  1. Question on Grady Benefits

    Fribblet replied to ashfost's topic in Georgia Nursing

    The GA BON moves very slowly. Hunker down and get comfortable. I graduated during the beginning of the month of May a few years ago from an out of state program. It was near the end of June before...

  2. What's a "Complex Medicine" floor?

    Fribblet replied to Cabbagehead's topic in General Nursing

    I have no idea what the answer to your question is, but is your user name at all referencing the Kids in the Hall

  3. No Oncology Lecture ADN Program

    Fribblet replied to Charlotto's topic in General Nursing

    You could probably spend 4 years just studying oncology and not cover nearly everything. Nursing school can't teach every speciality. I'd be willing to bet you won't have an in depth lectures on...

  4. triage question

    Fribblet replied to RNkalima's topic in Emergency

    Don't you love hindsight triagers? We'd all be 100% accurate if we knew the outcome at the time of

  5. Prescribing narcotics to drug seekers

    Fribblet replied to Djuna's topic in Emergency

    PCPs can prescribe narcs too. People aren't being prohibited from getting a script just because an ER doc isn't writing for it. Think about

  6. In your "perfect nursing world" what would you have?

    Fribblet replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Patients that take responsibility for their health and manage their diseases like mature

  7. New Grad recruiting meeting, what to wear?

    Fribblet replied to Lennonninja's topic in General Nursing

    Really? You're meeting, face-to-face, with the people who will, ultimately, make the decision to hire you or not. This is a first impression that matters. It should be a no-brainer. You want to look...

  8. Caring for the Chart or the Patient?

    Fribblet replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Uh oh! You made a post that suggested some nurses exist that are not perfect! Put on your heat resistant suit! Because it is unfathomable to most here that you could have posted what you did and...

  9. Thinking about leaving hospital nursing, need advice

    Fribblet replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    So someone was mean to you and you left the ICU. Now someone was mean to you and you're leaving the ER. I think you're on the right track. I'm not saying any of this is you fault, but it can't always...

  10. What is up with these Sickle Cell Patients?!

    Fribblet replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Just FYI, it's sickLE cell. Not sick

  11. acls classes easier then pals?

    Fribblet replied to aeronursenj's topic in General Nursing

    Going to second all the posters who said they were pretty much the

  12. Johnson & Johnson commercials

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in General Nursing

    I have the jingle stuck in my head right now, and I'm about to go check in at work with a complaint of "Homicidal

  13. Time to call a duck a duck?

    Fribblet replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I was being a bit facetious, guys. Chillax. Although, I stand by the statement that we're skilled

  14. Time to call a duck a duck?

    Fribblet replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Professionals get paid much more inline with their education. Professionals get hour long lunch breaks. Professionals get bonuses. Professionals can finish up some work at home. Professionals can cut...

  15. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    Fribblet replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    That clarification helped. When you say "phase out" I take that to literally mean "do away with." As for "scaling back," I have no trouble believing that. :) It will be almost impossible to phase...

  16. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    Fribblet replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I stand corrected. While I wouldn't be surprised if hospitals in Texas are trying to scale back, I just don't see RNs being phased out. It's just not possible. You supplement the...

  17. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    Fribblet replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, the average RN salary in San Antonio is around 60K. If you made 101K you must have been picking up overtime like a madman. San Antonio must be a rather expensive place as well. High cost of...

  18. Time for some introspective criticism perhaps?

    Fribblet replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    This entire conversation has been about working when one is scheduled to be off work. If one is working and staffing levels are grossly unsafe, there are proper channels to protect your license. If...

  19. Time for some introspective criticism perhaps?

    Fribblet replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    Declining the offer to work on my day off poses no risk to my

  20. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    Fribblet replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    I know. :) I was making a point that the previous poster also misread my post that RNs do not make as much money as PAs right out of school. He/She suggested they

  21. Time for some introspective criticism perhaps?

    Fribblet replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    No. The coworkers who are constantly picking up the OT are the reason they are getting burnt out and physically ill. The fact that I don't do it very often, does not force them to. They choose to....

  22. PA speaks poorly of RN's

    Fribblet replied to heavenbound's topic in General Nursing

    Where can an RN make close to a 100K as a new grad. Please tell me because I'd love to work

  23. Time for some introspective criticism perhaps?

    Fribblet replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I help out when I can, but I also have an obligation to myself. I'm no use to my unit or the patients if I'm become so burnt out that I quit. The hospital is obligated to staff the units and floor...

  24. MEAN GIRLS (or GUYS)

    Fribblet replied to T14WFLY's topic in Emergency

    With someone like that though, I'd chart a little extra to cover my ass because you just never know when someone like that is going to run to management and accuse you of all sorts of crap. "Report...

  25. iv dilaudid

    Fribblet replied to cupcake25's topic in General Nursing

    I wish Allnurses would make the majority of the boards private. It would be nice to commiserate with fellow nurses without getting lectured. Yes we know there are people who are actually in pain....
