  1. Please Help! Major ERROR

    bigbub3000 replied to FLA-RN's topic in General Nursing

    If you do face termination, get a lawyer and sue because you will be being made the scapegoat for the errors of many people, as mentioned by rlaffn and me and others. Don't take all the blame....

  2. Please Help! Major ERROR

    bigbub3000 replied to FLA-RN's topic in General Nursing

    Scary, isn't it, that a doctor makes rounds daily (presumably) on his or her hospitalized pt and doesn't see that the pt is now on something he didn't order. Also, the doc who gave the TO should have...

  5. OK, Cultural question here, please forgive the stupidity.

    bigbub3000 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    What's your definition of "fanatic"? The families who wanted a private room in order to pray - were they expecting to not have to pay the higher rate? Or what if a sick person needed that bed? Could...

  8. Aides who go over your head

    bigbub3000 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

    How is it that all staff seem to have the boss' phone number? I doubt I could reach my boss. I have to live with the Shift Supervisor's decisions, stupid or not. This person is new to the facility,...

  9. Aides who go over your head

    bigbub3000 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP was not made aware that Hurt was on light duty. So she could not have a meeting about that. I advise not responding to threats. Just look the person in the eye and say nothing and go...

  10. Aides who go over your head

    bigbub3000 replied to Not_A_Hat_Person's topic in General Nursing

    She's upset because they went over her head! Didn't give her a chance to fix it! To OP: let it go. Be glad the full time nurse took care of it. I think. It really does sound like much ado about...

    bigbub3000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I work in long-term care and have a stable client who has a condition that requires somewhat special care. Nothing exotic, just it requires that we be familiar with his equipment and the procedures...

  14. Disorganized Doctors? How To Handle, How To Help

    bigbub3000 posted a topic in General Nursing

    The doctor I usually see does not keep track of labs. He is very bad about filling out forms, like for FMLA, too. One has to get with his assistant, without whom he would be completely lost, I...

  15. How RN supervisor handled domestic dispute at work?

    bigbub3000 replied to Born2BWild's topic in General Nursing

    She's lucky she didn't get shot. She should have called the police and she should have probably reported suspected child

    Why is she making you wait another

  17. Pregnant and miserable working

    bigbub3000 replied to melisgood's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that your doctor is a jerk. As others have said, try working shorter shifts, try staying on the 12's but only do 1 at a time, try what the HR person recommended above. I guess if you get hurt...

  18. Seeking Your Opinions, Please - Coworker Stuff

    bigbub3000 replied to bigbub3000's topic in General Nursing

    You are psychic! This actually did happen. She was involved in some personal situation and missed a lot of work. I guess the Manager must have kept up the supplies because we had enough. Come to think...

  19. Is It Possible An LPN Can Make More Then An RN?

    bigbub3000 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

  20. Is nursing a sick , petty , vindictive world?

    bigbub3000 replied to Bono Rose's topic in General Nursing

    It can be. I've met a lot of "interesting" folks over the years, staff, bosses, patients, other coworkers. I think a lot depends on your nature. Are you sensitive and easily influenced? Easily...

  21. Legal? new employer wants list of all meds taken and medical records

    bigbub3000 replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    Time was when, if you had a clean uniform in the car, you could hire on and work today! No pee test, no nothing. There were no nurse addicts or other loonies (that we knew of) and it was such a...

  22. Legal? new employer wants list of all meds taken and medical records

    bigbub3000 replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    Easy preachin', hard livin'. About relocating and turning down this job, I mean. And you know what assuming means,

  23. Legal? new employer wants list of all meds taken and medical records

    bigbub3000 replied to babblingbrook's topic in General Nursing

    You don't even list meds at the test time. If something shows up in the urine, you can tell them then that you have a valid prescription for that med and they will confirm it with the pharmacy. Just...

  24. OK, Cultural question here, please forgive the stupidity.

    bigbub3000 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Alabama Nursing

    A male aide I know refuses to give physical care to other men because he says it violates Islam. Anyone know about this? An Imam I spoke to locally told me that it is an honorable thing for male or...

  25. Help with case study questions

    bigbub3000 replied to bnurse88's topic in General Nursing

    I always recommend the library. These days, the internet has gobs of info on it, so the libe isn't quite the place to be, maybe. I guess you could talk with other students, other women who've given...
