Hello, I was wondering a couple of things. I have pseido tumor cerbri, fibro and intercranial hypertension. I have had several LP's with pressure in the high 40's. My vision is getting worse and my doctor is wanting me to get a shunt. The idea of...

OK, this is totally UNACCEPTABLE and taking a picture because you don't have a pen?? That just screams unproffesional! I have to admit one day my watch stop working and I pulled my phone out to use the stopwatch, but I explained to the patient what...

No girl, your fine

CHEMISTRY CHEMISTRY CHEMISTRY Did I say Chemistry? LOL I LOVED pysch and I have made awesome grades, then hit chem like a brick wall, having to take class over!

The only med I see that is label to treat bi-polar is Seroquel if I am not mistaken, I am not a nurse but a EMT, so please educate me if I am wrong. Tney are probably talking about xanax and ambien and Adderall, because it is almost like your taken ...

"TSH"....Ok can you tell I am tired LOL...I meant THC....I don't think they are worried about your thyroid right this second....

Sorry I just ASSumed and you know what they say about that....

I would say since it is YOUR responsibility to do the 5 rights it is every single nurse that gave the wrong dosage.

I am not questioning the fact that some problems do NOT need to be treated at a "minute clinic" I don't think the OP was saying no one should come to the clinic, if so she would not have a job. I do not see the problem though with a sports physical....

Also wanted to say this, I dont know anything about hair follicle testing but can it tell WHEN you took the percocet, if so I would ask them to review that to see that you did not have it in your system in tthe timeframe they are investigating.

You will get a job, I will keep you in my prayers about this situation. The only thing I can add is maybe the TSH wasn't the biggest issue but the percocet was. You said they were going off a claim that a patient made about not getting PAIN medicat...

Ok girlie, Stop the beating up of yourself!! We ALL have these days. This is what happens to me, if O have IV sticks that do not go well in the 1st hour or so of my shift, the rest of my entire shift is doomed and I feel sorry for the patients to ...

Should I be a nurse: I am going to scream! How in the HE double hockey sticks are we supposed to know what is right for you?? I am sorry if I sound rude not my intent, but it just makes me wonder, do you have to have all your decisions made by anot...

Stay out of it. Pink

Oh honey, bless your heart. You did what you were told to do by the senior nurse and the doctor. I would just document everything and how it played out for yourself and know all nurses make med errors, it is just a matter of time. And the ones tha...

First of all I want to say I am so sorry to you for what you are dealing with in your home. I am going through the same thing and it is hard to come to work acting like everything is OK when you are dying inside, I was married 17 years, still am but...

I am so sorry you got let go from your job but I wanted to say the most disturbing thing about your post is that your husband saying you are not cut out to be a RN, what inda crap is that?? I hope you don't believe that, you need support right now in...

You could appeal it I would think...

or mortality rate....

I am sorry this happend to you but for some reason I feel like there is more to this story than being told. Your personality has nothing to do with determining if you are a drug seeker, diverter, etc. But I do not understand how they would just fir...

He for whatever reason was asked to take a drug test, the very fact he refused is suspect. People do start rumors, makes claims, etc...Against people they don't like especially if it is a clique of people doing the talking and whispering. Sad but t...

I guess it is what the nurse feels comfortable telling you. I am a ER Tech and I have had some nurses tell me, and then I have found out after the fact, after I have started an IV or put a foley in but it doesn't matter because I treat each patient a...

Well it should actually be handled through your HR Dept. I have a pseudo tumor cerebri and I was out for an extended time. I had a very nosy manager who told me I had to bring my doctor's notes strictly to her. When I called and spoke with the lad...

I am the OP and you guys really have had me cracking up in this thread!! I appreciate all the feedback you guys gave about posts that drive you crazy. Then it went off way to the left but the posts have MADE MY DAY the past few days. You guys are hil...

Well I have mixed feelings about this. This is just MY opinion so you can take it or leave it but I was on Ambien for about 5 years. I tried several times to stop taking it and I would toss and turn and absolutely was NOT able to get back to sleep. A...
