunity to feed the child before surgery. Lawd knows if the child aspirated after eating a Happy Meal it would be...

    "I don't want an admit..."

    redhead_NURSE98! replied to MessyMomma's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    LOL true. I have people argue and fuss when they're the only one that hasn't gotten an admission, because "so-and-so has only three patients and I'll be getting a FIFTH." Well, that usually means...

    Yes, they often claim "they told me there would be pain medication WAITING ON ME when I got up to the floor." I usually ask them who said that so that I can write them up, because that would be a...
