  1. Gonorrhea

    Fribblet replied to kagkat's topic in General Nursing

  3. nusring dx

    Fribblet replied to lexingtonmom's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ugh. I hate nursing diagnoses. As to her psych issues, check out "Aura displacement" or "Energy Field Disturbance." Seriously. There are diagnoses that are that dumb. Otherwise, talk to your...

  6. Which one would you do first?

    Fribblet replied to obfuscate's topic in General Nursing

    I'd delegate the pt with toileting needs to a tech, while I went and found a security guard to delegate the abusive patient and family to. Then, I'd delegate the charting to

  7. Do I need Insurance?

    Fribblet replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

  10. Stop being so miserable

    Fribblet replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    So, you can't take what you dish out? No one can judge you when you started a thread where you make judgements about nurses? I don't care how much you smile or how much you think you're helping the...

  11. Stop being so miserable

    Fribblet replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    They were probably smiling until they saw a hoard of know-it-all, judgmental students enter the floor. They knew their day just got all sorts of worse. I would LOVE to see you respond to your own...

    Fribblet replied to Freedom42's topic in General Nursing

    Your school's library should have a lot of search options available to you. The librarian can assist you in completing an effective search to find relevant articles. You will, sadly, have to do the...

    Fribblet replied to locust66's topic in General Nursing

    The lawyer will make sure that the punishment fits the crime. The lawyer will make sure you are treated fairly. It is not about trying to get off scott free. You won't be able to do that, as you...

    Fribblet replied to aem31's topic in General Nursing

    First, I'm sorry to hear about your circumstance, and I hope you and your husband are doing well. Regarding his bath, were you with him every minute of his stay? Also, this is something you should...

  17. Mistakes

    Fribblet replied to locust66's topic in General Nursing

    Contact a lawyer ASAP. This may not have to result in a loss of your license. Be prepared for trouble, but do not try and represent yourself before the Board. This is a very hard lesson learned, and...

  18. Low Census??

    Fribblet replied to 2bTraumaRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Fribblet replied to LouisVRN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'm sorry to disappoint you, as that was not at all what I did. If you need me to "translate" the phrase, which you have misused and possibly misunderstood, I'll be happy to

  20. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

    Fribblet replied to AprilN's topic in General Nursing

  22. How do I hang on until I can leave?

    Fribblet replied to Lovely_RN's topic in General Nursing

    First, don't feel bad about not feeling challenged. For someone who is motivated and intelligent, a non-challenging position can lead you to become disgruntled, negative and burn out. Feeling like...

  23. Funny doctor orders

    Fribblet replied to laurenicoleRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    I use those figures when recording my orthostatics so I remember which pressure and heart rate correlate to which position. Did he want you to write them in next to the figures? I was actually taught...

  24. Why do nurses treat each other do way they do?

    Fribblet replied to MsbossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    More likely, they think "Ugh! I know nurses like that! I, of course, am NEVER like that!" We more easily recognize fault in others than in ourselves. I'm pretty sure just about everyone has been...

  25. Am I crazy?

    Fribblet replied to stacey914's topic in General Nursing
