    I hate nursing

    Your screen name is so apropos, SL. Why do you always have to be hateful? For OP - it sounds like you need some counseling for the PTSD. Also, may I suggest you involve Law Enforcement and an...
  3. How about, "Gee, Dr. Butthead, you seem enraged. How about an enema?" LOL The surgeon was totally out of line. If he wanted Bipap, he should have ordered Bipap, not gotten the nurse involved in...
  4. Had you been there long enough to have a pension? Seniority? People can't just up and leave every time the going gets rough. Doing so might have been the right thing for you, but some people would...

    AIDS "Patient Zero" exonerated

    It just goes to show - we can't believe everything we hear. It's outrageous that this kind of stuff (misunderstandings, misinterpretations) can ruin lives and

    Union gave away random drug testing

    It is not acceptable to have any Dilaudid unaccounted for. It's just not. As for the giving more pain meds than anyone else - did they look at his patients compared to the patients the other nurses...

    Union gave away random drug testing

    Obviously?

    Jobs in nursing in social justice

    I think VISTA and maybe Peace Corps are still around, maybe other groups sponsored by US government. Head Start or the group/agency that provides job training to older teens; Job Corps, I think. Or...

    First Angry Call

    As she said - the parent might have been badly traumatized and is overly anxious/has PTSD as a result. Don't you see how that is possible? Not saying she made an incorrect Dx or treated...

    Can a scrub do that?!

    Sounds contaminated. Why did she do

    On the chopping block? Need some encouragement

    Largely unfounded? But some allegations are true? Correct these at once. Look for other work, don't just wait to be fired. Yes, you could collect Unemployment but might have to give it back if the...
  13. D and D are not always welcome by some people here. Sharing, views, opinions, judgments, experiences - same thing. OP - you did the right thing. Do not feel obligated to go in on your day off ever...

    Whistle blower/terminated

    This is probably true but not necessarily. Did you have to give the lawyer any money up front or does the lawyer get paid only upon winning the case? Did they at least pay for you to fly back there...

    Would you report this error?

    I wonder why Pharmacy didn't catch the error on the Count Sheet. So where do things stand now, OP? As already stated, if a narcotic situation is in errors, stop the Count, notify the Supervisor...

  17. I have worked in a couple of Catholic facilities, have never been asked my religion. I have been asked if I had children and who took care of them, whether I had reliable transportation, whether I...

    Horrible Professor

    What action are you going to take? I am taking a class. The Instructor is tremendously knowledgeable, but he can't teach worth a darn. We students are beginners in this topic and he has 35+ years...

    what's wrong with this patient?

    I'm so glad no one has told the student to do her or his own

    Is this a bad first nursing job?

    Don't assume the nurses aren't doing much. Appearances can be

    Self Harm

    Do you know how the child is doing? I guess it's a little soon for much to have changed. But I am just

    Asked to Move to Another Floor?

    Sounds like they are either too busy themselves or rude, selfish, and unfriendly. Maybe they feel like they're not getting paid to teach, so why should they? Or maybe they are malicious dogs who...

    Domestic Violence: Why Should SHE Leave?

    The child is a child and thinks like a child, I think, if I'm understanding correctly. The short answer is that she should leave in order to stay alive and stop getting hurt. And keep the child safe....

    Domestic Violence: Why Should SHE Leave?
