    Fribblet replied to orangepink's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I don't think the comment was meant to demean those who don't work in a faith based institution, but rather those who don't ascribe to the OP's "faith." If they're talking about incorporating their...

  5. Medical Advice Please!!!!!

    Fribblet replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I say: Hmmm? Looks like you have AIDS. I'd go see a doctor about that. Otherwise, I give them a vague opinion such as: "you're over-reacting," or "That could be problematic." But I always end with...

  6. Compassion.... why is it so hard to give some?

    Fribblet replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When are we going to get past this "All you need is compassion," "Caring is the most important thing" drivel? Competence is the most important thing. Period. The end. I don't want a nurse who calls...

    Fribblet replied to BrookeeLou_RN's topic in General Nursing

  12. How to describe burnout professionally during interviews?

    Fribblet replied to Up2nogood RN's topic in General Nursing

    All areas of nursing become boring after a while. The ED can be pretty freakin' boring even when we're balls to the wall busy. Even in the chaos, there's a repetitiveness that can be mind-numbing....

  13. I Wish I Could Get Away with It...

    Fribblet replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    What an asinine statement. Let's just get rid of the courts and let some mythical being sort it out. Don't report narc diversion or pt safety issues. A deity will take care of it. I mean, we'd hate...

  14. Combative/Violent patients - NO MORE OF THIS!!!

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

    I agree. In no other job that I can think of is any other employee just told to "suck it up" when it comes to both verbal and physical abuse. I know in my specialty, we are the second most likely to...

  16. Combative/Violent patients - NO MORE OF THIS!!!

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

    Actually it's battery, but that's just semantics. If you're well enough to be demanding and violent, you're well enough to be escorted off the premises,

  19. "The Code Blue Disturbed The Other Patients" - Shame on you bad nurses!

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

    Most people develop the ability to understand sarcasm around the age of 12. I take it this is something you still struggle

  20. "The Code Blue Disturbed The Other Patients" - Shame on you bad nurses!

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

  23. The worth of the nurse

    Fribblet replied to Been there,done that's topic in General Nursing

    There is no evidence to back it up, but based on my knowledge and observations of the world around me, I believe this. If it's the case, I'm out. I make peanuts now as it

  24. morphine sulfate given even though has an "allergy" listed in chart

    Fribblet replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP meant to say she didn't care for the patient "at all" during this phase and so the any administration of morphine was not her responsibility. I dunno. The OP will clarify, I'm

  25. Nurse Called Police/CPS on Parents over Jaundice

    Fribblet replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't be the first time people got all up in arms about something that turned out to be untrue. Not saying this isn't true, but I am saying a rally doesn't prove anything.
