  1. Are LPN's being Phased Out?

    Fribblet replied to angelcarmichael's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    It really matters more what the places who are hiring people are doing. The BON has no say over who gets hired and who doesn't at a particular job. So what the BONs are doing or planning really...

  2. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    We're not talking about those medicaid patients. That should be obvious to anyone who can read. And I submit, as has been submitted DOZENS of times already, we're not talking about those medicaid...

    Fribblet replied to angelcarmichael's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    They are being phased out at my

  4. Are hospitals deadlier in July?

    Fribblet replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I think these "poor little doctors" know quite a lot. They have had 8 years of education; 4 of which are devoted to medicine. There are some who appear to so severely lack common sense that one has...

  5. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    You're the one who is being obtuse. It is clear to anyone reading this thread that I am speaking about a SPECIFIC SUBGROUP of Medicaid families. Not all medicaid families. I'm not talking about...

  6. Are hospitals deadlier in July?

    Fribblet replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

    I take it easy on them. I remember what it was like to be new. In addition to simply trying to do your job, you have no idea where everything is, and all the obnoxious, nit-picky policies and...

  7. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Did you fail reading? Were did I say "All Medicaid recipients everywhere are the same?" Who are "these people" you speak of? I don't think I've used the term "these people" in any of my

  8. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    And who are we stereotyping exactly? We're talking about a specific group of people who are on Medicaid who behave poorly. No one has claimed to be talking about ALL Medicaid patients, which has...

  9. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    How am I treating anyone differently? We're talking about people who act like a**holes. I treat all my patients the same. I'm even nice to our FF narc seekers until they start getting abusive, then...

  10. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    My apologies, man. I'm so tired of defending my opinions from people who fail at reading that I didn't expect a legitimate post that asked an intelligent question. I have no studies to back up my...

  12. Fed up with Stupid Parents

    Fribblet replied to TXPediNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I hope when you say children you aren't including infants. I have no tolerance for parents who don't medicate fevers and by the time they come to the ER we're now dealing with seizures instead of just...

  13. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I've been speaking "from my experience" this entire thread. I'm sorry that wasn't readily apparent to you as it's been stated several times. Something else you've missed that's been stated many times...

  14. Nursing Diagnoses: Useless Statements secondary to Professional Insecurity

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Hehe. You'll get no argument from me! Now I suppose we'll have to get a text book to figure out how to replace your displaced aura. Do you think we should call a

  15. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I'm walking someone out the door who is cussing us out and threatening me with bodily harm because they didn't get the narcs they wanted, and they threaten to sue saying "I'm going to hold...

  16. Resign now??

    Fribblet replied to femsmahus's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't take this too hard if I were you, although it's hard not to. You're not getting the support you need, you had a sh***y orientation, and now you're in **** poor working environment. ICU is...

  17. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know. I was surprised, too! Didn't know that until I started working in the ER (wish I had known that in college. It would have saved me $15 ) The thing you have to realize is the ER visit costs...

  18. Resign now??

    Fribblet replied to femsmahus's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you aren't getting the support you need. It takes time as a new grad to really get your footing and build your confidence. Even longer in a specialty like ICU. How long was your...

  19. ACLS S.O.S.

    Fribblet replied to AWanderingMinstral's topic in General Nursing

    Putting my vote in for Dubin's Rapid Interpretation of EKGs. Simple and straight forward with none of the stuff you don't need to know. For ACLS be able to identify the life threatening rhythms and...

  20. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    Fribblet replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    It has been my understanding, and I'm sure this varies from state to state, that an employer cannot legally ask you why you are calling out. I have no source to back that up with, though. Just...

  21. What are the worst call in excuses you've heard?

    Fribblet replied to sasha2lady's topic in General Nursing

    One time I called and said I was going to be late because I couldn't find my keys. Turns out I left them hanging in the door when I came home from a particularly grueling shift in the morning....

  22. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. You have no experience as a nurse. Just another poster who isn't a nurse who gets on their soap box instead of letting nurses vent their frustrations. Just another non-nurse telling us...

  23. For all of those on Medicaid

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually Medicaid won't pay for it either. People who abuse the system have wised up to this and now come in with complaints of "abdominal pain" because they know from experience that all female...

  24. Nursing Diagnoses: Useless Statements secondary to Professional Insecurity

    Fribblet replied to Fribblet's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    They weren't saying that ADL care makes you less of a professional, but that ADL care makes you seem to others to be less of a professional. ADL care typically isn't an activity that requires an...

    Fribblet replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Excellent. Now, tell us how YOUR experience as a nurse in the ER or on the unit differs from
